Silly Woman by ME[nesha vanity]

SILLY WOMAN

Trees blow past my face, as I race past time

I’m sorry Mama I know I must be out of my mind

But its time for me to go

I know this road is full of mischief and grime

But it’s calling my name and I feel the need to answer it

I gotta play I gotta gamble I gotta blow this dice

Because everything in front of me is glistening and it looks so nice

Don’t be fooled by the eye’s they deceit

But my eye’s mama are like my feet

They move and they go with every rhythm and every beat

So it might be all fools gold but it looks like real gold in the mirror to me

I gotta have it mama the clothes and the jewels

I gotta have that strong black man that stands past 6’2

I gotta ride threw the breeze as my brown hair glows

O mama this is the only way I want to go

No that man don’t have no respect or gain

To increase my mind man mama you slippn today

See all those mental things don’t matter

I’m lookn to the stars mama I don’t have time for this pitter patter

No mama I don’t need no real job or no education

Because all the money in his pockets is what I’m chasen

I’m just gon have that mans kids can’t you see

The goals I’m chasen he won’t want me all covered up and submissive

He wants my body mama and that’s what Ima give him

I’ll wear my skirts so high he can taste my ora

My breast sit so high O no mama I cannot bore him

I’ll do whatever it takes to be covered in his gold

Even if he asked me “baby how bout you give my friends a go”

I’d say yes mama just as fast as I can

Why yes, because I love that man

He allows me mama to see shooting stars

As he lets down the sunroof of his fancy car

O no mama No I don’t feel a bit filthy

See I earned the lifestyle that I’m liven

One-day mama you gon say I’m proud of you reaching for the stars

And doing what you had to do

But now mama I sit on this corner wishing I listened to you

Like you said chasing stars was a empty mission

My man is gone O yes mama he left

For some other woman chasen stars and with a bigger chest

While the wind won’t let me stop running or living

I just wish your words could still flow threw my ears like a river

I’m stuck in the wind without my fancy things

And without you mama to tell me it didn’t mean a thing

What am I without silver and gold?

Without a rich man for me to hold

And you spoke to me mama when I asked myself

Who am I other than someone else’s wealth?

And you answered just as soft as could be

You said “your just a silly woman it use to be in me”.
