Brotha please, excuse me
Don't mind my attitude
As you tell me how to be a woman
Hold up, not tryna be rude
What's the secret way you know the view
Sometime spent wearing women's shoes
if not- oh no, then
how can one propose to do
All the telling you tell a woman to?
Have you ever asked a woman
with no judgement assumed
a random unknown woman
What was her point of view?
Ever asked any woman's point of view
Of what a woman is supposed to do?
Brotha please slow your roll of orders
Slow your assumptions of gender roles
Brotha please practice consideration
Empathy might soothe your soul
Brotha please take a cue
Simmer down let the facts settle
Settle down obvious distinction
We are not the same
we honor equal rights
no way my experience matches yours
no way your experience matches mine
Brotha please stop, so much time wasted
We are two separate souls in this world
just hoping for the same destination
