[Intro: Shenseea & Missy Elliott]
Shenseea
Fantasia
New Fantasia, baby
Let's go (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1: Fantasia]
Girl child ain't safe in a family of mens
Sick and tired how woman still live like a slave
Oh, we better learn how to fight back while we still alive
So all of us girls can beat back that jive

[Pre-Chorus: Fantasia]
'Cause when a man just don't give a damn
Hell no

[Chorus: Fantasia, Missy Elliott & Shenseea]
Hell, hell, hell no (Woo)
No, no, no

[Verse 1: Fantasia, Fantasia & Shenseea & Shenseea]
Girl child ain't safe in a family of mens
Sick and tired how woman still live like a slave
Oh, we better learn how to fight back while we still alive (Still alive)
So all of us girls can beat back that jivе

[Pre-Chorus: Fantasia & Shenseea]
'Cause when a man just don't give a damn (Don't givе a damn, no)
Hell no

[Chorus: Fantasia, Missy Elliott & Shenseea]
Hell, hell, hell no (Shenseea)
No, no, no

[Verse 2: Shenseea]
Standin' on business, the Lord is my witness (Yeah)
Livin' life's a flex, this is survival of the fittest (Woah)
Feel like I been on this road forever, but I still fight
Tunnel vision, focused on the light shinin' real bright
Always find my way through the darkness, this is personal
I am my sister's keeper, that's something for certain
I'll be damned if a man teach me how to be a woman
You gonna respect me no matter what I put on (Yeah)
Never take "no" for an answer (Yeah)
Independence mean no need no sponsor

[Pre-Chorus: Shenseea]
The Devil tried to hold me down, him strong, but me stronger
On my way to greatness, so my path takin' longer (No, no, no)

[Chorus: Fantasia & Shenseea]
Hell, hell, hell no
I went through it with people who were my own blood (Oh)
Sacrified myself for many, but it's no love (Mm)
Hell, hell (No love), hell no (No love)
