Girls Like Her

Growing up a girl is way harder than they say

Seeing spicy girls on MTV who seem get it their way

Wanting to be strong like them but knowing the struggles I would face

Now I see that their power is fragile

She's in the room but doesn't take up too much space

Grabs the chances she gets and still knows her place

Still they tear her apart for being too smart

Then praise her for handling the hate with grace

She's digestible and of value to them as long as she doesn't complain

And remains

A goddamn sensation on the marketplace
