Good Woman

Good woman, respect yourself
Be proud of yourself, neva sell yourself
You’re black and beautiful with your ivory smile
Don’t give away yourself until di land is fertile
Before a bwoy get it affi walk thousand miles
And put di application right 'pon top all di while
You’re precious and pretty, you no need to run wild
You’re always in control cah yuh no Satan child
Nuff a dem love always leggo di caat
Dem cunk kool well use more than a restaurant pot
Nuff a dem uglier than a likkle rat bat
But still a trick di dawgs dem with dem little dog trap
Good girl, don’t be like dem
You cunk kool well tight not use like dem
Man observe and not crucified like dem
Your cunk is not a murderer nuh stick like dem
Good girl, my good girl
