Testo di ' Golden Age ' di J. Maya

Circe was divine
A tale of pearls before the swine
An empress
A brilliant sorceress
And then the lover scorned
And that's how the story's told

Hold the rest, they stole the magic (they stole the magic)
And Sita's archetype
The perfect image of a wife
Did we ignore, the fire in her soul?

Remember Amy's plea
I know that poets disagree
When it comes to love
Do we even have control?

They think they know us
Because they wrote the history books

Here's to the woman (woman)
Who don't ever seem to get a say
In how their pages get portrayed

Here's to the woman (woman)
Who know everything the poets say
And be a menace anyway

The historians who looked away
The game was set before it played
We're breaking out behind the cage
'Cause that's some shit that we won't take

The women
Who wrote the stories in the roads they paved
We're bringing back their golden age
This is our golden age

A pretty penny prize
Without a thought behind the eyes
Don't get a say
It's in our DNA (it's in the DNA)

'Cause they refuse to see beyond commodities
We can be sweet with a vicious streak
Call that dichotomy

They think they own us
But now we're taking back the history books (ah-ah)

Here's to the woman (woman)
Who don't ever seem to get a say
In how their pages get portrayed (portrayed)

Here's to the woman (woman)
Who know everything the poets say
And be a menace anyway (yeah)

The historians who looked away
The game was set before it played
We're breaking out behind the cage
'Cause that's some shit that we won't take

The woman
Who wrote stories in the roads they paved
We're bringing back their golden age (oh)

Queens wear more than just their crowns
They keep castles from crumbling down
Yeah, you can't keep us on the ground
We're coming for your kingdom now

Queens wear more than just their crowns (crowns)
They keep castles from crumbling down (crumbling down)
Yeah, you can't keep us on the ground (on the ground)
We're coming for your kingdom now
