Can't tell by the diamonds in my rings
That's how many times I wanna cum, twenty-one
And another one, and another one, and another one
24 carots nigga
That's when I'm fuckin wit' the average nigga
Work the shaft, brothers be battin' me, and oh
Don'tcha like the way I roll
And play wit' my bushy
Tell me what's on your mind when your tongues in the pussy
Is it marriage Damn, this bitch is bad
Baby carriage Damn, I love that ass
Shit no, on a dime shit is mine
Got to keep 'em comin' all the time why

Killas be quiet, my nigga bring the riots
Tough talk, tough walk, shit is tired
You wanna be this Queen B, but ya can't be
That's why your mad at me

Killas be quiet, my nigga bring the riots
Tough talk, tough walk, shit is tired
You wanna be this Queen B, but ya can't be
That's why youre mad at me

Before I caught some niggas disease, got caught with his ki's
Big scooped a young bitch off her knees
Threw me at high priced Beam's
Face on tv's, platinum CD's

Saw a nigga whah, pussy greased up
Stack the g's up, keeps the knees up

Geneva Diva, yeah, I throws it down
Lay around, clown the clock stops for no one
Never 68 and owe 1, takes one to know one
Better off wit the Playboy magazines uh, fuckin' wit da Don
Push the keys, G's threes for pape's
Yeah, I ride crate state to state
Lieutenant takes mad dimes from New York to Anaheim
While you daydreamin' wine, I'll just keep gettin mine
And I'm married to this
Ya'll strategy misses still plannin weddin's
M.A.F.I.A. also deadens all the bullshit
Any type of threatens to pull shit, uh

i posted these lyrics because i love this song. everything about it, with the exception of jay-z's verse, is incredible. and really, i love singing along. i mean, the bitch is bad. but i do have significant moral issues with the lyrical content. which is why i really don't like jay-z's verse. i didn't even include it here because he opens with "don't they know i'm trying to sex you continuously" which i suppose, kim probably wouldn't have a problem with in the context of the song. still, it kinda disgusts me. i'm so ambivalent about how i feel about rap lyrics that's it's difficult for me to write about it. i guess i really don't know enough about how all these women (foxy, kim, da brat etc) started their careers to make accurate claims. but i know no one was being forced to sing these songs, regardless of who wrote the lyrics. let's just say i have a problem with kim saying she'll take it in the butt and her pussy's greased up, yet one of my favorite lines is "tell me what's on your mind when your tongue's in the pussy?" i am going to return to this topic one day soon. i can feel all these different parts of herself (myself?) coming out in this song and i think my problems with it are that the typical listener isn't going to see those other selves. but only the one, the sexually available, sexually driven woman, who doesn't have a lot of other thougths in her head. but maybe i'm not giving enough credit. it just reminds me of this anais nin erotica story called "the queen" from a short story collection called "little birds". in the queen, the queen of all whores is described as "a womb turned inside out", her "whole body guided by eroticism". "the women who are unabashedly sexual, with the womb written all over their faces, who arouse in a man the desire to fling his penis at them immediately; the women for whom clothes are only a means of making certain fragments of the body more prominent" -- all of this to me describes kim in this song. and obviously, these quotes, although written by a woman, describe the man and his preceptions more than the woman. and it's disgusting to me, even though it was written to arouse and indeed it is arousing to read. but i just think lyrics like this and the way kim presents herself some of the time, it allows men to view women as wombs turned inside out and have that not only be ok, but be natural, accepted even by both sexes. i don't accept it. but i can't/won't stop listening to, singing along with or reading things like this. i have to balance what the song means to me with what i think it probably means to the rest of the world.

this is a topic i'd love to talk about with you sometime. a friend of mine wrote a paper on women in hip hop/the perception of women in hip hop lyrics that you should read. i'll try to wrangle it for ya.
