Pharrell is dope. That is my overall opinion of him. He can do no wrong. He supplied my life a theme song a few times in the form of songs; "Frontin" (featuring Jay Z) and "Happy." I was very excited to hear his new project "G I R L." On first listen, "Lost Queen" was an immediate favorite. I love it. The beat and the lyrics are perfection. I like the whole cd but find myself playing this one track more than others. Get into the audio video above and the dope lyrics below. Oh, and go cop Pharrell's "G I R L" because it's worth your coins!!
"I think you are a lost queen Let me serve you, serve you Hot sex and gold, shiny things I think you are a lost queen Let me serve you, serve you Remind you that you are a lost queen I think you are a lost queen
I don't have a problem with multi-tasking Taking care of you is my number one passion Put it before my eyes, you know I'ma smash it Only if you want it, want it You don't have to ever think about asking I can read your mind, girl, of course I have it Can I start you up? It's automatic Get your motor running, running, vroom-vroom I'm never too busy to tell you that you're pretty Ain't gotta ask me to Surprise you in the city when your day is going shitty Ain't gotta ask me to..."
I have blogged about the war of female versus woman and my views on it. It got me to thinking about other titles I don't like. It's not a whole lot. But the ones I dislike, I really dislike. They tend to rub me the complete wrong way. It's more annoying than anything. And, I've also noticed that it depends heavily on who is saying the word/name to me. My reaction is based more on that than anything. I know that may seem wrong but I've very moved by my opinions of people, places, and things. Now, let's discuss what I don't like.
It irks me when men call women their queen or their rib. I have no problem with being called his woman or his lady or even his girl. See how they all start with "his?" That's the most important thing. I am a woman. I am a lady. Sometimes I can still be a girl. I know that woman was made from man's rib. I know the whole story. But, ever since that scene in "Baby Boy" with Jody proclaiming that Yvette was his rib, I've been bothered. In the movie, Jody spent 95% of it cheating on his "rib." Ugh. It's disgusting. I do not want to be referred to in that way. It has a dirty connotation to me now.
Am I a Queen? You're damn right I am. I don't need a reminder of that. I know who I am and my worth. I have no self esteem issues over here. I'm most affected when he says my name. Oh and baby of course. Some things just seem corny. This is one of them. So, please refrain from calling me queen or rib or even something more derogatory. If you feel the need to, just call me by my name por favor. It would be most appreciated by management. I can be many things, a plethora of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. But, it's not many I will answer to. One would be wise to remember that when addressing me.
