What’s so important
bout me putting on a skirt?
My Saviour said come as I am…
now there are demands on what I wear
as long as I’m respectful
I don’t care
How long as it been
I’ve waited for my ma
to stop picking out my clothes
now this man
who I don’t know
taking over her role
I don’t have no more
damn skirts in my closet
you go buy me some
My Saviour says come as I am…
And that’s how I’m gon’ come

tlc,
this is at once erotic and religious:
My Saviour says come as I am…
And that’s how I’m gon’ come
It is as sassy as its author. I do love it.
