The Day Women Took Over

(album: Black America Again - 2016)

[Common:]
There's something 'bout this day that seem good to me
When people I ain't like is showing love to me
Good food and the mood and the hood is free
Peace and free is the frequency
This is the day women took over
No longer over your shoulder do you have to look over
Imagine, war is now over
Mothers get medals for being courageous soldiers
On dollars, it's Michelle Obama, Oprah and Rosa
The mayor, the shah is Liz Dozier
Hoods feel safer, families feel closer
We all drunk in love with no need to be sober
Ladies get their hair done, and men, we notice
You get high grade Indian weaves, at the lowest
Prices, chivalry is no longer lifeless
We opening doors and pulling out chairs again
Things are merry, there's more marrying
Monthly free doses of Motrin and Valerian
For your menstrual, it's no more minstral shows
Depicting women as ignorant simple hoes
It's more love songs from the radio
Respect for the ladies, you can hear it in the flow
Egos aside, for each other we rise
Since they done give us a life, the whole world feel alive

[Bilal:]
Oh, when women take over the world
Oh, every woman, boy and girl
Oh, maybe one day, we will see
Peace and unity the way it's meant to be

[Common:]
The day women took over, let it continue
Now women get paid as much as men do
Dr. Angelou's looking from Heaven's window
Telling young girls phenomenal woman is in you
Body is a temple, men don't pray
Mother earth's arms around you saying it's okay
Toilet seats down, that's a no-brainer
Monuments in Washington of Fanny Lou Hamer
Harriet, a soldier of truth is marching on
Women preachers and world leaders, it now the norm
Healthcare, paying for nails, jails and fill-ins
Intellectual building, intersexual healing
No sticking movers, and no quick shooters
After 15 minutes, calling you a Uber
The New World Order is fathers loving their daughters
And baby's mamas supported and ladies getting courted
In court, kids can't be tried as adults
And women, they called B's because they a boss
In all shapes and sizes, beauty is recognized
Goddess and queens is what we use to describe
Now Michelle Alexander wrote the new constitution
Beyoncé made the music for the revolution
Imagine it, a world more compassionate
The malice of the feminine and masculine, I'm asking if

[Bilal:]
Oh, what if women took over the world
Oh, every woman, boy and girl
Oh, maybe one day, we will see
Peace and unity the way it's meant to be
