With the rise and sensitization of women empowerment and their rights around the world, I feel like the term feminism has been hugely misunderstood. The mention of the term has become very uncomfortable for many people. To men, it seems like the women are out here to fight them and take their places in the society while on the other hand women have neglected their natural born gifts to out seat the men and take their place. Again, I insist, gender equality is equal opportunity for everyone to do what feels best in their hearts and minds. Women are powerful and strong in their own right. And so are men, but for this article I will talk about lyrics that remind women of their empowerment.

Lyrics are more than just entertainment as the lyricists can pass important and sensitive messages through their music. The good thing about these lyrics is that they traverse all genres of music. There are people who stick to a favorite genre for a lifetime and in spite of their limited music taste, they never miss the chance to learn from the lyrics from their genre of choice.
