I was a little pissed off last night.... this morning
whatever
Ode to be a Black Womun
Oh my Amerika
Oh say can't you see
The glory that resides in me
I've got Afrika in my veins
does it make you shudder to hear my name
I am Black Womun
proud and bold
aint I a wonder to behold
I'm stacked from East to West
I'm built from North to South
I'm made to last baby so you betta watch your mouth
See I'm not your bitch
I aint yo ho
I sure as hell aint your slut
I sincerely hope you understand me cause I=ve about had enough
I'm not your mammy
and I aint your aunt Jemima
Sorry I had to go there- I wanted to remind ya
You'll have to excuse me for being abrupt
but
time to cover your ears kiddes
cause its about to get real rough
I'm not your poontang
your cunt
or your piece of ass
you betta recognize and respect boys cause this Lady has some class
You come around me saying you grown
forget you, you lazy bastard I can do it on my own.
Don't think I don't like you honey just cause I wont let you do me wrong
It's just that the type of man I need
has got to be real strong
and don't mizunderstand you can have your space and I'll even shut my mouth
I'm just not going to let you disrespect me in my own damn house
And for all you twizted sisters who wanna call me out my name
you betta watch out baby there's no way you can play my game
honey my lips don't need no botax
my breasts do not get done
I've got better stuff to do with my time than try to squeeze into a size one
We should be working together trying to reclaim our land
instead of hatin on each other and talking to the hand
Nah all you FOXes in the Media
ima have to take you out side
BET and MTV
I got brains above my behind
ABC and NBC
I don't need to be your "friend"
cause we all know it's you that's trying to fit in
Just mad at me,
hatin on me,
cause you aint got my flow
take every chance to vilify me
then emulate me on your show
ohhhhhh you just, just cant wait to show me at my worst
that's fine go on keep doing it
It's good you don't know my worth
because one day when you aint ready
Ima rain like fire from the sky
oh; what's that baby, did I scare you? Are you about to cry???
Oh my Amerika
Oh say can you see
that I'm still here
I'm still standing
despite the things you've done to me
Ya see; I aint going nowhere
Im gonna have my DAY
So my Amerika
you best git on out my way!!!!!!!
