about

This was the first track I'd written for February Album Writing Month. I'd recently seen Buffy when it had been added yo disney plus and was inspired by Faith. As many of us were. I've known women who were strong minded and knew who they were and so I decided to write about them.
It didn't make it onto the album in the end as I wasn't sure about it. I've tinkered with it and now I'm happy with it.

Meet the titular Woman Of Means.

lyrics

Don't like being told what to do
My life choices aren't up to you
Don't get in my way and you won't get hurt
This game we're inside has rules I devised
Cause I'm Five By Five

This ain't a race but if it was I'd move at a pace you'd never keep up
I am The Kill, I am a Fire, I am a woman of Skill
I'm Five By Five

My moral compass points to South
So don't get holier than thou
A quick hesitation gives me elevation
The ground's consecration a brief demonstration
Of the concentration of adrenaline to get me high

This ain't a race because if it was I'd move at a pace you'd never keep up
I've got wicked skills, I can hold my own
I've never needed help to get my shit done
I am not ashamed of what my life is
I won't be constrained
I am not your "Miss"
I am The Kill, I am On Fire,
I am a Woman Of Means
I'm Five By Five
I'm Five By Five
