Woman to Man

Woman to Man...

Man, I need you to be able to financially contribute to our well being and our livelihood. I cant do it all alone. We can't depend on only me. 

Need you to be able to hold me down. I'm holding myself down but I'm not in this alone; we need each other. I can't hold you down all on my own.

Where is your strength? Why excuses?  I need you.  To be able to life the financial burden of our needs for survival (rent, food, transportation, clothing, children,etc). These are our basic needs and I need you to put forth effort and do.

Not because the men before you did, but because you are grown. But you know my needs....the needs of our community. This is not new for today only. Our women should not have to go to prostitution because that's the only way she can get assistance from a man.  Like wow. I'm laying with you, but do you feel me?

Any man that expexts to be taken care of by a woman isnt ready for adulthood and has automatically failed his own children. But if he's not ready he should get ready. If a man feels that part of his needs is not to take care of his women and children then he is selfish and immature and should be happy to know that about himself and willing to grow.

First Wife Blues: A poly monologueystic poem

"How do I feel for real

when I see him kiss her lips just so;

His lips brush quicker on mine nowadays

But when he kisses hers it seems they kiss slow.

I see the way he looks at her

Sometimes he looks right past me

I see that newness in their eyes

And I can't see what THEY see in me

She would never even have him

 if it were not for me.

I helped to mold him into the man

 that she done stole from me.

(I know that's a lie)

 She's my sister, my heart, my friend; I hate I think that way

She's here because I prayed for her

And forever she will remain."

WAR:THE HYPOCRITE

In times like this we swallow hard
and sip the "glass-FULL" fate.
We deviate from fellowship
and cower down to hate.
And this (by "law" and in their eyes)
is right and just and condoned by man.
Though he knows deep down that killing's wrong;
blood's still on his hands.

CAUSE I AIN'T YO WOMAN

I KNOW WHY

I KNOW WHYYYY

CAUSE I AIN’T YO WOMAN

 I’M NOT PICKING UP THE PHONE TODAY

CAUSE I AIN’T GOTTA LIVE THIS WAY

NO MORE/BABY,

NO, NO MORE

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING I TRIED

COMES BACK THROUGH THE SIDE

LIKE IT AIN’T ISH

AND I KNOW YOU FEEL ME

I KEEP GIVING YOU ANOTHER CHANCE

TO SHOW ME A LITTLE ROMANCE

BUT YOU TOO BUSY

AND I KNOW YOU FEEL ME

BUT WHEN I TRY TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

YOU MAKE IT AN ISSUE ABOUT MY HEALTH

AND I’M SAYING THAT NICELY

BUT YOU AIN’T RIGHT

MY FRIENDS SAY I SHOULD LEAVE YOUR SIDE

BUT I’D RATHER LIVE IN YOUR LIE

AND THOUGH I KNOW YOU ARE MY LIFE

I AIN’T NEVER GON BE YOUR WIFE

I KNOW WHY

I KNOW WHYYYY

CAUSE I AIN’T YO WOMAN

Thursday

I don't know what this means
It's like something from our dreams
Unique in that she's the very one we wanted
Did GOD bless us with that moment

My mind and soul won't believe that it was wrong
It's like the words to the perfect love song
It's like what love feels like already right now
I know that she's the one to whom we would say vows

Wow....and it even about the sex
It was just really the connection of love at it's best
AND I really don't even know how to say it at all
Love expressed in a triad at passion's door, loving the fall.

This is ours
Our love, our pain, our scene
And though others came before and hurt us
We regained our crowns, both king and queen

This isn't about anyone else
Just the peace from escaping the world
Safety and soundness in each other's eyes
Shut off, just a man and his girl

Green Light

Real Recognize Real
That's the game we play
It's not no kiddy shit
It's real life these days
I put a lot on the line
But had to come to a hault
Now it's the middle finger
But you're the one at fault
At no time did I ever
turn my back to you
I kept it 100%
Never no games with you
But in the end you couldn't
handle the simple truth
And it caused you grief,
so what's a woman to do?
We were lovers, then friends,
then turned to family
I would have given you the world,
hell-I gave you my key
But you turned from a boy to a man
then to a bitch
Never really had my back,
turns out you were a snitch
So now you cannot exist to me
Pull a stunt on me again and it's death you'll see
Cause in the end
you are no longer shit to me
So I'll handle you
like all the lames that I see
Stay the hell away from my my door,
you have fucked up now
In your mind you're gangsta,
but I can show you how
Real Recognize Real,
I don't recognize you at all
And before you rise,
I will see you fall
So take that Bonneville,
or that Old school whip
And drive it the fuck away,
and hopefully you won't slip
Cause if I see you in my lane
in any way
Dem shooters will surely be
all up in your face.
