They wanna see
How she’s been victimized
And villianized
Prostituted
And prosecuted
Top of her class
For her it’s always an easy A
They top off her glass
So she tops off their bodies
They wanna see
Her prove she’s not Childish
She’s full of wild bliss
They wanna see
Her smile and feel her kiss
It’s simply a hit and risk
She wears red lipstick
And a scarlet letter to match
She found a feeling of substance
As a substitution for a love she can never have
She’ll pay them back
Over time
With her spine
And her basic line
“I don’t believe in no”
But hey most hoes don’t
