No one will ever quite comprehend the fact that I love with the kind of love that says...
Fuck that!
Fuck them!
And fuck what you say!
Because I still love you anyway
Despite your inability to see past your insecurity to get to your self-worth
Impartial to what you think you might know or what you choose to speculate
I love you
and you have no control over that
and that scares you and you hate that
The fact that I won't allow you to use love as an excuse to be a pussy
The fact that I see right through all your bullshit
And now you have nothing left to hide behind
The fact that for that same reason I'll kill a bitch over you and that kind of power
Makes you doubt your ability to succeed
Because who would do that for little ole you right
Woe is me huh?
Naw nigga that's a cop out
To everybody else it's crazy
To be able to forgive
To not pass judgement
To not hold any resentments
It's even considered as being "weak"
When has fighting for what you believe in ever been a liability?
Because that's where the real work commences
Who are you to try to convince me to abandon my moral values?
Just because for once you bear witness to true loyalty
and you're afraid because you've never actually seen it done before
Well you've never met me!
You say it's wrong
And although that just may be your experience which you're entitled to because after all it's your testimony
But guess what?
It's right for me it makes perfect sense to me
All that other stuff just equates to a personal problem
that I care not to be associated with.
That's accomplishment
Acknowledge my achievement
Fear doesn't prosper here! Ever!
Allow me the privilege of doing what makes me happy.
Please and thank you
Aren't our people slaves enough to this society!
Don't take away my ability to make myself feel good
Because that's my incentive
Just because it's different
It's not your cup of tea
It's bad?
By whose standards and why?
I get to love you
Precisely because I can
Precisely because I do, and I will
and it does something to me
that makes me want to stay around and do all that I can to get more and keep it forever and project onto other people
if allowed
and that's a huge risk yes!
Some frequent to say stupid but I'm willing to do the unthinkable for that
I want to create my own fairytale
It's worth it to me nothing after that matters really.
Yup it's just that simple.
And you have the audacity to shame me?!
How dare you water down my love?!
The same love of my God
Don't discredit me or dismiss my hard labor
Just because you don't know what a foundation is supposed to look like.
I'm not supposed to come perfect and shiny brand new in a bright red bow
Because you know life and you know this world and what it's done to people like us, I'm damaged, beat down, tattered, worn down, old used up bitter cold desperate defensive screaming for help because it's only so long that you can ignore this war cry
But I can manage to pull myself together enough to give you what you need to survive while I die undernourished neglected forgotten about overlooked used up underappreciated
People don't get me their disingenuous ways cloud their judgement and I'm the fool because I make it a personal choice to put myself last in hopes that you'll use what little bit I gave you to save a life
And maybe that's not for you to get
Even if I am the only one that knows black love aint at the back of my cervix
I don’t know why you keep tryna find it there with your dick leading the way.
I'm content with what I know and who I am.
Who doesn't like a lost cause?
Lean not on your own understanding.
Fuck that!
Fuck them!
And fuck what you say!
Because I still love you anyway
Despite your inability to see past your insecurity to get to your self-worth
Impartial to what you think you might know or what you choose to speculate
I love you
