Diva's Don't Dap

Didn't I tell you Diva's Don't Dap?

"Naw brah"

Sophisticated woman like myself

don't fall for that.

My Diva definition 

is quite frankly

just on the other side of brilliant baby

Flip it over

and you still see me

in all my Diva glory.

In my presence.                                                                                                                             

there is always a lady present

Craving the respect due

But look here, don't trip

I ain't being y

This Diva is woman enough 

to return the respect 

right back to you.

You see..I googled  "Diva" just the other day.

Almost couldn't believe what my eyes did see.

The first few definitions

didn't in the least describe

the Diva I be.

It said we were selfish and mean

not worthy of the Diva's respect due

It said we were snobby

and rude and .....the nerve

Dramatic too!!!

I found one however that better fit my bill.

It was the one I felt defined me so real.

"Exudes great style

and personality with confidence.

Not letting others influence

who they are, or what to be"

"Yea, this bout fits My Diva perfectly"

"A charater that stands out from the rest

and going after goals with limited blockage at best"

Yesss, now work THAT Divaness

Approach me with class and respect

evidence that you know where I stand.

Not beneath you

Nor behind you

Yet beside you my man.

Upon entrence to my presence

be a gentlman to me, as I a lady to you

be strong in this action as you know just what to do

Open my door

Pull out my chair

Oh and tilt your hat

Now stretch out your hand, to propely shake mine

Cuz quit frankly my brother....

Diva's Don't Dap!!!!
