golden age - j. maya lyrics

[verse 1]
circe was divine
a tale of pearls before the swine
an empress, a brilliant sorceress
and then, a 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 the poets disagree
whеn it comes to love, do we еven have control?
[pre*chorus]
they think they know us
because they wrote the history books

[chorus]
here’s to the women (women)
who don’t ever seem to get a say
in how their pages get portrayed
here’s to the women (women)
who know everything the poets say
and be a menace anyway

[post*chorus]
the historians who looked away
the game was set before it played
we’re breaking out behind the cage
’cause that’s some sh*t that we won’t take
the women who wrote stories in the roads they paved
we’re bringing back their golden age
this is our golden age

[verse 2]
a pretty penny prize without a thought behind the eyes
we don’t get a say, it’s in our dna (it’s in our dna)
’cause they refuse to see beyond commodities
we can be sweet with a vicious streak: call that dichotomy
[pre*chorus]
they think they own us
but now we’re taking back the history books

[chorus]
here’s to the women (women)
who don’t ever seem to get a say
in how their pages get portrayed
here’s to the women (women)
who know everything the poets say
and be a menace anyway

[outro]
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
they keep castles from crumbling down
yeah, you can’t keep us on the ground
we’re coming for your kingdom now
