Woman's Rant On a Hot Summer Day

just because you see me walking down 'ho boulevard does not mean i'm for sale... i don't have an advertising sign up inviting you to taste and see a woman can't walk down the street in broad daylight dressed in a baggy t-shirt and sweats rockin' an afro puff on a hot summer day without being propositioned in violation of my rights as a woman to be free from sexual harassment and I’m mad about it my “NO” to your obnoxious offer is real talk and you should know the difference between what’s for sale and what’s not on the auction block so g’long an' lef’ muh tuh walk in peace makes a woman want to carry a concealed weapon and go blasting could never walk the hallways play in the yard or even pray without somebody bothering me pulling on my clothes or grabbing at me for some sick reason the next one is going to get a surprise so g’long an' lef’ muh tuh walk in peace ~in honor of the women who have walked ahead of me...
