Why do they call me stupid, when I'm so much more smarter than them Why do they stare at my face, like I'm a prize to be won Why can't I buy a big t-shirt? It only says 'i do what i want' And what do you mean that you got me, A stupid new acne cream Apparently it's smells like Sunshine What the hell is that supposed to mean? Have you ever caught the eye Of someone 20 years older staring at you? Have you ever been told You got what you deserved? And I know it's the same for both of us But it didn't seem that way... When that guy told me I couldn't do it Just because I'm a different way And it's hard to see All these awful things happening To my women To my sister's of the world And do you not understand That I get frustrated When you say 'a hit in the balls' Is worse than giving birth? And what the frick do you mean!? I can do algebra! I can do it better than you! My womanly body can't stop me From being smarter, you fool! And when you say 'im going to go and walk home now' I envy that you feel safe... I envy you feel at home while I'm walking home at night I record a video The red dot blinking Because I'm just a young young girl Who grew up old and mean And when I see those women The ones your kind has hurt I feel a deep hot red anger I feel like I'm gonna burst Because it isn't fair, it isn't true How am I not The exact same as you?!

I'm just as good, maybe better

(probably really bad and doesn't even show the struggles women go through, but those are some of my experiences.)
