Everyone has heard about the Chris Brown / Rihanna fiasco. In terms of what happened, I think that they're both really young, famous, have tons of money, huge egos and a ridiculously unrealistic life. I don't think that men should ever resort to laying their hands on a woman. point blank.
However, I have played the "psycho girlfriend" role before and went left on a man because of a text message, email, video, having dinner at midnight with someone and calling it a business meeting and my girls and I stumbling upon them in the same restaurant (starting a scene, throwing shoes, slapping him, throwing my purse...screaming...looking like a damn fool for real)....yes, I've been there before so I can completely understand how Rihanna could've turned from everyone's favorite umbrella toting island girl, to girl gone way past bad...borderline nut case. Whatever transpired between her and C Breezy is their business but it is unfortunate that their personal lives have to get played out in front of the glare of the Hollywood cameras.
Recently I was listening to a song off her "Good Girl Gone Bad" album called "Breakin Dishes". Now, I've heard this song many times before, sang along and everything... but I never really paid attention to what she's saying. When all this drama went down with her and Chris I decided to google the words and thought it was interesting. The chorus of the song: "Imma fight a man tonight"....
Is this art imitating life?
Lyrics:
I don't know who you think I am
I don't know who you think I am
I don't know who you think I am
I don't know who you think I am, am am am...
He been gone (down) since three thirty
And coming home lately at three thirty
I'm super cool, I've been a fool
But now I'm hot and baby you gone get it
Now I ain't tripping ah, I ain't twisting ah
I ain't demented ah! well just a lil bit, ah
I'm kicking asses, I'm taking names
I'm on flame don't come home babe
I'm breaking dishes up in here
All night (Oh-oh)
I ain't go stop until I see police lights (Oh-oh)
I'm a fight a man (tonight)
I'm a fight a man (tonight)
I'm a fight a man
A man, a man, a ma-a-a-an
A man, a man, a ma-a-a-an
I'm still waiting, come through the door
I am killing time, you know bleaching your clothes
I am roasting marshmallows on the fire
And what I am burning is your attire
I am getting restless
I am getting testy
And I can't believe he's always out every night and never checks in
Is he cheating? Man I don't know
I am looking around for something else to throw
I'm breaking dishes up in here
All night (Uh-huh)
I ain't go stop until I see police lights (Uh-huh)
I'm a fight a man (tonight)
I'm a fight a man (tonight)
I'm a fight a man
A man, a man, a ma-a-a-an
A man, a man, a ma-a-a-an
Oh...
I don't know who you think I am (I am...)
(I don't know who you think I am)
But I really don't give a damn right now
If you don't come I am going to huff and puff until
I am going to blow this blow this hole
I am going to blow this blow this hole
I am going to blow this house house down!
Dishes! breaking! dishes! breaking! dishes!
I'm breaking dishes up in here
All night (Uh-huh)
I ain't go stop until I see police lights (Uh-huh)
I'm a fight a man (tonight)
I'm a fight a man (tonight)
I'm a fight a man
A man, a man, a ma-a-a-an
A man, a man, a ma-a-a-an
A man, a man, a ma-a-a-an
A man, a man, a ma-a-a-an
Breaking, breaking, breaking
Dishes, dishes, dishes
Breaking, breaking, breaking
Dishes, dishes, dishes
Breaking, breaking, breaking
Dishes, dishes, dishes
Breaking, breaking, breaking
Dishes, dishes, dishes
