Because I'm a Girl
Empowering Anthem for Girls: Breaking Stereotypes
Lyrics
Don’t try to tell me I can’t do it cause
Challenges the notion that she can't achieve something.
All that makes me wanna do is do it cause I can
Her determination is fueled by being told she can't do something.
Don’t try to tell me I’m not strong enough
Rejects the idea that she lacks strength.
All that makes me wanna prove is I’m enough ‘cause I am
She aims to prove her worth and sufficiency.
Too weak, too innocent, showing too much skin
Refutes stereotypes about weakness and appearance.
Too sweet, emotions so unstable
Rejects the notion of being emotionally unstable for being sweet.
Too thin, too accommodating, it’s too much it’s suffocating
Describes the pressure to conform and its suffocating impact.
Time’s up now Imma turn the tables
Expresses a determination to change the status quo.
Because I’m a girl, gotta be this and that
Highlights societal expectations and limitations on girls.
Because I’m a girl, gotta say this, not that
Emphasizes imposed restrictions on expression.
But because I’m a girl, I’m gonna be strong
Declares the intention to exhibit strength despite expectations.
Prove ‘em wrong
Commits to disproving preconceptions.
For every girl, I’ll conquer the world
Expresses solidarity and empowerment for all girls.
Because I’m a girl
Reaffirms her identity and determination as a girl.
You tried to mold me, make me fit inside
Resists conforming to traditional stereotypes.
Your old school stereotypes, yeah that’s nice but I can’t
Rejects outdated societal expectations.
You want to have your cake and eat it too
Highlights conflicting and unrealistic expectations placed on girls.
Act like a lady, but be cool and smile for you, well I’ll pass
Refuses to adhere to contradictory standards set for girls.
Too weak too innocent, showing too much skin
Reiterates defiance against stereotypes related to appearance.
Too sweet, emotions so unstable
Rejects the notion that emotions are a weakness.
Too thin, too accommodating, it’s too much it’s suffocating
Expresses suffocation due to societal expectations.
Time’s up now Imma turn the tables
Reaffirms determination to challenge societal norms.
Because I’m a girl, gotta be this and that

For every girl I’ll conquer the world

I like who I see staring back at me
Accepts herself but challenges societal expectations.
I’m alright with her, but not society
Feels okay with herself but not accepted by society.
Your standards need to leave
Rejects societal standards and expectations.
Our bodies are for keeps
Asserts autonomy over one's body against societal norms.
Your words they cut us deep

But they don’t make us bleed
Emphasizes resilience against emotional harm.
