DIVA


What it means to be a diva

Not a whore or a slut

I use my mind not the crack of my behind

I'm defined by my ancestors who were the truest divas of all

They took no bull shit

They fought for what they believed in

Not for the men they laid in bed with

Women without the chance to vote

Never stooped so low as to sell their body

And they never thought of selling their souls

They held on to their gold

Which was their virginity and their sanity
