Lyrics
they only have a problem when i'm movin like a bitch
Expressing frustration with judgment when behaving assertively or confidently.
baby i'm a boss you misread the script
Asserting dominance and correcting a misinterpretation of their role.
givin me permission like it's yours to offer
Critiquing someone who assumes authority over personal choices.
you know i'll do it anyway cuz i'm the author
Emphasizing autonomy and authorship of one's own actions.
it's not my fault you see me as a girl
Rejecting responsibility for others' perceptions of gender.
there's never been two genders in the world
Challenging the binary concept of gender, asserting diversity.
i'll only do this once so listen while i articulate:
Announcing an important message about breaking free from fixed views.
you're stuck in your ways
Repeating the idea that someone is resistant to change or new perspectives.
you're stuck in your ways
-you're stuck in your ways
-gender envy gender envy
Expressing a desire to transcend societal gender expectations with confidence.
don't box me in i am ascending
-respect is simple and i'm deadly
-regardless of how i'm presenting
-gender envy gender envy
-don't box me in i am ascending
-respect is simple and i'm deadly
-regardless of how im presenting
-did you ever think maybe i don't wanna smile more?
Questioning societal expectations regarding appearance and behavior.
did you ever think maybe i could hold the fucking door?
-'stead you're trippin' over history rewritten for the nation
-freedom never even started sharing her location
-laugh in my face and call me a slut
Facing derogatory remarks with confidence and self-assurance.
you say you do it better but you won't say what
-you think if i ignore you then i'll feed my own ambition
-but i'm barin' pearly whites like it's my loaded ammunition
-you wish that i were quiet
Rejecting the desire for silence, referencing historical struggles for pride.
but i already tried it
-do you need to be reminded that pride was a riot?
-gender envy gender envy
Reiterating the theme of transcending gender norms confidently.
don't box me in i am ascending
-respect is simple and i'm deadly
-regardless of how im presenting
-gender envy gender envy
-don't box me in i am ascending
-respect is simple and i'm deadly
-regardless of how im presenting
-gender envy gender envy
Repeating the phrase "gender envy" to emphasize the central theme.
gender envy gender envy
-gender envy gender envy
-gender envy gender envy
-it's time to retire your binary thinking
Encouraging a shift from binary thinking and challenging assumptions about gender.
your heteronormative mind is a weak link
-it's not required i'm androgynous babe
-so quit the assumptions and ask for my name
-ask for my name
Emphasizing the importance of personal identity and the act of asking for one's name.
ask for my name
-you don't even know me so ask for my name
-gender envy gender envy
Repeating the call to break free from societal constraints on gender identity.
don't box me in i am ascending
-respect is simple and i'm deadly
-regardless of how im presenting
