If I Were A Boy (Pt. 2)

(Wow, took me forever to write this second part huh? Such a shame. My deepest apologizes, but dont act like you were actually waiting for it. Probably sittin there watchin music videos or something...But for those of you that were..Again, Im sorry.)
Here we go, second verse. Right after the chorus-
2.
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)

This verse is trying to explain that guys like to create a reason to ignore their girlfriends eithier cuz theyre cheatin on them, feeling guility or just doing it cuz...well, theyre guys and thats what they do.(Not all guys but many) If youre phone is broken, no one can call you to check up on you and see how youre doing so that would probably lead to the thought that youre not in a relationship cuz the other person would want to call you and see how youre doing. Not necessarily if youre cheating or anything but just to ask what youre up to. So no phone, no girl meaning no reason for you not to be able to flirt and mess around with other girls you meet and no reason for your guy buddies to think that you have to be at a certain time because, youre sleeping alone so no one is worrying. What SOME guys also do is take advantage of the fact that their girlfriends are so loyal to them. They never have to think if their girlfriend would approve of what theyre doing because what she thinks doesnt matter. Its their life so theyre gonna put themselves first and if their girl doesnt like it, whatever. They know that no matter how disrespectful and inconsiderate they are, that woman, that girl, that lady is always gonna be at home waiting for them, waiting to cater to them and show them the love that many of them hone
stly dont deserve.

If I Were A Boy (Pt. 1)

Hey people, sorry for such a late new post. I've been busy meditating and taking part in a little soul search that was way past due(*shrugs* I dont know what Im talking about but it distracted you from the fact that I havent written a blog post in almost a month, right? Yeeeaaah). Anyway, this post is on a pretty well known female artist, Beyonce. I am not the biggest fan of her but I'm definitely not a hater. Shes really talented and has made it very far in the music world, I just think shes a bit overrated because many people, boys especially look more at her looks than her vocals, personality and all that other good stuff. I have a couple of guy friends that have a her picture as their wallpaper and claim shes their favorite artist having only heard one song by her, probably by accident. Now maybe Im overexaggerating but then again, maybe Im not. ANYWAY, my main point is though shes not my favorite, there are a couple of songs I do love by her. Mostly from her newest album, I AM...Sasha Fierce. One song in particular always always catched my attention and makes me think and its "If I Were A Boy" I know I probably could just write a simple overview of what I think the song means but todays an analyzing day so Im gonna explain each "part" of the song. Bear with me.

1. If I were a boy even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted
And go drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they stick up for me


Guys, most of them dont really care about what they wear because theyre never trying to really impress anybody and some really arent going anywhere besides "going to go drink bear with the guys" Now we girls get dogged at so much for taking forever to get ready but the fact of the matter is if we didnt spend all that time getting ready alot of you boys wouldnt give a girl the time of day since its all about looks. We try so hard to look nice for you and all you can do is complain about why we're taking so long. No matter if we're going somewhere that'll be 30 miles away from you, we'll wake up and take 4 hours to get ready just so that the 5 minutes that you see us before we leave the house you think "Wow, Im lucky to have a girl like her."/You guys can whistle and do a once over of any girl that passes by you and expect us not to say anything but let us mention a dudes name and you just wanna go off. Its ridiculous. We watch you flirt but many of us dont say anything because if we do, we're called jealous. Its not about jealousy, its about respecting the female youre involved with./If we have a certain girlfriend that you dont like, you go right in with calling her names and saying this and that about her but if we should say something about one of your little nasty guy friends both of you wanna strangle us. Again, ridiculous.

-AH! Just realized I'm gonna split this up into maybe three parts so for the rest of the lyric breakdown see my next post. Sorry for the inconvinience-
