Brandy
Lady Z Strikes Back
I still have dreams of being on top
But I'm from where bottom is
I'm really the mother of this and I even gotta kid
Yeah I bag groceries and I ain't really proud of it
But I chose silence over violence
And that was the consequence
Ain't wanna get into it
That's why I got out of it
I got a pile of talent
But the game is all politics
I don't honor it
I'm positive
'Bout what the problem is
The music biz is ran by some
Narcissistic misogynists
And I'm the opposite
Very low tolerance
I been spurring these girls since the 90s
Gregg Popovich
If I'm all bout my biz
Then they say that I'mma bitch
I would tell what you did
But I'm really not a snitch
It's obvious
Who's the queen and who the coward is
It's no stopping this
See my tone is really ominous
Dominant
Put you where the Garbage is
Hit you where ya Wallet is
Your Pockets is
And I ain't with the talkin so...
Cause I don't give a damn what they say
Cause I see you for who you are
Taking your place on the throne
I need you to see it because I believe it
Cause if they only knew
All of the things that we been through
They don't want you to win
But they can't stop you from winning (nah nah)
They they can't stop me (nah nah)
They they can't stop me (nah nah)
They they can't stop (But they can't stop you from winning, nah nah)
Now now now now there's some issues with the industry
It's official it isn't me
I seen the lies and realized how they
Depicted me
Was all a facade
A mirage
A mystery
Now it's time for... HERstory
To change HIStory
Explicit sent for me
And I had an epiphany
I could see it vividly
Me having the victory
20 years later still keeping the same energy
If it's meant to be
I'll get what is meant for me
Can't mention female rap and don't mention me
Over charge for the Cold Crush and what they did to me
Was livin' in infamy
I'm a woman if dignity
Hold the torch for all my girls
Lady liberty
Now I'm a different Z
Y'all don't even exist to me
Mentally, emotionally and physically
Only goofy I'll ever watch is on Disney
I don't give a damn what they say
Ain't even listenin'
Cause I don't give a damn what they say
Cause I see you for who you are
Taking your place on the throne
I need you to see it because I believe it
Cause if they only knew
All of the things that we been through
They don't want you to win
But they can't stop you from winning (nah nah)
They they can't stop me (nah nah)
They they can't stop me (nah nah)
They they can't stop (But they can't stop you from winning, nah nah)
