lyrics
Dumb shrug, sick grin,
You're born into this world as a boy or a thing,
'Calm down, joking.'
Have you ever been asked why you're not smiling?
Bet they thought they were really in luck,
What they didn't expect when push came to shove.
No fuss, not afraid to play rough,
Gotta ask yourself if you're strong enough,
Like a Girl.
Your choice, stay mean.
Are you looking for a pass or a life less ordinary?
Make noise. Yaas kween.
No ifs, no buts, no guts, no glory.
Bet they thought they were really in luck,
What they didn't expect when push came to shove.
No fuss, not afraid to play rough,
Gotta ask yourself if you're strong enough,
Like a Girl.
Does it seem so hysterical?
Running straight up walls.
Doesn't seem so impossible.
Hurl yourself at the world,
Like a girl.
