BABYG!RL ZAE STEREOTYPES Lyrics:
If I go out and I make 6 figure checks as woman,
somehow they look down on me
And no matter how hard I been working still gotta come home
And I gotta cook and I gotta clean
Busy taking care of this and I'm taking care of that
And I gotta do it like I ain't thinking bout a thing
And if a woman does it that's just the basics
But if a man does it he's a king
Almost forgot, you gotta look good while you do it
Hair done, nails done, and your makeup on too
Don't be too dressed up but dressed up enough
So you don't look burnt out and you still look cute
But don't be too revealing, gotta be intriguing
But that don't mean fully cover up
I still gotta put in all the hours even when I'm bleeding
If I don't I'm told to toughen up
I guess we can thank social media for making it the new real to be fake
Everybody making their life look good
Even when behind the screen they need to be saved
Photoshop and plastic surgery the new standard of beauty, that shit really painful
How can you look at a women being natural and still not be grateful
And when she fall pregnant everyone got their opinions on how she gon be a good mother
And if you think her body gon be same after like she's not attractive, you never loved her
Now it's her job to carry the weight of a baby like she did this to herself, like you ain't a father
At this point expectations be so outrageous Why the fuck do we even bother
Stereotypes imma break em
Whole life I stood out I embrace it
I don't care about match this or match that
Better yet, scratch this scratch that
Whole time we dealing with gender suppression
Ever thought that could lead women to depression
But if we speak up we're crazy, annoying, or dramatic right
Shit don't concern you, why you judge my appetite
This the shit keep me up at night
Gotta do it for me knowing others bite
Gotta maintain the peace but put up a fight
Gotta reclaim my power, defend my rights
Don't wanna be scared seeing city lights
How come I don't get praise with more sleepless nights
Whether it's crime or the GBV rate or my drink
How come something always getting spiked
Just because I'm feminine don't mean I can't drive no whip
Ain't an automatic car got a shift
Get your ass kicked, whoever said a girl can't game must be living in a ditch
We've come along way from being classified a witch
Now the motives different, treated like a dog I'm called a bitch
All I'd ask for is equality, I'm given one wish
Men's mentality the problem, Botox ain't the fix
Women took a stand, boys took offence
Then made it impossible for one to pay the rent
Ain't coming from a bad place, just talking with intent
It's our time we started starting 5, we're coming off the bench
Bout time they saw our input so we stop getting retrenched
Even if they shoot at us, bulletproof ain't no vest
If she ain't all done up, it don't mean that she a mess
Knowing just how far we've come, won't lie, I feel blessed
Huh huh huh huh
If I ain't tryna do it I won't
How come I gotta put in effort, you don't
How come I gotta get ready, you comb
How come when I bleed I can't stay at home
How come my needs are always unknown
I don't care who did what, no clone
Always a new standard everytime I check my phone
No matter what I'm going out for I can't do that shit alone
Cuz I be getting eyes, even with no skin showing
And how come when I'm screaming out for help
They don't worry bout the pain I'm feeling
But always something bout my tone
I'm just focused on the future got a lot to set in stone
And backhanded compliments ain't something to condone
Just cuz I'm a woman don't mean I should be prone
To all of this hate, is that really what we're doing
Stereotypes imma break em
Whole life I stood out I embrace it
I don't care about match this or match that
Better yet, scratch this scratch that
