So you’re balding, huh? And instead of embracing it, you out here trying to hold on to your hair like Stevie Wonder.

Your closet is full of bell bottoms, air forces, and jeans with rhinestones on the butt. It’s gonna take you 7 paychecks to buy a wardrobe full of clothes that look like they’re from this millennium. Don’t go chasing waterfalls, Ms. Pearly. Please stick to the Girbauds and the Phat Farm you’re used to.

You out here listening to “Big Ole Freak” like it’s Adina Howard “Freak Like Me,” but your twerk ain’t what it used to be. Now you threw your back out trying to keep up with 20 year olds. THEY can’t even keep up with Megan. Stick to your two-step, Ms. Gladys.
