Turn around

[Spoken Intro] So you thought I was scared? You thought I’d keep my mouth shut, keep my head down, and take whatever the hell you threw at me? Well, honey… You fucked up. Big time. [Verse 1] You walked through that door like you owned this place Same damn anger written all over your face You’d been pushing me around for way too long Thinking I was just another weak-ass woman you could stomp on You liked hearing me cry Liked watching me break Thought every damn piece of me Was yours to take Well, guess what, asshole? Today’s your lucky day… I’m finally wide awake. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got a temper you should’ve seen I’ve got a line, and you crossed that thing You kept pushing, kept acting tough Well, baby, you finally pushed enough [Chorus] You thought you could break me Thought I’d stay down Thought you could beat me And I’d never make a sound You thought I was helpless Thought I was yours Well, look at me now Standing right at the door You wanted a woman You could scare and control? Well, congratulations, motherfucker… You just woke up my soul. [Verse 2] You came at me screaming Like you always did I saw that same old rage That scared the hell outta me as a kid But this time I didn’t run This time I didn’t cry I reached underneath my dress And watched that tough-ass attitude die I pulled out my shotgun And held it steady as hell You stopped dead in your tracks Like suddenly you remembered You don’t know me that well [Pre-Chorus] You looked at that barrel Then looked at me Said, “You ain’t got the guts To do what you’re threatening me” I smiled real slow And said, “Wanna bet?” You should’ve learned by now… Don’t ever corner a woman Who’s got nothing left to lose. [Chorus] You thought you could break me Thought I’d stay down Thought every woman you hurt Would never make a sound You thought I was helpless Thought I was alone But there’s something behind me That you don’t fuckin’ know You wanted to see How far I could go? Keep looking, asshole… You’re about to know. [Verse 3] You said, “You ain’t got the guts To put me down!” I said, “We’re fuckin’ done.” You said, “Is that so?” I said, “Yeah…” I’m sure. Then you looked over my shoulder And suddenly you couldn’t speak That big tough bastard Looked like he’d seen a ghost And damn right… You did. [Bridge] There they stood… Every woman you hurt. Every woman you silenced. Every woman you thought Nobody would remember. They were standing behind me. And they weren’t crying anymore. They weren’t afraid anymore. They were pissed. And honey… So was I. [Verse 4] You backed up slowly Said, “What the hell is this?” I said, “Recognize somebody?” You looked from face to face And started losing your shit Every woman you’d buried Every name you’d erased Was standing in that room And staring straight through your face You spent your whole damn life Thinking you could get away But every debt comes due… And tonight’s your fuckin’ payday. [Chorus] You thought you could break us Thought we’d stay down Thought you could hurt us And nobody’d make a sound But we’re standing here together And we’re done playing nice You don’t get to take our lives Then walk away twice You wanted power You wanted control Well, look who’s surrounded now… By every fucking soul. [Verse 5] I lowered that shotgun And watched you turn pale For once in your life You finally knew what it felt like to fail You looked at me Like I was the one you feared I said, “No, sweetheart…” You should be looking behind me. [Final Chorus] You thought I was alone You thought I was weak You thought all those women Would never get to speak But they’re standing behind me And they’re standing tall Every woman you hurt Every woman you made small You don’t scare me anymore You don’t own me anymore And every ghost behind me Knows exactly what you’re here for You wanted to fuck with women? Well… You picked the wrong damn night. [Spoken Outro] You asked me if I had any sins to confess. Hell… Maybe I do. But yours? Yours are standing right behind me. So go ahead… Turn around. I think they wanna talk.
