As women and men joined the second iteration of the Women’s March in cities across the country Saturday, celebrities also joined them. Rapper and actor Common was among the reported thousands on hand, and he recited a verse from his 2016 track “The Day Women Took Over” to lend his support.
Ryan Pearson captured video of Common's performance, which you can view above. You can also read a full transcript of the verse, which addresses various topics from intersectional feminism to mass incarceration, below.
