To Elena , a girl was born.
Beautiful smile and crook nose
She was delicate as a petal;
Let's pray she live long

But before she grows,
we should tell her some rules.
Not much but a few;
That she'll surely adore

Look, she's two years
But she's isn't fair enough
Her brother is more handsome
and she has big ears

Elena's daughter is mannerless
She didn't help my son but the beggar
Maybe it's because Elena home school her
Elena need to focus on her daughter

Elena's daughter is getting fatter
She should be growing her hair
She doesn't know how to dress up
So what if she's only ten?

Elena's daughter goes out a lot
She should be restricted because she's a girl
She should not wear bright colours
Doesn't she know we do not allow?

She is too tall
She does not help her mother at all
I heard she is fond of dancing
But Elena doesn't have money

Her daughter does job
She should be studying right now
Her brother wastes money ,but it's okay,
Cause He's a boy

Elena's daughter has shaved her head
She does not wear dress
She should use heels
So what if she is does not like it

I heard Elena's boy ran away
And never came back
It's okay, he can do it
After all, his gender is different

Elena died last night
She should've saved some money
For herself, as she was diseased
If she didn't want it , then why didn't she,
paid her son's fees?

Elena's daughter lives alone
She should get married as she lost her mom
She doesn't seem to care
If she won't smile, no man would like her

Elena's daughter has a lot of freckles
She should start using some makeup
Oh my, look at how she caked her face
She's a girl, she doesn't even have grace

Her daughter looks tired
Last night I heard loud cries
From her house that was alone
Is she depressed and tired?

Months, she was not seen
Maybe she decided to suicide
Would she do it?
and bring dishonour to her family?

I saw her yesterday,
She met a boy
Look, how much of a hoe
She even wear shorts

She started studying again
The bags under her eyes have,
started to disappear
She puts on a lot of products
But it seems she doesn't even give a fuck

She should lower her head that touches the sky
She should not use words that quiet everyone else
She should not be doing two jobs
She is alone and weak, but then why she wears the crown?

Last night, instead of cries,
I saw her daughter fly,
in the music
I heard she loved dancing
I heard now she has the money

She should get married,
She hustle like a machine
Her eyes has fire in them
She finally started standing on her feet

Oh no, it's not good
A girl, successful?
Marriage should be her first priority
And perhaps, Her only destiny

She owned a new house and a car
A girl driving? It's so bizarre
why doesn't she just halt?
She is a girl, she should lock herself in a jar.

But she doesn't listen to us
The cars and body guards following her
She wears jewels on her body
But now we saw the real diamond

She's getting up
She lost her only parent
She grew up fierce
But she didn't help her brother

She should not be doing good,
How could she? She's not beautiful
It's the only products she throw on
Her face that is now widely adorned

Her bank balance is full of cash
Hundred dollars is like an ash
For her, who didn't work enough
I mean, two jobs, good grades, dancing,
it's just all.

Elena's daughter changed her fate
But she didn't do that great
What else can we say?
We're society, all we do is hate
