Lady Z Strikes Back (Can't Stop You) [feat. Brandy]

I still have dreams of being on top

But I'm from where bottom is

I'm really the mother of this and I even gotta kid

Yeah I bag groceries and I ain't really proud of it

But I chose silence over violence and that was the consequence

Ain't wanna get into it, that's why I got out of it

I got a pile of talent but the game is all politics

I don't honor it

I'm positive 'bout what the problem is

The music biz is ran by some narcissistic misogynists

And I'm the opposite, very low tolerance

I been spurrin' these girls since the 90s, Gregg Popovich

If I'm all 'bout my biz then they say that I'ma bitch

I would tell what you did but I'm really not a snitch

It's obvious who the queen and who the coward is

It's no stopping this

See my tone is really ominous, dominant

Put you where the garbage is

Hit you where ya wallet is, your pockets is

And I ain't with the talkin' so

'Cause I don't give a damn what they say

'Cause I see you for who you are

Taking your place upon the throne

I need you to see it because I believe it

'Cause if they only knew

All of the things that we been through

They don't want you to win

But they can't stop you from winning (Nah-nah)

They, they can't stop me (Nah-nah)

They, they can't stop me (Nah-nah)

They, they can't stop (But they can't stop you from winning, nah-nah)

Now, now, now, now there's some issues with the industry

It's official, it isn't me

I seen the lies and realized how they depicted me

Was all a facade, a mirage, a mystery

Now, it's time for her story to change history

Explicit sent for me, I had an epiphany

I could see it vividly, me having the victory

Twenty years later, still keeping the same energy

And if it's meant to be, I'll get what is meant for me

Can't mention female rap and don't mention me

Over charge for the Cold Crush and what they did to me

Was livin' in infamy, I'm a woman of dignity

Hold the torch for all my girls, Lady Liberty

Now I'm a different Z, y'all don't exist to me

Mentally, emotionally and physically

Only goofy I'll ever watch is on Disney

And I don't give a damn what they say, ain't even listenin'

'Cause I don't give a damn what they say

'Cause I see you for who you are

Taking your place upon the throne

I need you to see it because I believe it

'Cause if they only knew

All of the things that we been through

They don't want you to win

But they can't stop you from winning (Nah-nah)

They, they can't stop me (Nah nah)

They, they can't stop me (Nah-nah)

They, they can't stop (But they can't stop you from winning, nah-nah)
