It is a collaboration between queer pop musician/music video director Dorian Electra and musical artists Zuri Marley, Chynna, K Rizz & London Jade.

lyrics

CHORUS:
Control (control) Get your hands off my body.
Control (control) Taking it back tonight.
Control (control) No more control just let it go.
Get your hands off my body.

ZURI MARLEY:
Never trust a demon told a father to his son.
A woman is a devil unless she is a nun.
Controls her body with her herbs
The church call this a witch’s curse
Her power makes them feel disturbed
They tie her up and watch her burn.

DORIAN ELECTRA:
Good girls stay at home, don’t go out to work or vote.
Womanhood is on the brink, motherhood going extinct.
Midwives are to blame, flushing babies down the drain.
Plus they hurt our profit gain. Stop these women, they’re insane.

They try to shut us up and shut us down.
Try to start a fire, burn us to the ground.
Don’t try to control what belongs to me.
Get your hands, get your hands off my body.

CHORUS:
Control (control) Get your hands off my body.
Control (control) Taking it back tonight.
Control. No more control, just let it go.
Get your hands, get your hands off my body.

K RIZZ:
Anti-Abortion, anti-immigration
joined forces against foreign races
They feared foreign ova population
Wanted white folks to keep procreatin'

Whatchu scared of? Something lil spicy?
Genetically inferior, huh? Bite me!
tube tying- folks just like me
So baby now we got bad blood, fight me.

CHYNNA:
First off I don’t like needles.
Neither do my people. Never seen as equal.
Sterilize my women, not a question of permission
But a lesson in the art of stealing anything they need to.
Women in the slave trade, all of em were “fair game”
“Born to be a temptress,” said that nature was the main blame.
Never had an option before they got a test done
Testin’ their eugenics on my women we the test run.

But where they get thought from?
Hitler only a beginner, guess who taught him?
California been a sinner.
Google it.
It’s been proven U.S. movin like a hypocrite.

K RIZZ:
They talkin' bout “dirty genes"
acting like the blood on their hands is clean —
The science was baseless. The premise was racist.
Get your hands, get your hands off my body.


CHORUS:
Control. Get your hands off my body.
Control. Taking it back tonight.
Control. No more control, no, no just let it go.
Get your hands off my body.

LONDON JADE:
I got the body of a goddess
Even though your religion didn't want this
Yeah, I’m the witch, I'm the shaman
They wanna hate me cause my body isn't common
Woah, you wanna place my gender?
Then you wanna shame me, wanna blame my temper?
Society will tell you that I'm playing dress up
But I’m natural, I can make you feel the pressure.
Don’t try to overpower my spirit, my mind, my soul, and my flower.
Open up your mind, maybe you will understand
Trans doesn’t focus on the parts up in my pants
So don’t control my body with science
Cause me and my girls will form an alliance
Pussy don’t purr when you messing with the lions
Coming for you quick and we bout to start a riot.

ZURI MARLEY:
Differences in our experience, are you listening?
Don’t stay quiet when they erase our images.
You blow yourself a kiss. Are you a “feminist?”
Hold me, hold me, hold me, but don’t try to control me.

CHORUS:
Control (control) Get your hands off my body.
Control (control) Taking it back tonight.
Control (control) No more control, no no, just let it go.
Get your hands off my body.

Control (control) Get your hands off my body.
Control (control) Taking it back tonight.
Control (control) No more control, no no, just let it go.
Get your hands off my body.
