From Nairobi to Manhattan
You working hard, no slacking
But against your male coworkers
You only get a fraction
78 cents to the dollar baby
We know it ain’t fair, that’s why I holler baby

When girls get education
Their GDP grows taller
Let’s stop this hesitation
What up to Malala!
Too high a percentage, high high a percentage
Of girls out of classrooms, out of classroom, so let’s get it now

Jump in the Cadillac
(Girl, let's put some miles on it)
In Saudi Arabia
They don’t let women drive
But you deserve it baby, you deserve it all
So why won’t they give it to you

Don’t need jewels shining so bright
Just equal pay, equal rights
Ladies, for you that’s what I’d like, that’s what I’d like
We won’t stop fighting for your rights, for all your rights

It’s your body, do what you like
We need equal pay, equal rights
Ladies, for you that’s what I’d like, that’s what I’d like
We won’t stop fighting for your rights, for all your rights

You can keep your 24 karat
Just put an end to child marriage
For girls in Tanzania
Forget yo’ horse and carriage
You’re a class act, you ain’t no second class
So many glass ceilings that we gotta smash

Harassment in the workplace
Should never ever happen
Take a look in that mirror
Tell me who should take action?
Is it you? (is it you?) is it me? (is it me?)
Say it's us (say it's us) and I'll agree, baby

Fund women’s healthcare
More nickels and dimes on it
Tax on your tampons
That’s a sexist crime, ain’t it?
But you deserve it baby, you deserve it all
So come on, let’s level the law

Don’t need jewels shining so bright
Just equal pay, equal rights
Ladies, for you that’s what I’d like, that’s what I’d like
We won’t stop fighting for your rights, for all your rights

It’s your body, do what you like
We need equal pay, equal rights
Ladies, for you that’s what I’d like, that’s what I’d like
We won’t stop fighting for your rights, for all your rights
