Fight Like a Woman
Fight Like a Woman: Empowering Anthem Against Stereotypes
Lyrics
They say I’m a woman and for that I must be weak
Challenges the stereotype that being a woman implies weakness.
They say I’m a girl so I should just sit quiet and never speak
Addresses the expectation for girls to remain silent and passive.
They say I’m a loser, for a girl my dreams too big
Rejects the notion that having big dreams makes her a loser.
They praise my abuser; knock me down and start to kick
Expresses frustration at being praised for enduring abuse and mistreatment.
Don’t worry, mother
Assures her mother that she will fight against the challenges.
Your girl is a soldier
Declares herself as a resilient fighter, not succumbing to adversity.
I’ll fight so you won’t cry for me again
Promises to fight to prevent her mother from suffering for her.
Don’t worry, sister
Offers support to her sister, encouraging solidarity.
Right here is my shoulder
Provides her shoulder for her sister to lean on during tough times.
Lean on me and we will change this hand in hand

Cause every woman is a warrior at heart
Highlights the inherent warrior spirit within every woman.
They say I’m a whore if I dare to show my skin
Addresses the judgment women face based on their clothing choices.
They say it’s my fault and I should pay for how they sin
Counters victim-blaming and refuses to accept responsibility for others' sins.
I scream that it’s wrong, they just say is how it’s always been
Protests against the normalization of wrongs and injustice.
But I say, damn, no more, watch us fight and watch us win
Asserts a refusal to accept the status quo and a determination to win.
Don’t worry, mother
