‘Cause I’m a woman phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, that’s me
‘Cause I’m a woman phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, that’s me
I’m gonna tell you what its like to be a woman in today
When you haven’t got five minutes to just down your tools
and play
And you haven’t got the time to write your great raps today
Cause you’re fixin’ lots of crap, everyone’s in your face
So you spit out lots of rhymes, rhyming today and um today
And you know that’s not the best, you know you’re cleverest
But you don’t give a fig no more ‘cause they all take the p*ss
So the choice is sloggin’ on or get the hell out of this
So I’m chuggin and I’m plodding at two hundred miles an
hour
Rappin in New York American, who really gives a damn
‘Cause the critics and the prudes tell you how you gotta do
But they’re the dudes who just stay home got sweet nothin’
to do
And no I’m not sayin’ I’m too busy or I’m busier than you
I’m sayin’ I really, really, really am well busier than you
‘Cause I’m a woman phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, that’s me
‘Cause I’m a woman phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, that’s me
I’m not a phenomenal woman in the words of the great
Maya Angelou
I’m a phenomenal rapper that’s what I wanna do
Don’t care about the swing of my hips or the curve of my lips
I care about the rage in my voice and the gleam on my gold
tooth
Yeah I’m ruthless, uncouthless but I’m not gummy and
toothless
I’m a plumber and a lawyer and a banker, run a multinational
drive a tanker
I clean houses, raise babies but I’m not sayin all guys are lazies
So my home girls say is there a difference between the boys
and the ladeez?
Well I don’t know ‘bout that, we’re just gringos all the
samesies
Yeah I love guys too and I don’t wanna have a go
But I like the guys who walk fast and talk fast and make you
come slow
The ones who build houses, wear trousers and know how to
drive slow
So the monster I’ve created, the sweet Eminemmylou
Says men are phenomenal just like me and you, yeah
‘Cause I’m a woman phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, that’s me
‘Cause I’m a woman phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, that’s me
