I used to like Queen Latifah for selfish reasons
I found her gorgeous
One of my first crushes
She sang "When You're Good To Mama"
And I took some selfish pride in that
Some smug optimism
I thought-
Just look at her-
She isn't as thin as I'm told to be
And she's gorgeous
Look, look, look-
And so I fell in love with that character she played
And I take pride in the fact I played that role
And I take pride that I learned what she learned
Everything gets better once you decide to love yourself
I haven't kept up with her much
But I like that lots about her
And I like her now for that moral
If I understood that the first time I saw her with my impressionable eyes
I'd be further along than I am now
Though at least I'm here at this time
At least I've gotten here by now
Anyways, I like Queen Latifah
I suppose that's still a selfish reason, but a tad lesser so
