Ain't no shame in yo' game girl

Men be playin it all the time

Ain't no crime in yo' rhyme girl

You just keep tryin to get yours

Cause you know

I'll be tryin to get mine

Don't need no reason for the season

Don't need no false grin upon yo' chin

Don't need no man to tell you how yo' lookin'

Cause what you got to be

Is lookin' in

Ain't nobody but yo'self

You need to answer to

And if a man be tellin' you otherwise

You need to be telling him yo' through

Ain't no question you can ask yo'self

You ain't already got

The answer to

Just open up girl

Wade through that shit's been piled up

Behind yo' eyes and recognize

Cause you know

what's comin' next, girl

Don't be actin' all surprised

It's just like Mama Lena always said

You got it in ya, girl

You got it in ya

And whatever it is for you

You got to find it for yo'self

Cause ain't nobody else

can find it for ya

Girl, you just got to be

That's right be

Be in your own body

Be in your own mind

Don't be sittin there thinking bout

What some man think of yo' behind

Come back up into yo'self

and recognize

You are a goddess girl

You are a queen

Can't listen to no one else

and what they say they be seein'

you got to see it for yo'self girl

you got to be in your own self girl

you got to be

A wise woman once said,

'everyone's just tryin' to be happy'�

and she's too true

Cause no matter what they do

or what they done to you

it all comes down to this

they all just tryin' to be happy

with where they're goin'

trying to be happy with

where they're at

We're all just searchin for our own bliss

and you may find it in some man's kiss

but that shit's fleeting

that shit don't last

What you got to do is open up girl

what you got to do is find it in you

then you carry it with you and there it is

wherever you may be

and if you find yo'self in some man's arms

succumbed to his wildly delicious irresistible charms

it will be there too

cause you brought it

But if you be waitin' on someone else

to bring yo' bliss to yo' front door

be it in a look or a dance or a kiss or

maybe a little something more

you gonna be waitin' a long damn time

and so I wrote for you this rhyme

to be telling you

not to lecture or to preach to you

not to judge you for what you do

or do not do

because I am where your at

tryin' not to let my insecurities

get the best of me

tryin' to be happy with

what I've got

and I'm just tellin' you what I keep

tellin' myself

hoping one day

I'll believe

you are a goddess

you are a queen

you are a woman, girl

and that ain't no small thing

No matter what others may say

or try to say away

you got to bring it with you girl

you got to bring it on

c'mon

let me hear you say it now

I am a goddess           I am a queen

I am a woman                  and that ain't

no small thing

I am a goddess           I am a queen

I am a woman and           that ain't no

small thing

I am a goddess           I am a queen

I am a woman                  and that ain't

no small thing
