What's your Name?



 

They Call Me LIGHTBRIGHT because Red Bone was TAKEN!

They used to Call Me REAL because Everyone was FAKING!

They used to Call me “GIRRLLL!” because HOMEGIRL was too GHETTO!

They Call Me FLOWRITER these WORDS are so MELLOW!

They used to Call me CRAZY I Act like a LOONEY!

They used to call me “BETTY BOOP!” I look CARTOONY!

They used to Call Me “BABY!” but I ain’t your BABY BOO!

They used to Call Me SMARTY and I just took you to SCHOOL!

They used to call me NERDY but I ain’t your Average FOOL!

They used to call me CHICA I’m so Down Right COOL!

They used to call me EARTHY GIRL because I’m DOWN TO EARTH!

They used to call me MIRACLE DATE BACK TO MY FIRST BIRTH!

They used to call me SUPERGIRL I’m not your SUPERWOMAN!!

They used to call me AMAZON just call me WONDER WOMAN!

They used to call me LAZY BONED because I’m just so LAZY!

They used to call me CLOUDY because everything is HAZY!

They call me BETTY CROCKER but I ain’t your LITTLE DEBBIE!

They call me NEVER DO IT but

 I’LL DO IT WHEN I’M READY!!!

They used to call me EVERYTHING and EVERTHING is RIGHT!!

They use to call me SIPERFLY and SUPERFLY is TIGHT!!

They use to call me “GO TO BED!” So on that Note:

“GOOD NIGHT!!!”

So What’s your Name?

MY NAME IS LADY LUCK SO LUCK BE A LADY TONIGHT!!! THAT’S RIGHT!!
