It Takes More

The things that you promote
Fighting, violence, like you don't want to grow
You're talking so much sex, but you don't tell the youts about AIDS and you don't tell them about consequence, no
You're talking like you a G
But you a killer killing your own, you're just a racist man's fassy
Tell me who wants to know
What, when, who, where and how you do your hoe?

Certainly not, me
Certainly not, me
'Cause baby personally, I like to be challenged mentally

I've heard it all before
Gangsters, pimps and whores
Quality is poor
A girl likes me needs more

It takes more, to amuse a girl like me
So much more, to confuse a girl like me
They got you, while you're bragging about your badness
You're just avoiding, adding to the real shit that's happening to us

Who gives a damn about the ice on your hands?
If it's not too complex
Tell me, how many Africans died for the baguettes on your Rolex?
So what, you pushing a nice car?
Don't you know there's no such thing as superstars?
We leave this world alone
So who gives a shit about the things you own?

Certainly not, me
Certainly not, me
'Cause baby personally, I like to be challenged mentally

Context is insignificant
And it don't help to pay my rent
It's pure negativity, that you impose on we

It takes more, to amuse a girl like me (It takes more)
So much more, to confuse a girl like me (So much more)
They got you, cos while you're bragging about your badness (They got you)
You're just avoiding, adding to the real shit that's happening to us

Now I can sit and chat, spit about how I sex
But my business is my business, I got self respect
Can talk 'bout how my press could pimp man's dough
Get the keys to his ride and his home
But I looked it up and that would make me a hoe
Little sisters, now I really gotta let you know
Real women ain't sexing for no man's dough
Real women work hard to make their own
And we can all chat 'bout gats and blacks on blacks
Enforce the hypes and all the stereotypes
But yutes are watching, that's not what I'm here for
Show them to think higher and aspire to be more

It takes more, to amuse a girl like me (It takes more)
So much more, to confuse a girl like me (So much more)
They got you, while you're bragging about your badness
You're just avoiding, adding to the real shit that's happening to us

It takes more, to amuse a girl like me (It takes more)
So much more, to confuse a girl like me (So much more)
They got you, while you're bragging about your badness
You're just avoiding, adding to the real shit that's happening to us
