ICONIC

This is for the ladies who are more
Than what they seem,
The ones who wake up everyday
And paint there face with pretty things
Just to be able to compete
With unrealistic expectations

The obligations of a woman
That just wants some validation
Were brought up on the lie
That our women aren't sacred
Just procreators that God gave us
Nothin but baby makers

But its mind over materialism
Thats what they should've told us
We don't even grow up
We just live to get older
Its all a game and I'm folding
This caked up face is just a mask

Im sick of the liner and lashes
This lipgloss tastes like ass
Go ahead and ask me why I do it
You wont believe me anyway
But women are in competition
Almost every single day

Impossible bodies are displayed for all to see
Picture perfect figures
But looks can deceive
Its like your buying the right
To say yeah they wish they were me
While your just chasing after something
You may never achieve

Who's to say whats beautiful
Why cant we love ourselves
Who decides perfection
Why do we so seldom ask for help
Why are we defined by the bodies that were born in
Why does no one warn us of all the fingers they be pointing

Tell me where is the love in all this self hatred
The truth is no one knows happiness
So they try and fake it
You can't tell me that I'm wrong
When Ive seen in repeatedly
Were all buying fake smiles
While dying inside secretly

I seen a woman recently
She was crying and in pain
When I ask her what was wrong she said
Its never gonna change
I'll never be enough
Im so scrawny and so plain

And I looked her in her eyes
That were a beautiful sparkling green
And I told her It'd be fine
Fuck the ones they compare you to
Theres never gonna be another one
Another you

And thats something you hold onto
And listen when I tell you girl
While everyone will change themselves
You'll change the fucking world
