It Takes More (Apple Music Home Session)

The things that you promote

Fightin', violence

Like you don't want to grow

You're talkin' so much sex

But you don't tell the youth 'bout AIDS

And you don't tell them 'bout consequence, no

You're talkin' like you're a G

But you are killer killin' your own

You're just a racist man's pussy

Tell me who wants to know

What? When? Who? Where? And how you do your hoes

Certainly not me, certainly not me

'Cause, baby, personally

I like to be challenged mentally

I've heard it all before

Gangstas, pimps, and whores

Quality is poor

A girl like me needs more

It takes more to amuse a girl like me

So much more to confuse a girl like me

They've got you

While you're braggin' 'bout your badness, you're just

Avoidin', addin' to the real shit that's happenin' to us

Who gives a damn

About the ice on your hands?

If it's not too complex

Tell me how many African's died

For the baguettes on your Rolex?

So what you're pushin' a nice car?

Don't you know there's no such thing as superstars

We leave this world alone

So who gives a shit about the things you own?

Certainly not me, certainly not me

'Cause, baby, personally

I like to be challenged mentally

Context is significant

And it don't help to pay my rent

It's pure negativity

That you impose on me

It takes more to amuse a girl like me

So much more to confuse a girl like me

They've got you

While you're braggin' 'bout your badness, you're just

Avoidin', addin' to the real shit that's happenin' to us

Now I can sit and chat, spit about how I sex

My business is my business, I got self respect

Can talk 'bout how my press could pimp man's dough

Get the keys to his ride and his home

But I looked it up and that would make me a ho'

Little sisters, now I really gotta let you know

Real woman ain't sexin' for no man's dough

Real woman work hard to make their own

And we can all chat 'bout gats and blacks on blacks

And force the hypes and all the stereotypes

We're used to watchin', that's not what I'm here for

Show 'em to think higher and aspire to be more

It takes more to amuse a girl like me

So much more to confuse a girl like me

They've got you

While you're braggin' 'bout your badness, you're just

Avoidin', addin' to the real shit that's happenin' to us

It takes more to amuse a girl like me

So much more to confuse a girl like me

They've got you

While you're braggin' 'bout your badness, you're just

Avoidin', addin' to the real shit that's happenin' to us
