lyrics

Either you assume that there’s something wrong
Or you believe I’m here for pleasing you
Did nobody teach you how to hold your tongue?
I’m no damsel I need no rescue
If you don’t like my face take your eyes off my face
Your micro aggressing is nothing new

Smile smile smile smile for me
I’m not here for you and I don’t owe you anything
Smile smile smile smile for me
I’m not here for you and I don’t owe you anything

Who’s making all of these rules round here?
About how a woman is supposed to be
Listen close while I make something clear
Your opinion means eff all to me
Don’t criticise my face, take your eyes off my face
You don’t deserve a vision so lovely as me

Man on the train
Man in the club
Man on the street
Man in the bar
Man in the shop (jerk chicken shop)
Man in my face
Man on the bus
Man all over the place
Man in the club Man in the club
Man in the club Man in the club
Man on the street
Man in the bar
Man on the bus
Man in my face
Man all over the place

No, no, no
Were not having it
No no no no
Leave it
Yo listen up
Do you understand?

I’m not here I’m not here for you
I say I’m not here I’m not here for you
So don’t tell me what to effing do
Because I’m not here I’m not here for you

I’m not here to please or to pleasure you
I am not here to entertain you
So don’t tell me what to effing do
Because I’m not here I’m not here for you

I’m no here for you
No no no no no
