[Rocky Talking]
What they sayin’ now? They said what?
They say I talk too much, they say I curse too much
And don’t smile enough, and don’t work enough
They say I act too tough and don’t drink enough
But I don’t give a fuck, I say I’m fine
(Go on ahead with it...)
[Verse 1]
They say I got a complex
And I’m aggressive with the context
Maybe I was born in the wrong sex
Too ghetto, too ‘hood to be conscious
A lotta gyals just like me
And they sure as hell
Not givin’ a fuck like me
Tired of hearin’ the same rhymes like me
So they reminisce about the old timеs like me
Well…I was just a littlе girl when I first heard
Queen Latifah tellin’ brothers
‘Bout a certain word
They like use when they feelin’ insecure
So they pull out all the
“Bitches” and the ”sluts” and the “whores”
But…look
I heard it all, you can try me
Still got a purpose even if you don’t like me
Still gonna rhyme even if you don’t buy me
Still for the struggle when they try to dollar sign me
[Chorus]
They say I got a problem
I got an issue
But they ain’t lived through
All the shit that I’ve been through
So I got a problem
I hear ‘em all talking
‘Cause they need a subject
And I’ll be the topic (Repeat)
I hear ‘em but I don’t mind
[Verse 2]
Ain’t it funny how the world works?
How the system wanna put a sista down first?
Across the board, it’s just a battle to live
Between a veil and a stripper pole just to feed the kids I refuse to be a victim so I’m taking all the power back
Educatin’ myself first, that’s were the freedom at
I ain’t trippin off the obstacles in front me
‘Cause everyday I’m livin’, I’ma count as a victory Even when I’m gone, I’m immortalized
Judge me by my work and not the folks who wanna criticize
We only got one life, make the best of it
I’m a fighter and my history’s a testament
[Repeat Chorus]
