Velvet Steel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walk in slow, head high Pearls on my neck, don’t ask why He said, “You sweet,” I said, “Watch me” I pay my bills and I look this lovely My phone on mute, my heels on time I make my own lane, I make my own shine Count my wins in a black bag line Soft on the outside, steel inside [Pre-Chorus] You can look, you can stare I don’t need your hands in my air I’ve been calm, I’ve been kind Now I’m taking back what’s mine [Chorus] Strong woman, strong woman Say it loud, say it loud Strong woman, strong woman I don’t bow, I stand proud Strong woman, strong woman You can’t dim my flame Strong woman, strong woman Remember my name [Verse 2] I laugh with my girls by the corner booth Lip gloss on, and I’m telling the truth They said I’d break, I just got wise Made my own rules with my own eyes I’ve got grit in my walk, grace in my talk Money in my pocket, I don’t need no luck If the door stay shut, I use the wall Baby, I was built to outlast it all [Rap] I’m the one with the plan in my bag A little champagne, a little side cash I’m not your rescue, not your prize I’m the fire in the room when I walk inside No handouts, I earned that crown No need to shrink when I come around Pretty and powerful, that’s my blend I rise again, again, again [Chorus] Strong woman, strong woman Say it loud, say it loud Strong woman, strong woman I don’t bow, I stand proud Strong woman, strong woman You can’t dim my flame Strong woman, strong woman Remember my name [Bridge] If I fall, I fall forward If I cry, I cry harder Then I wipe my face clean And I come back sharper [Final Chorus] Strong woman, strong woman Say it loud, say it loud Strong woman, strong woman I don’t bow, I stand proud Strong woman, strong woman You can’t dim my flame Strong woman, strong woman Remember my name (Strong woman) (Remember my name)
