Black History

Black history goes back down to our roots
It's apart of who we are
From Rosa Parks to Martin Luther King
We got to get up, raise our voice, and sing
We should be proud of who we are 
Sometimes we're looked down upon because 
people don't understand what's at hand
We're a people that's dwindling
But what matters most is that we love and care
Even though we might get a blank look or stare
Thank God for black history.

Taking Control of Life

There are children playing
People saying
Live everyday as your last
And if you haven't been through something
How do you know about the experiences?
All I know is that we're all changing 
But if you know where you stand, it shouldn't matter
  what obstacles are in the way
As long as you have enough faith to pray
      
 I've noticed people just let things happen to them
But not everybody learns through experience
It's so sad because we get so many chances
Some people just give up or feel confused
Also they feel misguided and misused
To tell you the truth I was one of those people 
Now I look up to the steeple.

Finding Yourself

Sometimes you may find struggle
At times when you're all alone
and haven't found the one above
'Cause you're too in love that 
You put everything aside
Even if that means not being the true you inside
What shall you do? 
Praying would do some good
If you ever want to make it to Hollywood.

A Wish

I love being me, there isn't anything I will change
Except when I get a few years older
I'm sure my name won't be the same
I plan on getting married and being carried
By a man with good personality and a giving heart
I plan to love him like i have from the start
So, someday, I hope this dream comes true
There's nothing like committing my life to you.

Slipping Away

When I think of death 
I think what a tragedy
But whenI look at that persons life
I say it's beautiful
How does that affect you and me?
When we're tied in a knot eternally
For better or worse they say
It seems like each time I get close you slip away
What is that about?
I just wanna shout
Give me a clue what to do and I'll make it up to you

Who Am I?

Who am I?
Where do I stand?
I need to find my place
In a world that I fills up mounds of space
I'm someone of worth 
Don't you realize 
I feel like I've been hypnotized
Doesn't anyone hear me?
Hear my plea 
Help me find out more about me
I need you someone
Question are you that someone I'm suppose to meet? 
Why is there so much pressure on relationships? 
I'm more than just a relation
It's like a revelation when you and I collide
I'm someone who will love you more than anything
and won't stop till the world ends

Question is are you that someone I'm suppose to meet?
Why is thee so much pressure in relationships
I'm more than just a relation
It's like a revelation when you ad I collide
I'm someone who will love you more than anything
and won't stop till the world ends.
