Women Empowerment: Gentlemen of the Year I Thank You





I truly love Ne-Yo for this =]

With a strong melody, loads of synths, nice modern but hip beats, these videos truly bring out the hipper more realistic Jane Austens' of our time. Ne-Yo goes on to appreciate how independent women can be and i truly appreciate it. Its a nice step from stereotypical rappers and their use of women as "hoes, gold-diggers or pieces of meat". It amazes how some degrade women to a certain extent and all you can see is these same women "shakin what their momma gave em" But honestly its nice to know beauty also comes WITH brains and a lack of dependence on such things. It is truly a great breath of fresh air from the vulgar, mysogonistic and lust driven mainstream music market and rappers. It speaks truth. This album solidifies NeYo as one of the few male artists whose music is a celebration of women as opposed to a perpetuation of their exploitation. He truly is among many others a genuine gentlemen. And its great to know that men find independent smart intellectual and goal driven women sexy =]

Lyrics:
[Jamie Foxx:]
I love her cause she got her own
She don't need mine, so she leave mine alone
There ain't nothing in this world sexy
Than a girl that want but don't need me
Young independent, yea she work hard
But you can tell from the way that she walk
She don't slow down cause she ain't got time
To be complaining, shawty gon shine
She don't expect nothing from no guy
She plays agressive, but she still shy
But you never know her softer side
By lookin in her eyes
No way she can do for herself
Makes me wanna give her my world

Only kinda girl I want
Independent queen workin for her throne
I love her cause she got her own
She got her own
I love her cause she got her own
She got her own
I love it when she say
It's cool I got it, I got it, I got it
I love it when she say
It's cool I got it, I got it, I got it

[Ne-Yo:]
I love it cause she got her own
She don't need mine, so she leave mine alone
There ain't nothin that's more sexy
Than a girl that want, but don't need me
Lovely face
Nice thick thighs
Plus she got drive that matches my drive
Sexy Thang
She's mcfly
All the while payin the bills on time
She don't look at me like Captain Save Em
Gold Diggin, no she don't do that
Now she lookin me like inspiration
She wanna be complimentin my swag
And everything she got, she work for it, good life made for it
She take pride in sayin that she paid for it

Only kind of girl I want
Independent queen workin for her throne
I love her cause she got her own
She got her own
I love her cause she got her own
She got her own
I love it when she say
It's cool I got it, I got it, I got it
She say
Uh Uh, I got it, I got it, I got it

[Fabolous:]
Don't make me laugh boo
Never did that bad too
Make you even have to
But even if I had to
Ask my better half to
You be more than glad to
When I do that math boo
You always try to add two
I need someone who'd ride for me
Not someone who'd ride for free
She said boy I don't just ride, She'll pull up beside of me
I had to ask her what she doin in that caddy
She said cause you my baby I'd be stuntin like my daddy
And there's not many, who catch my eye
We both wearing gucci, she match my fly
And that's why I, Suppose to keep her closer
Right by the side, toast and to host her
And that she went low so, cause you didn't know so
You can save your money dawg shawty getting dough so
What she care with his cars, you can call her miss boss
I got it backwards, criss cross, shawty got her own

Got her own
I love her cause she got her own
She got her own
I love it when she say
It's cool I got it, I got it, I got it
I love it when she say
Uh Uh, I got it, I got it, I got it

and the much appreciated...

Miss Independent

Lyrics:
Ooh its something about just something about the way she moved
I cant figure it out, there's something about her (about her)
Say ooh theres something about,
Kinda women that want you but dont need you
Hey, i cant figure it out, there's something about her
Cuz she walk like a boss, talk like a boss
Manicured nalis, just sent the pedicure off
She's fly effortlessly
Cuz she move like a boss, do what a boss
Do, she got me thinking about getting involved

Ooh there's something about kinda woman that can do it for herself
I look at her and it makes me proud, there's something about her
there something ooh so sexy about the kinda women that dont even need my help
She says she got it, she got it, no doubt, theres something about her
Cuz she work like the boss, play like the boss
Car and a crib, she about to pay em both off
And her bills are paid on time
She made for a boss, Soley a boss,
Anything less, shes telling em to get lost
Thats the girl that on my mind

She got her own thing
Thats why i love her
