Over Expose |
| If you chose not to over expose |
| You would know that TV freezes souls |
| If you chose not to rip off them clothes |
| You would know life is not like those videos |
| I reflect upon this time, when you and I have crossed the line |
| Not knowing the power of the mind, is far greater than a cute behind |
| When the musically inclined, no longer educate young minds |
| They lack of spine, and undermine the feeling to intertwine |
| That’s why queens act like hoes, in overexposed clothes |
| Forgot their sense of self awareness like those in videos |
| How come your little sister knows, how to shake hers fast? |
| You find it disappointing, she does not know at what she laughs |
| Measure the path, see how many now erode their own progress |
| Each generation emerges with less worth from their birth to regress |
| When it goes away, it returns, this expose of the human flesh |
| Each time is worse than at first, with even more willing to digest |
| Infiltration of my community by way of breaking down the youth |
| Whether or not they are young at heart, still that remains no excuse |
| So, now we’re blinded or do we choose to no longer see? |
| The beautiful rare flower that grew from my concrete |
| If you chose not to over expose |
| You would know that TV freezes souls |
| If you chose not to rip off them clothes |
| You would know life is not like those videos |
| Mentally and physically |
| Essentially it’s meant to be |
| Prophetically evidently, faith strengthening |
| Me and my friends see the trends and ignore |
| The almighty corporate whore |
| The more the merrier the more |
| Gives way as the fabric is ripped and torn |
| Entertainment Television is it more? |
| Than just hardcore porn? |
| Keeping up with the masses by, selling my women’s nakedness, oh why |
| The fact is, they don’t need vision of my, flesh to find me attractive, right |
| As an actress on some dirty mattress each day her worth is cheaper |
| She takes pride in the genocide while the children grow weaker |
| Blasting through the speakers, my words just got deeper |
| Blasting through the speakers, your words just got weaker |
| So find the fight against each other in publicised places |
| Blows that flow back and forth that verbally show self-hatred |
| Debate is a lost cause it continually seems |
| When hiphop videos contain of only one fully dressed MC |
| And then Tits ass tits ass tits ass all over the TV screen |
| And I can NO longer see |
| The flower that grew from my concrete |
