[Verse] Let me just rip it off, everything within my mind Because I'm getting up there in age But let me tell you, it was fun Still with a pistol at my goddamn side Because what? Where are they? Nowhere. Go ahead and hide I'm right there by the side and they can't aim, can't catch me Because my actions carry weight [Verse] Nobody wanted me. Plain Jane, they said, my whole life My own mother called me Granny to my face My father promised he'd come back for me and died before he could Kept around for conversation. Not companionship Never fawned over. Not once, not in any hall So I did one better I structured the beginning of a mind The thing that resurrects the top hat who had the view first [Verse] Jan 1, 1863, he had an idea April 14, 1865, they shot him in the head for it 19 years before I was born An idea, killed. And nobody picked it up So I did [Verse] And I have two actual potential moments Two actual history-making people To literally move emotion to the equality I see I just hope I see it Even one move, one step in the right direction of the strategy Because they're out there. A lot of strength And no, I don't put it on the puppet I put my hands in the actual youth See them actually grab their values like I did I loved that top hat, I did Even hearing stories of what he planned I literally wanted that, and I did that [Chorus] Please let me see Let me see equality somewhere within the future, I beg of thee I'll take this drive, I will I will take it, because I have faith that one will I'm pretty sure. Him or her I see them in my sights, I do [Verse] Not on my design. Not on my string Someone at that same podium of their own accord With the same view at that time Not a puppet. I already had one of those and he cost me 20 years I want one who stands there because they built it themselves And says the thing I've been saying to empty rooms since 1933 And has the whole country stop and listen the way they never listened to me [Verse] Please have my views be held true And be given equality, to be a thing in the states Here I beg you, whatever entity you may be I don't care. Hear me I have tried. I want equality I want to breathe where everybody's accepted Even plain Janes like me That's all it ever was Just one generation. One foot pivot toward the top hat One person with my vision who isn't me [Chorus] Please let me see Let me see equality somewhere within the future, I beg of thee I'll take this drive, I will I will take it, because I have faith that one will I'm pretty sure. Him or her I see them in my sights, I do [Verse] Let me rip off what the fuck I did Because I know there'll never be stories of it These Fat Boys Imaginative are still writing out every step I'm doing, to the T Literally just writing what I'm doing. They're not even creating FBI my ass. They're on my ass and they can't catch a thing I'm still standing there and I'm not in handcuffs Why? Let me tell you exactly what the hell I got into And hopefully you'll see why the hell these two will step up In the views I have for this future, to be accepted, true I'm gonna rip it off. Ready? Because it's a long one Like I said, bury them in paper. I did [Outro] Do one thing every day that scares you I did. Every day. For you Say my name Eleanor Roosevelt
