Shit You Would Say To Your Dog, But Not To Your Boyfriend

There are some things that a woman
Could share with her four-legged friend
But never could have the courage to say up front to her boyfriend
Because she fears that their relationship is coming to an end.

Rigid feelings despers from her
As she gets ready for an all-woman rally.
Gathered in the valley of social incompleteness
She tries to convince the others
Like lesbian sex on a Saturday moonlight sky
That they don't need a man to satisfy them.
Them "lame ass niggas" as they would refer them
But yet want to be known as "bad bitches"
Because it's obvious that's all they could identify themselves as.
Nothing more than a dime piece instead of a rare jewel,
Found in the depths of Africa.

A girl named Erica says
"Fuck love and the bullshit you came with.
I'm about my paper."
Writing ignorant graffiti on the Facebook status,
Because expressing your truth is unacceptable in today's society
Since the variety of originality is lacking in the community of the everyday Black woman,
She who used to be a Nubian goddess
Is now looked at as the definition of the word "geisha" gone wrong.

For so long,
Let a woman claim herself as the "bad bitch" along with the clique that she came with
Since that's the only thing that defines who they are
Because they know that in a man's mind
A woman with a big ass
Small waist
And a pretty face is the way to their heart.
Sadly from the start,
The man they get thirsty for
Has quenched for more
Whores that walks through the club's door.

Make a woman pissed off
And she knows how to toss somebody underneath the bus
Due to the fact that she feels that is her only way of protection.
Although men know way of prevention from being put on blast
On Jerry Springer or the Maury Show.
"Just give the bitch some dough."
Because he thinks that's the only way she'll go about her business.

Easy enough to say that
Any woman that lowers her own self worth
Is a fool
A consensual slave to the unconscious
Sex zombie
Who will only become awake once you do something that is worth remembering.
I myself know what it's like to settle for less
Due to having less in the kettle.
Instead of looking at the pot half empty
I now see it half full.

Dull Barbie doll wannabes
Can't stand it when you disrespect the leader.
It's even sad to see those who tries to be her and never themselves.
It's gotten so bad that I too get involved with the WCW's--- Woman Crush Wednesdays.
But I rather be like Sade or Amel Larrieux any day
Because those women both know that beauty will fade away.

Today, I stand alone with the underdogs
Because I want to be able to hold a dialogue with a social conscious man.
I guess you can't tell the big booty Judy men that
They overlook those things
These are the things I would tell my boyfriend and not a dog
Since a bitch would never be able to hold an intelligent dialogue.
