Nonbinary
Arca Lyrics

I do what I wanna do when I wanna do it
I am in control of my actions and make my own choices.

Bitch, I got the bags to prove it
I have money to support myself and my decisions.

Hips to move it around and make shapes, yes
I am comfortable and confident in my body and can express myself through movement.

Trim the waste off and the waist down girl it's lift off
I am working towards becoming the best, truest version of myself by making choices that feel right for me.

It's french tips wrapped 'round a dick
I am exploring my sexuality and finding pleasure in ways that are outside of societal norms.

Do you want a taste?
I am proud of my sexuality and am not afraid to share it with others who are interested.

I don't give a fuck what you think
I do not care about others' opinions of me and my choices, as long as I am happy and fulfilled.

You don't know me
Others cannot understand me fully without taking the time to truly get to know me and my experiences.

You might owe me
Others may benefit from my presence and influence, even if they don't realize it.

But bitch you'll never know me
Nobody can fully understand or define me, as I am constantly evolving and growing.

Ask me how I got here
My journey to this point has been unique and full of personal growth and struggles.

Bitch, I worked hard
I have put in the time and effort to create the life and person that I am today.

Ask me about my luck
I have experienced both good and bad luck, just like everyone else.

Yeah I've been lucky
Some aspects of my life have fallen into place due to chance or fortune.

And I've been unlucky
Other aspects of my life have been difficult or challenging, despite my best efforts.

It's both
Life is a balance of good and bad experiences, and I accept and embrace that truth.

Don't put your shit on me
I don't want or need to carry the negative energy or problems of others.

Bitch, I'm special you can't tell me otherwise
I recognize my own value and self-worth, and refuse to let others dim my shine.

That'd be a lie
Any attempts to discredit or diminish me are inherently untrue.

Who do you think I am?
Others cannot know or understand me fully without taking the time to listen and learn.

It's not who do you think you're dealing with, no
Others may have preconceived notions or assumptions about me, but those aren't necessarily accurate.

'Cause you're not dealing with
I am my own person and cannot be reduced or defined by others' expectations or prejudices.

There's no deal
I do not owe others anything, and others do not owe me anything.

Bitch it's real on my side
I am committed to living my life authentically and truthfully.

Go ahead, speak for yourself
Others should focus on their own experiences and perspectives, rather than assuming they know what's best for me.

Cast the first stone
Nobody is perfect, and others should not judge me for my imperfections or mistakes.

If you wanna be a puppet
I refuse to let others control or manipulate me.

Better yet
In fact, I encourage others to embrace their own agency and freedom.

Speak for your self, states
Others should focus on their own lives and experiences, rather than projecting their assumptions or biases onto me.

Speak for your self, self, states
Others should take responsibility for their own actions and voices, rather than trying to control or silence others.

(I'm over your) Self, states
I am uninterested in participating in toxic or unproductive interactions with others who seek to bring me down.

Speak for your self, states
Others should work to understand and engage with their own identities, rather than trying to impose that work on me.

Speak for your self, states
Others should recognize that everybody's journey is different, and should not assume that their own experiences are universal.

Speak for your self, states
My identity and choices are my own, and others should take responsibility for their own interpretations and reactions.

(I'm over your) Self
I refuse to engage with those who are not willing to do the work of understanding and engaging with others with respect and empathy.

I can be friendly or I can be fake
I have the choice to present myself in different ways depending on the situation or my own mood.

I can be real or I can lick a taste
I am honest and authentic in some situations, but may hold back in others in order to keep the peace or maintain privacy.

What's it gonna take?
I am curious and open to exploring new ideas or situations, as long as they align with my own values and desires.

I can be sexy or I could be sad
I am a multifaceted individual with a range of moods and emotions.

And bad just to be sweet, what a treat
I may surprise others with unexpected decisions or behaviors, but that is simply a reflection of my autonomy and self-ownership.

It is to be
I embrace and celebrate my own identity and experiences, even if they differ from societal norms or expectations.

Nonbinary, ma chérie
My identity is nonbinary, and I am proud to express myself in ways that reflect that reality.

Tee hee, bitch
I am confident and joyful in my own existence, and refuse to let others bring me down or diminish my spirit.
