If I was flat chested


if i was flat chested i wouldn't be questioned

when i left the house my nerves they wouldn't be tested 

when i wear a dress it wouldn't be a controversy

i wouldn't be pulled aside and asked to cover up 

ignorant comments would'nt fill my ears about the size of my cup 

"why you go that face for when you walkin aroud?" 

because men have turned walking into something i fear now 

if i was flat chested my life would be different 

i could wear anything and it would be classy 

but because i have big boobs i can apparently make anythig trashy

a dress code wouldn't affect me , it wouldn't make me feel ike i'm being talked at directly

if i was flat chested undershirts would be acceptable atire

but sice i'm not i'm looked down on 

wrapping up so i look smaller has been somthing i've thought on 

but i wouldnt change my appearance because that would be unfortnate

if i was flat chested things would certainly change 

i wouldn't have to watch what i wear or watch what I buy 

i wouldn't have to "be carful outside"

why couldn't you teach your sons to act right?

why'd you have to go and teach your daughters to tolerate and just be carful at night?

if i was flat chested it wouldn't matter cause i'm not 

sometimes i get so red i look tan 

ignorance can just make me so mad 

dont even get me started on if i was a man...
