Lyrics

[Intro]
Shenseea
Fantasia
New Fantasia, baby
Hell yeah
Let's go
[Verse 1]
Girl child ain't safe in a family of mens
Sick and tired how woman still live like a slave
Oh, we better learn how to fight back while we still alive
So all of us girls can beat back that child
[PreChorus]
'Cause when a man just don't give a damn
Hell no
[Chorus]
Yeah, hell, hell no
Woo
No, no, no
[Verse 2]
Girl child ain't safe in a family of mens
Sick and tired how woman still live like a slave
Oh, we better learn how to fight back while we still alive
Still alive
So all of us girls can beat back that child
[PreChorus]
'Cause when a man just don't give a damn
Don't give a damn, no
Hell no
[Chorus]
Yeah, hell, hell no
Shenseea
No, no, no
[Verse 3]
Standin' on business, the Lord is my witness (Yeah)
Livin' life's a flex, this is survival of the fittest (Whoa)
Feel like I been on this road forever, but I still fight
Tunnel vision, focused on the light shinin' real bright
Always find my way through the darkness, this is personal
I am my sister's keeper, that's something for certain
I'll be damned if a man teach me how to be a woman
You gonna respect me no matter what I put on (Yeah)
Never take "no" for an answer (Yeah)
Independence mean no need no sponsor
[PreChorus]
The devil tried to hold me down, him strong, but me stronger
On my way to greatness, so my path takin' longer
No, no, no
[Chorus]
Hell, hell, hell no
I went through it with people who were my own blood (Oh)
Sacrificed myself for many, but it's no love
Yeah, hell, hell no
No love, no love
