"Monogamy, Monotony, Misogyny"

[INTRO]
[over Pharoah Monch's "Simon Says" instrumental]

Some might even say this song is misogynistic
'Cause I be saying "bitch" and "hoe" without no apologies-es-es
But I'm dropping knowledge on how monogamy has the power
To become monotony, and then misogyny follows
So bottom line, listen up close to this joint
If you're tripping off the curse words, you're missing the point...
DUN DUN DUN DUN....
Listen the fuck up...

[beat switches to "Crazy" by Junior M.A.F.I.A.]

[CHORUS]

MONOGAMY...
Damn, queen, I'm tryna get witcha..
MONOTONY...
I get witcha, now I'm sick of ya..
MISOGYNY...
Now I ain't tryn ta frick with them chickens..
THAT'S HOW IT BE....
Damn, this is sickening; I'm tripping..
MONOGAMY...
Get with me and we could change the game..
MONOTONY...
You got with me and it's the same old thang..
MISOGYNY...
All of these dames is the same..
THAT'S WHY I BE...
Playing these relationship games..

[FIRST VERSE]

NOW IT SEEMS...
Whenever I meet the so-called "girl of my dreams"
I go through three phases and those are these..
MONOGAMY...
I met her and she was so bad I had to nab her
So I bagged her and I was glad to have her..
MONOTONY...
But Drew gets used to Boo and it don't feel like it used to
Or Boo gets used to Drew and starts to abuse Drew which confuses
Drew..
MISOGYNY...
Then that's when "I love you" becomes "I HATE YOU!"
Grape juice becomes Grey Goose and a great dude becomes a STRAIGHT
FOOL..
I'M TRYN TA SEE...
If I can fight this cycle
Though I'm no American Idol
I'm husband material looking for wife, yo..
MONOGAMY...
Ain't nothing like one queen having your back
Helping you balance your stack
A nymphomaniac in the sack
Who can hop out of bed and hook up some bad flapjacks..
MONOTONY...
But then it gets old so you and your friends go looking for hoes
"Wookin' pa nub" up in the club while wifey is home and dinner is
cold..
MISOGYNY...
Of course she leaves you
Then you complain, "These whores are deceitful"
But that's a cop-out; it's weak and it's see-through..

[SECOND VERSE]

THIS DIMEPIECE...
With a gold crown
I saw her and said, "Whoa, now!"
I slowed my whole stroll down
Just to court her like Judge Joe Brown..
MONOGAMY...
So we dated and it was cool for a second
Out of all the babes that Drew was checkin',
Boo was my preference..
MONOTONY...
But then in crept the best friend's mess:
"I used to date Drew's friend, yep
His whole Crew's incorrect
He'll talk shit about you on the Internet.."
MISOGYNY...
So then the phone calls stopped
The "Wacked-Up, Jacked-Up" restaurant shit popped
And I put you on blast just to watch your jaw drop..
I SPOTTED THIS QUEEN...
"At Pentagon City, it was 5:50.."
Y'all got the CD; y'all know the song
Express jeans showed the thong
Shorty had it going on..
MONOGAMY...
So we kicked it and I thought you were cool
You learned the words to "Looking for Wifey" and I thought it was
you..
MONOTONY...
But then you flipped it on that same old materialistic "chips and
whips" shit
I thought you were different
Yo, what IS this?..
MISOGYNY...
Oh, so all women ARE chickens and dog bitches
Caught up in what kind of dollars you're flippin' and cars you're
whippin'..
I'M BOUT TA BE...
CUTTING OUT THE FLOWERS AND GIFTS AND SENSUAL SHOWERS AND SHIT
I'M RAW AND I'M CRASS AND I'M ALL ABOUT ASS AND AFTER THIS YOU GOTSTA
DIP!
FOUL INDEED!...
FLIRTING WITH MISSES AND HURTING THEM CHICKENS
MURDERING KITTENS AND BURNING THEM BRIDGES
THESE BITCHES ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED, MY NIGGA
I'VE LEARNED THE WISDOM..
.
.
Nah, that's not me...
Every woman IS a queen, but every queen isn't my DESTINED queen
Can't let these lesser beings get the best of me..
I'm trying to be...
Taking the blessings these lessons allow
God bless the child
Who doesn't let the worst monotony
Convert him to misogyny..
