[Verse 1]
A
Clothes shootin’ don’t kill no birds

I’m standin’ tall with the rest of the girls
A
Hangin’ on, to my mama’s every word
G D
Gonna’ sing ‘em out loud and conquer the world
G
All them faces on the pictures up there
D
Makes me remember when my table was bare
A
Livin’, at my mama’s house
G D7
Takin’ food, from my family’s mouth...before the money came
[Verse 2]

I was singing R’n’C# back in ‘62

Before you were born and your mama too

I knew David Ruffin when he was hopeless
G D
Sleeping on my floor before he crossed over

All my friends on the Grammy shows

I was stuck in Detroit trying to open doors
A
Record deals kept falling apart
G D7
One with Atlantic nearly broke my heart...before the money came
[Bridge]
C G D7
I got a lot to say
C G D7
So proud I was built this way

Some folks didn’t see my worth

Didn’t know where I fit in

Before the money started rolling in

A
Oh, there was a time when I would call it luck
G D
If I got me a gig for fifty bucks
A
Now I got all these big decisions to make
G D
Never thought success would be hard to take
G
Shoes on my feet, more in the closet
D
Silk on my skin, more if I want it
A
All these years I kept my style
G D7
I wouldn’t cross over, so it took me a while...before the money came
[Bridge]
C G D7
Yo! I got so much to say
C G D7
So damn proud I was built this way
