[Verse 1] I woke up with fire in my chest Not begging for space, I earn respect Heard the doubt, let it pass like rain Now I wear my scars like a gold chain Mama said, “Girl, keep your head high” Even when they try to dim your light I been through the storm, I learned to stand Now I build my world with my own two hands [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it now The room get louder when I walk through Oh, they can’t hold me down I was made for more than they thought to [Chorus] Women of great expectations We rise, we rise, we rise Women of great expectations Look in our eyes, see the prize Women of great expectations We don’t break, we multiply Women of great expectations We shine, we shine, we shine [Verse 2] I got dreams in my blouse and grace in my walk A million small wins in the way I talk They want the crown, but I made the throne From every hard no, I built my home If I bend, I bounce back harder If I fall, I come back sharper Nothing in me wants to stay small I was born to stand tall [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it now The room get louder when I walk through Oh, they can’t hold me down I was made for more than they thought to [Chorus] Women of great expectations We rise, we rise, we rise Women of great expectations Look in our eyes, see the prize Women of great expectations We don’t break, we multiply Women of great expectations We shine, we shine, we shine [Bridge] Tell them I’m ready Tell them I’m here Heart like a drum And the vision is clear No shrinking now No looking back I carry the future On my back [Chorus] Women of great expectations We rise, we rise, we rise Women of great expectations Look in our eyes, see the prize Women of great expectations We don’t break, we multiply Women of great expectations We shine, we shine, we shine
