WHAT IS GOING ON?!

Yes, I know it is a 2-g, so all my ladies need to wake up a see--
see that you can't be
the strippers on the video on MTV
or half-naked on the cover of Lil Kim's CD.
You say you're willing to live the life,
but are you ready to pay the price?
Are you ready to be viewd,
hav eyour life mosconstrued,
taking pictures in the nude,
have your self-worth bruised,
so you can be liked by funny dudes?
No!
No, I hope not.

What is going on?!
Why is it young ladies want to limit themselves?
Boys play with you like dolls,
then put you back on the shelves.
You get pregnant by a man who is on his way to jail,
and once your stomach gets big he tells you to go to...
Help
me understand

What is going on?!
Is there a book I didn't read
or a movie I didn't see
that told young women they need a body to make a lot of cheese?
Girls these days do things I can barely believe--
if they opened their minds they could improve what they see.

What is going on?!
I'll tell you what is going on!
These young women with no fathers, and mothers who are too busy
they wind up in a trap and their brains spin dizzy.
They get caught up in a game they have no chance to win.
They try to be down but their actions turn to sin.
No one tells them that they're smart or have a future ahead.
They are told their butt is fat, then their whole life is misled.
Now open your eyes, with hope you can strive.
Your body shouldn't be your only tool to survive.
I'm not here to judge, just to make you realize.
before you sell yourself try and use your mind.
