[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Yo, I don't appreciate you telling me
[C]The way tha[Am]t I should liv[Dm]e
[Am]No, I think the choices
you've laid out for me
The end is negative

[Verse 2]
[Am]So, take all your imagery and ideology
Yes I'll be fine
When you go I'd rather not
display my physical
[Dm]I'd rather use [Am]my mind, oh

[Verse 3]
You act like all I [Am]am to be is,
just a sexy, sexy thing
Just a showpiece for all to see like
a Bently or your diamond ring
I know that I am more than that,
don't believe the hype
The One who made the stars
and sun gave meaning to my life

[Verse 4]
[Am]Oh, I don't need you to define my
be- [Dm]E- A- you- [Am]T- why
I'd rather draw the line
Oh, I don't need you on my team,
what you're selling's a pipe dream
[Dm]And I do[Am]n't need it, baby

[Verse 5]
[Am]Hey, it seems a shame to me
I've been reduced
To an object of lust and hate
No way, please understand
that I refuse to be
Simply a height and weight

[Verse 6]
This [Am]day, somewhere we've lost the value
Of what a woman is sup[Dm]posed [Am]to be
A queen, respected and
defined by her creator
Size 24, size 10 or size 3
[Dm]You act like all I

[Verse 7]
am to be [Am]is,
just a sexy, sexy thing
[Dm]Just a showpiece for all to see like
[Am]a Bently or your [Dm]diamond ring
I know that I am more than that,
[Am]don't believe the hype
The [Dm]One who made the stars and sun
gave [Am]meaning to my [E]life[Am]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Oh, I don't need you to define
my be- E- A- you- T- why
[Dm]I'd [Am]rather draw the line
Oh, [Dm]I don't need you[Am] on my team,
what you're selling's a pipe dream
And I don't need [Dm]it, baby[Am]

[Verse 9]
It's my choice and I [Dm]will decide,
[F]I won't let you dest[Dm]roy my p[Am]ride
I'm no showpiece for [Dm]you to hide
[F]and lose all [Am]that I am inside
God made me and I'm [Dm]beautiful,
[F]I won't dress like that k[Am]ind of girl
Are- E- S- P- E- [Dm]see- T, see,
[F]that's the way that you [Am]got to look at me

[Verse 10]
It's my choice and I [Dm]will decide,
[F]I won't let you dest[Dm]roy my pride
[Am]I'm no showpiece for y[Dm]ou to hide
and lose all [Am]that I am inside
God made me and I'm [Dm]beautiful,
[F]I won't dress like that k[Am]ind of girl
Are- E- S- P- E- [Dm]see- T, see,
that's the way [F]that you [Am]got [E]to look [Am]at me

[Verse 11]
[Am]Oh, [F]I don't need you[Am] to define
my be- [Dm]E- A- you- T- [F]why
I'd rather [Am]draw the line
Oh, [Dm]I don't need you[Am] on my team,
what [Dm]you're selling's a pipe dream
And [F]I d[Dm]on't need i[Am]t, baby

[Outro 1]
