A GOOD MAN  (FOXXY BROWN)

He told me he was leaving me this came as a surprise!
He said “come over here; have a seat and let me tell you why.
I work two jobs to provide for us I’m doing the best I can.
You keep complaining I’m never home but, baby damn! I’m
just a man!
When we first met you were fearful, said you were damaged
from the shit your last man did. Said he left you for someone
else not giving a damn about his kids!

Perplexity took control of me he saw it on my face. He said
“wait, don’t interrupt, listen to what I have to say. I said “But
 Pookie I’m not understanding.” He continued, saying “Everyday
I leave I carry your love with me but, today I’m leaving empty handed.
You see baby girl, I didn’t just left you up; I elevated you because
that’s what real men do. But last night when you snuck out of here
guess what?... I followed you!
That’s right, I know about the other guys ya slickass nicknamed
them ALL Pookie!  They don’t know shit about love, commitment
and sacrifices, real men they will NEVER be!”
Loving you was my blessing, loving me…a game you played.
Now you’re stuck with ya broke ass Pookie’s; too bad you didn’t
upgrade!

With tears streaming down my face I said “Pookie; I mean baby
please don’t leave me! I fucked up! This is all my fought!”
While walking out the door he said “you know?  A fuck up I can
forgive…Your silly ass got caught!

The moral of the story, ladies (and some fellas) I hope you feel me on this:
A good man you fuck around on; A good man you will miss.

Foxy Brown
