Poem from Girl's Town


(This is just my best guess...if anyone has any suggestions feel free to email me with them.)

long flowing braids
interlocking her knowledge
university of the stoops
is where she went to college
large deepset eyes
knowin' all how they nothin'
showin' your fake ass
like your really sayin' somethin'
nose wide open
like some art on display
smellin' all the bullshit
comin' the wrong way
her lips full and ready
either smilin' or in a pucker
always ready to spit out truth
she's one bad motherfucker
sometimes it's mistaken
that she's nothin' but a diva
cuz she can turn it on
and be fierce like a beava (?)
but that's not her steelo (stylo?)
everyday type of thing
she demands respect
to be treated like a queen
she's lookin' for knowledge
her goal is to be paid
and occasionally rest
and regularly laid
what you see
is what you get
it ain't cheap
it ain't free
it's all unmistakably
undeniably me
