Speak Up
Location
Bitch
Slut
Skank
Whore
These are the words we hear everyday
Yet do nothing about!
Gorgeous
Beautiful
Amazing
Fantastic
When was the last time you heard that come out of his mouth
When was the last time you heard it come out of anyone’s mouth?
I can tell you when
When they want something
When they need something
Or when they are hitting on you hoping to score!
Sexy
Desirable
Hot
Perfect
These words I hear on commercials everyday
But why?
Why!
It doesn’t have all the types of sexy
All the types of desirable
All the types of hot
And they dame sure don’t have all the types of perfect!
But we watch (Stop)
And don’t speak (Speak up)
Don’t cover our ears (Cover them up)
Don’t turn it off (Throw it away)
We just wait (Move)
And listen (Ignore)
And watch (Close your eyes)
We don’t speak up for the cause (Speak)
We tell our children you are beautiful (You are)
But don’t tell the producers to show someone else (Please remove it)
I am so sick of seeing the leggy blonds
The skinny twigs with no meat
Give them a hamburger and let them eat!
You say I have no right to be offended
Because I am small and petit (That’s me)
I am short (Get over it)
I have a small waist (Not my fault)
I have a big chest (I won’t apologize)
I was born this way
Why should I complain?
Because when was the last time you showed a girl like me on TV
When was the last time you showed a girl who was an 8 on TV
Or how about a 28
Oh I know when
And you do too
I don’t have to say it (Stop making others feel bad for looking different)
You try and say you are just
But all I say is you are fake (You are fake)
I see what you do to those girls (Photoshop)
No one on TV even looks like themselves
You who approved the ad
Do you
Or do you look like me
Or like you eat some meat
Are you a size 00
Or are you 10?
From 00 to 100
You are beautiful whatever your number (You are beautiful)
Because you are not a number (Not a number)
But you approve it when it gets to the number you think is right (Wrong on you)
I’m not afraid to speak the truth but are you
Because at the end of the day I wear that number 5
But that number at the end of the day does not wear me!
