"Simple UpGrade"
  by MissJaiReid


Simple Upgrade

Angry
Disgruntled
Bitter
Black Woman
Those feelings do not come from one man alone
But because of society
I am tired of the constant downgrade of my breed
Bitch
Hoe
Slut
I know you would not call your mother something of such
It took an elderly white man to call your queens “NAPPY HEADS”; before you stood up for us
Now you want to upgrade your lyrics to say you did you part
Oh no my brother
That may not have been where you needed to start
See these sisters still have you raise your sons and your daughters, to be respectable men and women

Don’t upgrade your words
Upgrade your ways
View sisters like me as Queens
Who can rule on her own
And not have to worry about you stealing her throne
Sit, even stand beside her
Comfort her
Soothe her
Make her feel like she is number one
Do this so she doesn’t become this
Angry
Disgruntled
Bitter
Black woman

Don’t let her become a victim of society
You see, society only wants her to be the lowest on the totem pole.
What you don’t realize is that she gave birth to this place we call Earth
She bore the sons and daughters of the world
But for some reason there is still no respect
We are more than just your baby mama
We are the soul
The very core of your world
See some one like me gave you life
And this how you repay
Bitch
Hoe
Slut
Is what you say
Over the years you are the one who have seemed to down grade
Now that we want more
We have to upgrade
Catch up to us my brother
Before you have no where to stand
Left alone
To battle for your own throne
