10 Commandments Lyrics

[00:06.43] The Commandments of I, Saffiyah Khan
[00:23.83] Thou shall not listen to Prince Buster
[00:26.28] Or any other man offering kindly advice
[00:29.35] In matters of my own conduct
[00:35.49] You may call me a feminazi or a femoid
[00:38.74] And then see if I give a stinking shit
[00:48.89] Pseudo-intellectuals on the internet
[00:52.07] They tell me I'm unhappy because I'm not feminine
[00:56.28] Failing to consider that I may be unhappy
[00:59.98] Because it's 3 AM and I'm in the depths of YouTube
[01:03.80] Watching them... whining
[01:13.03] Thou may catcall me on the street
[01:15.47] But thou should take note that I'll catcall you right back
[01:20.06] To tell you that you look pretty sexy too in your joggers
[01:23.06] Or your suit, or your new-found look of confusion
[01:43.21] Girls should not turn on each other
[01:45.34] Or use man-made ideals like paths
[01:49.52] Don't you realize that you're only making a fool of yourself
[01:52.37] When you ask... "Why don't you wear makeup?"
[01:56.01] Is that what it takes to impress a bloke
[01:57.85] Whose brain is made up of promises of curvy size zeros
[02:02.08] And anti-gravity tits?
[02:16.44] Thou shall not tell a girl she deserved it
[02:19.59] Because her skirt was too short
[02:22.55] She walked home, streets lights illuminating her as a target
[02:27.16] But she started it, because she looked at him
[02:32.62] And he finished it 'cause he wanted to
[02:35.38] And they'll bring out her skirt as "exhibit A" before the judge
[02:40.37] And she should have the right to say
[02:42.79] "Thou shall not tell me what to wear
[02:48.21] Nor how to wear it"
[03:06.50] I shall not be the icing on your cake
[03:11.52] And I shall not be the candy on your arm
[03:17.69] But I shall be seen
[03:21.36] And I will be heard
[03:25.02] The commandments of I, Saffiyah Khan
[03:42.43] Pseudo-intellectuals
[03:46.65]
