It Takes More

Ms. Dynamite

The things that you promote 
Fighting, violence 
Like you don't want to grow old 
You talking so much sex 
But you na tell the youths about AIDS 
You na tell them of consequence, no 
Your talking like you a G 
But you killer killing your own 
You're just a racist man's fossey 
Tell me who wants to know 
What when who where 
Or how you lose control 

Certainly not me 
Certainly not me 
'Cos baby personally 
I like to be challenged mentally 
I've heard it all before 
Gangsta's pimps and whores 
Quality is born 
A girl like me is born 

It takes more (it takes more) 
To amuse a girl like me 
So much more (much more) 
To confuse a girl like me 
They've got you (got you) 
'Cos while you braggin' 
About your badness you're just 
Avoiding, adding to the real 
That's happenin' to us 

Now who gives a damn 
About the ice on your hand 
If it's not too complex 
Tell me how many Africans died 
For the bagettes on your Rolex 
So what you pushing a nice car 
Don't you know there's no such thing as superstars 
We leave this world alone 
So who gives a about the things you own 

Certainly not me 
Certainly not me 
'Cos baby personally 
I like to be challenged mentally 
Content's insignificant 
And it don't help to pay my rent 
It's pure negativity 
That you impose on me 

It takes more (it takes more) 
To amuse a girl like me 
So much more (much more) 
To confuse a girl like me 
They've got you (got you) 
'Cos while you braggin' 
About your badness you're just 
Avoiding, adding to the real 
That's happenin' to us 

Now I can sit 
And chat a spit about how I sex 
But my business is my business I got self respect 
I 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 got to let you know 
Real women ain't sexin' for no man's dough 
Real women work hard to make their dough 
And we can all chat 'bout gats and blacks 
On blacks and force the hypes and all the stereotypes 
We used to watching that ain't what I'm here for 
Show them to think higher and aspire to be more 

It takes more (it takes more) 
To amuse a girl like me 
So much more (much more) 
To confuse a girl like me 
They've got you (got you) 
'Cos while you braggin' 
About your badness you're just 
Avoiding, adding to the real 
That's happenin' to us 

It takes more (it takes more) 
To amuse a girl like me 
So much more (much more) 
To confuse a girl like me 
They've got you (got you) 
'Cos while you braggin' 
About your badness you're just 
Avoiding, adding to the real 
That's happenin' to us
