These lyrics would bang you over the head because, well, people are stupid. This one has potential, yes, but it’s definitely a first draft. It’s a strong concept, if nothing else.
Know Your Value
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
they say history is a tale of great men
but not to me, baby
history is what happens
women know their value
empires rise and fall
but a woman stands tall
everything’s about money it’s true
but your hip can make a hero
don’t you forget it
know your value
if he loves you he’ll agree
you’re priceless
you’re priceless
you’re priceless
when you were young
you knew the truth
the world was yours
you needed someone to hold it for you
now you’re a woman
and you hold your own
you say you don’t need a man
that you’re the queen of your world
but you’re human and he’s got a nice smile
so before you ditch your fate
remember what you got
everything’s about money it’s true
but your hip can make a hero
don’t you forget it
know your value
if he loves you he’ll agree
you’re priceless
you’re priceless
you’re priceless
[bridge]
mother, sister, daughter, lover
women have it covered
but only if you know your value
when you discover your worth
a woman alone is a tower
but no need to build a mote
if he’s kind and loves you the most
all you have to do is
know your value
know your value
know your value
