Poetic Podcast Episode 15 Bop
I may have that thing you can’t explain,
a style brushed with a touch of success;
Still you missed my hard working hands;
When some gave up on me? I pressed on.
Now tell me again why you think it’s ok,
why you have the right to any part of it?
Your lethargic attitude is not entitled to my grit;
I had to work hard for what I have;
Go ahead get defensive, call me names;
Doesn’t alter my history or your lack of;
Champion of ambition and the hustle,
I never follow an unmotivated narrative;
Don’t want the hard way? That’s cool;
What happens if I take a paved road too?
So many women working for their dreams,
the financially stable now wear a target.
Your lethargic attitude is not entitled to my grit;
I had to work hard for what I have;
With equal effort this point would be moot,
yet culture is taking us in another direction;
You can see we have our lives together;
We don’t need saving and can’t save you;
Try to stake a claim on our name?!
You will wind up thrown from the saddle.
Your lethargic attitude is not entitled to my grit;
I had to work hard for what I have.
