by ADCif I wanted a man
I would go out and get one
but that's why I got you
and that's why you're
beautiful to me
cause you ain't trippin
off none of that shit
they try to tell you
that you should be
cause you are a woman
my woman
and your husky voice
drops below the surface
of my consciousness
invigorating my soul
because you swagger
like you got more balls
than any man walkin'
and you walk around
strapped and well-hung
sometimes
just as feminine as you please
and you know I like that shit
cause you my thug princess
and you "butch"
and you wear your hat
backwards
and your muscles flex
in your cut-off t-shirt
when you play ball
and occasionally,
you sag your jeans
and don't none of this
mean a thang
none of this
takes away from what I feel
when the lights go out
when I wrap my arms
around you at night
and when I kiss you
I'm feeling you
a lovely sistah
touching her breasts to my own
cause baby
you bad as hell
uncompromising in your
womanhood
and that's good enough for me
I ain't trippin off what
people say
when we walk down the street
they can call you what they want
cause I know you ain't
trying to be my man
you're beautiful to me
because you woman
my woman.
