Rings

In the beginning 

He was formless and empty 

Darkness was hovering 

And man was tempting 

Hands pressed together 

He was holy and gray 

And when he dipped his fingers in color 


Everybody said 

You can’t accessorize, 

And men don’t empathize 

And he believed it all 

For thirty straight years 


But I wear rings now 

Grew my wings out 

Nails are done 

Fresh and young 

Blow my hair out (wow!) 

Take up space now 

In your face now 

Anybody got (whoo!) 

To say about it (whoo!) 

Just come and kiss my aahhhh 


I’m on my Shang-Chi shit 

Feeling this power drip 

Hid my heart up my sleeve 

And now that’s my fit 

Grabbed the king’s crown, I 

Write my script now, I 

Turned the pain into gold 

I wear rings now 


God forbid I wear a dress 

God forbid that I look sexy 

In pink, or yellow 

Or every fucking color of the rainbow

I won’t apologize 

For being so divine 

These hands are the first of their kind 


I wear rings now 

Grew my wings out 

Nails are done 

Fresh and young 

Blow my hair out (wow!) 

Take up space now 

In your face now 

Anybody got (whoo!) 

To say about it (whoo!) 

Just come and kiss my aahhhh 


I’m on my Shang-Chi shit 

Feeling this power drip 

Hid my heart up my sleeve 

And now that’s my fit 

Grabbed the king’s crown, I 

Write my script now, I 

Turned your swords into gold I wear rings now 


I wear my rings now 

I paint my nails now 

Come check this bling out 

I wear my rings now 

I paint my nails now 

I turned the pain into gold 

I wear rings now
