Are We In Love?

There are things that I'm going through that no one knows of 

But it’s written on the walls of Egypt
 

I gotta read your phrases like 10 times and I'm not checkin for grammatical 
rhymes

I'm adding up the I love you’s and I wish you were mine’s

I'm trying to keep my eyes from watering because you make me want to erase 
love and start over again

You make me want to re-evaluate the one that I'm with and flip the script

And see if I love me as much as you do

Boy let me tell you.

I love you

There have been days I wanted to call and say just that

But I know there would be more to the story

I couldn’t just tell how much I adore thee

I couldn’t just say it and think that would be it

I know that would be the moment that could make your heart say o’shiit

I need to make this move 

Even though I'm with another dude, 

I love you

Aint the type to break up happy homes

Especially since both of us are trying to prove them wrong

 I don’t want to make a mistake

I don’t want to be the one to walk away from all I know

To fall into the abyss of mystery 

Cause I only know you as a friend you see

Yes it flatters me that your thoughts are tattoos beneath my left breast

Yet I can’t get to that yet

I'm still stuck with your reflection as my shadow in the vanity

I'm still forced to deal with the fact that you may truly love me

Why did I wake up this morning and come to work

Sitting in my office with a hell of a smirk

I can’t even front…

I been goin’ through some shiit and I wanted tell you

But I can’t because there is only so much you can do

You may be my guardian angel 

But it’s gonna take a helluva Monarch to get me through

And trust me I'm not saying you’re not capable 

Let me stop there

We parallel on a plane headed for eternity

I'm the money you are the security

What more do we need to add to this recipe?

O yeah…I guess that would be…u and me.

Think About It

I got that I love you yet cant stand to be around 
Yet sometimes you make me want to leave you by the way you act 
I can be stressed without your stress and depressed without you to be 
depressed over 
at times I feel like nothing in this world could compare 
At others I feel like I’m comparing you to someone who can do better
I got it on lock with the love in my heart for you
 Yet it seems as all you do is break my heart and hurt me too
I got that half sour half sweet feeling going on at times 
I feel weak for you then the way you treat me makes me strong
You are a definite positive to my comparative state of emotion at bay then you 
surface as a snake and a ripe tide begins 
I fall in this den of negativity 
You pull me under like the devil in hell himself 
God sent you an angel and this is what you’ve done to his help
I’m here to love you but all you see is pain 
I’m here to warm you and you put me out in the rain
What do I do? Do I stay in thoughts that you will become my charming prince? 
Or do I leave now based on this repeated evidence.
 U tell me cause it’s one choice to be made
 I should feel like a queen instead I feel like a love slave. 
Considerate and loyal too but all I hear is I don’t know how to trust you. 
For your love I have played the fool but in the end it will be you who will be left 
schooled. 
You will learn later that the love I have for you is greater than any wall in china,
Wider than any deep blue sea, and stronger than the faith of mustard seed 
I’m so fed up but I know what I need.
 I need to either leave you alone 
Or teach you how to treat me.

Cursin' U Out

God’s gift to the world
Casanova
Wanna-be as
With your playa-listic mentality
U make me third world country sick and ashamed that I ever crossed your path
Do me a favor
And go take a nice hot bath
Soak off some of that ego 
That got you running round here
Acting a damn fool
Let some of that “she wish she had me”
Mentality down the drain and out the gutter that you derived from
U aint shid but a bum as tick infested with the gluttony of being stuck on yourself 
Make of it what you wish
Check this
When you realize how many of these groupie-as broads aint nothing
But groupie-as
Gold-diggin
Want to do nothing but keep you in the ditch you been already crawling in for so 
long broads
Maybe then you’ll know that your greatest ancestry father did not die pickin’ cotton 
With lashes on his back
“Yes massah” on his lips
Gospel hymns in his every thought and nothing but love in his heart for you to 
Play these huchie mama
Aint got the rent money 
But wearing Versace
Stripping by night
Hoin’ by day caught up in the 
What a man wants mind frame flippin tricks for Mary Jane
And still walk alone tainted and ashamed
Still stuck in a rut 
All to let some gigolo as nigga get a nut
Don’t you understand the color of your own skin?
Why you think black aint in the rainbow?
Cause its too damn beautiful 
You better recognize it and stop
Trying to analyze what puscy you get the most juice to coat your jerry curled pubic 
roots
Cause I’m a let you know
Aint no puscy better than being a real man and I’m gon be cursin’ you out until 
the lesson I just taught is easy for you to understand

