They say I'm difficult

Like that's supposed to make me small

Watch this

Called me high maintenance 'cause I know what I deserve

Said I'm complicated when I speak without a curve

Sugar-coating everything to make you comfortable

Nah I'd rather be honest and unforgettable

You want easy Go find a yes-girl clone

I've got standards got a mind got a backbone

My boundaries aren't walls they're quality control

And if that's difficult then difficult's my role

They want me softer

Want me quieter

Want me smaller

But I'm a fighter

They call me difficult like it's supposed to hurt

Baby difficult is how I know my worth

I won't apologize for standards set too high

Easy is boring difficult is fly

Yeah they call me difficult wear it like a crown

Can't handle the heat Then don't come around

Difficult difficult that's what they say

But difficult means I won't fade away

D I F F I C U L T

That's me baby unapologetically

Difficult difficult and I'm fine with that

'Cause easy gets forgotten that's a fact

They want me sweet until I'm cavities and rot

Want me agreeable forget what I've got

A brain a voice opinions of my own

Apparently that makes me hard as stone

But stone lasts forever while their easy crumbles down

I'm the castle standing tall they're the sand on the ground

Call it difficult call it high demands

I call it self-respect these are my commands

They want me softer

Want me quieter

Want me smaller

But I'm a fighter

Louder bolder standing taller

They call me difficult like it's supposed to hurt

Baby difficult is how I know my worth

I won't apologize for standards set too high

Easy is boring difficult is fly

Yeah they call me difficult wear it like a crown

Can't handle the heat Then don't come around

Difficult difficult that's what they say

But difficult means I won't fade away

You know what's actually difficult

Pretending to be less than you are

Shrinking yourself to fit their comfort zone

Swallowing your truth to keep the peace

That's difficult and I'm done with that

Difficult means I respect myself enough to say no

Difficult means I won't settle for the low

Difficult means I've got depth you can't erase

Difficult means I won't disappear without a trace

They call me difficult like it's supposed to hurt

Baby difficult is how I know my worth

I won't apologize for standards set too high

Easy is boring difficult is fly

Yeah they call me difficult wear it like a crown

Can't handle the heat Then don't come around

Difficult difficult that's what they say

But difficult means I'm here to stay
