Mama said “get yo’ ass out of bed!”
I said “hell to the no!”
Said “wash your grandma’s nasty hair!”
I said “hell to the no!”, oh
They tried to take away my tots
I said “hell to the no!”
Yeah, ’cause I’m the one that calls the shots
and I say “hell to the no!”, oh
Try to make me change my weave
Well I got something up my sleeve
It’s a whole lot of
Woah oh oh, oh oh
Hell to the no no, no no, no no, no no
I said Woah oh oh, oh oh
Hell to the no no, no no, no no, no no
I’m not tryin’ to diva out
But this show’s gotta stop, so shout
Woah oh oh, oh oh
Hell to the no no, no no, no no, no no
Tell me I should eat my Wheaties
You know what? “hell to the no!”
Tell me I’d come down with diabetes
“hell to the no!”
Try to make me change my eats
But baby, that just isn’t me
I’m a whole lot of
Woah oh oh, oh oh
Hell to the no no, no no, no no, no no
I said Woah oh oh, oh oh
Hell to the no no, no no, no no, no no
I’m not tryin’ to diva out
But this show’s gotta stop, so shout
Woah oh oh, oh oh
Hell to the no no, no no, no no, no no
Take me, you can leave me
But I won’t ever change
If you don’t like the rules
don’t play my game
Time for me to get R-E-S-P-E-C-T
But if i don’t, it’s all in me
Woah oh oh, oh oh
Hell to the no no, no no, no no, no no
I said Woah oh oh, oh oh
Hell to the no no, no no, no no, no no
