what are you v2

[INTRO — FEMALE, COLD] You don’t know what it feels like. Yeah… let’s go then. [VERSE 1 — FEMALE, SHARP / LOW] Walk in a room and the tension bites, Eyes do the maths but the sums ain’t right. They stare like I’m something they’ve never seen — half silhouette, half smoke, in-between. I stand with the girls but the vibe is split, They scan my frame like a counterfeit. Questions hang like a blade in the air: “Are you this? Are you that? What you doin’ in here?” Bruv, you don’t feel that fear. You don’t know that gear. [VERSE 1 — MALE, IGNORANT / MOCKING] Oh chill out, babe, you’re doin’ too much. No one's watchin’ you, swear you love the fuss. This identity thing — bit of a trend? Everybody special now, where does it end? Just choose one, innit? Stop with the blend. People like simple, why you pretend? Always with the drama, makin’ it deep — talkin’ like the whole world’s losin’ sleep. [HOOK — FEMALE + MALE AD-LIBS] FEMALE: To them, nothing makes sense — (yeah yeah) To me, nothing’s new — (mmhm) I’m fightin’ battles they can’t even see, carvin’ out space where I’m meant to be. Mirrors don’t ask who — they whisper what are you? MALE (mocking): Here we go again… boo hoo. [VERSE 2 — FEMALE, ANGRY / FLOW SWITCH] Man like you think discomfort’s pain, think confusion’s the same as a chain. You’ve been center-stage since the second you came, world built for your shape, your name, your lane. I’ve been bending my spine just dodgin’ your gaze, rewrite myself in a thousand ways. My truth ain’t a costume, a fad, or a craze — it’s survival carved from the darkest days. You fear what you can’t define. You mock what you can’t confine. [VERSE 2 — MALE, DEFENSIVE / LOUDER] Bruv relax — why you on attack? I treat you the same, why you hittin’ back? Equal rights? Cool. But don’t make it a cult. Sayin’ the world’s broken like it’s my fault. Why’s everything gender, why’s everything split? People didn’t care ‘til YOU made it a bit. If you want respect, don’t make it a show — maybe the problem’s you, y’know? [PRE-HOOK — FEMALE, RISING HEAT] If you stepped one foot in the state I’m in, you’d feel every stare crawl under your skin. You’d feel every doorway shrinkin’ you thin. You’d feel what it costs just existin’ in sin according to men like you. This ain’t a phase, babe — this is breakthrough. [HOOK — FEMALE LEAD, MALE UNDER] FEMALE: To them, nothing makes sense. To me? This ain’t new. I’ve carried storms you could never survive, built from the ashes just stayin’ alive. Mirrors don’t ask who — they whisper what are you? MALE (under his breath): Always the victim… always the view… [BRIDGE — FEMALE, FINAL TEACHING / TRAP SPOKEN] You were raised on comfort, I was raised on fight. You expect the world to shift for your right. I forged myself outta ruin and spite — I’m the future you fear, I’m the dark turned light. I’m not your question. I’m not your fix. I’m not here to make your worldview click. I’m the truth you didn’t pick — and still, I exist. [BRIDGE — MALE, RATTLED / SMALL] … Didn’t know it hit like that. Didn’t know you lived like that. Didn’t know— FEMALE (cuts him off): Yeah. Exactly. [OUTRO HOOK — FEMALE, POWERFUL] To them, nothing makes sense. But my voice cuts through. I am not your label. I’m not your view. I define me. Not you. Not them. And no one gets to ask “what are you?” ever again.
