Message To the Brothers

In the words of the great Huey Freeman, hope is irrational 
hope will have you trying to rationalize
between you heart and your head 
on whose logic is more rationale 
Lights, camera, action now 
there's a lot of people out here 
losing themselves trying to please someone else
but love is a battlefield right? 
and the cost is always high 
just don't become a casualty to war 
give your all and always remain transparent
but unfortunately that won't guarantee you anything 
so here's my advice to you, remain true
yeah it's important to watch what they say 
but more importantly watch what they do 
never date anyone twice
because it's kinda asinine to relive any emotional anguish 
but most importantly my brothers 
is that you choose a woman who speaks your love language
