Girls
Maxine Ashley Lyrics

Mama, can you please help me?
Asking for help from someone who cares about me and knows me well.

Because I'm not feeling too well
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of myself.

I'm caught up in all of these feelings
Feeling a range of emotions that are hard to sort through and understand.

That I have never felt
These emotions are new and unfamiliar to me.

I don't wanna disappoint you
I care about your opinion and I don't want to let you down.

But I don't know who to tell
I'm struggling to find someone to confide in and share my feelings with.

When I'm looking into the mirror
I'm reflecting on myself and my identity as I try to make sense of my emotions.

I see a reflection myself
I see myself for who I truly am, but I am also unsure of how to navigate that identity.

I don't want to end up by myself (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't want to be alone in my struggles and emotions.

If this is what I want I don't need help
I believe in myself and my ability to figure out what I need on my own.

Girls
Referring to the bond and solidarity between women.

You're all that I
Women are the ones who truly understand me and can support me.

Need
I rely on the strength and support of other women to get through difficult experiences.

The more that I know
As I learn more about myself and other women, I become more empowered and confident.

The more I can see
Through this process of learning, I gain insight into my own experiences and how to navigate them.

Gotta fight for the girls (girls)
We need to work together to support and uplift other women.

Fight for our rights and we changing the world
By standing together and advocating for our rights, we can create positive change in the world.

Together we stronger
Our collective strength is greater than our individual strength.

Beginning to end
Our bond and support for each other is lifelong and unwavering.

A sister, a daughter, a friend
We all have important roles in each other's lives, whether as family or chosen friends.

I stand for my girls
I am committed to advocating for and uplifting other women.

I do it for them
My actions are motivated by my love and support for other women.

Nobody wanna see us together
Society often pits women against each other, rather than promoting solidarity and support.

But it don't matter, no
Despite this societal pressure, we will continue to stand together and support each other.

Because I got you
We can rely on each other for love, support, and understanding.

'Cause I got you
We are there for each other no matter what.

And you got me
We are all in this together and will support each other through anything.
