âya fly as hell, swagger right, brown skin poppin, you know just how ta talk to me, know just how I like it, you turninâ me on đĽ Now wait a minute lil bustaâ you got one moâ time ta feel on my booty bettaâ recognize a lady that ainât the way ya do meâŚya turnin me OFFâ Betta Recognize a Real Woman.
ok, listening to this song now, I donât think I was ever aware of how on point it was. The beat is so LIT itâs easy to jam along to the song and dismiss the words.
but if you listen to the full lyrics youâll hear that keri was flowing in her full power, showing authority over what was and what wasnât acceptable to her. It can be easy for MEN AND WOMEN to settle in the face of love, relationships, affectionâŚor money. Here she is making it clear that she wasnât 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.
