lyrics
baby girl oh she feels isolated, ugly and jaded, i know what that's like
push come to shove and she's getting angry, hard rain so heavy, nowhere to hide
sister virgin or whore, every rose got its thorns, wise up girl get free
no one's stronger than we
grrrls like us, know how to ride rough, let's roll
burn the day light face the rip tide alone
you don't have to hold me I've learned to hold my own
they say rude grrrl, rude grrrl, rude grrrl ...yeah
glass is half full but my grrrl is thirsty, she want more so badly, you know what that's like
caught in a cage raw animal rage, red blood in her veins, fists to the sky
i don't need no permission, people told me that i'd, never amount to much
well fuck them we too hot to touch
grrrls like us, know how to ride rough, let's roll
burn the day light face the rip tide alone
you don't have to hold me I've learned to hold my own
they say rude grrrl, rude grrrl, rude grrrl ...yeah
ain't no man gon control me, them Geneva and i'm an armed g
pon the streets with my rude grrrl army
watch we march like Marcus Garvey
from my titties to my baby timberlands
check the mirror and i love who i am
you can't hurt me, you can't hurt me now
you can't hold me you can't keep me down
you don't have to hold me I've learned to hold my own
they say rude grrrl, (rude grrrl) rude grrrl, (rude grrrl) rude grrrl, (rude grrrl) yeah
they say rude grrrl, (rude grrrl) rude grrrl, (rude grrrl) rude grrrl, (rude grrrl) yeah
they say rude grrrl, (rude grrrl) rude grrrl, (rude grrrl) rude grrrl, (rude grrrl) yeah
