Not Barbie (Tiffany Solo)



  • “Not Barbie” is a track from the EP Lips On Lips that celebrates self-acceptance and breaking free from the need, often self-imposed, to mold and bend and break oneself to fit outside standards. “I’m glad that I’ve had those moments and I understand why I did, but once you find self-acceptance you start to celebrate your imperfections, and that is true beauty,” Young says.

    LYRICS


    [Verse 1]

    All these rules don't fit

    And sometimes I wish I wasn't in my skin

    So I could blend in

    I felt a shame layer by layer

    Looking in the mirror like it's not fair

    Fuck that, I'll be me


    [Pre-Chorus]

    Used to dream about the day I'd

    Make a lot of money just to change up

    Hiding all the pain behind my makeup

    Makeup don't really fix a thing


    [Chorus]

    Even if I don't look like what they show me

    They can never judge me 'cause they don't know me

    I won't change, won't change, not sorry

    I'm good, I'm good, not Barbie

    I don't need to apologize 'cause I'm different

    Everything I got is mine, I'm so gifted

    Won't change, not sorry

    I'm good, I'm good, not Barbie


    [Verse 2]

    All these magazines

    Page after page and no one look like me

    'Cause we ain't the same

    I used to be so afraid

    Tryna play a role I can't explain

    Now I finally see


    [Pre-Chorus]

    Used to dream about the day I'd

    Make a lot of money just to change up

    Hiding all the pain behind my makeup

    Makeup don't really fix a thing


    [Chorus]

    Even if I don't look like what they show me

    They can't ever judge me 'cause they don't know me

    I won't change, won't change, not sorry

    I'm good, I'm good, not Barbie

    I don't need to apologize 'cause I'm different

    Everything I got is mine, I'm so gifted

    Won't change, not sorry

    I'm good, I'm good, not Barbie


    [Bridge]

    I'm not, I'm not

    No, I'm, no, I'm not sorry

    I'm not, I'm not

    No, I'm, no, I'm not sorry


    [Chorus]

    Even if I don't look like what they show me

    They can't ever judge me 'cause they don't know me

    I won't change, won't change, not sorry

    I'm good, I'm good, not Barbie

    I don't need to apologize 'cause I'm different

    Everything I got is mine, I'm so gifted

    Won't change, not sorry

    I'm good, I'm good, not Barbie

    [Outro]

    Oh, oh

    Yeah, yeah, yeah

    Oh, oh

    Yeah, yeah, yeah
