Beautiful Girl from Power by SUIT

I was tossed into the world
A beautiful boy with curls
Had a normie mom and a dad
Following rules, following fads

They grew up in the nineties
Daddy raised by a single mommy
Their parents liberated
By a high society

I used to study my mother
She had a thing for the ladies
It made me kinda wonder
Does my daddy like the boys?

I think I was nine years old
When he ran off with “Uncle” Keith
That was the least of her concerns, cuz
She’s tramping around on O.C.

Hey girl, give it whirl
A chance at makin’ history
Bathed in social recognition
100% validation
Hey there, big man… Look at me!

When we were little kids
The neighbor boy his name was Johnny
Dressing up in his sisters clothes
Raiding his mommy’s makeup bag

There I was at 11 spinnin’ and spinnin’
and spinnin’ with questions
So god damned boring
Zero self-esteem

It got the wheels a turnin’
My lovely teacher’s made a suggestion
We’re paid to see your potential
And who you’re supposed to be!

They talked me into blockers
Sayin’ “it’ll buy you a little time.”
“Take a lot, or take a little,
You be you! You get to decide!”

Hey girl, give it whirl
A chance at makin’ history
Bathed in social recognition
100% validation
Hey there, big man… Look at me!

I joined an activist organization
Can’t recall where they got the funding
But they paid for my prescription
So, I started on the “E”

Promoting my inclination
And aligned with my disposition
Now I see myself in the movies, TV shows
And the media mainstream

CSR is the engine
Driving D&I disillusion
The university system
Will kick you out if you disagree

We’re selling it to the kids
in every K-12 classroom
Storytime at the library
Infiltrating your daughter’s bathroom

Hey girl, give it whirl
A chance at makin’ history
Bathed in social recognition
100% validation
Hey there, big man… Look at me!
