Please don’t be afraid
'Cause we are strong women to reckon with
We got big strong minds,
massive hearts, and you’ll find,
we don’t take shit from anyone

So if you’re the kind of man who fears woman
And if you’re the kind of man who doesn’t like being spoken back to
If you’re the kind of man who feels superior
Well, there’s nothing else that we can do

But stand up, be strong,
keep singing our song that spites you
Try to make right all the wrong you’ve done
We will still fight ‘till our honors won

I know it hard to deal,
with a force so threatening
We can think, and feel,
and change the world in ways,
that you can never conceive

So if you’re the kind of man who fears woman
And if you’re the kind of man who doesn’t like being spoken back to
If you’re the kind of man who feels superior
Well, there’s nothing else that we can do

But stand up, be strong,
keep singing our song that spites you
Try to make right all the wrong you’ve done
We will still fight ‘till our honors won

And every time another one of us is shunned,
every time another one of us is gunned down
the Earth cries out in pain,
having to erase another name

And every time our self-esteem’s depleted,
every time another one of us is beaten
We have to say a prayer…
And hope another man not dare

So if you’re the kind of man who fears woman
And if you’re the kind of man who doesn’t like being spoken back to
If you’re the kind of man who feels superior
Well, there’s nothing else that we can do

But stand up, be strong,
keep singing our song that spites you
Try to make right all the wrong you’ve done
We will still fight ‘till our honors won
