Hey Florida, Frankie, Molly, Una, Vanessa, Rochelle, what you doing Saturday, girl?
I'm doing nothing, cause then at least I'm doing nothing wrong
And I'm gonna stay in on my own, then turn off my telephone
If nothing's game, then nothing's won
And you can tell them
Yeah, you can say whatever, I don't care
And if you wanna play it cool, then I got news for you
It's getting hotter, hotter in here
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on missing out the words
So when I speak, listen, as you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard
I'm gonna lift and lift it higher
I'm gonna lift and lift it higher
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on missing out the words
I'm getting closer
I'm moving in and yeah, I think you know
Cause I am sick of playing games
And I'm not gonna say no names
But you and I know who to blame
So you can tell them
Yeah, you can go ahead and put it straight
Cause I am finishing myself
And I do not need your help
I'm gonna do this, do right
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on missing out the words
So when I speak, listen, as you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard
I'm gonna lift and lift it higher
I'm gonna lift and lift it higher
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on missing out the words
She said I'm messing up the words
But this ain't what I heard
I get it first hand
Trying to push me to the curb
Just what I deserve
I get on her nerves
Damn, she got curves
All of it is hers
I talk, she talk
But then it's my fault
Run a limit, she be tripping
I did nothing at all
Put me on a mission
Trying to listen to the world
Say I got a feeling
Like she's speaking to the wall
No understanding
Shot her demanding
Yeah, I've been spinning around
Got my head in a bandage
Girl, I'm following your map
I've been taking a bandage
So you're sticking my ground
But then I hear
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on missing out the words
So when I speak, listen, as you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard
I'm gonna lift and lift it higher
I'm gonna lift and lift it higher
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on missing out the words
