Beauty Queens
with those finely
designed lines
from movie scenes
with those shinny
refined eyes

I truly mean
this when I say
that your A+
I choose a theme
that's inspired
by lives lush

We came to be
over French Toast
mimosa brunch
The day dreams
that we mixed with
the mocha lust

You see the charity
we stated
was just overrated
Diamond and Pearl vibes
smile was Colgated

Congregated in the middle
of an herbal ocean
Conjugated all our bonds
with the purple notions

The sound of hurt emotions
are unspoken
In every bar where the floors
for the devoted

Dedicated to
the Devil's potion
Face down, same town
the clouds never broken

Beauty Queens were
my crushes aight
The ones who used to rock
those Wavy-Haired Delights

Yo, I'm foolish
clueless a brotha whose music
was influenced by the times
I would listen to Prince

Study my movements
and you'll see
why I think
the ways to the heart
involves more than
just ink

Many have ran away
from the thoughts
I've shared
They said they care
but, in the end, they just
spared me
from a life of
fantasy chasin'
Silence
is the only way
I hear the galaxy
awaitin’

I'm patient
painting' an image
of what I've wasted
Weightless
floating' in dreams
built on a cadence

We stayed with
desires had
while inspired
Some will still feel
I crave for my priors

My priors?
They crushes
Lusted but never
touched it
Trust if I was to cheat
it means
more than my destruction

Come on now
don't you see
that I'm grown
Out here alone
is the only way
I feel at home

Like Beauty Queens
these dreams are
hard to touch
Art that struts
In the stars we trust

Granted
we felt empty
False personas praying'
for women who were
tempting

Tempt me
with the marvelous flow
Let me be with you
at the carnival shows

I dreamt we moved
In the artisan glow
Lafayette tease
who worked the bistro

Like Chicago,
I dreamed a better life
lusted for affections
of those who
never treated me right

See, I'd go to proms alone
just to tell momma
how the Beauty Queens
arrived in the Gold Hondas

Looking' like a billion dollars
bathed in Brazilian powders
Spirit was shallow
but stenciled by Prada

So now you can tell me
why I am who I am
Study the fabrics
I crafted with my own hands

Beauty Queens III
The trilogy complete
To all my past muses
I'll thank you while I’m in my sleep
Please forgive me for being me
it doesn't mean
that I'd ever cheat
it only means that I dream
about my past sweet

See, this just my
three cents
since Chicago's
always worth
a penny more