Coldest Winter Ever

in the coldest winter ever, i learned to b-more careful
skool of hard knocks taught me to be more street smart 
you see i grew up in the bronx 
but mommy made it disney world
cause i was her only baby girl
i still saw the misery and learned real early that it loves company 
so i should'nt talk to strangers or they'd put me in danger
 introduce me to the things i shouldn't know
i learned to be a little lady not have my 14th birthday baby shower party
my aunties already knew the code of the streets and i learned to decode the 
messages my mother taught me by kickin the cypher
 I tried to keep my ear to the streets and learn the stories of the lifas
 i wanted to be well-rounded so when i stepped of the curb i would still remain 
grounded
i wasn't at the number hole or in the corner set-up I kept my head up
I was lookin for the light at the end of the ghetto 
i wasn't gon' let it take me in circles
Cause i knew i had to do some new shiit 
cause in the coldest winter ever i became more clever 
I Learned why mommy said don't go exposin ya gold in the ghetto
wear a sweater

Y Don'T U Love Me

What if I kissed new lips?
What if those lips kissed my clit?
What if I got over you?
What would you do?
Half of you would think I never loved you
When in reality I placed only one above you 
The other half would just laugh knowing I'm just not meant to be alone
And if you came home the key would still be in the same place
And a smile would replace the hidden frown on my face
And I could care less about the time as long as you were mine again
Though the trust would never be the same 
You’d have to do so much to find the love again
Cause you under stand I couldn’t just love you again
You’d have to understand the tears I cried
The nights I wanted to call but never dialed
That one day I felt like I was gonna die
The days people asked how you were and I said things were fine
Cause in my mind it was just a few days
And you were just away
Until I realized I had no more tears to cry 
And need to move on
What if I waited for you?
Would I be a fool?
I don’t want to move unless I'm in ya shadow 
Why does this feel like a passionate battle?
You told me I was ya everything
The love of your life
Proposed to make me ya wife
And now life seems new
Don’t even know what to do
For five years I aint make a move without you
But you don’t want me 
Or don’t need me
Called me talking bout you want to do you
What the fuq am I to do
When I realized you wasn’t happy I should left
But I was thinking to myself maybe this is a test
But the tests kept turning into pop quizzes 
I been in this class five years and still ain’t winnin’
Thought I had you when you showed me the love in ya eyes
Then I found out it was only to make me smile
Cryin in the closet bout the love that used to be
Wondering to myself what happened to “we”
I knew the shiits been coming I been feelin’ it for weeks
I could feel it in your touch
See it in your eyes 
And hear it when you speak
Yet I didn’t want to be the first to say goodbye
Every time I take a shower I break down and cry
Didn’t have the heart to go outside in the rain
Didn’t want anyone to see my pain
So I tucked my broken heart in my sock drawer behind those things I won’t need 
no more
Still not really sure this is happening
I'm writing crazy love songs and I can’t sing
I need you to remember one thing
I loved you more than love loves love

Kms-Unf..(Ode To Lauryn Hill)

Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his words
Killing me softly and it hurts
Killing me softly So come home

Momentary relapses down memory lane
got me singing songs like "i'm going down" to erase the pain
why dont you come home you know ain't Shiit changed
I still wear my panties pretty
still want you to rub and suck my ...
still want to make out in the middle of the club like we caught in the Matrix
I know you need some time but damn I hate this
why when I see you all I want to do is strip
but not so you can fuq me just so you can see i'm all the woman you need

It's obvious to see we're not done 
even though the thought of commitment makes you run
it's still fun to get that feeling all over like butta flyz is kung foo fighting in my 
abdomen
Frontin like i'm not feeling you is my only sin

