Lyrics & Translation
Selfish! Do as I please! As my heart desires
Who decided that women are women and men are men to play around?
I can do anything that I want to
Carrying the weight of freedom on my back
Ain't nobody, nobody can be like me
Overcome, swallowed, broken
I can do anything that I want to
Knowing my own weaknesses
Ain't nobody, nobody can be like me
Stand firm with my own bow and arrow
