Fierce
Wear that dress
The one the wind threatens to expose
That sinkissed sweet upper thigh
Girl, blast those legs
The ones they say make you look like the whore
Your mother says you ought not
But you do it anyway
Makes you feel fierce
The way that you love you
Is an incredible feat
In a world that tells you to hide your fierce
You don’t want to make others uncomfortable with themselves
Maybe if the world had more girls like you
They could love themselves more
Judge themselves less
The one the wind threatens to expose
That sinkissed sweet upper thigh
Girl, blast those legs
The ones they say make you look like the whore
Your mother says you ought not
But you do it anyway
Makes you feel fierce
The way that you love you
Is an incredible feat
In a world that tells you to hide your fierce
You don’t want to make others uncomfortable with themselves
Maybe if the world had more girls like you
They could love themselves more
Judge themselves less
