Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I could raise the crops from the Earth
I could raise my children from birth
But when I'm lookin' for work
They say that job ain't for her
I could be a good man's wife
I could get a new try at life
But when I fight for my rights
They say "No Woman, No Cry"
[Verse 2]
But I ain't givin' up
I can't count on luck
[Verse 3]
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep workin'
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Right now, no one serves me
Maybe their hands are dirty, dirty, dirty
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
[Verse 4]
I could lead impossible missions
Occupy the highest position
But when I ask them to listen
They disregard my opinion
Well, I ain't askin' no more
I will command the floor
I'm wreckin' every glass ceilin'
I'm buildin' skyscrapin' buildings
[Verse 5]
And when that next storm comes
I do what I always done
[Verse 6]
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep workin'
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Am I so unworthy?
Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty?
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, ha
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 8]
And I have seen the other side of the mountain
Where every queen will be afforded her throne
And I will stand beside my sisters
And all persistent resisters
They'll say "I knew it would come true"
And I'll say "Darlin', me too"
[Verse 9]
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep workin'
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Right now no one serves me
Maybe their hands are dirty
[Verse 10]
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep workin' (Keep workin')
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Am I so unworthy?
Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty?
