Lyrics

Your challengers are a young group from Houston Welcome, Beyoncé, Lativia, Nina, Nicky, Kelly and Ashley The hip-hop rapping, Girls' TYME I'm out that H-town Comin', comin' down I'm comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground H, H-town-town, I'm comin' down Comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground I know when you were little girls You dreamt of bein' in my world Don't forget it, don't forget it Respect that, bow down bitches (crown) I took some time to live my life But don't think I'm just his little wife Don't get it twisted, get it twisted This my shit, bow down bitches Bow down bitches, bow-bow down bitches (crown) Bow down bitches, bow-bow down bitches (crown) H-Town vicious, H, H-Town vicious I'm so crown-crown, bow down bitches I'm out that H-town Comin', comin' down I'm comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground H, H-town-town, I'm comin' down Com-com-comin' 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 see 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, a person who believes in the social, political And economic equality of the sexes You wake up (flawless) Post up (flawless) Ridin' 'round in it (flawless) Flossin' on that (flawless) This diamond (flawless) My diamond (flawless) This rock (flawless) My Roc (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" Goddamn, goddamn Say, "I look so good tonight" Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn! Mama taught me good home training My daddy taught me how to love my haters My sister told me I should speak my mind My man made me feel so goddamn fine (I'm flawless) You wake up (flawless) Post up (flawless) Ridin' 'round in it (flawless) Flossin' on that (flawless) This diamond (flawless) My diamond (flawless) This rock (flawless) My Roc (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" Goddamn, goddamn Say, "I look so good tonight" Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn The judges give champion Skeleton Groove 4 stars A perfect score, the challenger, Girls' TYME, receives 3 stars Skeleton Groove, champions once again Congratulations, we'll see you next week
