[Verse 1]
Red dress, too tight, lipstick's criminal
God bless the internet’s opinions, they're biblical
Smile sweet, but don't look like you’re trying
They say I asked for it just by existing, I'm not even cryin'
He called me smart, but ‘too self-aware'
Said if I post in lingerie, I must not care
About women's rights or what's going on
But I read bell hooks in my thong
[Pre-Chorus]
Boys get praised for every phase
I hit a nerve just tryna slay
If I'm confident, I must be fake
They can't spell nuance, but have so much to say
[Chorus]
You can’t be bangablе and a feminist at the same timе
It’s just not possible (that's what they say online)
Pick a lane, wear a turtleneck, or be the headline
Either I’m a saint or I'm the joke
He likes me until I talk, then he thinks I should choke
Guess I'm too bangable to have a goddamn mind
[Verse 2]
Pulled my skirt down just to pull it back up
They still think your worth is based on how you shut up
Wear heels, but don't act too tall
Don’t know if I'm a girl or a crime at the mall
I flirt and they say I'm playing a game
But when I ghost them, I'm the one who's insane
Ask for respect and you get ignored
But send one tit pic and you're “askin' for it”
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stay soft, I'm not strong
If I go hard, I must be wrong
Make me their muse, then write me off
As soon as I say I've had enough
[Chorus]
You can't be bangable and a feminist at the same time
It's just not possible (unless you're a guy)
Smile for the pics, but don't monetize
Take the compliment, not the prizeee
They want a woman they can undress and define
Guess I'm too bangable to cross their moral line
[Bridge]
Sorry that my body speaks before I do
Sorry that my outfit makes you feel unglued
Sorry that I'm everything you say I can't be
And still sleep great knowing you can't cancel me
[Spoken Word]
“She's just using feminism as a way to post thirst traps.”
Okay, babe. And you're just using Wi-Fi to be wrong in HD
[Chorus]
You can't be bangable and a feminist at the same time
That's the misogyny's favorite lie
But I'll be sexy and smart and complex and loud
If that's too much, then turn me down
I'm not here to make your morals align
I'm bangable and I speak my damn mind
[Outro]
(Yeah, you wish I was just pretty…)
Bangable and too smart to be your fantasy
