Out Of Eden Showpiece Lyrics

Showpiece Lyrics

Yo, I don't appreciate you telling me the way that I should live 
No, I think
the choices you've laid out for me, the end is negative 
So, take all your
imagery and ideology, yes I'll be fine 
When you go, I'd rather not display
my physical I'd rather use my mind 
You act like all I 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 

Ohhh, I
don't need you to define my b-e-a-u-t-y 
I'd rather draw the line 
Ohhh,
I don't need you on my team, what you've selling is a pipe dream 
And I
don't need it baby 

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 
This day, somewhere we've lost the value of what
a woman is supposed to be 
A queen, respected and defined by her creator,
size 24, 10, or size 3 
You act like all I 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 

It's my choice and I
will decide, I won't let you destroy my pride 
I'm no showpiece for you to
hide, and lose all that I am inside 
God made me and I'm beautiful, I won't
dress like that kind of girl 
R-e-s-p-e-c-t see, that's the way that you got
to look at me
