Keep listening to them?
Then when he/she is gone.
And they are wrong?
Who are you going to blame for driving your love away?

Keep believing them?
Rhen what are you gonna do?
When every word spoken wasn't truthful?

My heart.
My soul.
My lady.
To you, I give my respect.

I can't begin to describe how I love you so much?
To get to church the way you have?
Only show me, you're a forever determine person.

My heart.
My soul.
My life.
Even in God's eyes, you're a special angel.

Bloodline gone
Still, I stand alone

Sure, I have birth seed
Except they didn't grow up with me

It's hard
When I got to sit and recall your birth, your death?
Then all obstacles serve a purpose.

So I stand alone

I used the B-word upon my lady.
When I referred to her as my baby?

I used it directly.
When I called her bold, bad, and beautiful?

She is the best thing in my life.
Her brilliance is my highlight.

All because.
All because she's my beloved.

So many bees I could say about her.
But more than anything I won't disrespect her.
By calling her that other B.

What I am?
Is who I am?
And you might never understand me.
But I understand myself.

I seek what I like?
And want what I seek?
You might never understand me.
Except I understand myself.

I'm not a mystery with secrets to keep.

Easily to accused and play the victim.
In truth, some allegations just might be true.
But, we have been in this world of giving and getting for centuries.

Now offered for free, without a purpose to the theme.
Borrow not?
If you're not willing to offer something up?

Celebrities, only the tip of the iceberg.
When in reality?
We know many have profited greatly from giving?
And then only the victim when they been used up?

As a youth, dealing with parents and you need to borrow money.
Watch the proposals thrown your way to accomplish your goal.
Cut the grass
Take the trash out and many more.
If you asking to borrow your parents' car?

So, we must be careful of taking sides because someone is accused?
For when evidence?
Is presented then we see the clues?

Here, you are behind bars?
Locked up complaining about her girl;?(your lost love)
You address all the things you've done?
Rob, stole just to impress her.
Now, when you call?
You pretend like she doesn't know you at all.

Simply case of foolish love.
You got played.
You got tricked by a few thrills.
Now, you're locked up behind the wall.
Simply, a case of foolish love.

To understand men?
You got to understand love.
Many love different, to some wrong, well to some.

Men love their cars, at the expense of their children.
Men, seek joy, at the expense of losing a loved one so dear.
Men and love have various definitions.

We just need to comprehend the principles.

But remember man is a different creature.
They still confuses the preacher.

I yearn
I dream
I imagine
It could be you
It might be you
You just never know

I write
I create
I make mistakes
It could be my fault
Then it might be yours
You just never know

Turn to him
Pray unto him
Then came Covid and suddenly folks forgot about him.

We listen highly to the preacher preach about the power of God.
But when Covid came even they didn't think highly of his almighty power?

So I ask you?
What happened to God?

Trusting him.
Relying upon him.
Where is your faith?
Many are asking this?

Some getting the shot and still die.
While others never and they still alive

Hello, joy.
Love.
Hello, peace.

The tranquility of it is everything.

Hello, life.
You're wonderful.
You're beautiful.
More than anything, you're enjoyable.

If?
We had a mansion and lost it.
Would you still love me?
In you, I don't see superficial.

If all the cars, diamond jewelry were confiscated too?
Would you still love me?
Because of you, I continue to seek certain things.

Let not, your love for me be of material things,
Genuine love leaves wonderful memories and with you here that has been achieved.

If another promise you more?
Would I see a shadow image at the front door?
Only to hear you say, you still love me.
While you close it.

Sit back and observe, and get a perspective.
We use teens' mistakes for example because we are intimidated to address adults.

Who is just a grown-up version of teenagers?
Simply doing the same thing.

Teens are lost without their phones.
Watch all adults nod their heads in agreement.
When in truth?
If you observe adults you would question that?

Many, act like it's their world and watch them boast of having the latest on the market.
And we think teenagers are the problem.

Lord, touch my heart.
Make it shine with the love you have given me.

