Power - Joy Crookes

I don’t need your permission

I don’t want that disease

Lurking through every finger

That you pointed at me

Don’t you like it so sexy?

Wearing it like it’s free?

Dropping half-priced opinions

But calling me «Coupon queen?

«, hm

You got bitches, you got hoes

We the people, and we know

All we want is to be accepted

But you see?

No, you don’t

You got ideas, all the same

I’m your scapegoat, feed me blame

In the back of your mind

You know you wasted time

And you’re crossing lines with your

Crossing lines with your

Power

Come and spend it on me

Power

What it means to be free

Here’s the truth, one condition

Can’t kill my ambition

Not about if you like how I sing

Can’t take my power

You got nothin' on me

You’re a man on a mission

But you seem to forget

You came here through a woman

Show some fucking respect, hm

We your bitches, we your hoes

We the people, and we know

All we want is to be accepted

But you see?

No, you don’t

You got ideas, all the same

I’m your scapegoat, feed me blame

In the back of your mind

You know you wasted time

And you’re crossing lines with your

Crossing lines with your

Power

Come and spend it on me

Power

What it means to be free

Here’s the truth, one condition

Can’t kill my ambition

Not about if you like how I sing

Can’t take my power

You got nothin' on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

Close your eyes 'til you can’t see me

Yellow polka dot burkini

That they stole off her body that day

If you really want to free me

Tell my mummy that she’s pretty

Melanin is not your enemy

Power

Come and spend it on me

Power

What it means to be free

Here’s the truth, one condition

Can’t kill my ambition

Not about if you like how I sing

Can’t take my power

You got nothin' on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

On me, on me, on me, on me
