I don't need anyone's permission to think that I'm gold
I don't need anyone's well wishing, or to do what I'm told
And if I tried to get to heaven, I'd find myself back home
Playing music in my kitchen, wearing nothing but my robe

God the mother loves me, (loves me)
She tells me every night
My own mother told me (told me)
To try and keep an open mind

A woman can do whatever she wants to
But I just wanna live my life
Without looking

Over my shoulder, over my shoulder

God the sister holds me, she shines her light upon my face (shine)
My own sister showed me, we're not alone here in this place
Feet planted down with my toes in the ground
Baby girl, go head and take up space
Without looking

Over my shoulder, over my shoulder

Nothing but my robe, I'm not looking no, no no no no
