I Am...
Everysince I've came about you've taken advantage of my name
Whispered me in the ear of others and later put me to shame
Abused me , used me
misused me and left me clueless,
take your time to get to know me
my power's been prooven.
I'm the one that keeps things moving
when you loose a step -
I'm ya destiny child, because of me you'll loose ya breath.
I tried to keep the peace but what you choose is death at times
you fine swine to ease ya mind blind by these -
little r&b rhymes but a chance you're scared to take,
experience my faith and don't put me to waste.
I Am...
that hand that slowly mesages ya back in tha night,
those two lips that kisses ya spot to make you take flight,
I am not a slap in da face I am a kiss on ya cheek,
I'm kinda like ya mother's sweet potatoe pie
in the middle of the night.
I'm marriage not divorce
I am the people's voice.
I am love. Peace.
