Willow Smith, I Find You Disturbing

Anyone else a little perturbed by Willow Smith's song Whip My Hair? I mean seriously, the girl is 9! I thought JBeebz was young, but this shit is getting ridiculous. And let's be honest, girl never would have any song at all if it weren't for her famous daddie.

Let's look at some of the lyrics:
First of all, we get it. You're whipping your hair. No need to repeat it 7 more times. If you're watching the video you can see it too. The meaning is clear. Shut up and move on.

"Hop up out the bed turn my swag on"
Umm what? You have swag? You're nine. Do you even know what swag is? You should have a princess backpack, not swag.

"Pay no attention to them haters cuz we whip em off"
Haters? Really? I thought the hating didn't start until middle school. I'm pretty sure in elementary school you like everyone. It concerns me that a nine year old is enough of a bitch that she has haters. How are they raising that girl!?

"i'm just tryna have fun so keep the party jumping"
The party? I hope you mean your birthday party, where you had a bouncy house. I know that's what you mean. Because you're 9 so you've never been to any other kind of party.

"Don't let haters keep me off my grind"
I'm still concerned about these "haters" she has, but more pressing issue: what the hell is her grind? You are too young to be grinding any sort of food item, and I know you're not grinding up on anything else. For realz, where are her parents while this shit is going down?

"When I'm down and I feel like giving up I think again"
Feel like giving up on what? Your long division homework? Get real

Then we have 16 lines just to make sure we know SHE'S WHIPPING HER HAIR BACK AND FORTH
What the hell does whipping your hair have to do with ANYTHING?

"Soon as i hit the stage applause I'm hearing it"
This would be so much more acceptable if it was the stage of her school's holiday concert, and not a stage in which she performs this horrible song and people pay. 9 year olds should not be performing for massive audiences. Her ears will probably never develop correctly.

"I, I gets it in mmmm yea I go hard"
You're 9. That is so so illegal. And disturbing.

I hope Child Protective Services has heard this song and is looking into it. Supposedly she wrote this herself. I am concerned about the kind of lifestyle she is living on so many different levels.
