Iconic
SkyDxddy Lyrics

Wonder what you think of me now
I wonder what your current opinion of me is

Wonder if I'll let you down down
I hope I don't disappoint you

Wonder what you think of me now
I wonder if your opinion of me has changed

Wonder if I'll turn around round
I hope I won't change for the worse

This is for the ladies who are more
I'm speaking to women who have depth beyond their appearance

Than what they seem
There is more to them than meets the eye

The ones who wake up everyday
I'm referring to women who put effort into their appearance

And paint there face with pretty things
They use makeup to enhance their appearance

Just to be able to compete
They do this to match society's unrealistic beauty standards

With unrealistic expectations
Standards of beauty that are difficult or impossible to achieve

The obligations of a woman
The societal expectations on women to look a certain way

That just wants some validation
Women crave acceptance and recognition for their efforts

Were brought up on the lie
We were taught a falsehood

That our women aren't sacred
Women are not valued as they should be

Just procreators that God gave us
Women are only valued for their ability to have children

Nothin but baby makers
Society only values women for their ability to have children

But its mind over materialism
What truly matters is a person's character, not their appearance

Thats what they should've told us
Women need to be taught that their innate worth is not based on their beauty

We don't even grow up
Society never really lets women truly mature

We just live to get older
Women are expected to age without fully realizing their potential

Its all a game and I'm folding
This system is rigged and I'm tired of participating

This caked up face is just a mask
Makeup is used to conceal insecurities

Im sick of the liner and lashes
I'm tired of constantly having to enhance my appearance

This lipgloss tastes like ass
I don't even like the products I use, but feel the need to wear them

Go ahead and ask me why I do it
You can ask me why I wear makeup

You wont believe me anyway
You likely won't understand my reasoning

But women are in competition
Women feel the need to compete with each other based on appearance

Almost every single day
This competition is almost constant

Impossible bodies are displayed for all to see
The media showcases unrealistic body standards

Picture perfect figures
Society expects a perfect body type

But looks can deceive
Appearances are not always reflective of a person's worth or character

Its like your buying the right
You're paying to be able to say you fit society's beauty standards

To say yeah they wish they were me
You can say others envy your appearance

While your just chasing after something
In reality, you are just trying to fit in

You may never achieve
These beauty standards are often impossible to attain

Who's to say whats beautiful
Beauty is subjective

Why cant we love ourselves
We struggle to accept and love ourselves due to societal pressure

Who decides perfection
Perfection is an arbitrary standard, decided by society

Why do we so seldom ask for help
We are unable to recognize our own insecurities or seek assistance in addressing them

Why are we defined by the bodies that were born in
We are judged and valued based on physical traits we have no control over

Why does no one warn us of all the fingers they be pointing
We are subjected to constant scrutiny and criticism

Tell me where is the love in all this self hatred
We are taught to hate ourselves, rather than love and accept ourselves

The truth is no one knows happiness
Happiness is a subjective experience that cannot be fully understood by others

So they try and fake it
Many people pretend to be happy to fit in or meet societal expectations

You can't tell me that I'm wrong
I know my own experiences and feelings

When Ive seen in repeatedly
I have witnessed others going through similar experiences

Were all buying fake smiles
We pretend to be happy for the sake of appearances

While dying inside secretly
Despite pretending to be happy, we may actually be struggling internally

I seen a woman recently
I met a woman recently

She was crying and in pain
She was visibly upset

When I ask her what was wrong she said
I inquired as to what was troubling her

Its never gonna change
She sees no hope for improvement or acceptance

I'll never be enough
She feels like she will never live up to societal standards

Im so scrawny and so plain
She feels like she is unattractive due to her body type

And I looked her in her eyes
I made eye contact with her

That were a beautiful sparkling green
Her eyes were a captivating and unique feature

And I told her It'd be fine
I reassured her that things would improve

Fuck the ones they compare you to
I encouraged her to not worry about those who judge her based on appearance

Theres never gonna be another one
You are unique and irreplaceable

Another you
There is no one else exactly like you

And thats something you hold onto
Hold onto the knowledge that you are special

And listen when I tell you girl
Pay attention to my words

While everyone will change themselves
Others may alter their appearances to fit in

You'll change the fucking world
You will make a positive impact on the world due to your unique attributes
