Desired By Many

stop traffic and cause accidents
dudes try to holla whether I'm in stilettos or chancletas (flip flops)
fresh to def or on some "sweatpants, du- rag" bumish
I still get the attention
looks,stares and grins
on the bus or subway
even just going to do "compra" (grocery shopping) at the bodega
I get double takes
though I try to avoid the attention
I still get double takes from both men and women
