LADIES OF MAGIC...by talile ali
IT'S A SHAME TO SEE
BUT IT'S EVEN HARDER TO EXPLAIN
WHILE YOUR OUT PLAYIN THE FIELD
YOUR KID'S ARE SEEIN' IT PLAIN
THEY SEE YOU GOIN OUT
AND COMIN BACK REAL LATE
SMELLING LIKE TIRED SEX
FROM SOME MIS BEGOTTEN THANG
YOU MAY'VE BEEN DRUNK A BIT
BUT THEY KNOW IT'S AN EXCUSE
YOU MAY AS WELL BE SOBBER
AND SAVE ON ALL THAT JUICE
YOU'RE THEIR LIVING EXAMPLE
OF WHATS CALLED WOMAN HOOD
THEY WOULD NEVER CONSTRUE ANY OF
THE THING'S YOU DO AS NOT GOOD
YOU ARE THE EXAMPLE THEY SEE
AND FOLLOWING IN KIND
THATS WHY YOUR BABY GIRLS ARE ALL
NOT DOING SO FINE
THEY HEAR STUFF FROM THEIR FRIENDS
THEY CAN NEVER TELL YOU
ABOUT THEIR MOMMA'S DOINGS
AND ALL THE BOY'S FROM SCHOOL
BROTHERS, COUSINS, NEPHEWS
FRIEND OF THE FAM, AND PRIEST
WHEN YOU SQUAT WHERE YOU LIVE
YOU NEVER WILL KNOW PEACE
AND THEY JUST GRIN AND BEAR IT
AND KNOW THATS WHAT MOM WILL DO
AND THAT'S WHY DAD IS STEWING MAD
AND THATS WHY MOM'S SO BLUE
THERE'S ARE A LOT OF STORIES
AND MOST OF THEM ARE TRUE
AND IN THEIR TRAGIC GLORY
THEY HELP TO MEND A FEW
THE PATH TO SELF ENLIGHTENMENT
THE PATH TO MAKING DOUGH
THE PATH TO BEING HUMANE
THE PATH A COUGAR MAY KNOW
ALL OF LIFES A STORY
JUST WAITING TO UNFOLD
AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW THIS STORY
EVER WILL BE TOLD
SO, TO YOU LITTLE LADIES
WHO'S MOM'S OUT GETTING LAID
DON'T LOOK AT THIS AS GUIDELINE'S
DON'T SEE IT AS THE WAY
INSTEAD SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS
THE TRUTH'S THAT IT CONVEYS
THERE'RE MANY PATHS BEFORE YOU
AND MOST HAVE BRIGHTER WAYS
WITH PROMISES TO FULFILL
TO WORK TOWARDS EVERY DAY
LITTLE LADIES OF MAGIC
MOST DEAR TO MY HEART
THIS SONG IS FOR YOU IN THESE DAY'S
AS YOU GO GENTLY INTO THE DARK
THERE IS A BRIGHTER FUTURE
JUST WAITING THERE FOR YOU
TO SHOW UP AND DO WONDERS
AND AMAZE WITH ALL YOU DO
DON'T JUDGE YOUR MOM SO HARSHLY
SHE'S TRYING TO HAVE FUN
SHE'S DOING WHAT SHE HAS TO DO
SHE'S LOST A BIT, AND SOME
A COUGAR PROWLS FOREVER
SEACHING FOR SOMETHING NEW
ON HER QUEST OF DOING
SHE FORGOT ME AND YOU
