hip-hop song mocks sexual bravado

[(SP)]

there is a really cool song called 'your revolution' by sarah jones(beat by DJ Vadim)that i have come across, that mocks sexual bravado, especially in other hip-hop songs and culture itself....it helps to know other hip-hop songs and artists to get the full refernce of the often sarcastic quotes.....

it's not exactly asexuality directly ... but sometimes it is cool to have the oversexualization in the culture be mocked.....

the lyrics are here:(lines that are sung more than once are written only once)


(INTRO-spoken)This goes out to all the women and men, from New York to London , and L.A to Tokyo, struggling to keep their self-respect in this climate of misogyny,money-worship, and mass production of hip-hop's illegitamate child hip-pop, and this especially goes out to Gil-Scott Heron, friend, living legend, and proto-rapper, who wrote 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, much respect

Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Will not happen between these thighs
The real revolution ain't about bootie size
The Versaces you buys
Or the Lexus you drives
And though we've lost Biggie Smalls
Maybe your notorious revolution
Will never allow you to lace no lyrical douche in my bush
Your revolution will not me killing me softly with Fujees
Your revolution ain't gonna knock me up without no ring
And produce little future M.C.'s
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will not find me in the back seat of a jeep
With L.L. as hard as hell, you know
Doing it and doing and doing it well, you know,
(sarcastic voive)Doing it and doing it and doing it well, you know
Your revolution will not be smacking it up, flippin it rubbing it down
Nor will it take you downtown or humping around
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will no have me singing
Ain't no nigger like the one I got
Your revolution will not be you sending for me no drip drip V.D. shot
Your revolution will not involve me(fake enthusiastic voice) or feeling your nature rise
Or having you fantasize
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs
No no not between these thighs
and, oh, oh
My Jamaican brother
(fake Jamaican accent)Your revolution will not make you feel bombastic, and really fantastic
And have you groping in the dark for that rubber wrapped in plastic
Unh-unh
You will not be touching your lips to my triple dip of
French Vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Or having Akinyele's dream, um hum
A six foot blow job machine, um hum
You wanna subjugate your Queen, un-huh
Think I'm gonna put it in my mouth just because you
Made a few bucks
Please brother please
Your revolution will no be me tossing my weave
And making me believe I'm some caviar eating ghetto
Mafia clown
Or me giving up my behind
Just so I can get signed
And maybe have somebody else write my rhymes
I'm Sarah Jones
Not Foxy Brown
You know I'm Sarah Jones
Not Foxy Brown
Your revolution makes me wonder
Where we could go
If we could drop the empty pursuit of props and the ego
We'd revolt back to our roots
Use little common sense on a quest to make love
De la soul, no pretense, but
Your revolution will not be you flexing your little sex and status
To express what you feel
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Will not be you shakin
And me, [fake yawn] faking between these thighs
Because the real revolution,that's right, I said the real revolution
You know, I'm talking about the revolution
When it comes
It's gonna be real
When it finally comes
It's gonna be real



as an interesting side note, this song was banned in the USA, last year, not from sale, i guess, but from radio play...i think it was by the FCC or something very high up too, i don't know all my american organizations, but it was the one in charge of this type of stuff, they deemed it obscene, for "sexual refernces"(am not kidding) and backed up the ban with a massive fine for playing it, banning radio play will essentially kill a song's chances for any popularity, though i might concede it would be unlikely mainstream stations would have played this song that much , any station was banned.
Sarah Jones later appealed, and i think she was rejected first, and then finally she got it overturned, by then it had been out for a while and stations usually like to play new songs, but at least it got overturned

I remember hearing about it when it was banned and thought 'Oh, right, I bet they'd play a song where the woman said she'd do any number of things to a guy, but if she asserts her right to say "no, thank you"...they ban her!'

Can you say 'hypocritical misogynists', boys and girls.

Totally unrelated, but sad nonetheless: someone asked me what the word 'misogynist' meant, she thought it was a person who gave massages. And this woman had to have been in her thirties.
