Warrior

VERSE 1

You knocked her down

Now she’s back up

This war is far from won

Ya underestimated

Now she’s liberated

Look look at what she’s done

She got hit

But she ain’t had

She got tears

But they won’t last

She’s a daughter of the new revolution

She’s a-coming, seeking retribution

CHORUS

Ooo she’s a warrior

Ooo and she don’t take any prisoners

Ooo you shoulda thought twice before messin’ with the woman

Ooo she’s a warrior

VERSE 2

Her mama told her

Her mama warned her

Honey there’s a kind of man

He’ll steal your magic

Make you average

Try to pin you down and chain your hands

But bowing down ain’t a woman’s place

We worked too hard to be erased

Keep ya head up and show ‘em what you’re made of

And when in doubt, remember who you came from

CHORUS

Ooo she’s a warrior

Ooo and she don’t take any prisoners

Ooo you shoulda thought twice before messin’ with the woman

Ooo she’s a warrior

CROWD

Aww yeah she is

BRIDGE

Women gonna rise like the water

Gonna shut oppression down

I hear the voice of my great granddaughter

Saying “fight for me, fight for me now”

CHOIR SINGS

Women gonna rise like the water

Women gonna rise like the water

Women gonna rise like the water

Women gonna rise

Ohhh women gonna rise
