FEMININE


FEMININE Not every black girl is some hoochie want to be Popping out a baby before they even turn 16 See you may think because of the color of my skin That you automatically know what’s going on within Well, think again and take a step back I’m so tired of being stereotyped just because I’m black Take a second and do some meditation Because you’re going to need it once I finish my education I bet you didn’t really expect that from me But you will when I receive my Ph.D. See you think all I’m good for is money, work and sex But I use my mind as my muscle now watch me flex Oh yeah you might think I’m ghetto because I get loud at times But don’t worry I’m educated do I need a caution sign? To warn those around me that I’m not just some hoodrat That I’m doing things in my life that’s got me on the right track At the end of the day I know who I am and that’s all that matters Because see God made me in His Image and he gave me my talents Not some stereotype, not black not white Because when it’s all said and done , I report to the highest The God of all gods who has no bias So i forget about the opinions of you and any other men Because at the end of the day I’m just…… FEMININE
