That's not progressive, come on, women are people not objects Let me explain [Verse 1: MC Lars] Yo, I'm a male feminist; doesn't mean I'm soft Gender equality really gets me off I see you ladies; women in the workplace Up in the voting booth on your 18th birthday Y'all be flying spaceships, y'all be flying planes Y'all be running corporations every single day Men can learn a lot from your hustle and your progress Y'all be up on Wall Street, y'all be up in Congress John Lennon was a feminist, Kurt Cobain too And once upon a time women couldn't vote it's true But Elizabeth Stanton helped make it happen Props to Joan of Arc and Abigail Adams First-wave, second-wave, third-wave, whatever Each generation is only getting better I'm a pro rights, pro choice, pro sex feminist Don't forget polemicist, feel the message when it hits [Hook: MC Lars] Ya I like em, like em, like em, like em Male feminist Ya I love em, love em, love em, love em Male feminist I'm a pro rights, pro choice, pro sex feminist Men can be feminists too, it's true Respect [Verse 2: Mazeman] I'm a pro rights, pro choice, pro sex feminist Men can be feminists too, it's true Sitting with MC Lars, reciting Michelangelo Fame It's books and poems Janice Combs raised Puff Daddy all alone Thank god for her soul I thank God for my mom for keeping me warm when it was cold Dorris Parker was a writer and a critic For such magazines like Vogue She also wrote fiction, you know I got respect for women And your respect shouldn't be different Respect all women Even Rosa Parks had to get time Fighting for equal rights for all Americans Hilary Clinton, yeah she's winning Angelina Jolie, female president She donated more money than the government Thank you women for being my motivation I'm faithful and nothing's going to change this Pro rights, pro choice, pro sex feminist [Hook] [Interlude 1: MC Lars] Shout outs to my mom, it was hard having a child I was upside down inside of her uterus They had to do a caesarian section That's dedication!

Anthony and Betty Friedan Inspired female minds to free the bold man Through race and gender politics of Gloria Steinem It's through books by Bell Hooks full of glorious rhyming Sarah Palin taking on way more than she can manage Alaskan back with politics are really doing damage Even though your famous, you ain't no Tori Amos Setting women back pro life politics are aimless [Interlude 2: MC Lars] I'm not trying to judge anyone's religious backgrounds But if you get pregnant You should decide whether or not you keep the child, Howard! [Hook] [Outro: MC Lars] To all the young ladies out there: You could be president Listen! Unless you're listening in England and your British You could do something else but...
