Cake Lyrics

Don't let anyone
Ever tell you
Who you are
Or can and can't become
So what if it's one in a hundred
Who's to say, you are not that one?
Maybe it's sleepless nights
Eventually you'll get a piece of that patriarchy pie
They'll be tears, drawn out fights

I don't see no reason you can't
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it

I know what it's like in more difficult times
I was treading a line
Between drive and survival
If I could go back, see myself as a child
I'd say, "stick to your guns, girl
In fact, go get that rifle"
They will try to take you down
Men in the middle
Keep the world spinning round
Love this life
Stand your ground

I don't see no reason you can't
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it

There's some light
Think you need it
You look so goddamn defeated
Why'd you feel so cheated?
Best believe it

Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it, babe
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it

Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it, babe
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
Have your cake and eat it
