Nobodys by Tracy De S Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2018

[Verse]
Apparently I'm a woman, what does that mean?
I was born inside this body, I didn’t choose the theme
Only two genders in our system, ain't no in between
So when I feel like this and act like that, it fucks my self-esteem
What does it even feel like when growth tags you a girl
Organs appear, blood comes disappears, they see acne and those curls
They'll look at you, got a hook you, make a fool of you, come take a twirl
Always invisible cos we’re just trophies in this stupid man's world
The word says a woman is just a man that owns a womb
And because we can nurture, now we gotta make a home out of a room
And because we own that precious thing, you're pressuring baby boom
Womanhood sometimes comes with the most bitter of all perfumes

My body is just mine, it ain't nobody's
Every stereotype comes to control how we behave
Gotta look right, fixed weight and height, always clean shaved, body and face
The price for what you gave, another stone on what you paved
21st century enslaved

My body is just mine, it ain't nobody's
So why does it feel like I must have to justify
Everything I wear, everything I do, I identify
Long or short, no rules to comply
Blame it on my safety on the roads
Cause you want me home and don't deny
My body is just mine, it ain’t nobody’s
And please don't get me started on my femininity
You want the bright side, you want sexy, my intimacy
The value of my dignity shamed by your tyranny
But say who represents me in your holy trinity

My body is just mine, it ain’t nobody's
I feel attraction too, I-I want that pleasure too
Keep all your romance, your love stories, new heroes, new villains right in our shoes
When are you gonna let us openly talk about our bodies cause we're done with taboos

My body is just mine, it ain't nobody’s
Our bodies are proof that life can be so unfair
You can get inside us, cut open and tear
Penetrate our bodies, leave our souls unbare
Keep all for yourself but, girls, we have to share
Always gotta care, in-tru-sion, our personal affair

[Outro]
There are so many beautiful things about being a woman
But let's talk about the real issues right now
It ain't always easy, the least we can do is fully own our bodies
Cut that
