lyrics

[Verse 1: Plasthic Slash]
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Who should run this earth, the living or the dead?
We take cues from a pool of dudes who didn’t know better
When we should be racking our brains to change the old era
Gender equality, let it shape the zeitgeist
Women ain’t property, terminate the bride price
Scrap traditions that disinherits your daughters
And see many more become seasoned medics or lawyers
First class graduate, first class plane tickets
But a second class citizen when she pays visits
Some forced to prostitution, at the mercy of pimps
Let bias in the constitution be the first we amend
On my side of the fence, I can see it’s greener
Beat a man it’s a felony, beat a woman it’s a misdemeanor
Damn! This needs more time than a sixteen takes
'cause most need a learning curve 'fore they can think straight

[Bridge: Samflow]
Let’s go for it, we’re all stakeholders in this
It got to be, cannot run away from it
What is good for him should be also good for her
Gotta find a way to get that, gotta find that way together

[Hook: Samflow]
Let’s get started, prejudice against our women’s crazy
Sadly, we all see examples of it daily
Largely, the bias against our woman’s crazy
Stop it, what we should do, should do, ay!

[Verse 2: Roth B The Maverick]
Why does a woman, fight for her gender equality?
Varying motives, no agenda equality
For one, she's against the misogynists
Another was ditched, jilted, and she's been hurting since
Feelings caused a lot of ill response
Righteous anger on the match with the fury of being scorned
Strength in numbers made a case for improvement
But the love for progress brought hate to the movement
Halt! What they raising up, you see, are red flags
Brazilian butt lift, shaping up to be a set back
Would be fucked up to cut short a just cause
Just 'cos your love was crushed up and brushed off
Some just want less consequences for cheating
But some really want a set of better conditions
What's good for a gander is good for the goose?
When what's good for Amanda, na cruise for Uju

[Bridge: Samflow]
Let’s go for it, we’re all stakeholders in this
It got to be, cannot run away from it
What is good for him should be also good for her
Gotta find a way to get that, gotta find that way together

[Hook: Samflow]
Let’s get started, prejudice against our women’s crazy
Sadly, we all see examples of it daily
Largely, the bias against our woman’s crazy
Stop it, what we should do, should do, ay!

[Outro: Roth B The Maverick]
In this sense, equality is not mathematical
But no one is greater than, no one is less than
We are all equal to
You and I, she and he, we and them
We are one team, though we play different sides of the pitch, different positions
We are one team, never forget that
Be your brother's keeper but also your sister's defender
We are all equal to. Love
