This one right here goes out to all the boys
To all the trickers thinking women aren’t more than toys
To all the ones who think everything is their own choice
I kind of wish sometimes that you could hear your own voice
To think that we sometimes got to sit through all that noise
How it’s drowning out our own and seeps through like poison
How the crown of our accomplishments becomes less than yours
Like “don’t frown, don’t look down, girl - you’ve got all the options”
But butterflies fly around moths and get the wrong attention
We think the things we have in store ain’t even worth attention
And when someone mentions it tensions and it spawns aggressions
Lessons are hardly learned, ‘specially when the teacher’s blind
And any learning yet to come will be a different kind
I think it’s time we look each other in the eye and don’t deny
That images are crucial. Right now, you’re looking at yours (At yours)
Get off your high horse and set for a new course (New course)
Yeah
Can I get it in the morning?
I’m waiting for it hear it calling
Can I get it in the morning? (Morning)
Now, can I get it in the morning?
I’m waiting for it, hear it calling
Can I get it in the morning? (Oh) Yeah
This goes out to all the girls who clutch their thunder
As if someone were out to take it from her and I wonder
Why she thinks that to make it, she has got to steal another
Brothers tease but stick together
Don’t you see we won’t get better
Until we let go of pride and prejudice
Support no matter what it is
And show them that we can do this the same
'Cause if we don’t, we ain’t got no claim to no change
Always talking the other one up, but down on our own name
How else would you have thought anything was ever going to change?
Not through pleading to our Gods, ‘cause they’re all the same
Playing a game like we are, it’s so humane
Brace yourself, embrace your battle wounds and your pains
To keep up
‘Cause we're a bad team down here
We’re passing to the wrong team, I swear
This way we’re never going to win
Or even tie
Every girl should at least try to find the fine she got inside
She ain’t got to hide (Yeah) (Ey)
Now can I get it in the morning? (Yeah)
I’m waiting for it, hear it calling, yeah (Eh, eh, yeah)
Can I get it in the morning?
Can I get it in the morning?
Can I get it in the morning?
Yeah, yeah
I’m waiting for it, hear it calling
Can I get it in the morning?
Freedom, I hear it calling
Can I, can I get it in the morning?
(Can I get it in the morning?)
(Can I get it in the morning?)
(Tell me, get it in the morning, yeah)
