(The Woman) in Me
As far back as I can remember
I’ve always been attracted to the SAME GENDER.
As early as the tender age of three
I first started playing with MISS BARBIE.
My first boy crush was in the 3rd grade
That’s when I fell in love with BOY TRADE.
When it came to hop-scotch and double-dutch
This fierce gay diva was all TOO MUCH.
Every time I would play the game, touch football
If a boy had tackled me, I wasn’t bothered AT ALL.
Although I did get my share of Tonka toys
What I really wanted were the OTHER BOYS.
Because another boy could be my spouse,
My favorite game was PLAYING HOUSE.
Even though I enjoyed watching Superman
My favorite show was really WONDER WOMAN.
Finally, at the age of nineteen,
This princess became A QUEEN.
Thanks to a man 10 years older
My attitude became MUCH BOLDER.
When I started to serve the Cleopatra Jones
The haters learned to leave me ALONE.
For any of them who was ready to get down
I was too ready to return it like FOXY BROWN.
Straight to the center with a cold dart,
My first love gave me my first BROKEN HEART.
Night cruising for some sexual parley
I realized I didn’t want to risk dying THAT WAY.
By leaving the Bible belt to find myself
I had to learn to depend on NO ONE ELSE.
After a few rounds with trial & error
My road in life became MUCH CLEARER.
Accepting the fact that I’m an effeminate man
I’ve learned to live my life the best way that I CAN.
Letting the world know that I’m openly-gay
With a face of pride, I walk life’s VISCIOUS RUNWAY.
To the critics of the way that I talk
You should really be envious of the way that I WALK.
Whenever I have to interrupt my switch
I quickly turn (3) times and reveal the BITCH!
With the knowledge that I’ve received from my Mother
I know I must use it to become a STRONG BROTHER.
By revealing the “whereabouts” of where I’ve been
I’ll use it as a source to TEACH THE CHILDREN.
As a Virgo, a “daughter” of the Goddess of Love
It’s my duty, through spoken word, to SPREAD LOVE.
And for those of you who view me as a “fruit”
You must admit that I’m a bad PIMP & PROSTITUTE!
