Fed Up

Revision February 23, 2008

Ladies out there, I have a few words to state

About players, users, bums and ingrates

I've told of this subject again and again

But, this message breaks down why wedon't need any men

I'm sick of men loving and leaving alone

So tiredof seeing girls clinging to the phone

Waiting and hoping this brother will call

Girlfriend, if he cared, he would've stayed, firstof all

And, second, that argument (and that One-Night Thing, too)

It wouldn't have happened if he really didlove you true

Guys trip me out with their “I care about you” crap

I say, “Fuckthe notion `Brothers get a bum rap'!”

Now, to be fair and be just, I must say, it's not allmen

But, with so many fuck ups, they screwed it for allof them

When a potentially “Good Man” steps to a hurt lady

She can prejudgethe man to be shitty or shady

I say, sisters, keep ya head up

Even though you may be fed up

It takes morethan a manto make you a queen

Alone may seem lonely,but, it's not as hard as it may seem

You don't haveto live you life just waiting to exhale

You don't even have to live your life withoutany males

Just realizethat men are not the source of your joy

The love of youtops the love of anyboy

Oh, my bad—I meanta man.I just haven't seenany lately

These words infuriate them and make them want to debate me

I'm unfair, a trip, a liar, and my views are overstated

Say these men, without asking the reasonfor the things I have stated

With his quick-to-talk, but-not-thinkways, one guy said to me, one day

“You need a man and some good lovin'—that'll make you lose your guy*hating ways.”

To get back on that horse and ride into the sunset

Well, sorry guys, but thatman, I haven'tyet met

So, I'll stay fed up for a while because men cramp my style

I may stay single forever (and that's fine with me,child)
