It's Not Fair
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Unfair Struggles of a Girl
Lyrics
It's not fair for the world to pass me by
Expressing frustration at being left behind by the world.
And I stand cautiously aside
Choosing to remain cautiously on the sidelines.
As though I'm shy
Portraying oneself as shy or hesitant.
They say it's right for a girl
Commenting on societal expectations for girls to conform.
To stay in line and keep her name from
Emphasizing the pressure on girls to avoid gossip and rumors.
Dragging through the grapevine
Highlighting the challenges girls face in maintaining their reputation.
When a boy can live any life run around
Contrasting the freedom of boys to live unrestrained lives.
There is nothing he can do
Asserting that boys have more freedom without facing consequences.
That will keep him down no
Stating that nothing can hold a boy down.
It's not fair
Reiterating the sentiment that life is not fair.
Now if justice plays such an important role
Questioning the role of justice in securing girls' rights.
In a girl's rights who has lots of soul
Referring to a girl with a strong personality and character.
Then the time will come
Anticipating a time when rules will change for the better.
When this rule will lag gving me a chance
Expecting an opportunity for personal growth.
To come out of my bag
Referring to coming out of one's shell or comfort zone.
No it's not fair
Reiterating the belief that life is not fair.
It's not fair if I can't go where I wanna go
Expressing discontent about restrictions on personal freedom.
It's not fair if I can't do what I wanna do
Repeating the frustration about limitations on personal actions.
Guys and gals all around me
Observing the opinions of those around the speaker.
They all sound me
Others sharing their perspectives with the speaker.
The tell me what's mine is mine
Describing possessiveness and selfishness in relationships.
If I wanna share it then alright fine
Expressing a willingness to share, despite societal norms.
It's not fair and I ain't gonna by this mess
Rejecting societal expectations about being a "good girl."
About a good girl i understand
Understanding the desire of every girl to have pride.
That every girl wants pride
Acknowledging the importance of personal dignity.
But this gap between good and bad
Commenting on the significant gap between societal standards.
Is very wide just as sure as God made
Stating the wide difference between good and bad in society.
Boy to love girl makes me know I'm to get
Affirming the natural attraction between boys and girls.
Some part of this world
Expecting a share of the world as a rightful part of life.
No it's not fair
Reiterating the belief that life is not fair.
It's not fair it's not fair
Emphasizing the unfairness experienced by the speaker.
It's not fair and I ain't gonna by this mess
Rejecting societal expectations about being a "good girl."
About a good girl
Understanding the desire of every girl to have pride.
It's not fair if I can't go where I wanna go
