Being young and female in America, you watch a lot of T.V., and you grow up on false images of what love truly is. We think the man with the best rap will protect and save us, about it's not usually that way. Then you learn love is something deeper and purer in form.
For a while, the genre seemed to be just about sex and crime. Rappers are storytellers; the stories don't need to be true!

If I should fall asleep and death takes me away, Don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay.
So while you're imitating Al Capone, I'll be Nina Simone, And defacating on your microphone

Let me break it down for you again, You know I only say it because I'm truly genuine: Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem.
You might win some, but you just lost one.
I know you don't wanna hear my opinion, There come many paths and you must choose one. And if you don't change then the rain soon come. See, you might win some, but you just lost one.

Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas, back stabbers do this
I'm a mess but God is dealing with me every day. That's what all these songs are about: problem, cause and solution.
Wow, this is so amazing. I thank God. This is crazy because this is hip-hop music.
