This week's featured poet is Damion Omar Lee.
"Metrocard Divas"
Come Ma please!!
Who you tryna deceive?
Cause I see through all the contacts, fake up and hair weave.
So believe me when I tell you, I'm far from impressed.
You should button up your shirt...because I'm not tryna see your breast!
Is that all you have to offer, some titties and ass?
Well then, you can keep your silicons...I prefer women with class.
These dudes must have you gassed...they'll tell you anything for ass
Have you left feeling scorn because you gave up the pussy fast
Screwface when brothaz pass...unless they showing off some cash
Jesus pieces and platinum grills keep necks injured from whiplash
Mesmerized by tricked out cars and obsessed with rap stars
While your ambitions for that life has you dancing in strip bars
Eye candy indeed, but 'Ma' could barely read
Couldn't understand the contract so she ended up getting G'ed
Her immaturity reflects her mental state
Thought she was intellectual because she used words like "CONVERSATE"
And her idea of a debate "Should I suck him or fuck him?"
Has a passion for fashion, name brand and fresh kicks
Took it as a compliment when I called her Materialistic
And blushes when them Niggaz call her Bitch!!
How about those chicks who be feeling themself?
Defined by her possessions, materials, and wealth
Shit...little does she know, I could care less about her degree
She lost her personality when she gained her P.H.D
Plus with all that education, she missed the secret to success "How is she necessary?"
So see I'm all about autheniticity...you feel?
But just because you appear natural don't make you real
So all you Lauryn Hills with your fashion locks and Neo Soul Fros
Ask you about your heritage, and yet you don't know
So when I see you reppin the Red, the Black, and the Green
I know it's all just for show
Oh yeah...you Latino Mommies who want to deny the fact
Always with the "What up my Nigga?"...but won't admit you're black!!!
Sistaz always complain how brothaz ain't shit...but forget "YOU ARE WHO YOU ATTRACT"!!!
Now I'm sorry if you feel my poem lacks tact
My intentions aren't to attack, so don't take it like that
I'm just a voice for the brothaz who choose to hold back
And to let y'all know there is more to the world than Coach Bags and MAC
There are still good brothaz out there, so please cut us some slack!!!
Cause...I'M NOT TO BLAME FOR THE PAIN THAT WAS CAUSED BY PREVIOUS CATS!!!
