Fight Like a Girl

Little girl alone on the playground Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around Wishin' she was invisible To them She ran home cryin'"Why do they hate me?" And Mama wiped the tears and said "Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful. So, hold your head high. Don't ever let 'em define The light in your eyes. Love yourself, give them Hell. You can take on this world. You just stand and be strong And then fightLike a girl." At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin' Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin' She was never gonna be one of the boys, no She coulda gave up on her ambition And spent the rest of her life just wishin' Instead she listened to her mama's voice sayin "Hold your head high. Don't ever let 'em define The light in your eyes. Love yourself, give them Hell. You can take on this world. You just stand and be strong And then fightLike a girl." Oh, with style and grace Kick ass and take names Ten years of climbin' that ladder Oh, but money and power don't matter When the doctor said "the cancer spread" She holds on tight to her husband and babies And says "this is just another test God gave me. And I know just how to handle this "I'll hold my head high I'll never let this define The light in my eyes Love myself, give it Hell I'll take on this world Yes I'll stand and be strong No, I'll never give up I will conquer with love And I'll fight likeLike a girl
