I watch my mother
Watch the colorful static buzz
Out of my television Set.
It was a show about dancing and synchronized steps
Bending bones
And malleable movements.
The screen was painted
With graceful bodies
And it echoed of
hip hop music
And I watch my mother
Scratch her head cause
She could never really get her
hips to hop
And she didn't know how that was different from
the pop
and the lock
and the shuffle
and the dougie
And I heard her murmur under her breath
"This is my biggest frustration"
I guessed that's what people say
When they just can't get something Right.
When
The feeling
The longing
The want is in them,
But their body
Still tells them to trip over their
Two left feet
When they watch
The way I watch my mother
Want to be a dancer
And I watch my mother
shake it off
and smile
and change the channel
And it is the saddest thing in the universe to me
That she could just forget
that one thing
she so desperately wanted to be.
You
Are my biggest frustration.
That no matter how hard I seem to try
I just couldn't get you right.
I swear, staring at you
Makes my eyelashes
Flutter a hip hop beat like no other
But you just can't dance
To music you can't hear
And you can't see
This amazing
Choreography
I have mapped out for us in my head
I know you're great at that.
You can
Pop
Lock
Shuffle and dougie
as far away as possible from me.
But just like my mother who couldn't get her hips to hop,
I couldn't get you lips
To talk about
Anything that wasn't her
And I know your mouth can speak
But why are you so at loss for words
When the lyrics come
Are my syllables not worth your breath,
Is my rhythm not worth your
step
Because
I promise you I try to catch up
But I trip over my two left feet
When I see your eyes glisten
When you watch her
The way my mother watches the dancers and I know you wanna be with her
So you finally hear my music
Or so I am convinced that you do.
And you shuffle
And take each graceful step
To the beat of
The wrong heart
But I just can't change the channel.
I can't smile and shake it off
Because I have to wait and see
If there'll ever be a time
You'd dance to me.

Talk to me baby
You said you adored my confidence, but now I'm a bit to cocky
I'm just knockin out the bad qualities
So no one can stop me
Keep talkin babe
Tell me you don't want me and I'll write you a song called "pretty lil liar"
As you look into my eyes and see all that you admire
As I lay it down and give ya all you desire.
Keep talking baby..
Girl, This ain't no comfort inn
Let your arms travel through this Persian rug as the fur warms ya skin
Yes, yes, Babe!
Oh lawd girl, bust it one more time and bring it back
And make sure you don't fall in love
I don't have the time for that
I'm chasing money and a dream
Ain't no questioning that
I can feel my time coming
Progress the essence, ain't no questioning that.
I know you want it babe
Keep whispering sweet nothings all through my ear as you sit on my lap
This liquor numbs the ******** as the crown places all my kings on the map.
(And I'll die for my team!)
It's easy to find a bad girl, my question is "where all the good ones at?"
End of conversation. (I Walk away)
