The woman I am

Raised by strength

It is in me

Embedded

The Struggles
The Pain

So I know I have to stand strong
A Black Woman
Representing my name given to me by Mothers before me
I have huge shoes to fill

My job
To be the woman I was raised to be
My job
to raise my daughter to be the woman I have tried to be wished to be and at times failed to be

Thank you mother

You made me strong

You never gave an inch
You didn't even show love

You showed me early it is a harsh world

You never gave me kisses or hugs but you made me feel I can conquer the world

Dont feel guilty for the things you did not do

Be proud of the women I became without you

Did you say what I think you said?
Yes I am sure I heard it correct

You say I am a Ho, Stuck up or tease
Well I am  confused brother pick one surely I cannot be all of these things

You might see me walking my dog out with my girls or leaving church and oh yes I am sure your boy told you about how he and I flirt

So you think you are going to slide in and get you some P**sy?

By insulting me with childish names or showing me you the man?

No bruh.....

Slow it down
Come to me as a man
Give me a wink a smile and ask me on...

Looking for it
Praying for it
Willing to stay
Over looking the flaws the wrongs and disrespect because of the loose, unappreciative, fuck love, young girl you were
Being blind to the bullshit
Letting all his fuck ups go
Because of how you behaved in your younger years you feel you deserve this treatment
How much of your pride, self-worth, self-love, your confidence?
How much are willing to give away to a useless disrespectful nigga to prove your loyalty, sincerity and your  not that useless, loose, disrespectful chick you once were.
I see you and I hope...

The Life
The life he leads is ran in the streets
The hustle in him wont let him give in
The responsibilities, the family, the loved ones, the friends all in need
Keep this man deep in the streets
The highway is calling
A country town here and there
bitches everywhere
Niggas jealous cause they see him balling
Crazy baby mommas, police, and stick up kids
The streets can't be played with
Penitentiary chances to feed us all
The struggles he faces everyday...a lesser man would fall
Fall from the pressure from the wife and girlfriend and don't...
