To say that she was the baddest bitch around and who could argue that intimately.
I had the opportunity to be with Trina, she was the guest of the day.
We were doing a cover shoot and she decided to look regal in a way.
Fashioned in a beautiful Spanish lace dress, and all in black next to me.
I discovered that a sister can change and reverse any idea.
With a just a good look and some dignity.
For all those sisters who aspire to be and get attention each day
You can dress up or down, it really doesn’t matter
As long as you have dignity going your way.
For all those brothers who want to make women something that they’re not, you see.
Don’t try to make them b—–s and h–s
And then act like your giving them dignity.
Your money will not appease them forever
For they will always be free
“Making it rain” doesn’t add value to anybody
It just says that the lechery is
And we have begun to think that everybody’s for sale.
But we’re just slaves to materialism
We all need to understand that it’s just talk entertainment and it is that way
But the things that should be said, and the things that we should hear
Are how much we love each other that day
Trina was very polite, very intelligent and she had lots of important things to say
She had great instinct
So beyond the album, beyond the hype and the image
I met a great person you see.
She was a flower.
I didn’t hit her on the backside and she didn’t flirt with me
She smiled she talked about what it was to be the woman of the day.
She talked about how she enjoyed life and how she was having fun in her way
We made conversation and didn’t switch the dial to the wrong station
And have some unexpected casualty.
No, she respected me and I respected her
And it was a great place for a brother and a sister to be
So when you see Trina and you see me
And you see all of us together each day
But we see a brother or a sister who works in the night
Try not to find something mean to say.
Instead find a place in your heart
Where you would start
Like with your mother, your sister, or your aunt, first you see
And even if they don’t ask or pay you for it
Have a little bit more respect, exercise self-restraint and show some dignity
I’m not sure exactly how much you’ll adore or implore a little bit of what I say
But I enjoy respecting my people
And brothers and sisters we need each other every day
So I’m sure will see it over and over again
All these sisters who can rhyme.
But Trina has been able to stay around and pass the test of time
She shared intimate moments and intimate insights on what it was for her
To be turned on
But it wasn’t for me to decide at that minute that it was for me to respond
I could just hear her intellectual persuasion of what she thought it was like
I didn’t judge her, nor she me
And that’s how we should do it right
But peace to all those who love the sisters and adhere to the golden rule.
Brothers and sisters shouldn’t destroy each other, we should love each other
And that’s what it is to be cool.
So peace to the mothers and all those others
Who have been there to bless us this day
Know that we love ourselves
And so let’s speak love brothers and sisters.
Peace.
