Common - The Day Women Took Over lyrics

[Verse 1: Common] There’s something ’bout this day that seem good to me When people I ain’t like is showin’ love to me Good food and the mood and the hood is free Peace and free is the frequency This is the day women took over No longer over your shoulder do you have to look over Imagine, war is now over Mothers get medals for being courageous soldiers On dollars, it’s Michelle Obama, Oprah and Rosa The mayor, the shah is Liz Dozier Hoods feel safer, families feel closer We all drunk in love with no need to be sober Ladies get their hair done, and men, we notice You get high grade Indian weaves, at the lowest Prices, chivalry is no longer lifeless We openin’ doors and pullin’ out chairs again Things are merry, there’s more marryin’ Monthly free doses of Motrin and Valerian For your menstrual, it’s no more minstral shows Depictin’ women as ignorant simple hoes It’s more love songs from the radio Respect for the ladies, you can hear it in the flow Egos aside, for each other we rise Since they done give us a life, the whole world feel alive [Chorus: Bilal] Oh, when women take over the world Oh, every woman, boy and girl Oh, maybe one day, we will see Peace and unity the way it’s meant to be [Verse 2: Common] The day women took over, let it continue Now women get paid as much as men do Dr. Angelou’s lookin’ from Heaven’s window Tellin’ young girls phenomenal woman is in you Body is a temple, men don’t pray Mother earth’s arms around you sayin’ it’s okay Toilet seats down, that’s a no-brainer Monuments in Washington of Fanny Lou Hamer Harriet, a soldier of truth is marchin’ on Women preachers and world leaders, it now the norm Healthcare, payin’ for nails, jails and fill-ins Intellectual buildin’, inters**ual healin’ No stickin’ movers, and no quick shooters After 15 minutes, callin’ you a Uber The New World Order is fathers lovin’ their daughters And baby’s mamas supported and ladies gettin’ courted In court, kids can’t be tried as adults And women, they called B’s because they a boss In all shapes and sizes, beauty is recognized Goddess and queens is what we use to describe Now Michelle Alexander wrote the new constitution Beyoncé made the music for the revolution Imagine it, a world more compa**ionate The malice of the feminine and masculine, I’m askin’ if [Chorus: Bilal] Oh, what if women took over the world Oh, every woman, boy and girl Oh, maybe one day, we will see Peace and unity the way it’s meant to be
