Yo, I don't appreciate you telling me the way that I should live

No, I think the choices you've laid out for me, the end is negative

So, take all your imagery and ideology, yes I'll be fine

When you go, I'd rather not display my physical I'd rather use my mind

You act like all I am to be is, just a sexy, sexy thing

Just a showpiece for all to see like a Bently or your diamond ring

I know that I am more than that (don't believe the hype)

The One who made the stars and sun gave meaning to my life



Ohhh, I don't need you to define my b-e-a-u-t-y

I'd rather draw the line

Ohhh, I don't need you on my team, what you've selling is a pipe dream

And I don't need it baby



Hey! It seems a shame to me I've been reduced to an object of lust and hate

No way! Please understand that I refuse to be simply a height and weight

This day, somewhere we've lost the value of what a woman is supposed to be

A queen, respected and defined by her creator, size 24, 10, or size 3

You act like all I am to be is, just a sexy, sexy thing

Just a showpiece for all to see like a Bently or your diamond ring

I know that I am more than that (don't believe the hype)

The One who made the stars and sun gave meaning to my life



It's my choice and I will decide, I won't let you destroy my pride

I'm no showpiece for you to hide, and lose all that I am inside

God made me and I'm beautiful, I won't dress like that kind of girl

R-e-s-p-e-c-t see, that's the way that you got to look at me
