So, this producer hit me up on the DM

He told me, "Hey, I really like what you are doing"

He told me, "Come round to the studio, let′s cook it"He told me, "Come to catch a vibe and make some music"

But when I got there, should've heard what he was saying

Tryna touch me, tryna fuck me, I′m not playing

I should've left that place as soon as I walked in it

How God damn dare you do that to me, really?

Coming like the ice cream man

'Til I felt his ice-cold hands

And how I pay the price now, damn

God damn, no what the, God damn

Everything you did, it left me in a ruin

And no, I didn′t say a word, I guess that proves it

I′m a woman, oh, yes

'Cause I′m a woman

I'm a very fucking brave strong woman

And I′ll be damned if I let a man ruin

How I walk, how I talk, how I do it

Man, I've been broken for a moment, I′ve been through it no

It's even harder to be brave alone

Was a girl, now I'm grown, I′m a woman

A very fucking strong woman

And I was seven

Was 21, was 17, and was 11

It took a while to understand what my consent means

If I was ruthless, they′d be in the penitentiary

But all the stress of being honest wouldn't help me

I pushed it down, but it was living in me rent free

And then I fell into some things that were unhealthy

A place where no one heard me asking them to help me

Coming like the ice cream man

′Til I felt his ice-cold hands

And how I pay the price now, damn, God damn

Everything you did, it left me in a ruin

And no, I didn't say a word, I guess that proves it

I′m a woman

'Cause I′m a woman

I'm a very fucking brave strong woman

And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin

How I walk, how I talk, how I do it

Man, I′ve been broken for a moment, I′ve been through it no

It's even harder to be brave alone

I was a girl, now I′m grown, I'm a woman

A very fucking strong woman, mmh

I wish I could say how I feel, how I felt

And explain why I′m silently blaming myself

'Cause I put on these faces pretending I′m fine

Then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind

In my head, always going round and round in my head

Your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin

You made me frame myself for your sins

You pathetic, dead excuse of a man

Ooh-ooh

Yeah, a brave strong woman

Oh-oh, yeah

Eh-eh, ay, oh, oh, oh

And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin, oh

I'm a very fucking brave strong woman, yeah
