Bo$$

Fifth Harmony

Reflection

July 7th, 2014

Fifth Harmony sees your music industry making women feel bad about themselves and raises you an uplifting jam about women gettin' theirs and not caring what men think about them. They're on that Michelle Obama swag, gettin' Oprah dollars, and they're C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T the entire time. I would invite you to try to step to them, but they're already about a million yards ahead of you, little boy.
