Salt N Pepa - Ain't Nuthin' But a She Thing lyrics

It ain't a man's world (You go, girl!) No more sugar and spice (And everything nice) (repeat) [Hook:] It's a she thing, and it's all in me I could be anything that I want to be Don't consider me a minority Open up your eyes and maybe you'll see It's a she thing, and it's all in me I could be anything that I want to be Don't consider me a minority Ladies help me out if you agree It ain't nuthin' but a she thing (We are proud) It ain't nuthin' but a she thing (Say it loud) It ain't nuthin' but a she thing (On the rise) It ain't nuthin' but a she thing (Better recognize) Now I can bring home the bacon (yeah), fry it in the pan (yeah) Never let you forget that you're a man Cuz I'm a W-O-M-A-N That's what I am, doin' all I can The thing that makes me mad and crazy, upset Got to break my neck just to get my respect Go to work and get paid less than a man When I'm doin' the same damn thing that he can When I'm aggressive then I'm a b**h When I got attitude you call me a witch Treat me like a s**-object (That ain't smooth) Underestimate the mind, oh yeah, you're a fool Weaker s**, yeah, right, that's the joke (ha!) Have you ever been in labor? I don't think so, nope I'm a genuine feminine female thang Can you hang? Ain't nothin' but a she thang [Hook] It ain't nothin' but a she thing (We are proud) It ain't nothin' but a she thing (Say it loud) It ain't nothin' but a she thing (On the rise) It ain't nothin' but a she thing (You better recognize) On the real I'm a female doin' what I feel Put me to the test, yes, I will get ill Sensitive and sweet, yeah, all that good stuff But when it's time to get rough, baby, I'm rough enough Ain't afraid to show how I feel down deep Compa**isionate but don't underestimate me I'm intelligent, wise, complicated being With an instinct to dream and believe in the dreams Family's first before anybody else (believe that) Take care of them before I take care of self I'm a genuine feminine female thang Can you hang? Ain't nothin' but a she thang It ain't nothin' but a she thing (We are proud) It ain't nothin' but a she thing (Say it loud) It ain't nothin' but a she thing (On the rise) It ain't nothin' but a she thing (You better recognize) You got to understand it's a she thang We got the power, yeah, you know the deal So you go, girl (You go, girl!), it ain't no man's world You can do anything (You can do anything), do what you feel Excuse me, hold up...(Pep got the floor!) I'm givin' props to the strong women layin' down the law Taking control of the wrongs in their life (hey) Standing up and turning all the wrongs to the right (ho) I'd like to give a shout out to the mamas out there (Shout it out) Bringing up the babies with the tender loving care You're in charge of the future of the nation Do the right thing, lay the foundation To all the single mothers Salt-N-Pepa said, "Keep your head up" I know it gets hard sometimes but never let up You're a genuine feminine female thang Can you hang? Ain't nothin' but a she thang [Hook] It ain't nothin' but a she thing (We are proud) It ain't nothin' but a she thing (Say it loud) It ain't nothin' but a she thing (On the rise) It ain't nothin' but a she thing (You better recognize) Now let me break it down to the marrow of the bone I'm a female (go!), and I got it goin' on (ya know) Don't be fooled by my S-E-X It ain't that simple, I'm more complex We've come a long way, and, baby, that's a fact Let's keep moving forward, girls, never look back Fight for your rights, stand up and be heard You're just as good as any man, believe that, word [Hook]
