Sticks & Stones (Ladies Wake Up)
Why not stand out?
Instead of following everyone else,
Beng different is what's beautiful
Just learn to be yourself
As cliche as it may sound,
Would you be happy being something elset?
What you hold inside is more sacred
Education?
EMBRACE it
Why not fill your brain with knowledge?
When will you ladies wake up?
You're not a bitch, nor a slut
While you call yourself a "bad bitch"
Why degrade youself?
So noone else will respect you?
Yet you dont respect yourself
Every night is a party,
Have a drink, burn one up
Get rid of those fake friends
Plus that guy he's a scrub
He's not interested in you,
He just wants a hit and run
It's a vicious circle,
He's your drug,
You re-up,
He'll apologize, you'll forget about it,
Another lie to keep you along side
One day you'll wake up and realize
"He's simply not the guy"
A man that loves you for your mind
Not just for your curves or your size
Being a woman isn't easy,
Sometimes we break down and cry
We hold our heads high,
Ignore those with envy
Empty promises,
Bottles?
Just to help ease the suffering
No matter what trips you up
You get up and stand taller
Never let someone label you to make you feel smaller
Instead of going out,
Pick up a book and read
Don't give us good girls a bad name, because your full of greed
We all live and learn,
Take several trial runs,
Why not send a positive message,
To girls younger then us?
Let them know what is beautiful
It's not the girls in magazines,
You don't need makeup to feel pretty
But to enhance your true beauty
We're all beautiful reguardless of critics
Hurtful words can't break you,
Sticks and stones
Don't be afraid to stand alone
Ladies wake up,
Empower our next generation
For young women like us,
It's up to us to change it
