My Body Isn't Yours

[Verse 1]

20 eyes on me

But I don’t feel seen

And I didn’t invite them

Cuz they don’t feel clean

Crowded on this platform

An attendant speaks

They say watch your belongings

But they’re watching me

[Pre]

And who gave you the right?

Tell me who have you the licence to undress me with your eyes

[Chorus]

So you can walk away

Because I don’t want you in my space

And can you look away

Cuz my body isn’t for your gaze

And I won’t let you look through me

Or your eyes consume me oh-

Because my body isn’t yours to take

[Verse 2]

20 eyes on me

In an open space

And you don’t have to say it

It’s written all over your face

Stare and objectify

Blatantly scrutinise

Invading my privacy

Since when did you own these streets?

Pre / Chorus

[Bridge]

It’s my home and it’s my city

It belongs to me

So imma keep going till I get to where I need to be

And how I walk and what I wear is always up to me

Because my body isn’t yours to take

And believe that’ll never change

20 eyes on me

But I don’t feel seen
