I Am Entertaining


I am more than the average black girl.

Unusual.

More than what politicians define.

The best triple threat singing, dancing, actress the world will ever see.

Lyrics in multiple different ways

multiple different shades.

My dance is like a religion.

Diverse rhythms of savage beats.

Killing of calories 

Bump to bump and Bang to bang

Moving my hips to the rhyme I claim.

Pretending is my craft.

Stepping out of my reality 

To portray a false life

Only few are blessed by nature

With the skill to enter an alternate world

I am more than what meets the eye.

I have a deeper soul than silver and gold.

I am an entertainer.
