Lyrics
Verse 1: We've been holdin' back
Nearly bit through our tongues
We've been breathin' deep
While you step on our lungs
This country is more than just fathers and sons
Chorus: For hundreds of years, it's been reigning men
Need a woman whose patience is razor thin
For the men who come at her to rein her in
Let her reign (x3)
Verse 2: A queen with no king
Is more powerful
She won't take second seat
'Cuz she's second to none
She'll remember your past, boys, it can't be outrun
Chorus
Bridge: Time to, break through (all that glass)
We need brand new, you spew (all that flack)
Gave us hoops to, jump through (held us back)
Let her reign
Let her reign
Chorus
Let her reign
