Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle
at 8th wonderfuls
wonder fills small minds
that make no time
for sincerity...for sincerity
God-fruit, we
sugary, plentiful
Not rib bone alone
soul, home
No, evil does not derive from my name
No, evil does not derive from my name
Fertilizer feeds the earth
but from the earth come the flowers
But from the earth come...
the flowers
the flowers
the flowers
Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle

wonder fills small minds
that make no time

Empty
the pretend praise
raised brows and penises
await response from fly Venus'
who grace each sidewalk square
with a mastery of movement and mod
misadmired by the masses
All they can or want to see
are scantily clad asses that swing
and beg to be slapped
during self satisfying sex
Say my name
Ain't no sistas or mommas here to protect
just tricks and bitches to catch
in traps
of covert compliments and Jesus’ judgment
Strong-willed women and divas seen as
asking-for-it, homewrecking whores with
no morals
Sounds like Salem and slavery to me
Ungracious, ungrateful eyes oggle
at 8th wonderfuls
wonder fills small minds
that make no time
for sincerity
Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle

Now, I was born a slave, a rebel, an inherent queen no
thing,
situation or person can steal my birthright I came
forth in the
night a force to be unreckoned with you sure you want
to get with
this
Some may attempt to falter my steps...knock me
down...but I am
resilient...I just bounce
I...just...bounce
I...just...bounce
I...just...bounce
Able to leap small minds in a single bound
Land feet first on the ground
I abound with...Shelectricity
I'ma sing my womansong...make you listen to me
I'ma sing my womansong...make you listen to me
make you listen
make you listen
While you covet my rhythm
Why you treat me like the unforgiven
Call me mystery...like the Shroud of Turin
I'm more than
I'm more than
I'm more than
I'm more than
I'm more than...that

Ain't your doormat, your sugar tit
your own personal supply of bliss
your in-house ass to kick
I ain't your doormat, your sugar tit
your in-house supply of bliss
your own personal ass to kick
You better rethink this
You better rethink this
You better rethink this
