I’m one man looking from a woman’s point of view,
How men think women can’t do what we do.
America seems to be run by men,
Men started it, progressed it, from beginning to end.
All men only men doing everything,
Even though it’s just to buy girls diamond rings.
We should give them a chance to show what they can achieve,
I know they can do it, I really believe.
Harriet, Ms. Rosa Parks, and Condoleezza Rice,
Shaking up America and giving it a little spice.
So get up women, no time to dance,
I’ll fight to give you an everlasting chance.
