Hindsight, judgment, and a good Spotify list.
Damn sis,
What's he really telling you?
What kind of signals,
Kind of message,
Kind of front 'n center
is he giving you?
What kind of person does he really see?
Damn sis,
"hold yourself accountable",
"open yourself up,"
but all the while
you're a whiny little bitch
and you need his saving sucker.
Well,
what kind of person does he really see?
Damn sis,
you'll never be the perfect rib,
perfect soldier,
perfect mate,
and that's just the whole gospel truth,
and that's just life,
and "that's just how he was raised,"
and all the little hard wires stay put.
So,
what kind of person does he really see?
Damn sis,
you can't be all that brilliant.
You can't be all that special.
You can't decipher left
from right,
nor up
from down.
The perfect little scatterbrain,
the joke.
So,
tell me–
what kind of person does he really see?
