Not Sweet Enough
Unapologetic Rebellion: Not Your Sweet Mold
Lyrics
You say, I ain’t got
You claim that I don't possess
I ain’t got what you want
I lack what you desire
And you think I’m dirty
You perceive me as impure
I’m dirty and unworthy
I'm considered dirty and not deserving
And yet you’re always looking back at me
Despite this, you frequently look back at me
I wonder what it is, that you hope to see?
I wonder what it is that you expect to find?
I’m not sweet enough
I am not charming or pleasing enough
I’m not sweet enough
-I’m not sweet enough
-I’m not sweet enough
-Treating me like I’m no one
You treat me as if I'm insignificant
Telling me what to do
You dictate my actions
Taking away my freedom
You strip away my freedom
What are you trying to prove
What are you attempting to demonstrate?
And yet you’re always looking back at me
Yet, you consistently look back at me
I wonder what it is, that you hope to see?
I wonder what it is that you hope to see?
I’m not sweet enough
I am not sweet or endearing enough
I’m not sweet enough
-I’m not sweet enough
-I’m not sweet enough
-I can’t behave
I cannot conform to your expectations
I can’t behave
I cannot behave in the way you desire
You took my choice
You have taken away my ability to choose
I have a voice
Despite this, I still have a voice
I can’t believe what you did to me,
I am deeply affected by what you did and said
What you said to my girl and my family
-I’ll drive you your city, I’ll hunt you down
-You talk so much, you will be found
-On the sidewalk, or in the bars
I know your vulnerabilities and wounds
I know all your wounds and I know all your scars,
-So come on, yeah, take a walk with me,
Take a walk with me, discover my true nature
And you’ll find out just how sweet I can be
-And to the grey boys, that run the south
A defiant stance against oppressive authority
You still have your pens but I still have my mouth
-You use yours to rule my womb, I’ll use mine to bring you doom
-And I mean doom
-Like run out of town
A warning of consequences, a fall from power
Walking ‘round here with your pants pulled down
-A long dark hall
-So far to fall
-And you’ll recall
You will remember
I’m not sweet at all
I am not sweet or gentle in any way
That’s right, I’m not sweet at all
-That’s right, I’m not sweet at all
-That’s right, I’m not sweet at all
-That’s right, I’m not sweet at all
A reaffirmation that sweetness is not a characteristic
