Build A Bitch
Bella Poarch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This ain't Build-A-Bitch (a bitch)
You don't get to pick and choose
Different ass and bigger boobs
If my eyes are brown or blue
This ain't Build-A-Bitch (a bitch)
I'm filled with flaws and attitude
So if you need perfect, I'm not built for you (yeah)
Bob the Builder broke my heart
Told me I need fixing
Said that I'm just nuts and bolts
Lotta parts were missing
Curvy like a cursive font
Virgin and a vixen
That's the kind of girl he wants
But he forgot

This ain't Build-A-Bitch (a bitch)
You don't get to pick and choose
Different ass and bigger boobs
If my eyes are brown or blue
This ain't Build-A-Bitch (a bitch)
I'm filled with flaws and attitude
So if you need perfect, I'm not built for you
(One, two, three, ooh)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Boys are always playing dolls
Looking for their Barbie
They don't look like Ken at all
Hardly have a heartbeat
Need someone who falls apart
So he can play Prince Charming
If that's the kind of girl he wants
Then he forgot

This ain't Build-A-Bitch (a bitch)
You don't get to pick and choose
Different ass and bigger boobs
If my eyes are brown or blue
This ain't Build-A-Bitch (a bitch)
I'm filled with flaws and attitude
So if you need perfect, I'm not built for you
(One, two, three, ooh)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la




La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Overall Meaning

In "Build a Bitch," Bella Poarch declares that she's not a malleable object that can be customized and assembled like a doll in the Build-A-Bear Workshop. The song criticizes society's unrealistic standards for beauty and acceptance, suggesting that nobody is perfect, and trying to be is unrealistic and unnecessary. The song rejects the expectation that women should conform to specific and narrow norms of beauty and behavior. Poarch highlights that she is not perfect and doesn't need to be perfect to be loved as she says, "I'm filled with flaws and attitude / So if you need perfect, I'm not built for you." The song also spotlights the societal pressure and the unrealistic expectations that men have for women to be perfect, as she sings "Boys are always playing dolls / Looking for their Barbie / They don't look like Ken at all / Hardly have a heartbeat."


In the opening verse, Bella compares herself to a doll that can’t be "built" to anyone's liking. She is being hurt by a guy who thinks he needs to "fix" her. He suggests that she is "nuts and bolts" and "missing parts," prompting her to think about the ideal girl that he is looking for. She criticized him for that and tells him that, "this ain't Build-A-Bitch (a bitch)," flipping the narrative and asserting control over her body, identity, and choices.


In the chorus, Bella makes it clear that she won't allow anyone to mold or shape her to fit their preferences. She asserts that she is "filled with flaws and attitude" - a human being with personality and substance - not some plastic toy. She reminds people that perfection is not realistic or necessary, stating, "If you need perfect, I'm not built for you."


Overall, "Build a Bitch" is a feminist anthem that encourages women to embrace their imperfection and reject the societal pressures to conform to narrow and unrealistic beauty standards.
