Battling.

Proven Correct

The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm treated like a little girl
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when my back is up against an assuming world
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm talked to like I have low self esteem
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I gaze at you with a face so mean
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when my mind is being challenged by others
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm approached by disrespectful brothers
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm told I have no mind of my own
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm being dumbed down by someone who is grown
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when my elders tell me what to do
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I want to do what I want to do
 
The only time I have to prove myself woman
Is when I'm forced to change my tone
 
The only time I am approached as a woman
Is when I have proven that I am grown.
