Lyrics
cudition for a movie today
Auditioning for a movie today
c pretty young girl, she's excited to play a doctor
Encountering a pretty young girl excited to play a doctor
But the director had to stop her and turn her away because
Director stops her due to freckles on her face
She got freckles on her face
Her hair is frizzy, and she's chubby; not meeting beauty standards
Her hair is really frizzy and she's chubby in the waist, a cutie
Despite being a cutie, they were looking for a different beauty
But they were looking for a beauty, not her
Goes home, removes makeup, feels disgrace in the mirror
So she went home took the makeup off her face
Eats ice cream, reflecting on her rejection
cnd ate a bowl of ice cream feeling her disgrace in the mirror
Experience leads to feelings of inadequacy
Just because
Her lack of perceived beauty causes distress
She wasn't beautiful enough
She feels she isn't beautiful enough
She didn't have the right proportions
Lacks the right physical proportions
She needs someone to build her up
Needs emotional support and affirmation
She needs a drastic change in fortune
Desires a significant positive change in her life
She wasn't beautiful enough
Reiteration of her perception of not being beautiful enough
She's ashamed of her race
Feeling ashamed of her race due to melanin
Too much melanin clouding up her face, a human
Perceived as more of a demon than a human
But she felt more like a demon
Expresses loneliness and a sense of alienation
No Love, so she said things that a human wouldn't say
Behaving in ways that push others away
cnd she did things just to push others away, she's hurting
Experiencing emotional pain and distress
Becoming very disconcerting
Becoming unsettling to others
Someone told her, “Keep quiet ‘cause you got nothing to say
Advised to keep quiet to avoid trouble
You'll only cause trouble so just stay out of the way
Labelled as worthless
You're worthless”
Reasoning behind the advice to stay out of the way
Just because
You're just not beautiful enough
Criteria include long hair and specific physical attributes
Your hair don't hang down to your bottom
She needs a man to validate her worth
You need a man to build you up
Described as a problem rather than a princess
You're not a princess, you're a problem
Reiteration of not being beautiful enough
You're just not beautiful enough
You could believe what they say about you
Suggests using criticism as motivation
Or you could use it like a stepping stone
Using negativity as fuel for inner strength
It's like the fuel for the fire in you
Encourages resilience in the face of criticism
cnd when it's burning you're forever strong
Emphasizes the strength gained from adversity
You ain't gotta listen to whatever they say
Rejecting societal expectations and norms
You ain't gotta try to do whatever they do
Empowering oneself by not conforming
You are not the problem don't be taken for a fool
Asserting one's value and rejecting false judgments
Because you're beautiful enough
Affirmation of being beautiful enough
I know sometimes the system fails ya
Acknowledging systemic failures but urging resilience
But all you need is to stand up
Encouraging standing up against challenges
Don't matter if anyone tells ya
Emphasizing self-worth despite external opinions
Because you're beautiful enough
A final affirmation of being beautiful enough
