Lyrics
You lay out the Canvas and paint my gender black with one brush stroke
Hashtag men are Scum and I must confess, scum is such a hashtag
But I guess that is what feminism is these days
The arrow of your compass has drifted from equality and justice
To hate and disgust these days
It rests on the tip of your tongues and the thumbs of your Twitter fingers
Think about this
What exactly is the equal right you're fighting for
The girl Child is being trained by her mother to be a wife
The high point of her life is Marry Age
Letting go of careers just to carry hers
When she should take flight
She is taught to take baby steps
The goal is to become a
Good housewife and watch her baby taking steps
I'm not sexist, but I do have a problem with your sex
I understand you hate being the subject in a room full of men
But when the formula objectifies you
Your pleasure becomes a subset of your pain, it's insane
You Scream women, not objects
Then you go on singing, it's either me or the ps5
Why wouldn't Ed be in Love with just the shape of you
When you aren't in love with the taste of you
Think outside the makeup box for once
You're a skyscraper holding on to temporary foundations
You draw it over and over again because it can never be enough
Your confidence is slave to these lashes
And That's why you're Searching for identities behind eye shadows
Can't you see, that true beauty is not cosmetic
When last were you yourself
When last were you a woman, Yes
When last were you your yardstick
Not, what a Man can do a woman can do more or less
When Last where you goddess
Not looking for approval from men to be the goddesses you are
When last were you your best
What kind of world would we have had
If Eve looked the serpent right in the eye and told him
No, I don't want to be like God
I want to be the only thing I was created to be
A woman
I'm not sexist but I do have a problem with my sex
When would we realize that men do not cry is in itself is a cry for help
That almost every adult man you see is not himself
Constantly at war with himself
Trying to shut up and man up
And get into the social construct of what a man is made of
And his personality is locked up in a shelf
This gender is a mess
A man is constantly at risk of suicide
Because the alternative is to ask for help
And we've been taught that being vulnerable is not honorable
You've got to be a wall even if your insides are made of rubble
You've got to help others stand tall
Even if when you try to walk you stumble
Never ask for help
Be a man
Beat your heart till it's numb
And turn around and tell everyone you're in control
You cannot always be in control
Alpha male
Another name for this coffins nail
Chin up, chest broad, stand tall, Sound assertive
And never be yourself
But We don't learn to keep our hands to ourselves
To treat women with respect
No one tells us that a visit, a short dress
And silence is not consent
That a woman's body isn't a maze
And my confidence is not at the other end
Tell the girls to stop tempting the boys
No! Tell the boys a thing or two about being human
Tell them
A woman Is not your better half
Not your help mate, not your missing rib
A woman is whole by herself
Not a litmus of your fragile masculinity
Not something to be catcalled when she walks the vicinity
A woman should be treated with dignity
For a woman isn't less
She is more than we would ever know
But sometimes I wonder
Does she even know
I'm not sexist
I just think we need a reality check
