WORDING
When everything
Falls in place for you
When you feel like, you're on top the world
Mind your actions
Even when you're highest
Live with humility, but don't be timid
Don't act like you own the world, because it revolves.
What goes up
Must surely come down
The law of gravity
Nothing blooms forever
The law of

They act like I don't exist
The most heartbreaking thing in a mother's life
Is the that you are made to feel even though you are a mother of three and you are a wife
It doesn't make you feel good and it breaks your heart
When the 3 children that you gave life to
Acts like to them you don't exist

We Wont Act Like That
Newlyweds in Michigan City trailng tin cans pause at the stoplight.
Car hauling distraught looking man on a rope races out of sight
You don’t suppose that’s her husband! The new groom said.
Oh yes it is, said the bride. He’s my uncle, his name is Ted.
But it says they have been married thirty years.
My Aunt Agnes is

Don'T Act Like You Don'T Know Me
Now I've been quiet for a long time
And i ain't keeping quiet no more.
You once were loving, then controlling,
And ran me straight outta the door.
Now when I first saw your face,
You were the one who kissed my tears away...
Now all you do is push me around,
And you can't expect me to stay....
Your love, it wasn't

When I Act Like a Baby
When I act like a baby?
So innocent at heart , full of life
Making no enemies of none, free mind
Baby cries, a sudden switch to laughter
And as they play, to catch unlimited fun
I am your man not by muscles
Responsible, so lovely and cool
Determined and very ambitious
But in some ways, somehow
Will

Must I Act Like a Goat
Must I act like a Goat for you to know
that I am not a Goat?
Goats are stupid and senseless but I am not!
Treat me not like a Goat 'cause I am not one!
You know it all but never give me a breathing space.
Must I act like a Goat to show you that i
Don't like your

You Act Like God Shouldn'T Have Created Me
You Act Like God Shouldn’t Have Created Me!
You act as though God shouldn’t have created me!
You show this by the way you’ve treated me!
You go through life, as if I don’t exist!
I’m not able to talk to you…
As you insist!
If you truly valued this life that God gave me…
Won’t you take some time and show

Act Like a Man
I’ve bitten my tongue one too many times.
Tasting my blood of defeat.
But above all else, I wish I would just speak.
To tell him to shut the **** up already.
And show him that I’ve tolerated his degrading uses
of the words, *****, gay, and *** long enough.
But every time I protest, it is I who tastes blood

Act Like Something We Ain'T
sometimes the
African Juju spirit
inside of me
make me want be
Kunta Kinte but
all we really
have to do
as Black Folks is
to let go of
all that and a bag of chips
the negative images and the stereotypes
love thyself because
we have a real beauty
deep within us
we define who we are
as a Great People
from Mother Africa
if
