Do you remember back in the day
when Christine used to harmonise?
Guys you know you'd better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
It's been three weeks since you were looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
'Member when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamins?
You act like you ain't hear him, then give him a little trim
To begin, how you think you're really gon' pretend
Like you wasn't down and you called him again?
Plus, when you give it up so easy you ain't even foolin' him
If you did it then, then you'd probably do it again
Talking out your neck, sayin' you're a Christian
A Muslim, sleeping with the gin
Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in
Who you gon' tell when the repercussions spin?
Showing off your ass cause you're thinking it's a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem
Baby girl, respect is just a minimum
Men fucked up and we still defending 'em
Now, Lauryn is only human
Don't think she hasn’t been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn
It's silly when girls sell out souls because it's in
Look at where you be in, hair weaves like Europeans
Fake nails done by Koreans
Gender’s a construct
but we hold it up
are you over it
have you had enough?
Gender’s a construct
I will hold it up
man fuck that thing I swear the jig is up
Girls you know you'd better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with their rims
and their Timbs than their women
Him and his men, come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend, poppin' yang
But let’s not pretend
they wanna pack pistols by they waist men
Cristal by the case men, still in they mother's basement
The pretty face men claiming that they did a bid men
Need to take care of they three or four kids
And they face a court case when the child support late
Money taking and heart breaking
and you wonder why women hate men
The sneaky, silent men
The punk, domestic violence men
Quick to shoot the semen, don’t like boys and be men
Fuck gender, I swear we’re all human
I’m floating on this spectrum feeling so confused
I don’t wanna keep that thing to myself
I know I’m not the only man who hated himself
but we don’t talk about it
we just hang ourselves
we leaning on the women cause we won’t get the help
but be honest I swear that thing is so toxic
masculinity so fragile, we hiding in the closet
Ironic, and it’s hard to accept
your gender’s entrenched in a negative effect
your self image is a disgusting silhouette
every single thought we don’t reject becomes a threat
Gender’s a construct
but we hold it up
are you over it?
have you had enough?
Gender’s a construct
I won’t hold it up
man fuck that thing I swear the jig is up
Guys you know you better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
Care for me, care for me
you said you’d care for me
there for me, there for me
said you’d be there for me
cry for me, cry for me
you said you’d die for me
give to me, give to me
why won’t you live for me
Care for me, care for me
you said you’d care for me
there for me, there for me
said you’d be there for me
cry for me, cry for me
you said you’d die for me
give to me, give to me
why won’t you live for me
Gender’s a construct
we just hold it up
are you over it?
have you had enough?
Gender’s a construct
I won’t hold it up
man fuck that thing I swear the jig is up
Gender’s a construct
we just hold it up
are you over it
have you had enough?
Gender’s a construct
I won’t hold it up
man fuck that thing I swear the jig is up
