about

Inspired by Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman".

lyrics

V1- Pretty women wonder where my secret lies/ I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion models size/ But when I start to tell them, they think I’m telling lies./ I say it’s in the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips/ I’m a woman, phenomenally./ Phenomenal woman, that’s me./ I walk into a room just as cool as you please/ and to a man, the fellows stand or fall down on their knees/ then they swarm around me, a hive of honey bees, but the eyes of every woman’s on me. I’m noticing a trend. I see that sisters get to hating when another sister is all up on her a-game. Wait a minute. Sister, if we’re supposed to be on the same team, then why are you calling me outside of my name? Could it be that we’ve been programmed by TV programs to be needy, competing for men that don’t know us? And even less than that, don’t even love us? Or are we just **tches with chips on our shoulders? I’m not a dog but, we’ve got a dogma that it’s a dog eat dog world. Eat proper. Seize the gist, heed to this, feed your conscience godliness and that’ll be exactly what you digest.





V2 (Badia)- W-O -M-A-N, let me re-iterate
again, woman phenomenal props to Maya Angelou
Don't have to talk real loud and jump about showing what I can prove
The click of my heels, the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand I move...
up on this mic lettin you scope my inner mystery
I share w/ women all across the globe be GOLD not GLITTERY
No insult to injury, we all the same and meant to be
Not vindictive, but within having the victory
me and Ms. Monroe came to tell ya take a deep breath
Latifah sparked the U.N.I.T.Y as the request
No jealousy we don't compete to be the meekest
we just tell you who the winner is like Seacrest
you guessed, JESUS the reason
we phenomenal women effort-less-ly so ease up
we ain't got time to be petty
We lookin to the one who's faithful until the day of completion





V3- Ms. Monroe is what they call me/ Yeah, the fella’s adore me/ Treat me like a lady. Open up the doors for me/ Expect nothing less./ What you give is what you get./ I never neglect my ladies all over the map. I see you. Doing your thing, but I still wouldn’t want to be you./ Sure of this thing, I’m one in a million. Aaliyah. Tipping over the scale. This jawn would sale cause I know yall need this on your block. Cop it, put it on your cell. Some would describe my rhymes as phenomenal. I hope they cause a ripple effect like a domino. Vaminos. Let’s turn the heat up, degrees up. Graduate from A “B” to “C” eeing yourself as a queen, love. Like Aretha, respect is demanded. I’m salty, plus I light up a room like a lantern. In your panoramic view watch this go boom like a cannon. Enterprise for the wise, no fool would understand it or comprehend it.
