[Verse 1]

You would have us forget, you would have us make it easier

Have us regret, you would never say her name

You would have us forget how the mother's pressure freed the sons and daughters caught in torture chambers

Talk about it

Yeah, we've always been great, for a long time now

But you always debate, for a long time now

What a woman should make, what a woman should take

But you never ask a woman, what a basic mistake

Naona chenye mimi sita-do

Ni ku-argue na mafala busy-body like you

Wale wanafikiria sindiria ni weakness

Ni better ni speak less, my actions m-witness

Keep saying, "Not the right time"

You keep telling us, "Not the right time"

You keep singing, "Not the right time"

You keep telling us, "Not the right time"

[Chorus]

I'm my own fix, I'm my own fixer

Write my own script, write my own scripture

And I’m so chic, getting more sicker

See the whole mix, see the whole picture

Getting loud, getting louder

Getting loud, getting louder

Getting loud, getting louder

Getting loud, getting louder

[Verse 2]

Power, power, power, sisi ndio power

Watoto wa hao, ndio sisi hawa

This time, hatuchoki, this time, hatuogopi

Pesa hatukopi, tena hatusoti

Ngumu kunishika, kwanza jenga ka-CV

Mna pressure ya ku-marry but hatujisikii

Mtabaki mkicheki, shinda mki-debate-i

Kwenye ninaget-i pesa ya kibeti

This one's for the women who came before for us

Who build the world for us, who make it work for us

This one's for the women who came before for us

Who build the world for us, who make it work for us

[Chorus]

I'm my own fix, I'm my own fixer

Write my own script, write my own scripture

And I’m so chic, getting more sicker

See the whole mix, see the whole picture

Getting loud, getting louder

Getting loud, getting louder

Getting loud, getting louder

Getting loud, getting louder

[Interlude]

You would have us regret, you would never say her name

You would have us forget, you would never say her name

You would have us forget, you would never say her name

You would have us forget, talk about it

[Outro]

You have never been straight, you keep telling us, "Wait"

Then you switch up the date, tumechoka

Then you tell us we hate one another, you blame us

You keep trying to shame us to erase us

Ooh, you would have us believe

There is something too big we can never achieve

Ooh, you would have us believe

There is something to be, we could never receive
