#jada's song

i bared my teeth that can chew through anything
especially those whose reflections i see
you tell me that i'm too damn angry
i'm sorry, but i disagree

i'm just a woman who's been hurt and betrayed

i know that there was life before you
i recognize not all men are assholes
so please forgive me if my tinted lenses
are not coming up all roses

i'm just a woman who's been hurt and betrayed

daily oppression is a reg'lar occurrence
walkin' down the street and i'm too 'fraid to speak
women's clitoris's are being cut off
girls are being murdered 'cause they want to read

we're just women and we've been hurt and betrayed

jada i love you

you're so bold and beautiful

not letting tragedy get in your way

you showed your face

and denounced their stigma 

thank you for being an inspiration  

i am jada, and i am not afraid

i am jada, and i am on my way

we are women and we are not afraid

we are women and we are healing today

we are women and we are on our way
