In the church where I was raised, all the women hid their hair With what can only be called doilies made of lace They sat beside their husbands and they never spoke a word Cause public prayer was not a woman's place But literally any man was welcome to stand up And for an hour we would listen to them talk So I guess the lesson there was God would only hear a prayer If it came from a person with a cock As a kid those Sunday mornings made me restless, bored, and numb And my Bible was the one way to pass time So I spent the hour in search of stories brimming with suspense And I found Esther, Ruth, and Rahab were sublime Castaways who outwitted and outplayed An immigrant ancestor to the incarnate divine Everyone has a star that lights their way We see our paths by someone else's shine Esther, Ruth, and Rahab, they were mine Every Sunday I would find a brand-new story with a girl Who made some patriarch meet his match They were painted as conniving but it wasn't hard to see That secretly most men just fear the snatch Deborah's military mind brought peace for forty years The Witch of Endor, she saw right through Saul's charade Of course Eve said, F*ck this system, I am chasing after wisdom And Rachel wouldn't let herself be played Jezebel sure gave 'em hell, but she wasn't scared to die If you're with Jael, think twice when you recline The only reason we have Moses is cause Miriam was there To keep his petty ass in line Castaways who outlasted and outplayed An immigrant ancestor to the incarnate divine Everyone has a star that lights their way We see our paths by someone else's shine Esther, Ruth, and Rahab, they were mine When they talk about the heroes of the faith They always mean Elijah, Abraham, or Dave But Esther, Ruth, and Rahab, for me were just as big I wanted to be like them, so I bought myself this wig My church insisted women all be small, submissive, and unseen But their own holy book betrayed that lie Cause in those pages you'll find badass, rebel warriors and queens Prophetesses, witches, whores and wives all causing scenes Every woman in the Scriptures smashed the norms to smithereens So it's a good thing when a girl learns how to fly And that's one truth from the Bible I'll hold onto 'til I die
