Is it Just Me?

I fantasize about luxuries and trips overseas
My mental state being where it's suppose to be
The highs in the lows of this perplexity
Complement me, on my success baby
I challenge thee to think out the box
No detox i don't want to be sticker shocked
What i work for
To cry with attitude cause rent is due
aint got no boo or even a GO-TO
How bout whispering the chant of success
While another out of wed lock child lays on your breast
The substance to fulfill
Destiny is pleased
I dont want to struggle
I wanna live free.
My apologies if this sounds like you
Crying at night cause bills overdue
Got a notice on the door
You been at work all day
Where the money go
On another bill the other day
As soon as you get it is as fast as it leaves
Diapers wipes formula
Or car note gotta keep them keys
My minds fed up gotta reprogram and situate my financial prestige
save some money on minumum wages
Feel like my check got me locked in a cages
Im outraged and yet by my experience is not what i get paid
2nd job tired as hell
Wondering when the day will come when i can show in tell
I exhale that i always make a way that part of being a child of God
Sucess runs thru my veins
Discipline i lack
You know a black women dont take no slack
 Is it color or education we Lack
I'm educated cannot be duplicated but this paper does nothing for these minimum  wages
I engage with people going places and those that dream to be
Why am i broke what's my destiny
Do i speak a different language
or is it the ink on my skin
That defines my character
RAGING within
I'm careful
but should i be cautious
Does the sight of of Notice make you nauseous
My testimony is real
Don't pull no punches
They say hard work pays off
So why do i receive the losses
Better days ahead instead
I came up with a master plan
Reap the harvest of the seeds you plant
And make sure you touch the land
Don't put your life is Man hands
But God instead.
if it pleasure you to ridicule the fact
All people that are broke ain't lazy
THAT's A FACT

CHOICES

I DONT WRITE THEN POST SO ON THAT NOTE
LETS GRAB A COAT
HOP IN THE CAR JUST TO TAKE A DRIVE
IM INSIDE LETTING THE WIND RESIDE IN MY HAIR AS IT BLOWS
I DONT MEMORIZE I JUST TESTIFY
TO THINGS THAT TAKES PLACE
MAKING MY LIFE WHAT IT IS TODAY
MY UNDERSTANDING TO THIS IS THAT I PAVE THE WAY
FOR TRUTH AS IT STANDS
I DO THIS FOR THE KIDS SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND
I HAVE NO HYPOTHESIS FOR THE THINGS I TYPE
AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I DONT WRITE
I BRING THE TRUTH IN THE WORDS I SAY
THATS[' WHY IT FLOWS LIKE THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
I DO OBEY THE LAND OF THE LAW
I DO THINGS BY ORDER
SO THINGS DONT GET CROSSED
NOT NEW TO THIS BUT I LEARNED EXACTLY WHY
I TEAR DOWN WALLS WITH MY WORDS
IN HOPES FOR HEALING FOR ALL
THIS LIFE IS TO BE LIVED NOT JUST A FREE FALL
DECISIONS MADE MY WORDS STAND TO BE TRUE
I WASNT BORN THIS WAY
ONLY TAUGHT IN MY YOUTH!!!

FOOLISH OF ME

IS IT FOOLISH TO WANT TO HOLD HANDS IN A PUBLIC PLACE?
IS IT FOOLISH TO WANT YOU IN MY FACE?
IS IT FOOLISH TO WANT TO SPEND MY LIFE WITH YOU
OR RATHER FOOLISH BECAUSE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO
DOES IT MATTER THAT WE LIVE DIFFERENT LIVES
IN YOU BEING AWAY FROM ME
ONLY WASTE TIME
IS IT FOOLISH THAT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS YOU FINALLY SEE
THAT I'M THE WOMAN OF YOUR DREAMS
IS IT DENIAL
CAUSE I LOVE HARD
OR WAS IT FOOLISH FROM THE START?
DOES LIFE GO ON WITH OUT YOU IN IT
WILL I BE HAPPY WITH OUT YOU
AM I FOOLISH CAUSE I SHOULD KNOW NOW
THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE
DOESN'T MEAN IT GOES DOWN
THE WAY YOU WANT
FOOLISH I'D RATHER HAVE YOU
IN LOVE NEVER LOST
FOOLISH IS YOU
I'VE WAITED 8 YEARS FOR A LOVE LIKE YOU..
LOVES EVERY PART OF ME
I DON'T FEEL ASHAME
IS IT REAL LOVE OR IS IT MY
FLESH GETTING THE BEST OF ME
HANDS DOWN FOOLISH CAUSE YOU GO ALL THE WAY WITH ME!
WE EXPLAIN OUR EMOTIONS AS IF IT IS
AND WILL BE
BUT HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR LOVES REALITY
AM I FOOLISH CAUSE I WANT YOU
EVEN THOUGH ITS MORALLY WRONG
DOES TIME WAIT FOR ME OR YOU
OR MUST THE SHOW GO ON?