Sweetest Breakup

Caught a Flight out of town 
Hadn’t seen you in while
Wondered if you’d still look the same
Still want me to be ya number one dame
At one time you offered me your last name
Then in a blink ya mind changed
No hurt feelings 
Some times dealings can get touchy
But I loved you too much to see 
See that neither of us was really ready
Still kicking it like our bad days don’t have a place on a calendar page
Still licking and kissing like if the sun rose then the moon set 3 times consecutively it
still would only be the beginning to a race that has no ending
Still wondering if ya heart is still pending the transactions of vows
But as of today you no longer are allowed
No longer endowed with the riches of this misses
No longer enriched with the bliss of my lipgloss kiss
I’m No longer available to answer your call has been missed
Don’t even remember the names of our imaginary kids that I gave birth to on our way to the
top of superstardom and you were such a good dad changing diapers and making bottles not
time for postpartum
I forgot about the whip I bought you on our 20 year anniversary to the hall filled with
our closest friends our imaginary kids and both sides of our family
I didn’t even dream up a thought of how you would look when ya sexy grey grew in ya goat t
and you aged like pinot noir 
Nope I promise I didn’t let my hopes and dreams get that far
I only got to the 2 days reserved on my Microsoft outlook saying “going to see my baby” in
the subject line
Didn’t even realize this would be the last time
You was there to pick me up the embrace was in the best taste with the golden touch
 single rose to arouse my nose you took the luggage filled with mine and your clothes
yes…clothes you left when you left 
clothes that I remembered not to forget on my trip cause when I came home I just wanted to
forget that you ever did exist
butterflies in my stomach from the first time we kissed
you was talking about plans you made and all the places we had to hit
all ya friends wanted to shake my hand and all them jealous chicks you went to school wit
wanted to see if I was that bytch
 and yes I did bring my cutest fits
with them shoes that only look cute but really hurt like shiit
got my hair colored pressed and clipped bikini waxed and all that just in case we took a swim
but anyway where was I, yeah the sweetest breakup had began
in the car just quiet holding hands
playing jams like you’re all in need to get by
 by mr meth and mary blidge then sweetest thing

I Got the Blues

I got the blues I got the, I don’t want to flirt anymore cause it’s getting old blues
U temp me, tease me 
Now I think its time for you to cease my fiending
You don’ finga tipped my emotional keys to notes that had not been written on the 
scales of an angels harp
I got the blues
I don’t know where to start
I been waiting for you, you have arrived and still in anxiety I anticipate releasing 
my sensual suspense
Your smile is sweet but I need sensation to spice things up
These blues got me buggin’
I’m hot like a bar at happy hour, when the number one song comes on
But please, don’t play me, win the game
Take my blues 
Replace my blues with a rainbow, 
Prisms of silhouette shadows,
Echoes of enchanting bliss
Hit those notes that you wrote in my life
And
ERASE MY BLUES

A Path To Freedom: a Black Mans Dream

Today I’m free from slavery
Yet hatred still revolves in my life rev MLK had a dream
it was for darkness of hatred to be freed by the light
Dr king died doing his best so that people like me would have a better place to 
live in
 A different world than the one he lived in everyday he wanted a change but It 
seemed the more change was made the more most things stayed the same
Slavery ended and segregation and oppression began
The only difference was now we were not bonded but our rights as humans still 
were. We were free to go wherever we pleased 
But not free from disgust and hateful remarks
Signs that banned the colored from certain privileges 
If people put as much energy in to love as that did with hatred
The world would be lovely
But it seems as thought that dream is a fantasy and  
It seems as though history repeats itself
I’M SUPPOSE TO BE FREE! 
With my 40 acres and a mule
Yet I’m held captive by hatred of people who think they can rule me, 
Just because my skin was dark brown
It’s not going to happen because we have rights now
Hatred of people like me who think because one generation put chains on our 
feet and lashes on our backs called us words that started with the letter n 
referring to “blacks”
Listen to me, one bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch
Black and white are two shades of beauty to me 
Two five-letter words that mean my skin in darker than yours is light
Don’t try to stereotype me as a person who hates you because of the past
I look in to the future on to my freedom path 
I can not be in despair about mistakes and bad judgment 
I have to get over my feelings toward things that happened long ago 
I can forgive, I just won’t forget or I will make the same mistake as other people 
around here
