_ _ _ [F#] _ [C#m] _ _ I [F#] was done [C#m] at 16, _
_ [F#] showing up [C#m] for class. _ _
I was [F#] out there [C#m] in the brain, learning how to [Em] kick some ass. _
[F#] I was [C#m] done at 16, _ using my [C#m] mama's keys.
It [G#] was all on me, it [C#] was all on [C#m] me. _
One note, three [B] _ writes, [F#m] one no [G#] I owe [C#m] you. _ _
[D] I [F#m] bought my way, yeah, I paid [E] my [C#m] dues.
And I showed up doing this on the [F#] first day [G#m] of rec room.
[C#] _
[F#] How about _ _ [C#m] you? _
_ How about you? _ _
I'm not _ _ broski [F#] for every [A#] chance I get.

You _ [A] get [B] much more, much more than [C#m] your say.
[F#] _ _ _
[A] Government, _ _ [B] religion, it's all just _ _ [F#m] patriarchy. _

_ _ _ _ _ _ Just [D#m] leave it [G#] one thing. _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Because there's one thing that a man needs [B] to be truly [C#m] free. _ _
This is the modern world and [B] one [C#] thing is [C#m] money. _ _
[F#] There are [E] rules that [F#] _
a woman [C#] _ [G#] needs _ _ control _ _ _ over her own [C#m] body.
_ _ [F#]
I pay [C#m] the price [F#m] on top of _ [G#m] everything.
[C#m] _ _
Each [F#] month a bill, [F#] each month a [E] recognize.
_ [C#m] _ _
Each _ day that I [F#m] _
cry and [G#] I bleed. _
You _ can't tell me. _
You can't [C#m] tell me.
Yeah, I _ am a [G#] soldier.
It's my blood that _ [F#] flows.
I give my life so that this [C#] creak can [C#m] grow. _
You [F#] don't know [C#m] _ _ _ [F#] creation _ like [C#m] I know.
_ [F#]
So you _ _ can't tell me.
You [E] can't tell [C#m] me.
_ [F#]
You _ [C#m] _ can't tell me. _
You can't tell [F#m] me. _
