RECIPE OF A WOMAN If I could make a woman, this is what I would do A few simple ingredients to make her all so true For her heart I would take it from a lion So she will have courage to suceed if not she'd die trying I would take the brightest stars and make them her eyes I would take silk and satin and make her soft thighs I would give her red pepper so she could always me hot And give her the pinpoint of a needle so she always gets the right spot I would give her the pride of and eagle so she would always stand tall I would give her the balance of a cat so she would never fall I would use the blackest coals for her skin tone For only a true nubian queen knows how to get a king on I would give her wool like a blanket to keep me warm at night And clamps like vice grips to always keep things tight I would give her the clouds in the sky so she could bring the rain And give her immunity to harm so she would never feel pain From the depths of the artics I would give her ice So she could be cold as hell to people who don't treat her nice I would give her the radiance of the sun so everywhere she goes it shines And give her my name to wear so that people know she is mine I will give her the cooking skills of a chef so the food is always good And give her a black belt in karate to handle herself in and out the hood I would give her the wits of a ph.d. so she could go out and compete in life And give her a ring to wear and call her my wife I would give her part of my know-how so she could do anything i can And finally give her independece so she won't have to depend on a man Written by Kiev Lavon Dyson
