Upgrade who? Bitch sit down!
So I'm loading my iPod with different songs, trying to find songs with an upbeat bass driven tempo. I loaded up Upgrade U by Beyonce'. Yes, I'm a little late but hey I'm not a big fan of hers so I don't really know her music all that well.
I'm rolling down the road in my big truck and actually listening to the lyrics. She's the light that keeps the streets on...okay I like that play on words cute&catchy and I'm sure she paid a bundle to the person that ghost wrote that for her...
I was a little ticked when she said she can do what Martin did for the people or some shit like that...umm boo boo you ain't even got a GED...keep it moving stupid. Yes the child is paid but you need brains to keep all your cash...YOUR cash.
I'm going to pull this all together I promise. Wait for it.....Waaaaiiit fooor iiiit.......
Her and the camel are going back and forth on how they are going to upgrade each others' lives. She's going to be his ride or die chick making his money grow and he's going to buy her some nice stuff...this got me to thinking...
um oh hell naw!
See this is where we as black women mess up our own shit.
This fool is talking about buying diamonds and spending his loot on tricks and treats that cost a mint. Iff'n you going to be taking loot from a man who isn't your HUSBAND let that fool set you up with an IRA, some property, a college fund for yourself(and ya kids if you got 'em) and some CD's and stocks and the rest. I mean really tricks and treats are good, but a intelligent sista is trying to retire for reals.
Our daughters are so caught up in being the video hoe they can't see that they can be the head of a studio, shit the owner of the studio...Upgrade!
Beyonce' ain't no fucking role model. Talent doesn't always bring prosperity and success. With nothing to hold you down in the interim you just become supahead
Don't be supahead...be supahead's OB/GYN ...ya'll know she needs one on the regular
Don't be Jay Z's video hoe, be Jay Z's accountant, cause we all know camels ain't the best with the dollars!
We need to upgrade the dreams for ourselves and our girls.
Get your own shine...now that's an Upgrade!
