Aretha Franklin and Sarah Vaughn sing the blues
On the note of a Lucinda Williams tune
Cassandra Wilson’s soulful gust sweeps through
While Karen Carpenter soothes you under an Apple Badu
If Stevie was the gypsy from the past
Then Janis was the Joplin with the classic belt
Unmasked
India and Alicia have the fingers with the hook
But a voice is not a voice until Jill Scott takes a look
And even then Lauryn Hill will rhyme you under a bridge
Where Tina Turner is rocking it with the best
No ike to impinge
Except Beyonce’s bootie which is dangerously in love
With Annie Lennox’s sweet dreams cause she does soul like a qualified sin
Make love to a Chaka attack
Break up to an Anita Baker track
Linger on a bjork tangent
Let the beat of Misdemeanor bring it back
Madonna made it big in the 80s because she was a virgin and stuff
And Kate was the Bush we lingered in like the sweetest school crush
