And God Said…
“I’ll make a woman”
A woman of substance,
A woman of pride,
A woman who is able to put petty
things aside.
A woman of integrity,
A woman of love,
A woman who is worthy of
treasures from above.
A woman who is genuine,
A leader in every way,
God Said…
“I’ll make a woman”
I’ll call her AKA
Conceited we're called
Because we stand tall
Uppity we're deemed
Due to our self-esteem
Our noses are always in the air
For looking downward we don't dare
And continue with pride
Realizing that if you're a lady
You're automatically downgraded
Sophistication and Class is a plus
Although others don't view it as much
Their thoughts are so remote
But when we were founded
Women couldn't vote
Civil rights were a luxury
In the early 20th Century
AKA was very political
Although they laugh and act very cynical
So remember the next time they jeer,
You were the FIRST to be here
Deleting all that was not good
And replacing it with SISTERHOOD
Setting a trend for all the rest
Proving that they could be the very best.
As ladies we must learn
Nothing is given, all is earned
With this in mind
You'll ultimately find
That it's a flair
It's a mood
We call it AKATUDE
