Bitch

BITCH

If a bitch stands on her own two feet and defends herself when she is criticised.

Then yeah I’m a BITCH.     

If a bitch is real and exposes people when they’re chatting lies.

Then yeah I’m a BITCH.

If a bitch demands respect and holds her own.

Then yeah I’m a BITCH.

If a bitch still walks in greatness  even when she’s alone.

Then yeah I’m a BITCH

If a BITCH tells you when you are wrong but backs you when you are right.

Then yeah I’m a BITCH.

If a bitch never gives up on life.

Then YES I am a BITCH.

I don’t think I’m a princess I know I’m a Queen.

And yeah I’m the best BITCH I’ve ever seen.

Cause I’m the only BITCH I know how to be.

And why would I wanna be you when I’m so good at being me?

Excellent sentiments. Can't, for the life of me, understand why it has to be termed 'Bitch'. But that's a term often used with great affection in some circles, and equally scathing disrespect in others.
