Woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman
Hmm-mm
I ain't never wanted nothing but some respect
And see the love from my eyes be reflected
Never looking for a handout or a check
Just a humble spirit looking for a real connection
Love from the depths of my soul I am giving (yeah)
Loyal to the death with a heart made to listen (yeah)
Open to give and receive, be the air that you breathe
Help you move into a king's position
I don't wanna sit up on this throne by my lonely (never, never)
Wanna ride or die, but not someone to own me (yes)
I should be the fix that you need when the world makes you bleed
"Never leave," is what my mama told me
She's the greatest bestowed to me (greatest)
Made in the image of royalty (yeah)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, ain't nothing like a woman
Woman, woman, woman
From the crown of head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock (strong as a rock), yeah
Ain't nothing like a woman, woman, woman, yeah
You know what?
That Queen gene is mean, and your routine is clean (yeah)
And since a clean serene teen stepping fresh on the scene (yeah)
And once I felt need for a real needs
Gave up every different hottie for a real wisdom body (ooh)
Some be out searching far and long
But now you got me going Gaga, a star is born (yeah)
That royal treatment (oh), you deserve it
You ain't make it easy, but shhh, you made it worth it (uh-huh)
Flattery will get you nowhere, it don't matter
Words without action is just chit chatter
Respect is a must (what?), I ain't with the thugging (come on)
Tricks are for kids, I'm a grown ass woman
I hit the stage (woo), get the paper, I'm a boss (yeah)
Salt going in (what?), Lyte going off (ha)
Hands up if you know your worth (put 'em up, put 'em up)
Stand up 'cause it's ladies first, sis
She's the greatest bestowed to me (yeah)
Made in the image of royalty (royalty)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, ain't nothing like a woman
Woman, woman, woman
From the crown of head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock (strong as a rock), yeah
Ain't nothing like a woman (like a woman), woman, woman (like a woman) (yeah)
Greatest gift God gave was a woman
We raised children when other women couldn't
Well aware of the care that's needed (yeah) for our heirs
And you get out exactly what you put in
Nothing like a big mama, Nana or a aunitea support
Still loving and giving when you coming up short
They believe you can be better and so you show up
Pushing for you to be the best when you decide to grow up (uh)
I been anointed since day one (day one)
My mamas a G and she raised one (raised one)
I'm a queen real life, I don't play one (never that)
I speak my mind, dare you to say something (say something)
When life gets harder, I get smarter, I never give up
You ain't gotta show me love, just get my money up
Don't be mad, I'ma stay lit (yeah), so please don't trip
Keep up or I'ma have to dip and send you back to the sticks
She's the greatest bestowed to me (yeah)
Made in the image of royalty
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, ain't nothing like a woman
Woman, woman, woman (like a woman)
From the crown of head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock (strong as a rock), yeah
Ain't nothing like a woman, woman, woman (like a woman), yeah
Yeah, like a woman
Ain't nothing, ain't nothing like a woman
Strong as a rock and she can't be stopped
It ain't nothing like a grown woman
