[INTRO - spoken]
We are supposed to be the smart species,
Yet basic insects and animals all know what they are.
But we, we have so many that are confused!
[Verse 1]
XX, the thread of womb and flame
The silent code that bears the name
She doesn’t choose, she doesn’t try
She simply is—and that’s the why
[Verse 2]
XY, the mark of bone and blade
The primal shape that doesn’t fade
He doesn’t shift, he doesn’t bend
He is the start, he is the end
[Verse 3]
They ask us why we draw the line
Why truth must stand, why roots define
But nature doesn’t ask for votes
It writes in blood, it sings in throats
[Verse 4]
So XX, XY—etched in skin
Not a trend, not found within
It’s not a mood, it’s not a game
It’s not a flag, it’s not a name
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t ask us why the code won’t change
Don’t call it cruel, don’t call it strange
It’s not belief, it’s not decree
It’s just the way that life must be
[Chorus / Hook]
XX, XY, why?
Because the stars don’t lie
Because the womb and seed
Are not a social need
[Bridge – Drop Lead-In]
You can’t rewrite the primal song
You can’t pretend the code is wrong
You can’t escape the silent cry
Of XX, XY, why?
[Final Hook – Full Ensemble]
XX, XY, why?
Because the truth won’t die
Because the code still speaks
In every cell that leaks
