in a dream i had
seems recent as 15 years
somethin' 'bout
not being pretty
enough to be the
perfect
All-American
Princess
so i purg'd myself
of everything that
i needed
it was how i learn'd
to deal with frustration
not feeling so hot-2-trot
about my own inner image
regardless of reason
but you people,
you have NO excuse
see, i still have a brain
but i ain't as insane
as those who claim to speak
for me
Congress, time to take off your halos
and here me right now. . .
when i said "i do" that meant
my business was not between thee
and my parents, but between
my man Michael, and me
that forsake mother and father thing,
well, unfortunately it still applies
as much as my ability to breathe
too bad i can't write a letter
to The Hill, tell them to
take a chill pill, and leave,
just leave my case to those
who by God's special grace
were given a degree to use
some common sense, not bow
to the needs of some religious
holy rollers who may feel
that somehow they don't need
to repent. . . see there are
way to many hungry, dying for food
when you took away their livelihoods,
forced them on the street corners
selling their bodies
for drugs, booze and food
there are too many people
who can't make it to work
with the price of a gallon
of gas owned by jerks
there are too many illness
left undisclosed, not enough
for insurances paid thru the nose
there are too many prisons
pack'd tight like the boats
of the ancestral slaves
who were worth less than goats
don't come at me with all
of this right-to-life balk
when the real problems rise
all you're good at is talk
yeah, my voice could go on,
oh, but don't judge me rude
God has freed life in spirit
that means more than some tube
