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
