Holy
The Baby Namboos Lyrics

I am a whore so I sleep with boys
I engage in sexual activity with men for money or other benefits

It isn't nice I chose this life
I acknowledge that my choices and actions are not morally admirable

They're all suckers
The men I sleep with are foolish for paying for sex

I live the life I pay the price
I accept the consequences of my lifestyle and actions

Ask my mother
My family and upbringing may have shaped my decisions and values

But there you stand morally unscathed
You criticize my actions from a hypocritical and morally superior position

Telling me how to behave
You pass judgment and impose your moral standards on me

I'm the sinner
I recognize that I have acted against traditional moral codes

I'm not the girl I used to be
I have changed and evolved, but I still acknowledge my past actions

But I am holy
Despite my actions and mistakes, I still hold value and worth

I don't need to go to church
My sense of personal value and worth does not come from religion or traditional morality

'cause I am holy
I am enough and valuable on my own, without external validation

I don't need to preach your dirt
I don't need to impose your potentially corrupt or misguided values on others

I don't need to go to school
I don't need formal education or traditional standards to validate my worth

I don't need to read your rules
I don't need to follow traditional moral codes or societal norms to be a valuable person

Call me sinner I don't care
I am not defined by others' judgments or labels

I won't let you take me there
I won't succumb to societal pressures or expectations to change myself

Life's a see-saw, see-saw
Life is full of ups and downs, constantly shifting and changing

What the hell do you take me for
I won't be reduced to your narrow perceptions or assumptions about me

God's out still throwing stones
Even religious or socially accepted moral codes are flawed and hypocritical

All your man-made gods and your guilded thrones
Traditional structures of authority or belief are flawed and obscured by wealth and power

Under no illusion
I am realistic and honest about myself and my limitations

I reserve the right to be incorrect sometimes
I am not perfect and can make mistakes or misjudgements

Teach my future what you want
I don't let societal expectations dictate how I live my life

Money would cease when I was sleepin' in the early morn
My value and worth cannot be reduced to material possessions or societal standards

When they were plannin' out my destiny
Even the plans or expectations others have for me do not define my worth or future

Money was saved to see what they'd invest in me
Even monetary investments do not define my true value or potential

Save us from our sins
Religious or societal expectations of redemption are flawed and misguided

Old school, bell's hell
Traditional education or societal expectations can be oppressive and harmful

This reminds me of the smell
These experiences evoke negative or unpleasant memories

I'm the guarantee of the whole think-up
I am a valuable and integral part of the world and society

Takin' newer heights
I am constantly evolving and growing

New heights lose attention
Even growth and progress can have downsides and drawbacks

You're thinkin' you need another dimension
Society and individuals are constantly searching for new ways to validate themselves and their worth

How to plant your seeds
I have learned important lessons about personal growth and self-improvement

And watch them die, then grow
Learning and growth involves trial and error, and some failure and setbacks are inevitable

As I'm lookin' toward the prison yard
I am aware of societal expectations and judgement, and the potential consequences of nonconformity

I was lookin' for a little hope
I have faced struggles and adversity, and have sought hope and positivity despite it

When he was livin' a dream
Others may have had more privileged or fortunate lives than me

And the others smote
Others may have tried to bring me down or judge me for my choices

Take a look at yourself
Instead of judging or imposing standards on others, focus on your own flaws and growth

When you was sinnin' I was climbing trees
I have been working on my own growth and development, while you may have been engaging in harmful or negative behavior

Yes we are holy
We all hold inherent value and worth as human beings

Sinners you don't know me
Labels and assumptions about others are flawed and incomplete

So don't tell me I'm not holy
Others cannot define or diminish my worth or value
