She always wanted to look at a man the way Barbie looked at Ken

Preconceived notions of what future relations will be 

Never did she think the disgusting things she would hear and see

Shows, tell her that boys are supposed to be equal and kind

But as she got older she sees that it's all a lie

Rappers nowadays talk about how a man's body is more free than a womans is

The thought is sweet and kind

But he’ll never understand the pressure and fear we hide

No man will ever understand the fear that is hidden behind her eyes

The catcalling started when she was young

She never understood the words that dripped like poison on their tongues

She went jogging with a friend in a blue tank top

Never did she think she had to go home and stop

Next time she went out she placed a baggie hoodie over her

Hoping next time it would cause their thoughts to defer

As frightened as she was

This wasn't the first incident that occured

She soon had to cover up other parts of herself

Since boys seemed to think they could touch her without consent

That women were like barbie dolls that can be shifted and
