Women...Change...You think it could happen?...Here?

Ciara-Like a Boy!.mp3 (click to listen)

[VERSE 1]
Pull up your pants, just like him
Take out the trash, just like him
getting your cash like him, fast like him
girl u wanna act like he did
I’m talking bout, security codes on everything
on vibrate so your phone don’t ever ring
a foreign account and another one he don’t know about
[Hook]
Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you, but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like where you be at
Cuz I’m out, 4 in the morning on the corner rolling doing my own thing

[Chorus]

What If I Had A Thing On The Side?
Made You Cry?
Would The Rules Change Up Or Would They Still Apply?
If I, Played You Like A Toy?

Sometimes I wish I could act Like A Boy!

Can’t be getting mad, but u mad, can’t handle that (x4)

[Verse 2]
Girl go ahead and be just like him
Go run the streets like him
Go home missin sleep like em, Creep like em
Front wit ur friends, Act hard when u with them like him
Keep a straight face when you tell a lie
Always keep an air tight alibi
Keep it hid in the dark
What he don’t know won’t break his heart
[Hook]
Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you, but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like where you be at
Cuz I’m out, 4 in the morning on the corner rolling doing my own thing

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If I was always gone
Hit the sun getting home (Would you like that?)
I told u I was with my crew when I knew it wasn’t true
If I act like u
Walked a mile off in ur shoes (Would you like that?)
Messing with ur head again
Dose of your own medicine

[Chorus]


R-A go, here’s the clutch…

If I paged u (would you like that?)
Had friends (would you like that?)
With a car (would you like that?)
Hell Nah, You wouldn’t like that, No!

What If I? If I, played You Like A Toy,
Sometimes I wish I would act Like A Boy

Can’t handle that…

Ciara's new Album is great. It got me thinking. Just listen to the song and think, is this the kinda world you want to live in? a World were men and women are in struggle over who dominates, who can do more abuse, who can be more promiscuous, or simply who can do without love longer!

You know this social arrangement we have in Egypt can't last. It might take some societies a little longer for problems to ferment before they come to the surface. But rest assured, this day Is coming and Egypt Will change. You can choose to be a pioneer in that evolution, a follower, or a traditionalist resistor whose influence and appeal to the public opinion is slowly dieing ooooout.

I say you give yourself a chance, be open to experiences, always be a "modest recipient". Because this Universe will never lose its power to baffle you, to sweep you of your feet. Learn! Especially from those who strike you as your 'opposites', they are the ones who can teach you the most.

Or, that's what I think!

البوم سييره الجديد رائع. خلاني أفكر. اسمعوا الأغنية و اسألوا نفسكم: هل ده هو العالم اللى عايزين تعيشوا فيه؟ عالم بيتصارع الرجالة و الستات فيه على مين هيسيطر، مين هيسيء معاملة التانى اكتر، مين هيمارس الجنس-هيتعامل يعنى- مع عدد اكتر، أو ببساطه يعنى مين هيقدر يعيش أطول من غير حب!

إنتوا عارفين طبعا إن "الترتيب الاجتماعي" اللى حاصل فى مصر مش هيطوّل. ممكن في بعض المجتمعات المشاكل تاخد وقت اكتر عشان تختمر قبل ما تظهر على السطح. لكن ماتقلقوش، اليوم ده جاى جاى، و مصر هاتتغير.
أنت ممكن يا تبقى رائد في التطور ده، تبقى تابع، أو المقاوم التقليدى اللى تأثيره و انبهار الناس بيه هيموت ببطء.


أنا بقول إدى نفسك فرصه، خليك مفتوح على الخبرات المختلفه، و حاول تكون "مستقبل متواضع"-بكسر الباء. لإن الكون عمره ما هيفقد قدرته على تحييرك و مفاجئتك. إتعلم! بالذات من الناس اللى اول ما بتشوفهم بتعتبرهم "النقيض" بتاعك. دول اكتر ناس ممكن يعلموك حاجه.

أو، ده اللى انا شايفاه يعنى
