Yea, I ate it. Cuz, fuck it, I was hungry. & apples are natural appetite suppressants. Can’t be mad at a girl for being worried about her figure, nah mean?
Ah, you still think the snake talked me into it? Please. I lived with Adam. I been knew about snakes in the grass. Didn’t you know he was always dry-snitching on me to Pops? Shit, even blamed the apple on me like I forced him to take a bite—, like a bitch don’t be greedy, why the fuck would I have shared?
Nah, see, I’m a charmer. I asked the snake to find the reddest apple, to rattle his tail like a dinner bell when he did, and damn that shit was juicy sweet. I didn’t even wipe my chin. Why the fuck would an untamed thing ever crave a shepherd, when all she ever needed was the wild of her own wool?

I find this to be absolutely hilarious and an incredibly interesting idea for how Eve could have been. I’ve personally never listened to Cardi. B, but I definitely know the Eve legend and this is a huge twist on it. How she asked the snake to find her a delicious apple, how she became angry when Adam snitched on her, her reaction to him saying that she forced him to eat it, and how she calls ‘God’, Pops! I find it to be an incredibly beautiful poem that has a keen sense of who’s reading and the masterfully chosen words to say what you want to say. Whoever claims that using words such as “fuck” or “shit” or any other ‘curse’ word is just trying to find the easy way out of using long and complicated words is a foolish idiot. ‘Curse’ words are just another form of expressing your emotions and this poem easily forms a picture in my head with the words it does use, let’s rewrite a line and see how it looks, “Yea, I ate the apple. I was hungry and apples are natural appetite suppressants.” This is boring, and incredibly bland, you could get an award for boring your readers! She isn’t afraid of using any form a language in her poems and that, in itself, demands respect.
