Salt N Pepa - Ain't Nuthin' But A She Thing lyrics

rate me

It ain't a man's world (You go, girl!)

No more sugar and spice (And everything nice)

[repeat]

[CHORUS]

It's a she thing, and it's all in me (It ain't nothin' but a she

thing,

I could be anything that I want to be baby

Don't consider me a minority Yeah, you know

Open up your eyes and maybe you'll see It's a she thing

It's a she thing, and it's all in me Strong, innocent, and

I could be anything that I want to be Intelligent lady

Don't consider me a minority Proud of who I am

Ladies help me out if you agree It's a she thing)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (We are proud)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (Say it loud)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (On the rise)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (Better recognize)

Now I can bring home the bacon (yeah), fry it in the pan (yeah)

Never let you forget that you're a man

Cuz I'm a W-O-M-A-N

That's what I am, doin' all I can

The thing that makes me mad and crazy, upset

Got to break my neck just to get my respect

Go to work and get paid less than a man

When I'm doin' the same damn thing that he can

When I'm aggressive then I'm a bitch

When I got attitude you call me a witch

Treat me like a sex-object (That ain't smooth)

Underestimate the mind, oh yeah, you're a fool

Weaker sex, yeah, right, that's the joke (ha!)

Have you ever been in labor? I don't think so, nope

I'm a genuine feminine female thang

Can you hang? Ain't nothin' but a she thang

[CHORUS]

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (We are proud)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (Say it loud)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (On the rise)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (You better recognize)

On the real I'm a female doin' what I feel

Put me to the test, yes, I will get ill

Sensitive and sweet, yeah, all that good stuff

But when it's time to get rough, baby, I'm rough enough

Ain't afraid to show how I feel down deep

Compassisionate but don't underestimate me

I'm intelligent, wise, complicated being

With an instinct to dream and believe in the dreams

Family's first before anybody else (believe that)

Take care of them before I take care of self

I'm a genuine feminine female thang

Can you hang? Ain't nothin' but a she thang

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (We are proud)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (Say it loud)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (On the rise)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (You better recognize)

You got to understand it's a she thang

We got the power, yeah, you know the deal

So you go, girl (You go, girl!), it ain't no man's world

You can do anything (You can do anything), do what you feel

Excuse me, hold up...(Pep got the floor!)

I'm givin' props to the strong women layin' down the law

Taking control of the wrongs in their life (hey)

Standing up and turning all the wrongs to the right (ho)

I'd like to give a shout out to the mamas out there (Shout it out)

Bringing up the babies with the tender loving care

You're in charge of the future of the nation

Do the right thing, lay the foundation

To all the single mothers Salt-N-Pepa said, "Keep your head up"

I know it gets hard sometimes but never let up

You're a genuine feminine female thang

Can you hang? Ain't nothin' but a she thang

[CHORUS]

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (We are proud)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (Say it loud)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (On the rise)

It ain't nothin' but a she thing (You better recognize)

Now let me break it down to the marrow of the bone

I'm a female (go!), and I got it goin' on (ya know)

Don't be fooled by my S-E-X

It ain't that simple, I'm more complex

We've come a long way, and, baby, that's a fact

Let's keep moving forward, girls, never look back

Fight for your rights, stand up and be heard

You're just as good as any man, believe that, word

[CHORUS]
