I'm bout that H, town coming coming down
I'm coming down, drippin' candy on the ground
On the ground
H, Town, Town, I'm coming down, coming down

I know when you were little girls
You dreamt of being in my world
Don't forget it, don't forget it
Respect that, bow down b*tches
I took some time to live my life
But don't think I'm just this little wise
Don't get it twisted, get it twisted
This my sh*t, bow down b*tches
Bow down b*tches, bow bow down b*tches (Crown)
Bow down b*tches, bow bow down b*tches (Crown)
H Town b*tches
H, H Town b*tches
I'm so crown crown, bow down b*tches

I'm about that H, town, coming coming down
I'm coming down, drippin' candy on the ground
On the ground

H, H town town
I'm coming down
Coming down
Drippin' candy on the ground

We teach girls to shrink themselves
To make themselves smaller
We say to girls
"You can have ambition
But not too much
You should aim to be successful
But not too successful
Otherwise you will threaten the man"
Because I am female
I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices
Always keeping in mind that
Marriage is the most important
Now marriage can be a source of
Joy and love and mutual support
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage
And we don't teach boys the same?
We raise girls to each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
Which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings
In the way that boys are
Feminist: the person who believes in the social
Political, and economic equality of the sexes

You wake up, flawless
Post up, flawless
Ride round in it, flawless
Flossin on that, flawless
This diamond, flawless
My diamond, flawless
This rock, flawless
My rock, flawless
I woke up like this
I woke up like this
We flawless, ladies tell 'em
I woke up like this
I woke up like this
We flawless, ladies tell 'em
Say I, look so good tonight
God d*mn, God d*mn
Say I, look so good tonight
God d*mn, God d*mn

Momma taught me good home training
My Daddy taught me how to love my haters
My sister taught me I should speak my mind
My man made me feel so God d*mn fine

You wake up, flawless
Post up, flawless
Ride round in it, flawless
Flossin on that, flawless
This diamond, flawless
My diamond, flawless
This rock, flawless
My rock, flawless
I woke up like this
I woke up like this
We flawless, ladies tell 'em
I woke up like this
I woke up like this
We flawless, ladies tell 'em
Say I, look so good tonight
God d*mn, God d*mn
Say I, look so good tonight
God d*mn, God d*mn
