Lyrics

The shit that you promote
Fighting,violence
Like you don't want to grow
You talking so much sex
But you not telling youths about aids
And not tellin them 'bout no consequence, no
Your talking like you a g
But you are killer killing your own
You're just a racist man's pussy
Tell me who wants to know
What? when? who? where?
Or how you loose control

Certainly not me
Certainly not me
'Cause baby personally
I like to be challenged mentally
I've heard it all before
Gangsta's pimps and whores
Quality is poor
A girl like me needs more

It takes more (it takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (so much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They've got you (they got you)
'Cause while you braggin' 'bout your badness your just
Avoiding, adding
To the real shit thats happenin' to us

Now who gives a damn
About the ice on your hands?
If its not too complex
Tell me how many africans died
For the baguettes on your rolex?
So what you pushing a nice car
Don't you know there's no such thing as superstars?
We leave this world alone
So who gives a fuck about the things you own?

Certainly not me
Certainly not me
'Cause baby personally
I like to be challenged mentally
Your bullshit's insignificant
And it don't help to pay my rent
Its pure negativity
That you impose on me

It takes more (it takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (so much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They've got you (they got you)
'Cause while you braggin' 'bout your badness your just
Avoiding, adding
To the real shit thats happenin' to us

3Rd verse(rap):
Now I can sit and chat shit bout dicks and sex
But my business is my business
I got self respect
I could talk bout how my press could pimp mans dough
Get the keys to his ride, and his home
But I looked it up and that would make me a hoe
Little sistahs, now I really gotta let ya know:
Real women aint sexin fo no mans dough
Real women work hard to make they own

Now, we can all chat bout gats and blacks on blacks
Enforce the hypes and all these stereotypes
But youts' are watchin
That aint wat im herre fo
Show 'em to think higher and aspire to be more

It takes more (it takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (so much more)
To confuse a girl like me
They've got you (they got you)
'Cause while you braggin' 'bout your badness your just
Avoiding, adding
To the real shit thats happenin' to us
It takes more (it takes more)
To amuse a girl like me
So much more (so much more)
To confuse a girl like me
