You’re so much more than your breast and thighs

Short dresses and stilettos

Showing all for men’s eye

Leaving nothing for the imagination

Then wonder why he doesn’t want to date you

Or romance you

He just wants a chance to

Get in the bed with you

And guess what?

You’re so much more than being labeled a baby mama

Withholding your child from their father due to personal hatred

Standing with your hand out

Wanting more

Money that is

So you can get your hair and nails done

Buy red bottoms and be turnt up in the club

Dancing to Drakes’ song, “No New Friends"

But letting all the fellas get a sample of that groupie love

While your baby is at home struggling to read

Barely enough to eat

And you wonder why?

Children get older and have a lack of respect

Because they see their mother acting as if she’s worthless

Keeping no good men in the house and around them

While their father is begging to see them

Getting locked up due to inaccurate reasons

But this is ok?

This is how we want our children raised?

Right?

They see these things

And try to turn away

But that same ignorant blood flows through their veins

So why do you think its ok for your daughter to twerk?

These young boys’ minds are already at work

Trying to get her alone

Trying to figure out

They just need a few minutes

So that they can get off

And then when it’s said and done

She’s the one labeled a hoe

But this girl had no guidance

So hoe is all she knows

With doors closed

No one knows that hidden behind her legs

Was a razor that she wanted to use to make all the confusion end

All she wanted was to feel love

And this is how she was shown

Seeing her mother act a fool

Every weekend she was home

So in turn she inherited

This degrading trait

Feeling like the only way to receive love

Was to give it away

Until that day

Someone special came into play

Took her to church

And taught her how to kneel down and pray

Told her if she believed and confessed

All her sins would be washed away

That she doesn’t have to live the life of others

But to find her own way

Now this beautiful flower

Has bloomed and excelled

Left and went away to college

Allowing Jesus to take the wheel

Moral is you can turn away from your past

Once you accept Jesus

Your past is just that

Yes

They are gonna hate

They are gonna talk

But the power within you

Makes it so much easier to walk

Away

From the negativity

That may

Try to reclaim

And persuade

And say

That you are still that young girl who gave it away

That you’re no better than your mother

And your father didn’t love you

But trust you have another parent

That places no one else above you

And your mate will learn of your former life

But will still appreciate, love and console you

Won’t allow another to degrade you

Because God placed him as the head

And if they disrespect you they disrespect him as well

See you made it from the slums of where you came from

And in God’s image you were crafted

Placed as a one of a kind model

People may know of your past

But where you are headed

You’ll have no time to reminisce  

You’ll be too busy starting your business, getting that college degree,

Buying a new car or house, starting your own family tree

To be looking behind you

Worried about the hate of the enemy

Understand

What God’s hands have set before you

Your enemies will be blessed to see