Lord, touch my soul.
Please let me know, you see a change in me.

Lord, just be there.
Just be there, during good times and during my prayers.

Lord, be there.
During bad times to let me see things can be better.

When I'm hurting?
Be there.
When I'm happy.
Be there.
Just truly stay in my corner.

Lord, guide me.
When I go astray?

To you from me.
I wrote you a lovely note.

To you from me.
I told you humorous jokes.
To you from me.
I nervously through my shyness said I love you.

Yes, from me to you.

Like rays of the sun that radiates above.
Just seeing the look of love in your eyes embraces me more.

Hello to the hello.
Say goodbye to the goodbye and in truth it's time.

Hello to the goodbye.
Unless I change my mind.

Love's looking at you.
Sizing you up.
Only love knows if you're worthy enough.

No one or nobody has a perfect past.
So why be shocked or hurt?
When they are hit by scandals?

Oh, remove their statue.
Remove their name from the buildings.
And rightly so, some should be eradicated.

Just remember, among all the protests that you're also judging yourself.
So let review the notations and the cameras.

Did you scam someone?
But didn't get caught.
Did you abuse your spouse?
And yes, the fools intimidated to prosecute you.
Because if they have?
You are the face of a news story.

Now. if you abusing a child or violated a lover?
You deserve all the HELL coming to you.
And if you're still in college protesting and riding the waves of controversial matters of the moment.

Realize this?
Nobody has a perfect pass and yours have yet to start

Did you commit a crime?
When to court?
And got convicted rightly so for it.

Why?
Went behind bars you're complaining?

I can't get the phone?
They got rules to adhere similar to a free society that was governing you.

I miss my family.
Sound good but you miss them more, now you've been label a classic fool.

I miss my kids.
Well, really?
Then think about the episode that places you where you now serving time?

The food is not good.
Well, why should it really be?
You had better options when you were free?

Some guards/officers are mean. Similar to those friends that might have placed you there.

I never wonder.
I never doubt it.
Cause I know love, exists.
Because it exists in us.

I have seen rage.
I have seen hate.
But  I know love exists.
Because it exists within us.

Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.

When it seems to have faded?
Somehow it emerges just at the time you need it.

Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.
When it comes to unselfish love.

So never have I wonder(about it)
And never have I doubt it(not once)
Cause I know love, exists.
Because it exists in us.

Each second, each minute, each hour.

In need of hugs.
In need of love.
Just to be told, you're overqualified.

Then, if I give up?
I will be told I'm not trying enough.

So I apply more.
Well, until I'm the lucky one.

Because, you can't be overqualified to love.

You be the sun.
Radiating with warmth.

I be the moon.
Filled, with hints of romance.

We, float around on the airwaves to romance.
Without, even a moment of a thought, we break into a lovely dance.

Like, we are in a hypnotic trance.

So, you upset?
Yes, by something I said.
It's my opinion and nothing more.

Okay, it might be about race.
Might have been a ****** comment.
But daily, we hear comments about presidents.

When?
It gets to the point where I must bite my tongue.
I guess we are becoming a country that deletes freedom from some.

Whew-of things to eventually come.

You heard, what Kelly did?
You heard, what Cosby has done.
Even, Epstein myth, truth allegations, we quick to speak,

But when it comes to negative against us?
We want to run and hide our heads.
Because we all have something hidden in the shadows.

Some are myths.
Some, are allegations.
Then some are true.

Watch, who you talk about?
And especially to who?

Bad, as you are(And you are)
My eyes only see the good in you.
Just what you could be?

You adapted to this bad behavior mentality.
A cover to hide the love within you I see.
But every, now and then it comes our loving to me.

So
Bad, as you are.
My eyes only see the good in you.
And just what you can truly be?

I'm not offering you any type of sympathy.
Far from it, when it comes to me?

But I can't see the bad side that you push forth.
Because if I relent?
My love for you would fade.

What love?
Doesn't deserve to be shared?
What love?
What love?

