about

Produced by Gold Glove (Gia Woods, Slayyyter), and featuring Asian pop-star Pyra, “the title track pokes fun at the still-prevailing mythology of the feminine mystique using nursery-rhyme cadence. With girl power commercial campaigns and media trends, “feminism” can be flattened into a marketing scheme… seeing an empowered woman in a tampon commercial or an all-female Ghostbusters cast does not an equal world make. Representation of course matters, but all of these representations are ultimately on behalf of consumerism & can mask the reality of women's rights day to day. This song is a reminder of the silly & infantilizing language that predated “girl boss” & is still resonating even if our patriarchal tyrants have changed their vocabulary for street cred.” - Boyfriend

lyrics

Sticks and stones may break my bones but
They won’t stop me
Sticks and stones may break my bones but
They won’t stop me

Sticks and stones may break my bones
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Sticks and stones may break my bones but
They won’t stop me

Sugar and spice
And everything nice
That’s what they’d like to think we’re made of
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
That’s what they’d like to think we’re made of

Sugar and spice
And everything nice
That’s what they’d like to think we’re made of
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
That’s what they’d like to think we’re made of

Sticks and stones may break my bones
don’t need them where I’m going
though I can do it all alone I still got plenty rolling
I’m keeping tabs on what I own I got posse patrolling
think you can knock me out my zone I don’t hold back for no one

No one can come close to my phenomenon
your whole bank is but a sprinkle of my parmesan
average ain’t even in my lexicon
My company is strictly upper echelon

Headed up up up to the ceiling
try to stop me I leave you reeling
Oh I’m sorry I hurt your feelings
Try to push me down
On my own playground
Good luck

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Sticks and stones may break my bones but
They won’t stop me stop me
Sticks and stones may break my bones but
They won’t stop me stop me
Sticks and stones may break my bones but
They won’t stop me stop me
Sticks and stones may break my bones but
They won’t stop me stop me

Pyra
My sex's power
My kitty's the designer
Don't need no lad, don't need no dad, she got the fire
I like the match and spark the fuse i made it mad hot
Get off my Bangkok
My Boyfriend and I gonna put you up for trouble
Muay Thai them bad guys gonna save the day like Bubble
We ain't done with the fun
Not until I see you run
Back to ya bro, let him know
Kitties' back on the pedestal

Sugar and spice
And everything nice
That’s what they’d like to think we’re made of
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
That’s what they’d like to think we’re made of

Sugar and spice
And everything nice
That’s what they’d like to think we’re made of
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
That’s what they’d like to think we’re made of

Nightmares and crimes and everything grime
That's what I like and what I'm made of
Nightmares and crimes and everything grime
That's what I like and what I'm made of

about

Boyfriend New Orleans, Louisiana

Boyfriend has been called a “mysterious, raunchy feminist” by NPR, a “sex-positive English nerd” by Huffington Post and “endearingly weird” by Paper Magazine. She coined the term "Rap Cabaret,” to describe her live show which is, according to Gambit Magazine, a stage show "as much cone-bra, arena-sized Madonna as it is an intimate, hilariously profane psychosexual bedroom drama.” ... more
