"The Entertainment Industry"
  by Ms Lips


young attractive women
with hourglass shapes
wind their bodies to sean paul and wayne wonder
havin my heart pound with thunder

when big booty women
dance in busta rhymes videos
makin more than their hands clap
so that makes you wonder

why us young girls
dance the way we dance
coping what we see on television
because it looks tight
wearing revealing clothing
to catch someones eye
because we were taught my television
that sex sells

exposing our bodies just to be called
hotties and dymes
instead of beautiful and pretty
i guess so compliments dont come to mind

as for the female music artist in the world
when they start to sing
their clothes fade away
mini skirts and halter tops
replaces their talent
hair weaves and make-up
replaces their face
i always heard you had to fake it
til' you make it
but i never thought you would have to stay fake
but wait

for the boys in this world
who uses terms like
what up blood
what up cuz
what up gangsta

just to feel the need to pull the trigger
if another brotha appears on the scene
plus they disrespect the women in their lies
using words like hoe and trick just to disguise themselves
trying to pretend to be like someone else

because if you ain't got the bling bling, hoochies, hoes, and material things
than you can't be nothing or get nothing in this world
thats why so many idolize 50 cent and the cash money click
because they rich
so they forget bout jobs
and hustle for the green
by selling drugs and other things

see there using music against us
were becoming their virtual slaves
paying them to provide us
with sin

so we lie to our parents
and disguise the truth
but how long could a lie survive
without a liar for it to reboot
So now Im here informing you
on how i feel and how i think this cycle show end

because like nas i know i can be more than
what i view on bet and mtv
i know i can be more than just a face in the crowd
i know i can be more than what others want me to be
because the entertainment industry haven't brainwash me



p.s. this is a poem i wrote today, i have to perform it in a couple of weeks for a highschool tell me what yall think.....

I think this belongs on more then GS. I think that if you have poetry like this built up in your soul you should take it to the streets. We have so many positive thoughts but we fail to go out and do something with them. We need to be more productive with ourselves so that we can produce change and awareness. So I think you should read it. I think you should read it ecactly how I believe you wrote it. From your heart. Keep poetry in motion!!!

this is very much true...instead of talent, we base material things and the lifestyle we supposedly claim as the "Music Industry"....you exposed a hidden truth and reality of something we knew, but really didn't know. Great Write