Especially, with that special someone.

What heart?
Doesn't need to be comfortable?
What heart?
What heart?

Especially, when it has been offered to love?

Are they racist?
Or intimidated of their own.
For, they intimidated by BLM groups.

And they hadn't created harm to anyone.

Same, with the Black Panthers of decades past.

Figure that?

Those of their own hiding in sheets.
History books and movies don't do them justice.
But anything strong and black they are quick to protest.

Figure that?

Parole?
Back into society, you are released.
A chance is given to try again.
Some strive and succeed.

Then, again?
Freedom, some just not ready for.
Because the prison path is the road they returning to.

Men, into women after serving time around men.
Would make ever effort not to return to them.

Your music changed the perspective of music society.
A revolution of days of tripping that had many holding hands.
Imagine, all the people enjoying the music you left.

Of course, you were a Beatle and not completely by yourself.
You and your cohorts reached out and sung a beautiful song called help.

Least, with you not here?
We still have yesterday to recall.

Rare, I say hardly.
There are many others with felonies charges.
Yes, many black males not making their names, within the system.

Oh, not no business executive.
But, one hard dependable worker.
Yes, one of many black males.

Not that, any of us are better than those that travel through the system constantly.
We had a goal to accomplish and one being avoiding prison.

It's easy to join and easier to avoid.
But hard to get out even if you're innocent.
So I walk with pride and highly so.

One black male, or one of many not out seeking trouble.

A bigot sees color.
But truly the wrong ones.

Electric bills take money.
Water services take money.
Rent takes money.

Even, if paying taxes for a property takes money.

But a bigot sees all the wrong colors.

Then, in truth, they concern, with their friends' opinions.
Some, simply can't handle the pressure of being an individual.

Who remembers that thick black skillet?
Almost worse than a hammer.
Heavy duty but reliable.

Unlike, these pots and pans that burn easier today.
That black skillet stood out in various ways.

Everybody, but you.
We sit, we listen, and we judge.
Yes, we do.
I'm only telling the truth.

The leader of the flock gives their opinion on political this and that.
Yes, they crying loudly under the attack.

But hide behind those infamous words?
You should never put your mouth upon leaders of the church.

But just because they speak?
That doesn't mean, we all agree.
Sure, some nod their heads.

But it doesn't mean, they are on board.

We listen.
We sit.
We judge.
Except, we are aware of those famous words judge not if you can't be judged.

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Well, what about the cherry?
Not everybody t like strawberry.

Some, like blueberry for their meals.
Some like various fruits to seal the deal.
So personal choice depends on the source.

Love, we see it.
We, who seeks it?
Would like to enjoy it.

But, are you qualified?
Love takes effort to make it a purpose.
So, are you qualified to be in love?

We know folks on the job not qualified for that position.
More likely got it through a close connection.

Then, there you skilled with love thrills.
Only seeking something or someone real.

But the question remains?
Are you qualified?

You, ask, who I love?
I say you.
Very proud too.

You, ask to state the truth.
I say you.
Very proud too.

The beam of love still shines within my eyes.
And not once will I ever apologize.

Oh, you said I should leave you because of your sickness.
But our vows said for better or worse.
I'm forever your glue.
Besides, I'm stuck on you.

Don't use the movies to try to make yourself, the perfect man?
Eventually, you come to the realization, they only playing apart.

And in facts and truth, even your perfect man will have faults.

Too many of you want a Gere or Denzel type.
Like, you comprehend everything nice about their lives.

A perfect man falls under the word image.
Then don't most of us?
Presenting a pretense to those, we are trying to win to love.

You build me up and made me stronger.
Stood by me through various trouble.
So no, I'm not leaving you for another.
That's for fools

What ring?
Did Adam give Eve?
Or is it just imaginary conceived?

No, don't take this as blasphemy?
Because we hear how many preach about that ring?

You first?
I'm second.
And together we have said I do.

I hope I don't regret marrying you.
Let the love begin.

