well, what are these tests?
they're designed to never let minds rest
one day you're depressed, another, you're obsessed
your face is a mess, body, take a guess
exact measurements, no more or less
the ruler from your ass to your fucking chest
oh, before I date, you need to wait
how good do you taste? how big is your waist?
how much money do you make?
I'll do it 'till you shake, how much can you take?
what's your fucking makeup shade?
now, let's see the space between your eyes
and your thighs, do you lie? Are you shy?
ew, you're dramatic, on autopilot, automatic
somehow too frantic, why are your calls static?
full of need, hungry with greed, that's what it's called--
when you're a woman
now let's check-- blond with blue eyes?
thunder thighs? Ain't no catfish, ain't no lie?
small waist, big chest, big ass, small hands?
big doe sapphires, long lashes, no body hair?
what's under clothing layers? Do you care?
can you share? Soft skin, sweat free?
why are you running from me? A doll at the mall--
for someone to admire
you better have freckles, perfect white teeth
all standards you better meet, then you're a treat
Filipino, American, well, what's our taste in men?
height
oh no, that's not something to control
shoot and miss the fucking goal
strip and dance and put on a show
for us to hunger and thirst like wolves
when will you change?
until we protest and engage?
sluts and bitches, what's in the kitchen?
you act like a woman
talk like a woman
good job! Working like a man
but after all--
it's Adam and Eve
not Eve or Adam...

An eggcellently good day to you! I have come here for Team Egg so let’s see what you have for us now!
That already feels so good (in a rhythm sense, the content, well, heavy topic but cool way to wrap it in!)Well well well, we meet again, Catz awesome lyrics! I am already excited just from the description!
Oh I like the implied pause/drop in this line:
Ohhaaa I always figured it was the men being conscious about how much money they made during dating. I know your lyrics are focused on the anger of women (of all straits of life) but I guess this just makes me think this is a universal experience!
(Btw I just… I really like each line so far. They work so well together; I really, really love all the songs you write!)
“why are your calls static?“ Hm what does that mean tho? It makes me think of spotty connection… of being unable to understand each other due to outside interference.
!!!!
The way height is not capitalized and in its own separate line. Ohhh I can feel the criticism! Very good!
And this:
Together with this: works so well to summarise the issue. It makes me think of gender blurring together (which should be a good thing!) but the society surrounding this change refuses to go with it, refuses to accept the shift and so, you are still stuck acting out your assigned roles while being forced to take on the others.
Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you so much!! Sorry for the late response! The static refers to being blocked, although it can work either ways xD
Thank you so much for your interpretation of it! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Oh wow, this is amazing. It's not often I see rap songs in the green room, so I just had to read this. I honestly just wanted to start rapping out loud because it flows so well.
I can really feel the anger in this piece, the passion and experience behind it really shine through. I feel very similar, and you've managed to put into words something a lot of probably feel but don't know how to say.
I love the first stanza, especially, however I feel like the use of 'fucking' kinda threw me off beat.
However it might flow better as 'the fucking ruler from your ass to your chest' or just without the word at all. It's not that I don't like the swearing - it really lends to the tone - but i think it just throws the rhythm off a bit.
I think some of the stanzas being shorter also throw the rhythm off a bit, but I might just be rapping it in my head differently to how you intended.
I'd love to hear someone make a beat for this and then actually rap it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for reviewing! And taking a look xD
I agree that some words feel out of place, I’ll try to go with the syllable count next time! Thank you so much again!! <33
