about

‘I Defy’ is pro-woman, pro-choice, pro-equality and pro-doing what the hell you feel like as long as you aren’t hurting anybody.

lyrics

I defied my man
I defied his gods
I defied his commandments
so he took away my innocence
He lay me out real good
took from me
what he needed
I didn’t stand a chance
it was his greed
he was feeding

I’m not gonna be there in the morning
I prefer to mess around
I’m not gonna be there in the morning
because society says i’m allowed

I’m gonna let you behead me
because of what you think you know
I’ll let evil upend us
it’s what you think we owe
the children cry then surrender
for lies that have been foretold
the mothers beg for your mercy
still you silence their souls
You won’t fight to appease me
you want a perfect 10
you fight women with women
so we don’t look like men.

I’m not gonna be there in the morning
I prefer to mess around
I’m not gonna be there in the morning
because society says i’m allowed