There is a game that takes two.
I wanna play this game with you.

It can keep you warm and it can create various friction.
I wanna play this game with you.

Like, many adults do.

It can be played during the day.
It can be p[laid better at night.
And it truly doesn't need any lights.

There is this game that takes two.
But others can be added to the mix.
But in my case, I don't want this.

I just wanna play this game with you.

A little touch and go.
To make our feelings shown.

A few kisses here.
And plenty of hugs while near.
I just wanna play this game with you.

How?
Does a poem offend?
When they simply written words?

Maybe the message hit home.
Made you face things done wrong?
Or you didn't do right?

In life, there are two sides to a tale.
So if written words offended you?
Then sensitive you must be.

Hell, is a reality.
Even if in this modern times you only hear about prosperity?

Allegations and accusations, flying through the air.
And it always seems to fall upon a man.
Whether a high playing executive or an entertainer or athlete.

And most likely, those famous words appear.
And it's gonna fall upon men.
A mistress isn't made to be one.
It's a choice.

And most likely money accomplished this.
Bills got paid, many ladies in the shadows forget this.

Actresses accuse too.
And edit down the charms flirtation, they applied to get the part.
No one makes you get up on the casting couch for a part.
Sure, maybe an offer was supplied.
But any wise adult operates on a common-sense mind.

Women, in scriptures, created their own mess too.
One gave her man permission to step out freely.
Oh, by the way, her name was Sarah and we know of her regrets.

Another was simply manipulated by the serpent.
But in this world of two genders and one gets caught up more.
It's the man's fault.

And many are the blame.
But in the world of adulthood, it takes two to play the game.
But when trouble is exposed just one gets the majority of the blame.

She can't take my heart.
It belongs to you.
You think I see you as a fool.

But think?
And look deep within.
See the things I do for us two.

So she can't take my heart.
It is reserved for you.
I think you think I am a fool too.

But try to recall?
How I protect us two?

The revelation lies in honesty and truth.
And it those two I'm trying to leave within you.

See me.
See my love.
Accept that you always be number one.

Love takes great participation to be a great sensation to share.
To share.
To share, you know how much I care.

Love is one fantastic creation shared through various nations.
With tender care.
Yes, tender care.
Made to keep many together.

And without love.
We have an empty feeling(empty feeling).
Yes, without love.
We are seeking attention.

So love takes great participation to be a great sensation to share.
To share.
You're aware of how much I care.

But without love.
We be having an empty feeling.

Loving
Enduring
Intriguing
This journey, we are about to go through.

Let me take you into the love zone.
Let me hear you sigh and even moan.
As the music in the background continues on.

Lost in the moment, we will be on.
With none of our phones turned on.

So let me take you into the love zone?
Let me feel the joy we both are on.

In the love zone.
Yes, in the love.
As the music plays on.

The question seems to be, Am I right for you?
I hear the rumors, baby.
Am I right for you?

I'm not abusive.
Or even cruel?
I see the off-handed looks when I am with you?

So Am I right for you?
The question seems to be.
Am I right for you?
Only you can tell me, lady.

Some think those church types are the right type.
But many of them are out doing all types of sin through the night.

Some under this pretense that those with.
Are better than us without.
But it is just not true.

Yes, it is just not true.

Still, I wonder?
Am I right for you?

Worry not, about my love for you.
You a part of my heart and soul to the end.
And more than anything, you are my very best friend.

Worry not, If I love you so?
I adapted to loving you more and more.
More than ever before.

Worry not, If you still desired by me?
Just look in my eyes and it tells you everything you need.
Because loving you isn't a hidden mystery.

Why are you always smiling?
Why not?
Why be sad if still breathing this free air?

Why are you happy?
Why not be?
This world is filled with many sad people.

I chose not to be.
My life has been pure joy to me.

Why?
Do others see gloom?
Similar to many complaints about the rain.

Eventually, gloom and storm fade.
And sadness will turn into a smile.

So this is why?
You always see me, with a smile.
