"Lady Justice" lyrics
I look down at my grocery cart
Filled with Plan B, books, and mace
Placing bets on which one
I'll use first to keep me safe
You prop your right hand on your heart
To swear so solemnly
If it's your word against mine
They'll wipe your record clean
Oh, clean
Now I'm crying at my coffee shop, I break down at the gym
Screaming at my windshield all the hurt that I held in
Nothing in this world could ever undo what you did
'Cause I'm the living proof, that when you
Strip away my choice
Sentence me to silence
Vilify my voice
Threaten me with violence
Rig the system
Twist it in your favor
When you made me a victim
Was when I became her
Lady Justice
Lady Justice
Just 'cause you got off guilt-free
Doesn't prove your innocence
I'll deliver retribution
You'll suffer for your sins
I'll ensure that history told
It won't erase the truth
So girls like me in 90 years
Won't face what I went through
Fuck you
'Cause I'm shaking at the crosswalk, oh I flinch at every sound
Keys between my knuckles, even when no one's around
Nothing in this world will stop me from taking you down
'Cause I'm the living proof, that when you
Strip away my choice
Sentence me to silence
Vilify my voice
Threaten me with violence
Rig the system
Twist it in your favor
When you made me a victim
Was when I became her
Lady Justice
Lady Justice
My tears don't make me weak
They open the floodgates so I can see
I am not the only one
Who's been told that it's safer to hold my tongue
But you started this war
So if screaming and swords
Are how I prevail
Tip back the scales
Then I will until the very day that I die
You'll meet Lady Justice, I always survive
Strip away my choice
Sentence me to silence
Vilify my voice
Threaten me with violence
Rig the system
Twist it in your favor
When you made me a victim
Was when I became her
Lady Justice
Lady Justice
Lady Justice
Lady Justice
Filled with Plan B, books, and mace
Placing bets on which one
I'll use first to keep me safe
You prop your right hand on your heart
To swear so solemnly
If it's your word against mine
They'll wipe your record clean
Oh, clean
Now I'm crying at my coffee shop, I break down at the gym
Screaming at my windshield all the hurt that I held in
Nothing in this world could ever undo what you did
'Cause I'm the living proof, that when you
Strip away my choice
Sentence me to silence
Vilify my voice
Threaten me with violence
Rig the system
Twist it in your favor
When you made me a victim
Was when I became her
Lady Justice
Lady Justice
Just 'cause you got off guilt-free
Doesn't prove your innocence
I'll deliver retribution
You'll suffer for your sins
I'll ensure that history told
It won't erase the truth
So girls like me in 90 years
Won't face what I went through
Fuck you
'Cause I'm shaking at the crosswalk, oh I flinch at every sound
Keys between my knuckles, even when no one's around
Nothing in this world will stop me from taking you down
'Cause I'm the living proof, that when you

Vilify my voice
Threaten me with violence
Rig the system

Lady Justice
Lady Justice
Lady Justice
