Intro:
Contemporary Girl
Living in this world
Verse 1:
The world today
Has come a long way
From radio to TV
From fire to electricity
Airplanes and Jets
Computers and the Internet
What an entry
Into the 21st century
This is the world
Of the contemporary girl
But modernization
Isn't for every situation
Like in love
What are we thinking of
Some women take control
Playing the dominant role
But he's a person
God gave him a mind
So stop trying
To make it up for him all the time
Chorus:
Contemporary Girl
Living in this world
Modern society
Gave you the right to be in control
But don't turn your back on love
God gave you a heart and soul
Verse 2:
Living in this world
Can be tough when you're a girl
But you think you've got it under control
And no man will take a hold
Of you or your heart
And that's the way
You wanted it from the start
You run your life
And that of your man
Everything is going according to plan
But on your list of things to remember
Love isn't on your daily agenda
No matter what your friends say
You shouldn't treat him that way
Do unto others
As you'd have done to you
You wouldn't like it
If he did the same to you
Repeat chorus
Rap:
You put the con in contemporary
With the life that you're selling
And how long you've been trippin'
There's no telling
If you wanna be a feminist
Do it on your own
And you'll be like that movie
Home alone
Why ya wanna trip
Trying to wear the pants in the relationship
I'd rather wear the skirt
You can have a family and still work
You treat him like the gum under your shoe
And then you try to get rid of him like the flu
When you're mad
You know your tempers never far
You make him break down like your car
