So Fly Lyrics

I can't help being depressed
When I look down at my chest
Oh yes, my chest it might as well be nonexistent
How can I ever compete With 34 double D's?

And I'm rollin my eyes
When I look down at my thighs
They might as well tape everything that I eat
To my legs
I am too broke for the knife
Too lazy to excercise
But if I had hazel eyes
Maybe I could be fly

If I had no cellulite
Big breasts and pockets real wide
Then maybe I
Maybe I, I
I could be so fly
And if I had a small waist
I'd make the boys go insane
And maybe I
Maybe I, I
I could be so fly
So fly [3x]
Now listen
I've got a beautiful soul
But only 4 people know
They've known me since I was 10
Beauty did not matter then

Now in my twenties all that matters
Is sex cars and money
I ain't got none of the three
So basically, I am invisible to all of the fellas
And I sit at home jealous
There was no golden ticket
In my chocolate today

And worst of all
I'm reminded in the cruelest ways
Of how I don't look and I should look
And that's why I say...

If I had no cellulite
Big breasts and pockets real wide
Then maybe I
Maybe I, I
I could be so fly
And if I had a small waist
I'd make the boys go insane
And maybe I
Maybe I, I
I could be so fly
So fly [6x]
So basically all I need
Is to be everything but me
Colored contacts
Liposuction
And breast implants
Somehow that don't make much sense
I must be out of my head
If I think, that I am governed by material things

So I decided I'm
The definition of fly
And if you want to know why
I know what money can't buy
Don't go believing the hype
There's no runway in the sky
And no way you could be fly
Not if it costs you a dime

If I had no cellulite
Big breasts and pockets real wide
Then maybe I
Maybe I, I, I
I could be so fly
If I had no cellulite
The boys go insane
And maybe I
Maybe I, I
I could be so fly

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

An ode to loving yourself for just who you are. Also appeared on Elle’s mixtape Conversational Lush.
It’s about how society wants us to be. And how “true” beauty is portrayed as on tv, or through magazines. And that’s what boys look at. She’s saying maybe if she had these kind of eyes or didn’t have big thighs or maybe she wasn’t herself than maybe she’d be fly (What’s in style;beautiful.) But then she realized that she wouldn’t be herself if she was anyone else. That the definition of fly is herself, and no one can tell her any different.
