They say that a boy
Quickly turn to a man
Throws out all affection
He's to be hardened up all he can
But they they run to their mothers
Wipe the tears from their eyes
She comforts him softly
Whispers words that lead to her own demise
Keep it in, don't you break, don't show no pain
Trust me, no woman will want you that way
Feeling low? be a man, suck it up boy
Let the girls go play with the toys
Power, power
In the palm of your hand
They think power, power
Is just a physical stance
It's not just meant for the man
They say that a woman
Is emotionally out of control
We were bred to be weaker
Need a man to take a strong hold
I'm going to paint you a picture
Because all of the woman I know
They were stronger than any man was
And they dealt with a hell lot more
Keep it in, don't you speak
Don't say a word
Don't you dare make the man feel small
Power, power
In the palm of your hand
They think power, power
Is just a physical stance
But there's power in the way you speak
The way that you control
Your emotions meaning then
That they're not feel to take ahold
There is power in the way you talk
The way you know you can
Power, power
It's not just meant for the man
Man speaks his mind
Confidence is affirmed
A woman does the same
Means she's angry at the world
We're taught to be less
Disrespected and small
Don't you dare dim our voice
We were meant to stand tall
Power, power
In the palm of your hand
They think power, power
Is just a physical stance
But there's power in the way you speak
The way that you control
Your emotions meaning then
That they're not feel to take ahold
There is power in the way you talk
The way you know you can
Power, power
It's not just meant for the man"
