Drafting and Planning: Song lyrics

Final Decision

I have decided to go with Lauryn Hill's Doo Wop as she has contained the best ideas in her song with the best lyrics. As I want to go with my idea of holding up meaningful and the most important lyrics on the cards, this song will allow me to perceive that idea as a lot of useful lyrics can be heard. The lyrics are appropiate, except three words for the whole song.

These are the lyrics of this song:

It's been three weeks since you were looking for your friend The one you let hit it and never called you again'Member when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamins? You act like you ain't hear him, then give him a little trim To begin, how you think you're really gon' pretend Like you wasn't down and you called him again?
Plus, when you give it up so easy you ain't even foolin' him If you did it then, then you'd probably f**k again
Talking out your neck, sayin' you're a Christian A Muslim, sleeping with the jinn Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in Who you gon' tell when the repercussions spin?
Showing off your a*s cause you're thinking it's a trend Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again  You know I only say it cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem Baby girl, respect is just a minimum N****s f****d up and you still defending 'em
Now, Lauryn is only human
Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn It's silly when girls sell their souls because it's in
Look at where you be in, hair weaves like Europeans

Fake nails done by Koreans 
Come again

The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his Timbs than his women
Him and his men, come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend, poppin' yang (Like you got yen!)
Let's stop pretend, the ones that pack pistols by they waist men
Cristal by the case men, still in they mother's basement
The pretty face men claiming that they did a bid men
Need to take care of they three or four kids
And they face a court case when the child support late
7)Money taking and heart breaking, now you wonder why women hate men
The sneaky, silent men
The punk, domestic violence men
Quick to shoot the semen, stop acting like boys and be men
How you gonna win when you ain't right within? (x3)
Come again


These lyrics are the perfect as they send the right social message and are subtle enough about doing it. The tune is the usual Soul/R&B and is the video will fit nicely in promoting female power. Lauryn Hill's songs never contain misogyny and enforcing the ideas that are within her lyrics will make a great promoting video.
