The Day Women Took Over - Common, BJ The Chicago Kid

There’s something 'bout this day that seem good to me

When niggas 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 of the Chi 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 and 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 on 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

Oh, when women take over the world

Oh, every man, woman, boy and girl

Oh, maybe one day, we will see

Peace and unity the way it’s meant to be

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 prey

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, Sojourner’s truth is marchin' on

Women preachers and world leaders, it now the norm

Healthcare, payin' for nails, jails and fill-ins

Intellectual buildin', intersexual 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 bitches 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 compassionate

The balance of the feminine and masculine, I’m askin' if

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
