I Don't Listen To You
Defiant Freedom: I Dress for Me
Lyrics
So he told me to change my top right
Rejecting someone's advice to change clothing.
He said it was too revealing
Defending the choice of attire against criticism.
So I said
Responding to the criticism.
I don't listen to you
Asserting independence and refusal to listen.
I can dress how I want
Claiming the right to dress freely.
I can dress how I feel
Emphasizing the freedom to express oneself through clothing.
If I wanna dress like this
Defiantly stating the intention to dress as desired.
Wear my fave high heels
Expressing the choice to wear favorite high heels confidently.
You do not own my shit
Rejecting ownership or control over personal choices.
You do not own my skin
Asserting autonomy over one's body.
Boy I'm wearing this
Confidently wearing the chosen outfit despite criticism.
And I don't listen to you
Reiterating the refusal to listen to external opinions.
Shake that booty for nobody but your damn self
Encouraging self-expression, especially through dancing.
Shake that booty for nobody but your damn self
-Shake that booty for nobody but your damn self
-Your damn self
-I don't listen to you
Reiterating the rejection of external influence.
People wanna judge
Addressing societal judgment and criticism.
Throw shade at girls like us
Refusing to conform to societal expectations for women.
Who don't bow down to the men
Resisting submission to men's control.
Who wanna try and cover us up
Opposing attempts to cover up or control women.
We aren't your property
Rejecting the idea of women as possessions.
We aren't accessories
Emphasizing independence and equality.
So listen carefully
Advising others to listen carefully to the message.
Cause I don't listen to you
Repeating the refusal to heed external opinions.
Shake that booty for nobody but your damn self
Encouraging self-confidence and dancing for oneself.
Shake that booty for nobody but your damn self
-Shake that booty for nobody but your damn self
-Your damn self
-Cause people gonna judge everything that I do
Addressing societal judgment and asserting individuality.
In the way that I dress or the way that I move
-All eyes on me as I enter the room
-Boys like you better grow up soon
-Cause girls like us won't cover shit up
Asserting the refusal to conform or be silenced.
Girls like us will never shut up
-Girls like us feel angry as fuck
-I don't listen to you
Reiterating the independence and resistance to external influence.
With everybody looking his face be dropping
Celebrating self-expression and defying societal norms.
I'll be shaking my shit I'll be turning it up
-All of these girls they'll be looking at me like
-Go on sis' we'll be fucking it up
-I just wanna break these chains
Expressing the desire to break free from constraints.
Middle finger up in his face
-You boys should know your place
-Cause I don't listen to you
Reaffirming the refusal to listen to external opinions.
You
Addressing the specific individuals or society trying to exert control.
You
