Bambu
Labor of Girl
[Opening - Bambu]
She's not to be waited on, she'll get it herself
She can never get through daily living by herself
I just play my part and start this session with a session
I'll roll you light it, break it down with a lesson

What you, who you, how you, where you find the time to balance
Were you, what you, how you manage past the challenge

Who you think you are
What you think you doing
Who you think you are
What you think you doing

[Verse 1 - Rocky Rivera]
Yo i’m just trine be the best at what i do
But that ain't got nothing to do, with me and you
Why the fuck you wanna judge on my successes
Analyze all my methods, and still find time to disrespect
A woman on the microphone
Cuz i be killing every stage that i’m stepping on
And i never bow to the dominant culture
I'm a rebel
With no regard for rappers at a 7th grade reading level
I liberate the people mentally chained
And for this reason I am never afraid
No playing the victim
I got a mission of killing the competition
I know you probably heard of me, I dont think you were listening
Looking for a real MC? I am the definition
[Chorus - Bambu]
She says, she's not to be waited on, she'll get it herself
She don't need my help, she need her space
And you can tell she been through it, used to it
I just do it in the chorus, whatever she want I keep it G and supported
Recorded, let the homies know how they should keep
The labor of a girl is why we breathing, play it
And let the homies listen while she speaking
The labor of a girl is why we breathing
Let the rhythm hit them wisdom leaking out the sub and the speakers
And I bet she'll make your patriarchal ass a believer
They say a women's work is never
They say a women's work is never
They say a women's work is never ever never ever done

[Verse 2 - Rocky Rivera]
They say a woman’s work is never done
Tell that to a baby mama paying rent with a little one
Working so hard just to get by
No benefits cuz my punk supervisor only gave me 39
So i boosted up the cash box
Running scams on the register, jerking (?) on the regular
I don’t give a fuck about a corporation
Victimless crime, and the tag says made in vietnam
Please elaborate, whose the one doing the crime?
Paying 20 cents an hour clock maximum time
And 2 wrongs make it easy to justify what I do
Cuz the system is the problem, I’m just trina make it through
With the situations i’m given, circumstance that i’m living
And who gone feed the baby if they lock me up in prison
So i’m damned if i do and i’m damned if I don’t
Who gon’ hold a sister down if the government won’t
[Chorus]
