What A Lady

Head held up so high
Eyes up, never down
Hips sway side to side
On her head there's a crown
Back straight and she walks like she's walking on air
Well groomed from her clothes,
to her nails, to her hair
So beautiful she is
So lovely in deed
Her one and only goal in this life, to succeed
The love for herself,
so pure so deep
The road that she's traveled,
so hard, so steep
She fell so many times
But you would never know
Cause she's learned to get up and get on with the show
her heart is so warm
But her face is so hard
A lady of course, but a lady that's scarred
She cooks and she cleans
And takes care of the kids
She works, her feet hurts
But she handles her biz
So Classy, So Sassy
So different, So Unique
So wise it's a pleasure, just to hear her speak
She's learned what she should have learned so long ago
Those years of crying and fighting and struggling and so
So blinded by love and desire and lust
Hurt so many times, it's impossible to trust
Now she's strong, no longer ignorant
But she's mistaken as crazy

MAN O MAN......

What A Lady!!!!!

She works and she does what she has to, to eat
her kids always look good
articulate when she speaks
She grew up in the hood, no she didn't have the best
But who defines what the best is
She is now without stress
She loves but she's cautious
Eyes open no games
No lies and no bullshit
She's been down that lane
Come correct with respect
No more "Sexy", or "Hey Baby"
Cause if you really knew her story
you would say


WHAT A LADY!!
