Icon For Hire - Now You Know lyrics

Seems like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Woah You see me s**ist believe me I get it We'd probably sell more records if I flaunted my a** and chest but forget it I work like one of the boys and I'm as true as they get But I'm a lady through and through like give me some credit I knew I'd regret it If I tried to blend and pretend be something other than I am Like have you noticed I'm a woman Didn't come to downplay it or to play it up either And I'm not tryna pick a fight or be nobody's leader But it feels like everybody's just a little too interested In the fact that females can indeed make music Our interviews our bios they only get a point Female fronted band from Decatur Illinois And just once I'd like to see some other bands resume Go out of the way to say they're fronted by a male okay And while we're on it let me say Women don't all sound the same Who gave us the idea that female fronted was a genre anyways? Seems like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Woah Wanna make it disappear Tell em what they wanna hear If the truth ain't pretty when you ask me anyways You love me love me LA And I know it's not fair and I can't complain Cause with a girl in our band people don't look away But you know what it feels like they look just a little too long Stare me up and down forget to listen to the song I take the stage and before I even open my mouth The audience a**umes that they got us all figured out Oh your bands got a chick Must be some kind of trick There's no way she got this far without s**in somebody's- Did you really think that's how it works I'm not f**ing eye candy I'm here to do my job I'll be the last man standing Boys in the crowd asking for me to flash em Well here you go newsflash you're ignorant and that's that I bet you'd never say that to your little sister The medias got you all jacked up little mister Cause girls in my position can perpetuate the cycle Walking on a tight rope don't know which way to go Hyper s**ualize or downplay your femininity Dress like the dudes or pray to God that you're pretty Are you kidding me? I don't even know who's to blame Beauty sells I'll buy it too I'll try and sell it back to you Seems like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Woah Wanna make it disappear Tell em what they wanna hear If the truth ain't pretty when you ask me anyways You love me love me LA So tell me what's a woman to do Scratch that tell me what's a human being to do with the fact that What gets us ahead holds us back more Is a level playing field too much to ask for? And I know that by sayin it I'm bringing attention to an issue that might be better left unmentioned But someone's gotta say it gotta call up the scene The scene is obscene, my sanity is split at the seams So that all of y'all making this just about a** and tits We're here to set the record straight it don't gotta be this way We can change the game rearrange the way to fame Make a bigger deal about the talent than the face See I got little girls watchin me wanting to be like me I wanna show em they don't gotta be like me They can do their own thing They can rewrite the rules They can get respect without acting like fools So let's not make it harder than it has to be I'll keep making music you stop asking me What's it like to be a girl in the entertainment world Cause now you know Seems like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Woah Wanna make it disappear Tell em what they wanna hear If the truth ain't pretty when you ask me anyways You love me love me LA Seems like everywhere I go Everybody wanna know What's it like to be a girl in the music world Woah Wanna make it disappear Tell em what they wanna hear If the truth ain't pretty when you ask me anyways You love me love me LA
