Lay Down Girl
Empowerment Anthem: Unveiling the Lay Down Girl's Journey
Lyrics
I could just lay down
I am willing to submit or be vulnerable.
I've always been the lay down girl
I have always been someone who submits or is vulnerable.
But when you turn your back I'm the girl on the tracks
When ignored or dismissed, I become assertive and vocal.
Who's been singing my song all along
I am resilient, continuing to express myself even when not acknowledged.
I could just stay put
I could choose to remain in my current state.
I've always been the stay put girl
I have a tendency to stay in one place or situation.
But when you put everyone before you
Putting others before yourself leaves you without assistance.
You're the only one without help
If you prioritize everyone else, you might find yourself without support.
I've been a fool, a fool
I have made mistakes, possibly in trusting others.
Ain't no-one gonna turn their back when I'm offering a free handout
No one will turn away when I'm offering help.
I'm going back to school, to school
I am returning to learning but focusing on self-improvement.
But this time my education's gonna be bout myself
This time, my education is centered around understanding myself.
Well, someones acting salty cause this isn't what they wanted
Someone is unhappy because their expectations were not met.
Where's the lay down girl
They are looking for someone who submits or is vulnerable.
Not what you expected so you're standing there corrected
Your expectations were wrong, and now you see the truth.
Where's the stay put girl
They are searching for someone who stays in one place.
I could just act sweet
I could act in a pleasant or agreeable manner.
I've always been the act sweet girl
I have a history of behaving in a sweet or agreeable way.
But now I've got this itch
There's an urge or desire within me now.
Cause it's the season of the bitch
This is a time of empowerment or assertiveness.
And by god I'm on top of the world
I feel confident and on top of the world.
I could let you go first
I could let you take the lead or go ahead of me.
I've always been the let go girl
I typically allow others to go first or take precedence.
But now you're anticipating
There is an anticipation or expectation from you.
And I'm doing no more waiting
I am no longer waiting; I am taking action now.
Gonna give this skirt a twirl
I am embracing a new, more expressive way of living.
I've been a fool, a fool
I have made mistakes, possibly in trusting others (repeated).
Ain't no-one gonna turn their back when I'm offering a free handout
No one will turn away when I'm offering help (repeated).
I'm going back to school, to school
I am returning to learning but focusing on self-improvement (repeated).
But this time my education's gonna be bout myself
This time, my education is centered around understanding myself (repeated).
I've been a fool, a fool
I have made mistakes, possibly in trusting others (repeated).
Ain't no-one gonna turn their back when I'm offering a free handout
No one will turn away when I'm offering help (repeated).
I'm going back to school, to school
I am returning to learning but focusing on self-improvement (repeated).
But this time my education's gonna be bout myself
This time, my education is centered around understanding myself (repeated).
