Lady Don't Tek No
The lady don't take no shit
Insists on respect
The sister walk around like a woman is
She won't speak 'less it's something worth sayin'
Don't play, the girl take herself so seriously
People stare curiously
She got a natural way
Her hips sway furiously
Yet luxuriously
Carries herself like the cutest most prettiest
Thing you've seen this side of the Bay
Go about her business so purposefully
She got a razor sharp wit
And she just won't quit
Flauntin' it
Body built like a house made outta brick
She got the smile, the style and finesse
Compounded with a blessed and profound intellect
Select few have ever seen her butt naked
And they too wanna see the rep protected 'cause
She don't like violence
But she can throw them things
So don't let your guard down
Her thighs are soft but her eyes are hard
You can't just try tell her, c'mon now
She digs Angela Davis, Alice Walker, Nicki Giovanni, oh honey
Say she wanna be a doctor and an author
And someday I'm sure she'll gonna be treatin' somebody
School and street smarts
Girl ain't no dummy
Want economic empowerment
And it ain't about the money
The boys and guys both all start act funny
Whenever the queen is coming around the town, yeah
Sweet and tight
London and Rome
Outta sight, dynamite
With a freaky show
That you can't quite see
But she can't quite hide
And it lies in her gentle command of the night
Wherever you took my head, baby send it home (send it on home)
I really think I lost my edge ('cause this female is on a whole new throne, yeah)
All the clerks wanna offer you help
Older folks compliment your style (yeah)
Little children wanna jump in your lap
Girl, I wanna do that myself
She ain't no innocent Hello Kitty dream
She's commited sins and ain't finished yet
But because of her disposition
She ain't subject to criticism
That's why the other women started mimicking
She ain't tripping off no images
Her interests are all limitless
She ain't limited by inhibitions, Lord
Boundless imagination
She bounced this idea off me, Jack
That had me out in space
Somewhere just floatin" not knowin the way back
You know I can't always fathom
Everything that you're saying 'bout half the time
But when I hear your voice you support your point
But only that body language, girl
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright now
I look right in your eyes
Ask you how'd you get so neat
(How'd you get so deep)
And just when I think I know your style
I notice something I ain't peeped
(Don't give me no silent treatment, girl)
When I meet you, I'm gonna try and be there
I'mma prove to you, baby girl, that I care about ya
'Cause I sense something subtly rare about you
A certain savoir faire in the air about you
Insists on respect
The sister walk around like a woman is
She won't speak 'less it's something worth sayin'
Don't play, the girl take herself so seriously
