     C#m            B            G#m
I suppose I should tell you what this bitch is
  A
thinking
       C#m              B        G#m         A
You'll find me in the studio and not in the kitchen
            C#m               B       G#m
I won't be bragging 'bout my cars or talking 'bout
my
    A
chains
      C#m              B                 G#m
Don't need to shake my ass for you 'cause I've got a
  A
brain

If I told you 'bout my sex life,
you'd call me a slut
When boys be talking 'bout their bitches,
no one's making a fuss
There's a glass ceiling to break, uh-huh,
there's money to make
And now it's time to speed it up 'cause
I can't move at this pace

C#m             E                B        A
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
C#m       E                B   A
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
C#m           E               B        A
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
      C#m         B
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here...

Chorus:
      C#m
for a bitch
      B           G#m          A
It's hard, for a bitch (for a bitch)
      C#m          B
For a bitch, it's hard
     G#m       A    B     C#m
It's hard out here for a bitch
      B          G#m           A
It's hard, for a bitch (for a bitch)
       C#m         B
For a bitch, it's hard
      G#m      A  B
It's hard out here

If you're not a size six, then you're
not good-looking
Well, you better be rich or be real
good at cooking
You should probably lose some weight
'Cause we can't see your bones
You should probably fix your face or
you'll end up on your own
Don't you want to have somebody
who objectifies you?
Have you thought about your butt?
Who's gonna tear it in two?
We've never had it so good, uh-huh
We're out of the woods
And if you can't detect the sarcasm,
you've misunderstood

Sometimes, it's hard to find the words to say
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
It's hard, it's hard
It's hard out here for a bitch

Chorus

  C#m       B        G#m    A
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch - x4


Inequality promises that it's here to stay
Always trust the injustice
'cause it's not going away
Inequality promises that it's here to stay
Always trust the injustice,
'cause it's not going away

Sometimes, it's hard to find the words to say
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
It's hard, it's hard
It's hard out here for a bitch

Chorus
