It Takes More (Clean Version)

The things that you promote
fighting, violence, like you
don't want to grow old
you talkin so much sex, but
you na tell the youths about aids
and you na tell them of consequence, no
you talkin like you a G
but you a killer killing your own
you're just a racist man's fossey
tell me who wants to know
what when, who where
or how you loose control

certainly not me, certainly not me
'coz baby personally
i like to be challenged mentally
i've heard it all before
gangstas pimps and whores
quality is born
a girl like me is born

it takes more (it takes more)
to amuse a girl like me
so much more (much more)
to confuse a girl like me
they've got you (got you)
'cos while you're braggin bout your badness
you're just, avoiding, adding
to the real shit that's happening to us

now who gives a damn
about, the ice, on your hand
if it's not to complex
tell me how many africans died
for the bagettes on your rolex
so what you pushing a nice car
don't you know, there's no such thing
as superstars
we leave this world alone
so who gives a shit
about the things you own

certainly not me, certainly not me
'coz baby personally
i like to be challenged mentally
contents insignificent
and it don't help to pay my rent
it's pure negativity
that you impose on me

it takes more (it takes more)
to amuse a girl like me
so much more (much more)
to confuse a girl like me
they've got you (got you)
'cos while you're braggin bout your badness
you're just, avoiding, adding
to the real shit that's happening to us

now i can sit and chat and spit bout how i sex
but my business is my business i got self respect
i could talk bout how my press could pimp mans dough
get the keys to his ride and his home
but i looked it up and that would make me a ho
little sisters now i really gotta let you know
real women ain't sexing for no mans dough
real women work hard to make their dough
we can all chat bout gats and blacks on blacks
and force the hypes and all be stereotypes
we use to watching, that ain't what i'm here for
show them to think higher and aspire to be more

it takes more (it takes more)
to amuse a girl like me
so much more (much more)
to confuse a girl like me
they've got you (got you)
'cos while you're braggin bout your badness
you're just, avoiding, adding
to the real shit that's happening to us

it takes more (it takes more)
to amuse a girl like me
so much more (much more)
to confuse a girl like me
they've got you (got you)
'cos while you're braggin bout your badness
you're just, avoiding, adding
to the real shit that's happening to us
