V5.5

Chorus
Woman as boss, no body loss,
Yet they quick to raise the cross.
Woman as boss, no body loss,
Still they want to count the cost.
When woman lead they bawl, “Resign!”
But man does stall and buy more time.
Woman as boss, no body loss,
Steady hand beat empty noise.

Hook / chant
No body loss, no body loss,
Woman in charge, no body loss.
No body loss, no body loss,
Plenty loud talk, but no body loss.

Full tightened set

Verse 1
When tings go wrong they quick to shout,
“Resign, resign,” in one sharp line,
But when a man get catch in folly,
They say he only need more time.
Man does stand up through smoke and scandal,
Still get room to twist and spin,
But woman get judge from the first stumble,
Before the facts could even begin.

Verse 2
They watching every move she making,
Marking every word she say,
One little slip become a crisis,
Like the whole world gone astray.
But let a man confuse the whole thing,
From start to finish, line by line,
They call it pressure, call it burden,
And tell the crowd, “Just give him time.”

Chorus

Verse 3
Woman as boss must smile through fire,
Cool and calm in every scene,
Carry the load and take the licking,
And still come out spotless and clean.
But some men rule with noise and bluster,
Bacchanal and back-room spin,
Yet they still get shield and cover,
Before the judgement could begin.

Bridge
So doh be fooled by double standards,
Doh let the old hypocrisy win,
Same offence does get judged different,
Depending who the face is in.
If strength is strength then call it fairly,
If wrong is wrong then draw the line,
But doh demand the woman vanish,
While man get chance after chance in time.

Final Chorus
Woman as boss, no body loss,
Yet they quick to raise the cross.
Woman as boss, no body loss,
Still they want to count the cost.
When woman lead they bawl, “Resign!”
But man does stall and buy more time.
Woman as boss, no body loss,
Steady hand beat empty noise.

A woman in charge does not mean confusion, collapse or calamity. No bloodbath, no breakdown, no body loss. Just order, discipline, judgement, and work. So all the trembling, whispering and performative outrage says more about the critics than the woman at the centre of it. Woman as boss, no body loss, Plenty man vex, but look de cost. She hold de line, she pay de price, And still they want to roll de dice. Woman as boss, no body loss, Steady hand beat empty noise. They frighten for petticoat in office, As if order go mash up de place, But all she do is mind de business, And put confusion in its place. Verse When tings go wrong they fast to holler, “Madam, pack yuh bag, resign!” But when a man drop plenty drama, They say, “Well, give him little time.” Man does stand up through storm and scandal, Bruised in office, still hold rank, But woman must walk some thinner angle, And answer twice for every plank.
