Terrible
Terrible Beauty Unveiled: Jafar's Glamour Critique in Song
Lyrics
Missy I don't say she's not beautiful
Expressing that Missy is beautiful, but not tonight.
But she wasn't looking beautiful tonight
Emphasizing Missy's lack of beauty on the current night.
She doesn't equal me
Comparing the speaker to Missy and asserting superiority.
Look at her make-up, it's terrible
Criticizing Missy's makeup as terrible.
Look at her make-up
Reiterating the criticism of Missy's makeup.
Terrible, terrible
Repeating the idea that the makeup is terrible.
She said Crystal darling don't go
Quoting Crystal advising not to leave due to rejection.
Because you're not going to get it
Implying that rejection is expected for the speaker.
And that's why all the true beauties didn't come
Stating that true beauties didn't attend the event because of potential rejection.
And that's why all the true beauties didn't come
-And that's why all the true beauties didn't come
-Now wait a second, hold it
Interrupting the narrative, calling for attention.
Dusted, dusted sweeping up the floor
Describing cleaning up the floor with dust.
She badder than she ever been before
Highlighting improvement in appearance.
Waist snatched for the Gods, Haute Couture
Describing a well-defined waist and high-end fashion.
And then some more, serve some
Serving excellence and then some.
Pretty get a manicure, claws all done by four
Having a manicure, with claws done by 4 PM.
Take a snapshot, post it on the wall
Taking a photo and sharing it on the wall for admiration.
(Like, like like)
Encouraging others to like the photo.
Comment she adorb, yeah she's so gorg, she's so
Comments on the adorability and gorgeousness of the speaker.
High class (Feminine), glowing (Melanine)
Emphasizing high-class and glowing skin.
Lace front (Put it in), serve it (Better than)
Referencing a lace front hairstyle and excelling over others.
All these fucking posers
Criticizing others as posers and clowns trying to imitate the speaker.
All these fucking hoes are
-Tryna be gay, tryna read me
-What a cliché, what a clown
-You the cirque du soleil
-Imma check your lashes
Checking and challenging others' appearance.
Check your nails
-Someone get my glasses
-Imma read you to hell
-(Terri- terrible, terri- terrible)
Repeatedly emphasizing that something is terrible.
(Terri- terrible, terri- terrible)
-Grab a bitch right by her weave
Encouraging aggressive actions against rivals and advocating rule-breaking.
Cut her up, yeah make her bleed
-Hack and slash and cut and cleave
-Chop her up, til' she concede
-Fan it out and throw some shade
-Bring her down, yeah make her fade
-Fuck the rules go renegade
-Get your tens, yeah get your grade
-Get your tens, yeah get your grade
-Get your tens, yeah get your grade
Repeating the encouragement to achieve a high grade or rating.
Get your tens, yeah get your grade

-And yet darling somehow you always end up feeling all
Expressing an ongoing feeling of being terrible despite outward success.
