Can't A Girl Rhyme? (Spoken Word)
Can't a girl rhyme
I mean
What's seems to be the Crime
To let a girl rhyme
From time to time
You see poetry
Is Ever so Fine
Like a Woman's body
Painted on a Canvas
Let her shine
Let her shine
Like a Glass of Wine
A fine form of art and expression
When it seems like too much
We dive into oppression
Keep our emotions bottled up
Like a Genie in recession
Clinging to some hope and prayer
To be lead in the right direction
Emotional suppression
Later turns into depression
But you see
I'm the type of woman
To leave a big impression
Can't a Girl Rhyme
I mean... What is a rhyme
Can you answer the question
Anytime Anytime
You think that you can rhyme
About the actual word defined
But when it comes to the design
Take a pen and paper
Write some lines
Make sure the words align
And the Concept is combined
As I sit and take my time
Putting together
What's rightfully mine
As I recite these lyrics
They sounding so divine
Once again I ask is it a Crime
To let A Girl spit
Not saliva but just a silly skit
Or detailed story
About her life and shit
I must admit
This world ain't what it used to be
The realists must submit
Take a moment to reflect
But please do not neglect
I shall repeat that line once again
So you comprehend
That it will not lose its effect
I said
The realists must submit
Submit to what
The mediocrity in our ears
The monstrosity in our peers
The philosophy behind our tears
And the religiosity behind our fears
Can't a girl rhyme
I mean it's just that pure simplicity
When the words
Are put together specifically
And the voice of femininity
Express the Relativity
Sure a Girl can rhyme
But is it appreciated
Is it acknowledged and embraced
Must we initiate it
Does it take a special kind of girl
To be accepted in this world
This world of art and expressions
Performance, music sessions
Revealing your heart mind and body
Let's change body to soul
Because revealing your body
Is getting kinda old
You see what people
Fail to understand is that
Our story must be told
And you can't win the ears of man
If his eyes are already sold
You must capture his mind
With your words of gold
Can't a girl rhyme
Without being objectified
Prancing around stage in stilettos
Her presence solidified
But the moment she speaks up
The crowd look petrified
Intimidated by history
Nah
Let me correct that Her Story
By her grace and by her glory
It's such a cold world
Ain't it homie
Can't a girl rhyme
But I'm starting to
Sound repetitive
The answer remains in deficit
What's up wit that
What Has the industry
So competitive
Can't share her goals and dreams
Without trying to outshine
Her relatives
Every woman viewed as her Nemesis
The men in her life are all Menaces
Tell me whose in charge of acceptances
Living in a world full of
Impressionists
Man lemme slap the word
In ya face
We can start with Genesis
Can't A Girl Rhyme
A question wit no answer
Becomes rhetorical
Standing up for all my Sista's
Now that's supportable
From the Mc Lytes to Missy
Lauryn's the Kim's and Nicki's
Foxy, Da Brat, Eve, Lumidee
Salt n Peppa, Left Eye and Ivy Queen
Trina, Charlie B, Latifah the Queen
Even Rising stars like Barbie LuhVee
From femcee to femcee
D'Vour, Chany,
Ashira, GC, Sincerity
Being Taught by Toni Blackman
The Freestyle Queen
I could name so Many
But the poem would go to infinity
The Music is heard
And I ain't gotta sing like a bird
Just a simple question
Turned into a poem
Can't a girl rhyme
Hell Yeahh
When you see em
You'll know em
I mean
What's seems to be the Crime
To let a girl rhyme
