You want empowerment? Buy the book, Buy the planner, Buy the course. Monetize your healing, Optimize your worth. Girl boss. They told me I could shatter ceilings made of glass, Didn't mention I'd be bleeding while I climbed to match the class. "Lean in," they said, lean into what? My own destruction? Working three jobs, call it "passion," call it "function." Hustle culture dressed in pink, slapped a filter on my pain, Sold me "self-care Sundays" while they profited from my brain. "You can have it all," yeah, all the labor, all the load, All the emotional exhaustion on this capitalist road. Sheryl Sandberg made her millions telling me to work harder, While the system stays the same and I'm my own best martyr. Gaslit into grinding, told my burnout is my fault, "You're just not optimizing," that's the business cult assault. Instagram feminism, #BossBabe in the bio, Selling empowerment courses while you're broke, that's the irony though. Revolution got repackaged as a personal brand, They want me silent, smiling, with a side hustle in hand. Girl boss, girl boss, selling me a dream, Work yourself to death, call it self-esteem. Girl boss, girl boss, empowerment for sale, I see through your bullshit, watch the system fail. "Representation matters," yeah, but for who though? One woman CEO while the rest can barely grow. You broke a glass ceiling? Cool, what about the floor? The women cleaning offices making minimum or more? Corporate feminism is just capitalism in heels, Diversity in boardrooms while they crush us with their deals. "More female drone pilots," is that really liberation? Or just equal opportunity to join in the exploitation? They want me grateful that I'm "allowed" to break my back, Call it progress when I'm drowning, call it winning when I crack. Tokenize the few who make it, point to them and say, "See? The system works!" while most of us can't find a way. Girl boss energy is just "pick me" for the market, Perform your empowerment, make sure the men can park it Comfortable, non-threatening, still fuckable and cool, A feminist who never makes the patriarchy feel like a fool. MLM huns calling themselves "entrepreneurs," Losing money, losing friends, but the "community" endures. Gaslight, gatekeep, girl boss, that's the motto now, But who's actually bossing? You're just working anyhow. Girl boss, girl boss, selling me a dream, Work yourself to death, call it self-esteem. Girl boss, girl boss, empowerment for sale, I see through your bullshit, watch the system fail. They told me I could have it all, just hustle and grind, Turns out "having it all" means losing my mind. Empowerment's a product, feminism's a brand, And I'm done being sold what I already am. I already am powerful, didn't need your permission, My worth isn't measured by capitalist vision. You sold me my own freedom like it's something I could buy, But liberation isn't purchased, it's the system that has to die. Girl boss, girl boss, selling me a dream, Work yourself to death, call it self-esteem. Girl boss, girl boss, empowerment for sale, I see through your bullshit, watch the system fail. Girl boss, girl boss Keep your dream. Girl boss, girl boss I'm done with your scheme. You can't sell me what I already own, Watch me burn it down I'm doing this alone.
