Step Up

What is that definition of s real black man?

A man who defines himself by what he can do with hands and mind…

Not afraid of a challenge…

What happened to them?

Don't get me wrong they are out there…

But there are far many more niggas…

The strong black men are outnumbered…

The ignorant muthafuckas walking around shooting, robbing, and selling poison to their own…

Killing off the strong black men and women of our community…

Leaving our sweet chocolate babies to be raised by more ignorant niggas…

Thus starting a trend, a habit the can only be broken with education and support…

And love from self aware, educated, experienced strong black brothers and sisters…

Lets step up…

Who’s Responsible

Was it a mistake or fate?

That you two were brought together…

Was it love or lust?

That brought you to this position…

Was it the mental stimulation or the emotional inebriation?

That made you say what you said…

Was it the subconscious or the conscious?

That made the decision…

Was it you or him?

That started this…

Should it continue or end?

Recharge or die?

Be hit and quit or hit and missed?

Who's responsible?

Cuz now…

You can't trust him or yourself.

Loves Clock

What happens when the man or woman of your dreams comes along?

Do you panic?

Run?

Push them away?

Do you hide?

Or do you realize that they've been there all along?

That friend that no matter what happens has your back.

The one that waits when you're not ready…

But when is the right time?

When do you truly know you're ready?

If its too early you can risk losing them…

But you'll get same results if you elude them for to long…

What if you're scared and scared because of the past?

What if you're terrified the future won't last?

Am I too…

Early?

Late?

On time?

Or is the only clock that stopped ticking mine?

Pathetic

I feel pathetic

I tried building and rebuilding relationships

But I had no tools

No supplies…

Tired paving and repaving memories

Had the tar and asphalt

But no steamroller…

Tried extending my services and service hours

But no customers…

Opening up

But as my doors opened…

The other doors shut…

Feeling pathetic and rejected

I continue to live in the condemned city

It suits me…

I Love

I love someone

Someone who doesn’t love back

I love this person still

The person I love hurt me

But I hurt them as well

Mutual not so much

They lied and cheated on me

I discussed the undiscussable disregarded they’re wishes

Didn’t take heed to the caution signs

Paid no mind to the warning signals

My feelings were…

Chalked

I cared for
I care for

I love

I miss

you

The dick

Because of that one I'm insane…

Because of that one I'm in pain…

Because of that one I'm sick…

Let anyone else tell it… it was the dick…

That clouded my judgment…

The Achilles heel of all men…

I'm not one to blame the dick though…

Because the mind was interested and stimulated way before the dick was…

It wasn't the dick that caused the problem it was the mind…

But it was the heart that pumped more blood to the mind instead of the dick…

Turning a situation that should have been a hit it and quit it into a complex complication…

Creating a habit allowing history to repeat…

So I don't blame the dick…

I blame the corruption of the mind…

Would you mind?

Can I talk to you???

Tell you how I truly feel…

Open myself up to you…

Just sit and be real with you…

When I see you I smile…

When I think of you I laugh…

When I'm apart from you…

I wonder…

Would you mind if I loved you

Would you mind if I kissed you

Could you consider loving me back?

Would you mind?

Would you mind?

I think of you all day…

Communicate when I can…

Bring my thoughts to words…

Careful not to offend because…

When I see you I smile…

When I think of you I laugh…

When I'm apart from you…

I wonder…

Would you mind if I loved you

Would you mind if I kissed you

Could you consider loving me back?

Would you mind?

Would you mind?

I've had a terrible past…

But I see a beautiful future…

All I need is you…

And that future could be…

Because…

When I see you I smile…

When I think of you I laugh…

When I'm apart from you…

I wonder…

Would you mind if I loved you

Would you mind if I kissed you

Could you consider loving me back?

Would you mind?

Would you mind?
