Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Speak, only to be judged on looks alone
The weak manipulate what they can't control
I am not a burden or coveted prize
Tame, smile pretty and fit the mold
Shamed if you act in ways they don't condone
[Chorus]
I am not a burden or coveted prize
I will not be owned or ostracized
[Refrain]
Disrespected, second-class citizen
Sexist bias, silent precedence
Inundated by virile arrogance
Chauvinistic
[Bridge]
The glass ceiling exists
Smash it
[Verse 2]
To the patriarchy you were born
Where subjugation is the daily norm
Too weak, too strong, facing a lack of concern
Educated to swallow your pride
Hold your tongue, it's what's implied
It's your body but you must compromise
Ah
[Chorus]
I am not a burden or coveted prize
I will not be owned or ostracized
[Refrain]
Disrespected, second-class citizen
Sexist bias, silent precedence
Inundated by virile arrogance
Chauvinistic
[Outro]
Oh, oh, ah
Oh, oh, ah
Oh, ah
Ah
Woo-ooh
