"Intellectual Girl"

Well I went digging through some of the older songs I wrote and came across this one, which is my favorite from back then, check it out:

“Intellectual Girl”

Written By Big Ted

Verse One:

Yo, sometimes life is crazy

That's when I feel sad times dazin' me

You can't tell but look even I get depressed

'Cause sometimes all I see is stress

This world is nothing but a mess

My rhymes come straight from my heart

That's what makes all haters fall apart

Good people in the world die everyday

But the haters keep rolling around the way

See they'll have to answer to God someday

I don't worry 'cause they'll really never have their day

And yo it's sad to see how some women get abused

Some brothers have a disrespectful views

However, some chicks can be hating too

They'll just break your heart and stomp on you

I desperately want a lady with a strong point of view

With a strong mind that has a lot of ingredients like a pot of beef stew

Chorus:

Yo, I need an intellectual girl

That doesn't just want me to buy her rubbies and pearls

And that will love me for who I am

She can't treat me like another man

'Cause I don't just want to have sex

This girl has to be someone I can talk with and connect

Yo, I need an intellectual girl

'Cause a G needs love in this world

Verse Two:

Understand that I don't need a whore

'Cause I rather have someone worth much more

That can make my day when I'm sad and sore

Yo, see I need a girl that will never keep me bored

And she'll be there for Big Ted when it rains and pours

That won't ever be afraid to knock on my door

I don't want to have to fuss and fight

I want to love her with all my might

Hurt, pain, and rejection would be my fright

So that's why this girl needs to show me “The Light”

Like I'm Common and then I'll make sure our future is bright

I would never let her out of my sight

When I see her, I 'll just want to hug and kiss her

'Cause I won't ever want to shove and piss her

Like Guy I'll give this shorty “A Piece Of My Love”

There will be no girl that I would place above

As long as she's sweet as a dove

Or maybe sweet as a peach

This love could get “Juicy” like that track from Biggie

I want to walk with her at the beach

And I want to hear all the wisdom that she could teach

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse Three:

See I need a lover

That will treat me like no other

This intellectual girl doesn't have to be the best in her class

And she doesn't have to tell me about her past

I will treat her precious like glass

And I won't ever let her pass

Me especially when I need a lady with a strong mind

That will help me get through the hip-hop grind

Big Ted just wants to have a good time

Yo getting the phat cars and cribs off of success won't quite fit

'Cause all I rather have is shorty I could chill with

I don't worry about just money

I want have a day that's sunny

Every night I pray to the lord for a intellectual girl

Like Mary J. that could “Share My World”

And help all my life and dreams unfurl

That'll be worth much more than materials

I want a lady that'll keep it real

Even through my life ordeals

The love that we'll share, nobody could steal

That's every night I dream

I'll meet a lady that'll make my life gleam

'Cause I realise love and affection

Must be there when I get older to give my heart and soul ressurection

See I'm trying to make rhymes deep for eternity

When I find this dream girl my life will be complete

And Big Ted'll never go in defeat

[Repeat Chorus]

That was great ted. I really liked it. It 'd be a nice one to listen to. It's cool that u made references to songs too.

"I desperately want a lady with a strong point of view

With a strong mind that has a lot of ingredients like a pot of beef stew" - that was a nice thought out of lines

"And I want to hear all the wisdom that she could teach" - true definition of an Intellectual Girl.

Dang ted, U got so many rhymes that would be loved by the masses if they heard em.

Thanks y'all I think that the best thing about writing songs is looking back and think about how I felt when I made it, I definately think a lot peeps could relate to this especially ones in school 'cause the smarter girls get overlooked a lot by those who are stuck up but get a lot of guys from lookin' good, but I appreciate the intellectual girls more, sometimes I think about if I was back in high school still I'd probably try to get to know some of them better than I did, a lot of them were shy and didn't talk much, I wish I could of said more to them 'cause girls like them ain't easy to find, I'm still trying to find one like I described, it's more than just a song to me. I think the songs are reflection of life and I'm trying to live and learn more.

And about the songs I mentioned as a reference, I was listening to "The Light" on Common's "Like Water For Chocalate" the other day and I was thinkin' about this "Intellectual Girl" song I wrote right around that time after I heard that song, music can touch you, and I want someone to say the same thing one day when they hear my songs, I wanna express myself the right way. Thanks for the feedback! :thumb:

This was dope!

What about gettin a mic? :)

Thanks for the feedback, I don't wanna record right now, I'm still just finding myself as an artist and I ain't rushing into it yet, when my finances are right I'd like to start my own independent label, I don't wanna do what everyone else does, I wanna take charge when I decide to record, but I ain't trying to take FP's place or anything I'm just trying to do my thing and earn my name with hard work.
