    "I Got The Power" Lyrics

    Don’t tell me how I should look
    Or what I should wear
    I set my trends on my own
    Don’t need you there

    You’re criticising my size
    But don’t bother
    F*** all your stereotypes
    Every woman is a fashion model

    I love that face I see in the mirror
    No lies, no fakes, think of something bigger
    I decide what is right, my rules, my life
    And I’m gonna stay that way, baby if you’re with me say…

    Bomb bomb
    Say I’ve got the power
    I got the power

    Since I was young I was proud of who I am
    I walk the streets through the crowd like a goddess

    I’m sure that I should live my life as I like it
    F*** all your stereotypes
    Every woman is a fashion model

    I love that face I see in the mirror
    No lies, no fakes, think of something bigger
    I decide what is right, my rules, my life
    And I’m gonna stay that way, baby if you’re with me say…

    Bomb bomb
    Say I got the power
    I got the power

    I got the power
    You got the power
    Show me what you’ve got
    Cos you’ve got the power
    I got the power
    You got the power
    Show me what you’ve got
    Cos you’ve got the power

    I love that face I see in the mirror
    (I got the power)
    I decide what is right, my rules, my life
    And I’m gonna stay that way, baby if you’re with me say…

    Bomb bomb
    Say I got the power
    I got the power
    Say I got the, I got the, I got the power
    I got the power
