1.
Take the heat or get out... Hold your own Becomes a little more convoluted when there is such a clear divide Muscle mass defines involvement Aggressive boys' club Stuck on the sidelines Aggressive boys' club You speak in body language And I've got the message loud and clear Muscle mass defines involvement Aggressive boys' club Stuck on the sidelines Aggressive boys' club Pushed behind speakers Aggressive boys' club Take the heat or... Aggressive boys' club
2.
Tally 00:23
I try to phoneticize marginalized for you While you make a pissing contest out of abuse Sit and tally some score And pick yourself as the winner It doesn't work that way
3.
University activists brush off ideas of inclusiveness And create hierarchies No longer welcome in your club, "No one needs to be that extreme" Your attitudes get nothing done Hard answers for hard times Count me out
4.
Anatomy 00:59
So much I want to say Anxious to unpack all the (self)hatred and guilt Heartbroken girl... But it's not as simple as that... It's a lifetime of damage and conditioning Rearing its ugly head If I killed myself tomorrow... They'd chalk it up to this
5.
Double Life 01:57
A confusing dichotomy in the jobs I work How do gender roles factor in when you are a pretend mom and a faux wife? "Do you feel empowered? Do you feel fulfilled?" Are the questions I hear How do I reconcile? Presumed that co-workers from one job were clients from another once I don't look in the eyes of a neglected child and a middle-aged sex worker And see the same person It's not the same old story It's just a job Close your eyes Take a breath, release
6.
Fifteen 01:17
No way to live Troubled teen taken to a whole new level You had problems? Low self-esteem? Wonder why she's cutting? Fall from grace; What the fuck does that mean? Destroy the body, to match the mind "I'm dying. I can't keep living like this."
7.
Racist fashion trends straight from native-American Apparel Dov Charney: misogynist? Genius! Should have know racial stereotypes were the new black What's next?
8.
Tied Down 01:07
Jealousy and insecurities Do not warrant this disrespect for my boundaries I don't want to be your "everything" 'Pure gold baby;' That's unhealthy Possessive Caged bird? Fuck that I won't be tied down
9.
Anxiety 01:45
Anxiety stricken And coffee-fueled, my stomach sinks And I wonder why I'm here Periodic stress for higher learning Nose in the books, hand in the cookie jar
