Dimes and Diamonds
The Dime walks by shining real nice
spinning 5 times, looking kinda tight
but he spent her last week
so she's another mans today
sitting up crunching on a bag of Frito-Lays .
The Diamond is priceless
and more than just a jewel
she's admired by all
the old, the young, and the cruel
she's slim in the waist and fat in tha back
she gets the man's attention before she can even say snap.
The Dime is indulged
she wonders what she does not have.
the Diamond has something that she surely does lack
is it the knowledge on her shoulders
and the beauty of her looks?
is it the way she smiles
that gets tha boys hook?
The Diamond is intrigued
she knows she is top of line
she knows any guy she can win over will treat her far better than a dime
so she wonders what she has that the dime lacks
is it the clothes she doesn't wear
has to be matter of fact
the Dime isn't good enough
the Diamond already knows
the Dime is spent
while she is held on to with divulge
The Dime is sad
she wants to be the best
but how can she compete with someone who sleeps but never gets rest
the Diamond is steadily at rest
she barely has time for play
the Dime wishes she could stop working at burger joints and speedway
she sick of laying on her back
moaning and making sounds
she's tired of getting paid by these men
just so she can lay down
The Diamond has the money to splurge
she went to college and earned her degree
she's sporting the latest Jay's
and the fashion's best of Nike's
she carries herself well
she moves before her feel
she wipes the dust off her shoulders
and stay on shopping sprees
The reality is that
any woman can be a diamond
one that will never get old
never fade
and never be looked over
A Diamond shines and is always precise
always knows what she wants in life
a Dime is basically something a woman should not want to be
though they shine at the making
it's something that will fade after years of use and rough handling
while a dime can be traded, used, and bargained for
the Diamond will still have the legacy and last forever.
