The Way I Am

Never asking to be the way that I am;
Only being the way God has made me out to be.
BITCH!
Why am I to be called a female dog because I know who you are.
I never asked to be given the intelligence to see through bullshit.
I told you that I was blessed to love endlessly.
But sorry if left out that I'm also blessed to see when I'm tried to be made a fool of. Love is blind but it doesn't take over my mind.
HOE!
Why am I to be called a hoe because I can pull of the look you wish ya girl had.
Why am I to be called out of my name because I walk the streets with my head held high.
Knowing that the prettiest queen can't touch me.
When God made me he knew what he was doing. He put a mans brain in the badest chick body. As I thank God for all he has blessed me with I wonder why are you upset with me?
I never asked to be with way and only being the way God made me out to be.
