Media Girl

You're not her, so what you doin'?
Girl open your eyes and look at what you're pursuin'
A faux amore granted by the media's influence
Mmm is that you?
'Cause I, I-I-I couldn't tell
Puttin' yourself through hell
'Cause the hos on the TV sayin' "Might as well
'Cause if your titties ain't D's, not rockin' Chanel
Waist anorexic, ass like the shelf
Of the books you ain't readin," You're smarter than that
You're beautiful to me don't need that crap
Not cursin' at you 'cause you don't deserve it
God made you the way that you are so perfect
But all these surgeries and these financial things
That you think that you need to impress us is worthless
"Not to me," To me though
"Why?" 'Cause I know
"What?" Who you were before the media
But you don't

Like stars fallin' right through the sky
Your mind's runnin' like river Nile
But we're just goin' with the times, times (Ooh, whoa)
Life's a paradise while you die
Is that what you want now, darlin'?
Is that what you need now, lady?
The moon and the sky comes crashin' down
Who said it would be that easy?

Observant little girl in front of the screen
Watchin' these housewives kick and scream
Talentless women attention they fiend
Are these the things that our future will bring
I pray not 'cause if this is so
I promise I will not let go
Of the chokehold that I put you in
For callin' the woman in my life stupid hos
And I don't really give a damn if it's a song
Bitch wrong is wrong
And every single person that's singin' along
Needs to think about the message they are carryin' on
What ever happened to the "soul sistas?"
And what happened to your soul, sista?
Your ego took control of the show and now there's a blackhole you can't close, I miss ya
"But I'm here," You're not though
"Why not?" 'Cause I know
"What?" Who you were, before the media
But you don't

Like stars fallin' right through the sky (Right through the skies)
Your mind's runnin' like river Nile (Like river Nile)
But we're just going with the times, times (Ooh, woah)
Life's a paradise while you die (No, Nah, Nah)
Is that what you want now, darlin'?
Is that what you need now, lady? (Oh)
The moon and the sky comes crashin' down
Who said it would be that easy? (Ooh)
