You need to be pretty.
You need to be pretty and you need to be quiet.
You need to be pretty and you need to be quiet and you need to give everything to a man because he deserves it for putting a roof over your head.
You need to be pretty.
You need to be pretty and you need to be quiet
You need to be pretty and you need to be quiet and you need to be appreciative of a man because he provides you with the life you were meant to live.
Pretty
Quiet
Appreciative.
Stay in your place.
Don't talk back
Don't flinch when he hits you
Don't flinch when he touches you
Don't flinch when he yells at you.
Pretty
Quiet
Appreciative.
Because you were born into the 21st century version of being sold off like a slave. Pretty
Quiet
Appreciative
None of this is optional.
You need to be (whoever you want) and you need to be (as loud as you want) and you need to (appreciate yourself)
None of this is optional
((( this is insanely cool and i love it goodbye )))
