sasha allen - stay and fight (cleopatra) lyrics
[verse 1]
it’s interesting what’s come down through the ages
to the victor goes all the spoils
and though history books flip the pages
there’s nothing written of the toils
well, here’s a lesson from this double x
silenced through time because of my s+x
i’ve often been called a snake and a witch
what’s that? did you just call me a b+tch?
[pre+chorus]
i am not gonna sit down, not gonna back down
not gonna be polite
i am not gonna calm down, not gonna lay down
or comfort you through the night
i am not gonna stand down, not gonna shut down
or run away in fright
[chorus]
i’m gonna stay and fight
i’m gonna stay
[verse 2]
i built a fleet of ships and you came calling
had a library, a lighthouse, while you kept brawling
a philosopher, physician, a scientist and scholar
while you spent your time k!lling each other
yeah, i loved two men who left scars and more
convenient, then, to brand me a wh0re
but one was my teacher, the other, my heart
and in my world i call that love, art
[pre+chorus]
i am not gonna sit down, not gonna back down
not gonna be polite
i am not gonna calm down, not gonna lay down
or comfort you through the night
i am not gonna stand down, not gonna shut down
or run away in fright
[chorus]
i’m gonna stay and fight
i’m gonna stay
[verse 3]
and that cowardly twit, a self+claimed augustus
derided my soul as the worst amongst us
took down my statue and put out the flame
in the temple of venus to bring on my shame
here i sit and watch the worm
lying and smiling and making me squirm
blood coming out of wherever he said
but for him, i will never lay down and play dead
[pre+chorus]
i am not gonna sit down, not gonna back down
not gonna be polite
i am not gonna calm down, not gonna lay down
or comfort you through the night
i am not gonna stand down, not gonna shut down
or run away in fright
[chorus]
i’m gonna stay and fight
[bridge]
she will rise with diamonds between her thighs
eyes bright, heart afire, mind alight, soul inspired
and she will say with unmitigated glee
i’m coming for you boys with all my nasty
[pre+chorus]
i am not gonna sit down, not gonna back down
not gonna be polite
i am not gonna calm down, not gonna lay down
or comfort you through the night
i am not gonna stand down, not gonna shut down
or run away in fright
[chorus]
i’m gonna stay
i’m gonna stay
i’m gonna stay and fight
