I Am what you say I am

Mon, 06/15/2015 - 04:41 -- Cece

I am black so I am underpriveleged , uneducated and unmotivated

I am a black femle so I am ghetto , ratchet and dumb

I'm on welfare and I have kids with no father 

I have a couple of cousins in jail , oh and an uncle too

I have no education because I dropped out of school

I use my welfare check for drugs and alcohol

and my favorite pass time is to window shop at the mall

i got a couple of brothers that play basketball

I use ebonics and hate to pronunciate 

Don't talk to me or look at me , as a matter of fact stay away

I can't stand anything , I'm so mad at the world 

I have a big butt and I love to show it off 

I dance provocatively in the club before 11 for no cost

I have nappy hair so I wear it in a weave 

I love fried chicken , watermelon and grape soda like you wouldn't believe

I don't workout and my blood pressure is so high 

I think all men do is lie , cheat and lie 

I AM A BLACK WOMAN but 

I am what you say I am 

so did I get it right ?
