“ya fly as hell, swagger right, brown skin poppin, you know just how ta talk to me, know just how I like it, you turnin’ me on 💥 Now wait a minute lil busta’ you got one mo’ time ta feel on my booty betta’ recognize a lady that ain’t the way ya do me…ya turnin me OFF” Betta Recognize a Real Woman.
ok, listening to this song now, I don’t think I was ever aware of how on point it was. The beat is so LIT it’s easy to jam along to the song and dismiss the words.
but if you listen to the full lyrics you’ll hear that keri was flowing in her full power, showing authority over what was and what wasn’t acceptable to her. It can be easy for MEN AND WOMEN to settle in the face of love, relationships, affection…or money. Here she is making it clear that she wasn’t settling for anything less than respect.
This is BOSS moves and feminine energy all wrapped into one well produced package. What makes it even better is that it was co-produced and written with males. It came out in 2009, but this song is covert genius.
At this moment in history where sexual harassment/assault/abuse allegations are being brought to the light so much more than they have before and conversation is really being had around the issue, there is a brilliance here that stands out about this work by @kerihilson
I hope she comes out with even more music like this and more artists, especially MCs follow suit. Anyway…back to the music🎶 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #kerihilson #turninmeon #woke #staywoke #sexualharassment #sexualabuse #selflove #selfconfidence #selfesteem #metoo #blacklove #blackhate #feminineenergy #romance #relationship #flirtationship #situationship #writer #journalist #poet #aprilinspired
