"Black Woman, we want shit too"

"Black Woman, we want shit too" 

See I am 

a BLACK WOMAN. 

and I like 

most other women 

in the world 

want shit too. 

But this world 

keeps telling me 

that I don't 

deserve to have 

a Black husband 

or Black wife 

nor some BLACK 

BABIES, not even 

a good job 

can a Black 

Women have without 

jumping through unbalanced 

hoops

The only thing 

I seem to 

be good for 

in the eyes 

of this world 

is for taking 

off my clothes 

and popping my 

vagina in your 

face to sell 

you the idea 

of on sex 

with me a 

Black woman 

"Im so disgusted

with this world 

I can hardly 

breathe"

(Andre 3000 "Sorry", 

Heavy is the 

head)

I am a 

Black woman 

and I want 

shit too. 

I want to be 

loved on and 

hugged and squeezed 

Not called a 

bitch by men 

and women. Not 

grabbed on streets 

because you think 

my body is 

a play house 

for your undiscussed 

fantasy. 

Not relegated to 

being barefooted and 

pregnant. 

I am a 

black woman and 

I want shit 

too. 

My dream consist 

of classroom and 

pitter patter. I 

want to be 

someones mother more 

than I want 

to be a 

doctor but the 

way this world 

is set up 

Im scared to 

reproduce because none 

of the fruit 

from my tree 

will become strange 

fruit 

you see the 

revolution may not 

be televised thats 

because its taking 

place between my 

thighs. 

I am forced 

to have to 

close the shop 

changing the game 

and we ain't 

gonna take this 

shit no more. 

See I am 

a black woman 

and I want 

shit too. 

Not half assed 

shit real shit. 

Meet your grandmother, 

talk to your 

father and build 

family we are 

the black bone 

the titanium and 

the Ivory for 

you, now and 

they cousins too. 

We make your 

arm look good. 

We are not 

trophy wives, pillow 

princesses, push overs 

and please note 

we catch every 

lie but because 

we want things 

too and the 

world has told 

us we can 

not have those 

good things sometimes 

we settle, we 

settle with just 

You... 

Please keep in 

mind that We 

are black women 

and we want 

shit too...
