I'm not trying to run game or even wag your
last name.
I just want to see you claim your fame.
I'm a strong, passionate woman with a lot of
love to give,
and behind my affection, there is no ulterior motive.
I know you've been hurt in the past, and I
think it's quite sad.
See, the sister couldn't have realized what a
treasure she had.
I think you deserve more, but sweetheart, so do I.
So tell me, should I go on or not even try?
Now, if there be hesitation or simply a
miscommunication of our relation,
please allow me to relieve you of the frustration.
You see, what I need is reciprocation.
I see no relation between ships which simply
pass through the night,
deepest conversations held with legs in flight.
While I lay no claims to being a ho, well, you know.
Sister rides the pony like a rodeo, so you'll
claim it's mine as bodies intertwined.
But at break of day, there are no words left to say.
So slow it down, my brother, and take the time
to get to know my soul.
Soon enough, we'll reach that minor goal.
Just take the time to get to know my soul.
Don't jump my bones like a total savage.
Take your time to unwrap this here package.
You see, by no means am I your female who's average.
I'm a true black woman, and that's why the
world revolves around me.
Keep your eyes open long enough, and soon you
will see
that in me, you found the ultimate treasure.
And just the mention of my name will bring you
pure pleasure.
To meet my children, you must earn the privilege.
Of course, you know to raise one child, it
takes an entire village.
So don't be so shallow with a narrow-minded view.
Because had it not been for me, a black woman,
brother, there would simply be no you.
Behind the words in my voice stands the
strongest of power.
Young minds of intellect realize and simply devour.
From all over the world, I receive praise as
I've taken my black man to his highest phase.
Marvin sang it well, but I'ma say it bold.
I got what it takes to make a man out of a soul
that didn't have a goal.
So I ask you once again, my brothers, take the
time to get to know my soul.
