Colour Me Bad
Brooks Lyrics

Old bitch new bitch
No matter what people may label or categorize me, I remain confident and undeterred.

Young bitch rude bitch
I refuse to adhere to society's expectations of how a young woman should behave and speak.

Call me what you want
I am unconcerned with the labels and names people try to pin on me, as I am secure in my own identity.

I'm a still be a cool bitch
Regardless of what people may think of me, I know that I am still confident, competent, and able to have fun in life.

Rough Shit Tough shit
Despite facing adversity and obstacles in life, I have the toughness and resilience to keep pushing forward.

Nobody wants to fuck with
I exude a vibe of self-assurance and strength that makes others not want to cross me and take advantage of me.

Bad Bitches Like Me
I am unapologetically who I am--a strong, confident woman with her own sense of style and attitude.

Minding my own Business
I go about my own life and pursuits without bothering or harming others.

But you still got opinions
Despite my minding my own business, others still feel the need to judge and criticize me.

You say that I'm so
Some people may begrudgingly give me recognition for my talents and skills.

Brilliant When I do my thing
When I am fully in my element and expressing myself freely, I shine with brilliance and uniqueness.

Just change a little bit
However, these same people will then try to mold me to fit their expectations and desires.

You cant put me in market
I refuse to be reduced and commodified to meet the demands of others and society in general.

This ain't even your department
People need to back off and stop trying to control aspects of my life that are really none of their business.

I'm just so sick of all these men stuck in 1982
I am fed up with the patriarchal, outdated culture that still pervades much of society today.

Try to mold me into dollars Telling me what I should do
Instead of seeing me as an individual with my own unique qualities and aspirations, people only see me as a means to make money or a tool to shape into their desired form.

You wanna tone me down
People may try to quiet my voice and make me less bold and expressive in order to make me more palatable to society.

Maybe even change my sound
Others may try to alter my personal preferences and tastes so that I fit better into their view of how women should behave and present themselves.

Put me a box label me and drag me down
By putting me into categories and boxes, others try to strip me of my individuality and make me conform to their expectations.

I don't care about your money
I refuse to be controlled by others who try to use money as a way to exert power and influence over me.

I can buy my own damn crown
I am capable of achieving success and respect on my own terms, without needing the approval or validation of others.

You don't have to like it honey
There will always be people who don't approve of or appreciate my personality and lifestyle, and that's okay.

But its time to get behind it, boy
Instead of fighting against who I am, people need to accept me for who I am and support me in my endeavors.

I'll just be myself
I will always stay true to who I am as an individual, no matter what influences or pressures I face from society.

Everybody quit complaining
Instead of trying to tear me down or alter me, others should focus on their own lives and let me live mine in peace.
