[00:02.02]Do you know what when I sing this song it's deep yeah
[00:04.87]When I heard the statistic
[00:06.31]I actually ******* broke down in tears
[00:08.51]Because the stat is that one in four men men and women
[00:14.36]Will experience this in their lifetime
[00:16.73]And in a beautiful sold-out Royal Albert Hall
[00:18.64]There's a quarter of you here tonight
[00:21.84]So I know I'm not alone when I sing this and yeah
[00:30.15]If you can relate to this
[00:31.24]I'm so ******* sorry from the bottom of my heart
[00:33.88]And I'ma sing for you right now with my whole heart
[00:37.28]With my belly out and everything
[00:41.74]And I wanted to do it like this
[00:44.48]Because that's how it ******* feels when I sing it
[00:46.44]I feel naked as ****
[00:52.24]Alright Tom I'm ready mmh
[01:00.96]So this producer hit me up on the DM
[01:04.85]He told me "Hey I really like what you are doing"
[01:08.35]He told me "Come 'round to the studio let's cook it"
[01:11.93]He told me "Come to catch a vibe we'll make some music"
[01:15.729996]But when I got there should've heard what he was saying
[01:19.33]Tryna touch me tryna **** me I'm not playing
[01:22.94]I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it
[01:26.35]How Goddamn dare you do that to me really
[01:31.74]Coming like the ice cream man
[01:35.119995]Till I felt his ice-cold hands
[01:38.64]And how I pay the price now damn
[01:44.95]Everything you did it left me in a ruin
[01:48.25]And no I didn't say a word I guess that proves it
[01:51.92]I'm a woman mhh yes
[01:59.259995]'Cause I'm a woman
[02:01.47]A very ******* brave strong woman
[02:04.53]And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
[02:08.36]How I walk how I talk how I do it
[02:11.74]Man I've been broken for a moment
[02:14.07]I've been through it no
[02:15.61]It's even harder to be brave alone
[02:19.11]I was a girl now I'm grown I'm a woman
[02:23.89]A very ******* strong woman
[02:28.45]And I was seven
[02:30.36]Was twenty one was seventeen and was eleven
[02:33.58]It took a while to understand what my consent means
[02:37.2]If I was ruthless they'd be in the penitentiary
[02:40.88]But all the stress of being honest wouldn't help me
[02:44.6]I pushed it down but it was livin' in me rent-free
[02:48.08]And then I fell into some things that were unhealthy
[02:51.98]A place where no one heard me asking them to help me
[02:56.20999]But I needed help I did
[02:58.85]Coming like the ice cream man
[03:02.44]Till I felt his ice-cold hands
[03:05.92]And how I pay the price now damn
[03:11.9]See everything you did it left me in a ruin
[03:15.6]And no I didn't say a word I guess that proves it
[03:18.93]I'm a woman
[03:26.51]'Cause I'm a woman
[03:28.89]A very ******* brave strong woman
[03:32.02]And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
[03:35.91]How I walk how I talk how I do it
[03:39.11]Man I've been broken for a moment
[03:41.04001]I've been through it no
[03:43.17]It's even harder to be brave alone
[03:46.38]I was a girl now I'm grown I'm a woman
[03:56.47]I wish I could say how I feel how I felt
[03:59.86]And explain why I'm silently blaming myself
[04:03.21]'Cause I put on these faces pretending I'm fine
[04:06.39]Then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind in my head
[04:11.44]Always going round and round in my head
[04:15.25]Your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin
[04:18.84]You made me frame myself for your sin
[04:21.95]You pathetic dead excuse of a man
[04:36.36]You see I'm a very ******* brave strong woman
[04:45.18]Sometimes I need to remind myself I am
[05:04.75]You see
[05:36.35]And I'll be damned if I let a men ruin oh
[05:45.18]'Cause I'm a very ******* brave strong woman thank you
