[Verse 1]

I was trying to keep this album pure

But the malice of the world keeps on knocking at my door

I wanted to give hope, never meant to entertain

All the study and the writing could never be in vain

And don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that

It's just me who's sick and tired of these games of little men

Who try to use me as their income

The face, the voice, the body and the wisdom

I'm the woman whose story has never been told

Actually I'm all womеn whose story's been put on hold

For some men's sakе, by some men's faith

They say it's safe this way

But now I ask, safe for who?

Safe as contraceptive pills that causes thrombosis and those sad moods

You gave as medication to control what your dicks can't

Then you call us crazy, you hate the secondary effects

We been underdiagnosed for ages compared to you

'Cause in theory women endure the pain better than you

Research of female specific conditions have been underfunded

'Cause we are women warriors and still the weaker gender

Isn't it ironic?

I love these double standards

It's like we need protection till you lose the upper hand

Every time you need to save your own skin we are more than capable

Suddenly we're strong, petty and unbreakable

[Chorus]

I'm done with searching for purity

I'm done enduring the pain

I'm done pretending it's fine by me

Oh, your morals ain't nothing but chains

[Verse 2]

I went on national TV to promote a new song

My family watched it in real time, I felt lucky to have support

Soon as I leave the set, I received a couple calls

You did so well, but we need to tell you need to choose better your clothes

You looked fat like you were pregnant

And those braids, they don't fit you, you ain't a black girl

You have such beautiful hair, why you insist to use hairstyles of people who don't have it?

Suddenly, all my efforts were in vain

Didn't matter how I spoke, didn't matter how I sang

All that mattered was my stomach too swollen to be seen

And my hair that was too black to please my whitewashed family

I wonder how the hell did all this start

Women being judged like paintings

Our brains are the real art

Was it genesis spread on God's behalf?

Descendant of a man's rib?

Don't make me laugh

[Chorus]

I'm done with searching for purity

I'm done enduring the pain

I'm done pretending it's fine by me

Oh, your morals ain't nothing but chains

[Verse 3]

Our need to overcome the struggle is our strength

And maybe that is needed to face labor, to face death

So many times I wonder if we only came to suffer

'Cause it takes a woman's pain for everyone's first breath

My heroes are female, fought great wars undercover but were considered just a detail

Were inventors, poets, traders, but history is still male

My heroes are female

Single mothers of five, work three jobs to raise their children

My, my heroes are female

Clean up bathrooms in rich houses out of shame they do it hidden

My, my heroes are female

Always survive, always rise, I wish your stories had been written against the odds but blessed by gods

The bravest people I know are all women

[Chorus]

I done with searching for purity

I'm done enduring the pain

I'm done pretending it's fine by me

Oh, your morals ain't nothing but chains

[Outro]

Your morals ain't nothing but chains

Your morals ain't nothing but chains

Your morals ain't nothing but chains

Your morals ain't nothing but chains

Your morals ain't nothing but chains

Oh, your morals ain't nothing but chains

Your morals ain't nothing but chains
