PRETTY WOMEN WONDER
WHERE MY SECRET LIES
I'M NOT CUTE OR BUILT TO SUIT A FASHION MODEL'S SIZE
BUT WHEN I START TO TELL THEM,
THEY THINK I'M TELLING LIES.
I SAY,
IT'S IN THE REACH OF MY ARMS
THE SPAN OF MY HIPS,
THE STRIDE OF MY STEP,
THE CURL OF MY LIPS.
I'M A WOMAN
PHENOMENALLY.
PHENOMENAL WOMAN,THAT'S ME.I WALK INTO A ROOM
JUST AS COOL AS YOU PLEASE,
AND TO A MAN,
THE FELLOWS STAND OR
FALL DOWN ON THEIR KNEES.
THEN THEY SWARM AROUND ME,
A HIVE OF HONEY BEES.
I SAY,
It'S THE FIRE IN MY EYES,
AND THE FLASH OF MY TEETH,
THE SWING IN MY WAIST,
AND THE JOY IN MY FEET.
I'M A WOWAN
PHENOMENALLY.
PHENOMENAL WOMAN,
THAT'S ME.MEN THEMSELVES HAVE WONDERED
WHAT THEY SEE IN ME.
THEY TRY SO MUCH
BUT THEY CAN'T TOUCH
MY INNER MYSTERY.
WHEN I TRY TO SHOW THEM
THEY SAY THEY STILL CAN'T SEE.
I SAY,
IT'S THE ARCH OF MY BACK,
THE SUN OF MY SMILE,
THE RIDE OF MY BREASTS,
THE GRACE OF MY STYLE
I'M A WOMAN
PHENOMENALLY.
PHENOMENAL WOMAN,
THAT'S ME.NOW YOU UNDERSTAND
JUST WHY MY HEAD'S NOT BOWED.
I DON'T SHOUT OR JUMP ABOUT
ORHAVE TO TALK REAL LOUD.
WHEN YOU SEE ME PASSING
IT OUGHT TO MAKE YOU PROUD.
I SAY,
IT'S IN THE CLICK OF MY HEELS,
THE BEND OF MY HAIR,
THE PALM OF MY HAND,
THE NEED OF MY CARE.
'CAUSE I'M A WOMAN
PHENOMENALLY.
PHENOMENAL WOMAN,
THAT'S ME.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts! Myspace Graphics
You are in love with Tommy,
Because his last name is Hilfiger,
But behind closed doors, Tommy,
Is calling you a n*gger,But you could care less,
Because you have been taught to dress to impress,
If I ask you about your true history,
You would have to look on the back of your jeans and Guess,You come up in the club wearing Versace,
Clothes made by a homosexual male,
So even when you say you are straight,
It is very hard to tell,
And for footwear, you wear It mberlands, Even under the sun,
That same tree that's the symbol for them,
Could have been the same one your ancestors were hung from,I cannot forget Nautica,
When was the last memory you have of ships,
Coming to North America in shackles,
Being beaten over the back with whips,And to my beautiful black queens,
Whose creative womb has become barren,
I am confused because your face says Nefertiti,
But your sweater reads Donna Karen,When was the last time you saw Liz Claiborne,
Conversing with black women,
But as soon as her name is printed on a purse,
To Macy's you quickly go, running,Ralph Lauren doesn't even look at black men,
Unless they are driving him around town,
But as soon as that slave master appears on the back of a horse,
You put whatever you have picked up down,My people reclaim your status in this world and in your life,
F.U.B.U. In case you didn't know, St ands for ( For Us By Us),
Buying black will someday suffice,
Do you know who owns Timberland fashion?Well, Timberland is owned by the president of the KKK,
Surprised? Don't be.
Read more books black people,
Always hope for the best and prepare for the worst,
You may not get what you pay for,
But you'll surely pay for what you get.~ Maya Angelou
