No I don't seem to take it lightly

That my darker sistas find it "OK" to degrade themselves

Being used as a sex symbol,falling for love that is not unconditional 

Baby daddy's left and right, children growing up with different last names

Satisfied with being provided for by the system, depended on EBT stamps

And we wonder why, black men chase after other women?

But we get jealous when they chase after more sophisticated sistas

So we hate and try to sabatogue any happy, healthy couple

Just to be trifling,greedy

We have to get it together 

For the youth look up to us, our children need us, and our community is hoping for us

Hoping that we can change the world oneday, one step at a time 

But it starts here, it starts now
