[ Featuring The Poet ]
They say if you call someone stupid often enough, they'll believe it
They'll receive it, own it, show it, dwell in it until they in fact achieve it
I've seen it, especially in children
These impressionable minds tend to blindly bind themselves by what's perceived of them, but mostly the defeat in them
It's in all of us
The limitations we each face are typically displaced aggressions given to us by another person's perception that they've regressed at the behest of someone else's transgression on their identity
Words obscured to be negatively digested have been proven to manifest a destiny detested and reproduced
It's like making sure the fruit is spoiled before putting it in the group
But what about calling the little girls pretty
The attractive apples receive less hassle in the harvest
Even if they are starved of nutrients, their suit will fit the suitor's superficial fix regardless
So to what end do these little girls who've been spoon-fed compliments reach down deep enough to use their common sense to boost their accomplishments
Why would they choose to endure when they're pretty sure
And then men
We pretend to be astonished and disgusted trying to admonish what we've lusted because a woman using her assets for assets is one we deem not to be trusted
But in the end she just took the comments you've thrusted and manifested a lifestyle left beyond your budget
You give a woman anything and she'll make you grow wings
So if she ain't a birdbrain and you can't see past the makeup and lace front, she ain't gonna take a pay cut for you
She'll realize you ain't shit early but will act girly to ensure she gets the big worm on her terms
Yeah, her principalities might be skewed but sex sells and hell, free food tastes better
So go on and pay for that date player and go cry in the shower later if you feel like you're the one that's being used
Ol' bitch ass nigga
And I don't mean to make it seem like beauty is only skin deep or that men should be a skeptic of a queen that possesses a pleasing aesthetic
But it's relevant because of men's nearsighted reflections of themselves
Objects in the mirror should be deeper than they appear
And I've never met a beautiful woman whose pretty insecurities didn't assuredly lead her to second guess the motives of those who chose to remain near out of the fear that they're only being used to boost the egos of the feeble-minded
See them niggas be blinded by her face or her ass or her tits or her waist
It's a double-edged sword being born beautiful and intelligent
Which one is more relevant
So she questions if he's only nice for a price
She questions if he's only nice for one night
She questions if only her looks will suffice
Simply pretty tends to cheapen the depth
The weakness of flesh is that it fades
But if she's only been spoon fed fetishes and no soulful won't remain when the spotlight's dim
Not him
Be mindful of what pride do
Be insightful
More than just hype
We speak of speaking life into others like it doesn't guide you
Like it doesn't become the voice inside you that provides you with your values
Hollow be the soul that's only told about its mold
That shit gets old
Literally
So beyond pretty
You is smart
You is kind
You is important
Ladies
Stay witty
