chorus

Because I represent I represent these words
these words these words for the women the ladies the babies , the girls
the ones with the curls
the light the black
the ones who get pushed all the way to the back
the ones with the glasses and their hair tied back
the ones who feel they need to really act like that
the ones labeled too fat
the ones who feel they couldnt achieve
the one who wouldnt fall to believe

Cuz I once saw a girl a lady a girl
with her fist to the world the sky the world
who didnt want the pearls the jewels the pearls
she can get it on her own her own all alone
Cuz i once saw a woman a whoa-man
i put the wrd whoa cuz she was drop dead
we look for the beauty first instead
we can find the brains after nuff said

this is dedicated, dedicated to the ignorance of us,
mostly guilty riding on the same bus,
the band wagon draggin and i really seem to doubt,
we see the damage that we broadcast or put out
, of what the women in the world really need to be,
need to be put in our places everyday we see,
and it starts wen shes a little girl
,this is definitely how they start to see the world,
superficial if shes lucky shell ignore the message,
and look in mirrors and say "damn, what a blessing"
accept her features and settle for a "no job"
and turn her nose from the page
and keep her clothes on
and keep her eyes off
and keep her mind on
and keep the televison on pause stop because
because the virus spreads quick from the hips up,
and tell the magazines they can all shut up!
