I Used To

You know I used to think that
I was the problem when it came to relationships
I used to think I wasn't good enough didn't look good enough
and I was the reason the females I was with
was fallin in lust not love.

I thought God was pullin the rug from underneath my feet
but what I had to understand and realize is
that I'm only human and yeah my heart stil bleeds
Eternally, physically, mentally, and emotionally
all I ever wanted was someone to actually love me
but in all actuality it was my heart
that was going to be a homicidal casualty.

You see I'm blessed with a gift & a curse
to love & to hate but I too make mistakes
God gave me the option he put before me
life & death curses & blessings
he told me to choose and even though
he already knew the decision I was going to make
I heard my guardian angel telling me
the only fate is the one you make.

So it's only with the power that God gives me
that I speak and spitt so poetically 
and the one thing I'll never forget is
he was the one that never left me 
so with this lyrical testament 
I give all honor and praise 
to God that he chose to bless me. THANK YOU!
