Mary
D.B.A Lyrics

Hail Mary
Starting with a prayer to the Virgin Mary

Full of grace
Acknowledging Mary as a holy and blessed figure

The lord is with thee
Recognizing God's presence with Mary

Blessed art thou
Honoring Mary's divine blessings

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus
Recognizing Jesus as her son and our savior

Holy Mary
Acknowledging Mary as a holy figure

Mother of God
Recognizing Mary as the mother of Jesus, who is the Son of God

Pray for our sinners now
Asking Mary to intercede on our behalf for forgiveness

And at the hour of our death
Asking Mary to pray for us even at the time of our passing

Amen
Concluding the prayer with agreement

Let women be who they wanna be
Encouraging women to be themselves and not conform to societal expectations

Let them act how they want
Giving women the freedom to act how they feel comfortable

Let them dress as they please
Granting women the freedom to express themselves through their clothing

They know their self-worth
Believing that women are valuable and deserving of respect

Strip down
Promoting women's rights to express themselves however they choose

Show it off
Encouraging women to flaunt their beauty and confidence

Give it all you got
Encouraging women to be bold and proud of who they are

Keep covered
Acknowledging that covering up is also a valid choice

That's cute
Appreciating women's choices even if they differ from traditional expectations

You just do you
Encouraging women to live their lives on their own terms

Oh, mother Mary
Referencing back to the prayer to the Virgin Mary

In all your grace
Recognizing Mary's inherent grace and dignity

The world is scary
Acknowledging the challenges and threats that exist for women

Girls get into place
Noting that women are often told to conform to societal expectations and limitations

You don't have to be faithful
Pushing back against the idea that women must be subservient and obedient

You don't need to agree
Encouraging women to think for themselves and form their own opinions

With the men at the table
Suggesting that men often hold power and influence in society, but women shouldn't be intimidated by them

You're independent and free
Affirming women's autonomy and liberty to make their own choices

You can sit first for dinner
Challenging traditional gender roles and hierarchies within families and relationships

And you can sit wherever you wish
Asserting the right to bodily autonomy and personal preferences

You are allowed to be bitter
Validating women's anger and frustration when confronting injustice

Without being a bitch
Asserting that women's emotions and assertiveness shouldn't be dismissed with derogatory labels

Deserve equal pay for equal work
Advocating for economic equity and fairness for women in the workplace

Deserve better than catcalling
Rejecting misogynistic behavior and harassment directed towards women

Nobody else knows how that hurts
Asserting that only those who experience misogyny firsthand can truly understand its impact

That behavior is appalling
Calling out unacceptable and oppressive behavior towards women

Promise they can do better than you
Challenging men to act with more dignity and respect towards women

They don't need your rules and taboos
Encouraging women to reject patriarchal norms and expectations

Hail Mary (Hail mary)
Repeating the opening prayer to the Virgin Mary

Can you hear me (Can ya hear me)
Asking for Mary's attention and guidance

Told you clearly (Told ya clearly)
Asserting the message of female empowerment and independence throughout the song

Come and save me (Come save me)
Seeking salvation and liberation from oppressive societal expectations

Come quickly (Come quickly)
Urging Mary to intervene and help bring about positive change for women
