Womanizer
We were silent in the night but everybody knew
How come I was the only one who didn't have a clue
You lier
Womanizer
Objectifier
I'm Fucking tired of it
Sneaking round the campus
Like we're hiding from ourselves
I could tell you looked away
This wouldn't last
Under no spell
Well I quelled my inspiration
Now I've got an ink and a pen
With the touch of a feather
I'm filled with hope
And write again
Just another story
Just another loss of glory
Just another lesson learned
Just a match and fire burned
But didn't commit arson
But he never set me up
Or did I fall into his trap where he could take and take and use me up
Shut up
I'm done
Close the door
Wanna run
But it's what I always do but I'm not running back to you
Back to me
Where I see
in my glasses cleanest scene
It's serene I'm with me
By a lake and sipping grapes
Life is perfect wasn't worth it but emotions are to be felt
I'm on this earth for a reason
You were just a small card delt. So I'll give it back I got a Jack won't need it for this game.
Cause now I'm playing poker
And now I'm behind the wheel
And now I am the house
So I take what I want to steal
The zeal of opportunity
The feel of running your own destiny
And no matter what happens I know something new will begin
But as times change
and I change
the house always wins.

Late night talks
Your gorgeous
Don't let anybody dull your sparkle
Eyes light up like a purchase
When talking bout life and it's purpose
We're gorgeous
All of us who've been down and doubted
Shrouded in the negative
Put on a cover up
Wrap yourself in warmth and love cause the truth is your beautiful with hoodies on or off
The power within us
As we walk in a V every woman in this world shouldn't have to believe
The ridicules of idiots
Starting wars and dudes who say, with her I scored
I want to arm each woman with a sword
Win the battle through bloodshed that our female rage is eager for
The world is our break room
Yet we don't ever make a move
Cause we're smarter than to think violence can change the mood of years of built up chauvinist waves corrupting history like a monsoon.
On a stage and the audience claps
But we're waiting in the wings cause
We see the set desighn
That's created this whole thing

JQs kindergarten game
We called it predator and prey
But anyway
Out on the tennis court
Can't catch the cheater
Come up with your own creature
No one knows if they can beat her
Land or water
A tag of the wild
You can't leave the square of red or blue, water may leave you drowning
But to make it fair we'd have a pool
As fair as fair as kindergarten could be
One day I'll show it to my kids JQ
Just wanted to explain it to me
