He’s Undoing Your Beauty (Poem)

Verse 1

I know you feel like

You’ve been ripped up and torn

Scorned by a man

Who swore to keep you

But he mistreats you, defeats you

And for loving’ he doesn’t seek you

He dips out and dips in

Dipping’ his cookies into your best friends – Ouch!

Leaving you to cry on your couch

But you’re afraid to leave him

Cause he’s the reason

You have what you have in your house

So you make excuses

Refusing’ to let loose

All the jewels he’s producing’

The pride of life – it’ll kill ya

And steal from ya what fulfills ya

Leaving you empty inside

Like a Gold-Digger

The truth hurts, I know

But I’d rather shatter your virtuality

Like Neo waken’ up from the Matrix

Take the red pill and see the reality

Of giving yourself up

For stuff so casually

Happens to be to cause of your self-hatred

Let’s peep the history

Of those chicks who be

Givin’ themselves up

For cash, clothes or an expensive meal

Girl, let’s keep it real

There’s no money on your night stand

But the gifts he’s placed on your right hand

Let’s this man know that you have a price tag (dag!)

The Hook

He’s undoing your beauty

He’s unlaced your grace

Made his duty your booty

Instead of keeping you chaste

He’s displaced your worth

And unbuckled your class

He’s removed your true value

Just to get up in that… But!

Verse 2

“But, oh my gosh…! He’s sooo fine!

And I find myself lost in a maze

When he gazed into my eyes

He’s got me hypnotized!”

Girl, you best to recognize

This guy’s playin’ you

Like a fool to look cool

In front of all the guys

Handlin’ your emotions

Like he controls the waves of your sea

Up and down side to side

Like a game on Nintendo Wii

And you be like “wee”

All so giddy with glee

Feeling so free

Until you found yourself

As baby momma number three

Apparently you weren’t the only one

Subject to his charm

He wooed ya’ll like chickens

Top rooster on the farm

Feathered so well

Looking so swell

Looking cute in his suit

Bought from street pharmaceutical sells

“And you be like oh _ uh, well

I’ll change him

I’ll rearrange his life

I know he’ll change

The day I become his wife”

The Hook

He’s undoing your beauty

He’s unlaced your grace

Made his duty your booty

Instead of keeping you chaste

He’s displaced your worth

And unbuckled your class

He’s removed your true value

Just to get up in that… But!

Verse 3

Why is it that some of you

Get so blue

When you’re with out a man

You can’t stand

Without your hand

In his palm

Is there something wrong

With walking the mall

Without his arm

Wrapped all around your bod?

Can’t you see

You’re still the bomb

Walking along

Strutting to your own song

(With your i-pod on)

2 is better than 1, I know

But there is 1 whose Son

Died for the chance to show

True love

But that’s not your desire

That’s not what you aspire for

You’re more on fire for

Acceptance and affection

Quick connections without discretion

Nor direction

Unaware that your affliction

Is your perception

Cuz you’re so tempted by attention

And you question

Why your relationships

Are with men

Seeking relations

With only your hips, dips and lips

The Hook

He’s undoing your beauty

He’s unlaced your grace

Made his duty your booty

Instead of keeping you chaste

He’s displaced your worth

And unbuckled your class

He’s removed your true value

Just to get up in that… But!

Verse 4

Please, take into consideration

This possible explanation

That you feel condemnation

From the words you heard growin’ up

Words that cursed and tore you up

“Like you’re only good for a nice f…”

…Forget that lie

Your worth lies in your soul

And it holds your true beauty

But maybe abuse

Was let loose on you

Since the age you were two

Or twelve

And so you fell

Into believing

That what you were receiving

Was your fault

Your blame, your shame

My sister I’m here to tell you

I know a true lover

Who feels your sorrow, guilt & pain

And you don’t have to look

Sexy to gain his interest

He seeks to invest His best

Into your treasure chest

Called your heart

To fill your soul

With warmth not gold

But an embrace to your face

To wipe that cold tear

To displace your fears

He’ll retrace your past

Just to erase your sad feelings

About men who were bad

Yes, He’ll replace the dad

You never had

To be your husband

Trust him and you’ll be glad

You see…

The Hook 2

He’s renewing your beauty

He’s replaced your grace

Made His duty your purity

All while keeping you chaste

Reinstated your worth

And established your class

He’s improved your true value

Just to get up in your…Heart!
