Trickin if you got it?

For as long as I can remember, I've been told (from rap music of course) that "it aint trickin if you got it" It took me YEARS to figure out what that means. In my understanding, that statement refers to the promiscuous activities of women for monetary favors. Apparently if you are a broke female with no cash of your own then the aforementioned action labels you a "trick" and thusly are "trickin". But if you have your own source of income, then it's ok and you're not labeled anything.

Then you have all these songs about women being independent and not needing a man for anything, and as of late these songs are being made by MEN! (Ne-Yo, Webbie, etc.) Now, what I get from this is that the guys out there don't mind spending some cash on the ladies they entertain in their bedroom as long as these women can drive themselves home in their own cars. Hmmm... I guess that's understandable, but what about when the shoe is on the other foot? Is it "trickin" if a man is broke as a joke and mangaes to pull a financially stable young woman who takes care of some expenses here and there for him, as long as she's satisfied? Last time I checked that was just called being trifling and free loading, but NOT trickin!!!

Why is it that women have to get called tricks in the event that they are not as financially stable as their "buddy" for lack of a better term? I say it's ALL TRICKIN! You're trickin if you're spending on her and she's not wifey, she's trickin cuz she's not wifey. You're trickin if you spending on him and he's not hubby, and you're trickin if you're not hubby! Let's do better people.
