A Great Woman

There are many reasons why men look at us women differently than we view ourselves. If we don't present to them the way that we feel inside then they will continually judge our book by it's cover. If you don't show a man how you want to be treated, then  you will never gain the respect that is yours. So let's be great women and present ourselves with pride and respect.

A Great Woman

　

Behind every great man stands a great woman

This is an understatement, a mistake, a misunderstanding

Everybody knows that

Because there is no way I’m following behind you

One, two, or however many steps

The only step up you have on me is when you step up to open the door

So I can walk through

And you know I’m speaking the truth

I do have the option to stand in front of you

But a lot of time I choose to stand by your side

But never behind

Yes you are known as a provider, but I can provide too

And a lot of times it seems as though I’m the one providing for you

You are supposed to be the driver

Yet you always want me to drive

And in rough times, you are supposed to carry me

But I choose to walk

Baby you are never about it

All you do is talk

Nonsense that I never understand

Tell me again the reason as to why I should stand behind a man

Who could care less whether or not he treats me unfair

But I’ll tell you this

I Don’t Care

And I will wear my heels, look sexy, be proud, and stand tall

And believe me or not I can be that one without balls

They aint nothing but a hand magnet when you feel you have to prove your manhood

And even though I don’t have them

I wouldn’t grab on them if I could

I’m more of a woman than you will ever think I am

I’m not just here to cook your mac and cheese, collard greens and candied yams

I’m here to be your soul mate

And not your do what I say girl

Making love to a man is not the only thing that satisfies my world

I like to feed my intellect and achieve my goals

No matter how much you may think of us as bitches and hoes

I’m here, and I’m here for a reason

And lately it seems that a lot of men are only in my life for a season

But that’s not something that makes me feel that I am less of a woman

It shows me that I am too much of a woman

Because not just any man can handle the fire that I possess

His love beats for me

But it’s too much for his chest

So he needs a rest, to digest, the best

That he has ever had

And I don’t care if you get a little uneasy

Because I am a great woman

And I will never stand behind anyone

So you better believe me

Because beside every Great Man stands a Great Woman

Always
