You Ain't You, I am Me

Oh come on, baby, you better step it up a notch
you  may be all that player, but I'm so much more
This gal here darling, can shake up the Earths floor,
& within a blink honey, your ass is out the back door.

Hanging with the in-crowd, smoking cigs and drinking scotch
sure, baby, sure, you are all that, the hood rats whore
But let me tell you this, I'll show you what's in store,
look o'er there at Debbie Ann, high and wore out to the core.

If that's what you wanna be, the neighborhood bag of chips
everyone around the block, having a piece of it
Then go right ahead sweetie, if your down with that shit
but I'm no the one, in that kind of lifestyle, I don't need to fit

Check me out, I may not be beautiful baby, but I am me
sparkling with passion, full of compassion, love and respect
No one owns me, I am on the real, inside and out, no one objects
I'm not a follower, my rainbow explodes with minimal rejects

One by one, each color of the bag, marks a piece of me
taste the yellow, I am the rose of Texas you see
The green, represents a piece most hate, envy
reds always represent the passion, I have burning equally

Orange baby, yes is the fire that burns eternally
so you may be the bag of Lays baby, that no one can leave alone
They lick their fingers, say goodbye, and head their ass's back home,
but in the end the bag will be empty and on the streets you'll roam.

But the rainbow spreading within my life, will last forever
for with each sweet taste of a passions skittle, you'll see
With each morsel they will come back for more eventually
for only if I allow them to feed off me, will my package be empty

But within me, I know who I am, I am me....
no one can have me, unless I say so, no drugs will have control
So when hands are placed in the bowl of rainbow colors, they see my soul
I shall flourish & beam forever, for I represent, colors of a rainbow.
