MEN:Calling a girl a bitch is bad, but calling her a woman is good. However, if you want brownie points, call her a lady.
On the other side of the coin, Lupe is telling women what they should aspire to be. You shouldn’t want to be a bad bitch, you should want people to see you as a woman or a lady.
Lupe might be also playing with “misunderstood”, as it could be seen as “Ms. Understood”
The word ‘they’ could be used to describe women as a whole or our society but that isnt important. What he wants to show to us is that because of media we dont understand that being a bitch has a negative connotation and that being a woman or a lady is highly looked upon as compared to a bitch.
He’s not saying “they misunderstood”. He’s say hey Miss Understood. It’s a play on words and further drives home the nuances between the words.
I think it is like the N word. Who uses it, and understanding its political context.
I just wrote a paper about Fela Kuti’s song “Lady” in which he talks about how African females would rather be called a lady than a woman, because “woman” is a very westernized term

How about the “Ms. Understood” lady, is one who is literally a BAD bitch, GOOD woman, or a BETTER lady.
