Loss of Self Respect (Ode to Ladies)
Before a man can love you
You must first love yourself
Happiness does not come from another individual
It must first come from self
Thinking you gone get that man
By trapping him with a child
Next thing you standing before a judge
Because of non support you have filed
During the day like a street walker
The local Walmart you walk about
Leaving nothing to the imagination
Because of your breast and butt hanging out
Women have come a long way
But where did we lose our self respect
It's time we come back to our senses
And our dignity we try to protect.

Women have come a long way
But where did we lose our self respect
It's time we come back to our senses
And our dignity we try to protect.
