It Takes More
I’m not making any promises, but I MIGHT be done ranting for time being.
This song popped in my head today and perfectly sums up the themes of the week.
The sh*t that you promote
Fighting, f*ckin’
Like you don’t want to grow
You’re talking so much sex
But you not tell the youth ’bout AIDS
You not tell them ’bout consequence, no
You’re talking like you a G
But you’re a killer killing your own
Your just a racist man’s p*ssy
Tell me who wants to know
What when who where
Or how you do your hoe’s
Certainly not me
Certainly not me
‘Cause baby personally
I like to be challenged mentally
I’ve heard it all before
Gangsta’s pimps and whores
Quality is poor
A girl like me needs more
It takes more (takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They’ve got you (got you)
‘Cause while you braggin’ ’bout your badness you’re just
Avoiding, adding
To the real sh*t that’s happenin’ to us
Now who gives a damn
About the ice on your hands?
If its not too complex
Tell me how many African’s died
For the baguettes on your Rolex?
So what you pushing a nice car
Don’t you know there’s no such thing as superstar
We leave this world alone
So who gives a shh about the things you own?
Certainly not me
Certainly not me
‘Cause baby personally
I like to be challenged mentally
Your sh*t’s insignificant
And it don’t help to pay my rent
Its pure negativity
That you impose on me
It takes more (takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They’ve got you (got you)
‘Cause while you braggin’ ’bout your badness you’re just
Avoiding, adding
To the real sh*t thats happenin’ to us
Now I can sit
And chat sh*t about d*cks and sex
But my business is my business I got self respect
I can talk ’bout how my press could pimp man’s dough
Get the keys to his ride and his home
But I looked it up and that would make me a ho’
Little sisters now I really gotta let you know
Real woman ain’t sexin’ for no mans dough
Real woman work hard to make the dough
And we can all chat ’bout gats and blacks
On blacks and force the hypes and all the stereotypes
We’re used to watching, but that ain’t what I’m here for
Show them to think higher and aspire for more
It takes more (takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They’ve got you (got you)
‘Cause while you braggin’ ’bout your badness your just
Avoiding, adding
To the real sh*t thats happenin’ to us
It takes more (takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They’ve got you (got you)
‘Cause while you braggin’ ’bout your badness your just
Avoiding, adding
To the real sh*t thats happenin’ to us
