Not Beautiful Enough
Nov.47 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
c pretty young girl, she's excited to play a doctor
But the director had to stop her and turn her away because
She got freckles on her face
Her hair is really frizzy and she's chubby in the waist, a cutie
But they were looking for a beauty, not her
So she went home took the makeup off her face
cnd ate a bowl of ice cream feeling her disgrace in the mirror
She wasn't beautiful enough
She didn't have the right proportions
She needs someone to build her up
She needs a drastic change in fortune
She wasn't beautiful enough
She's ashamed of her race
Too much melanin clouding up her face, a human
But she felt more like a demon
No Love, so she said things that a human wouldn't say
cnd she did things just to push others away, she's hurting
Becoming very disconcerting
Someone told her, “Keep quiet ‘cause you got nothing to say
You'll only cause trouble so just stay out of the way
You're worthless”
Just because
You're just not beautiful enough
Your hair don't hang down to your bottom
You need a man to build you up
You're not a princess, you're a problem
You're just not beautiful enough
You could believe what they say about you
Or you could use it like a stepping stone
It's like the fuel for the fire in you
cnd when it's burning you're forever strong
You ain't gotta listen to whatever they say
You ain't gotta try to do whatever they do
You are not the problem don't be taken for a fool
Because you're beautiful enough
I know sometimes the system fails ya
But all you need is to stand up
Don't matter if anyone tells ya
Because you're beautiful enough
The lyrics of Nov.47's song "Not Beautiful Enough" tell the story of a young girl who auditions for a movie but is rejected because she doesn't fit society's standard of beauty. The first verse describes how the director turns her away, pointing out her freckles, frizzy hair, and chubby waist as reasons she doesn't meet their expectations. The girl goes home feeling ashamed and eats a bowl of ice cream, reflecting on her perceived disgrace in the mirror.
The second verse delves deeper into the girl's feelings of inadequacy. She carries the weight of being ashamed of her race, feeling that her melanin clouds up her face. This leads her to act out, saying and doing things to push others away and hurting herself in the process. Someone tells her that she's worthless and should stay out of the way, further reinforcing the belief that she's not beautiful enough.
However, the chorus offers a shift in perspective. It encourages the girl to defy the negative opinions and judgments of others. The lyrics suggest that she can choose to believe in herself and use the criticisms as motivation to grow stronger. It emphasizes that she doesn't need to conform to societal standards or listen to the hurtful words directed at her because she is already beautiful enough.
Overall, "Not Beautiful Enough" addresses society's narrow definitions of beauty and the damaging impact it can have on individuals' self-esteem. It highlights the importance of self-acceptance and resilience in the face of external judgment.
