Protesters around the country hit the streets for the 2018 Women’s March, which took place on Saturday (January 20). One of the demonstrators was Common, who spoke at a rally in Park City, Utah and spit a verse in honor of women protesting.
“The New World Order is fathers loving their daughters/ And baby’s mamas supported and ladies gettin’ courted/ In court, kids can’t be tried as adults/ And women, they called bitches because they a boss/ In all shapes and sizes, beauty is recognized/ Goddess and queens is what we use to describe/ Now Michelle Alexander wrote the new constitution/ Beyoncé made the music for the revolution,” he rapped.
Common’s bars come from the second verse of his song “The Day Women Took Over.” The track appears on his 2016 album Black America Again.
The veteran MC’s appearance at the Women’s March was just the start of a busy day, which was capped off with the premiere of his new film, The Tail, at the Sundance Film Festival.
“It was a really good day at Sundance yesterday starting with The Women’s rally and ending with the premiere of #TheTail,” he wrote on Instagram. “It’s a must see but brace yourself it hit me hard.”

Gtfoh with this third wave bullshit.
Women coming out of college now make more money in most fields than the men they compete with. Black men make less than white women in most fields, where’s our next Million Man March?
Women disproportionately choose fields that pay less, like teaching and social work. That skews the statistics so people make bullshit arguments about pay being unequal. Next time fact check your lesbian sociology professor before believing everything that they spew.
Trump won because everyone has the victim mentality now. Your life sucks because you made bad choices, not because white males are out to get you.
Where u get ur figures from?
Commons a woman now? Fuck this SJW bullshit
Its not SJW if hes actually doing something lol. Cut it out with these internet trends. People find any kind of way to categorize someone.
The woman’s March is a bunch of BS. Equality for all? Tell me why women don’t have equality…
Wag gap….
I wonder how many white people said “Who’s this?”
Y’all don’t have to agree with the lyrics, but at least acknowledge the beat by Karriem Riggins. Shit is fire.
EQUAL RIGHTS! MORE ACTIVISM! LESS BULLSHIT!
