What Happen

Im trying to figure out 
What has happen 
We as women 
Have turned into a major distraction
We use to have value 
We use to have pride 
And now in our DM,, s 
These guys do slide
What happen to all the things 
Like knowing your worth and being  a queen
We are out looking for attention
Now days guys don't even have to mention 
How smart you are 
How much they really care
Because we present everything out in the air
Back in the day 
It was about love 
Now days its about material things shoes cars and clothes one thing about all that gets old 
But we don't 
Our spirits are rich 
Yet we let people drag us into a ditch
Settling yea that word is coming familiar 
We settle with not just relationships 
But with jobs 
Take it serious and they make it hard 
They want you to  get stuck 
Please hear me out
I've been noticing that  lately please hear  me out 
If there was a dream 
That I ever wish to come true 
Is for us to pick ourselves 
Back up find the value
Yea the guys see your breast your thighs  your but
But leave something  to the  imagination 
Some they would want to touch 
But  not just yet
Stimulate  their mind 
Teach them something  they'll  never forget
Look in the mirror 
I mean really deep
Did you forget you had rhythm  in your feet
Or did you forget the beat
Or the step
Did you  realize where  your help
Where your help came from
Or are you doing it on your own
What if your only option  was to remain strong 
Yea any woman can throw that ass
But in this life  you got to have class 
Not necessarily  school
But of all things we can't be a fool
Or a gardening  tool
As they call a hoe
We got to be a flower that grows
We got to gain that confidence back 
Walk with dignity 
Have your balance 
You are the daughter of a king you can handle it
Young girls continue  to soar
Search deep down what you looking for
Get a better education 
Be all that you can be 
You are our future the world depends  on thee
My young ladies keep your head held high
And know its ok to cry
We all have emotions 
Take a dip in the ocean
For  devotion and time 
Give yourself time to unwind 
You have plenty of time to date these guys 
But right now strive 
Strive to be better than me
To my older sisters 
Let's take our crowns
Stop being half dressed 
Dress in royalty beautiful gowns 
I am Concetta 
And I am a queen
I got everything 
Including my self esteem 
Well I am done for now I have said my part
Ladies let's get back to when we all had good hearts
