Her King, His Queen.
GQ James Dec 2020
Slip them ******* to the side,
Let me rub your back,
Let me rub your thighs,
Let me rub your feet,
Baby I know you had a rough day at work,
Lemme ease your pain and ease your mind,
Lemme make you feel better.

You always taking care of everyone,
Lemme take care of you,
You deserve a break,
Relax baby I got you,
I'm yours so I'ma take care of you,
You ain't gotta do it on your own,
A man never lets his woman struggle.

You can do bad by yourself,
I'm here to help and make it easier on you,
You can lean on me and I'll hold you down,
You my queen and I'm your king,
I know you never thought you'd meet your king,
Never thought I'd meet my queen,
When you stop looking that's when it comes.
KING MEETS HIS QUEEN.

Don't feel like home.
GQ James Dec 2020
You say you want me here but so you really?
It don't feel like you want me here,
Doesn't feel like home,
Feels more like prison,
Locked in a place where I don't wanna be,
Where's the key?
I need to find my way outta here.
FEELS LIKE PRISON NOT A HOME.

Holding on to my faith.
GQ James Dec 2020
You alive but you feel dead,
Life just don't feel the same,
Can't tell if I'm coming or going,
I'm here but don't know where I'm headed.

I give the glory to God,
Holding on much as I can,
Faith is the only thing that keeps me going,
Without faith I would have nothing,
My life has taken a different turn.

Live and learn but is it my turn?
What do you expect when you take a different lane?
Something has to change,
I'm the one to blame,
I'm not igniting but I see the flames.

I'm not playing but I play the game,
The rain has become thunderstorms,
The thunderbolts have gotten stronger,
The storm much longer than expected,
Didn't see this coming,
I'm here to stay ain't no running.
HOLDING ON TO MY FAITH. THAT'S THE ONLY I HAVE.

Think twice
GQ James Jan 2021
That knife against your wrist is painful,
Them pills you overdose on causing pain,
I know you wanna end the pain,
You gotta think about what you're doing,
Think about what you're losing,
Think about who you'll be losing,
It can become confusing,
You ain't thinking at the time,
You just wanna end it all.

You're in pain but think about who you'll be hurting,
The ones you'll be leaving behind will be hurt,
That pain is painful,
Don't suffer alone but ask for help,
Never keep it to yourself,
We all need help,
No man or woman can do it their own.

Never think you're alone,
Can't be helped if no one knows you need help,
Let your cries be heard not silenced.
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO BEFORE DOING IT. NEVER KNOW WHO YOU'RE HURTING IN THE END. ASK FOR HELP NOT SUFFER IN SILENCE.

I got lost.
GQ James Feb 2021
I was looking in the wrong direction,
I got lost but my faith was found,
Without prayer and hope,
I would've drowned,
The only life guard to save me,
Was the man upstairs,
I let go all my fears and worries,
I gave to him,
And he introduced me to something,
I've never seen.
LET GO AND LET GO.

Tonight.
GQ James Dec 2020
Come in and let me take it from there,
Your body is the party tonight,
The fragrance is you,
The food is you,
The drink is you,
All I need and want tonight is you.

You asked what did you need to bring?
All you need is to bring is you,
Wardrobe is your birthday suit,
I'ma cater to you tonight,
I'ma spoil you tonight,
I'ma give you everything you want and desire.

Explore your fantasies and dreams,
Tonight is your night,
I'ma make it the best night of your life,
Let's make it last forever,
Let's keep this moment,
Stay in moment tonight,
Let's remember tonight.

I know you never had a man like me,
I'm all about you,
You deserve to be desired,
You deserve to be spoiled,
You deserve to feel wanted,
You deserve the best.
FOR THE LADIES.

Protect our people.
GQ James Nov 2020
Them kids feel so scared for their lives that they gotta carry them glocks. That's the world we live in but let's change the world. It ain't gotta be a cold world it can be global safe world. Our children feel neglected but let's make them feel protected.
Living in fear ain't the way to live. Them glocks and weapons we carry won't protect us, it will only get us killed much quicker.

Hands up and keep your hands visible, so they don't have a reason to shoot but at the end of the day they'll still shoot. They shoot to **** not to put fear.
The violence of the world is getting outta hand. We can't even count on the police. They don't serve and protect. They shoot and **** our brothers and sisters.

It's crazy when we can't even trust in the justice system. The officials that are in the charge aren't for helping the people but are for helping themselves.
That power tripping these officials of the law be on is quite amusing. If you can't make the world better, why not step aside and let someone who wants to.

No More Existence.
GQ James Jun 2021
For so long I was upset about it,
As of a few days ago no more existence,
I feel no ways about it,
For so long I felt it inside,
But I didn't wanna believe it,
Now I see it was true all along.

Sometimes we can't help but try to see the good,
But in the end we see their was never any good,
Don't hide from the truth but face it,
Hiding behind those lies only prolong the pain,
I know it's hard to face but it's necessary to face,
That pain never goes away,
It only gets easier to cope with.

I no longer feel anything in my heart,
Losing everything does that to you,
I have nothing to lose or live for,
Some would say different,
But they don't even know my pain,
Nobody can relate or feel what I've felt,
In this cold world I feel like I'm all by myself.

Them thoughts get darker than you can imagine,
Sometimes I just wanna escape it,
But I don't have the courage to make that choice,
Many think it's easy to do it but it's really not,
We all have our own reasons for doing what we do,
They think they know but they really don't.

They be like "talk to me" but what's the point,
You can't help me with this pain I'm feeling,
Only god can provide me with the healing,
In the room staring at the ceiling,
Some days I don't know how I'm feeling,
This depression gets the best of me,
I don't know rather I'm coming or going.

Things change.
GQ James Nov 2020
At one point you were all I wanted,
Now all I want is distance,
The lessons I learned being away changed my life,
Life just ain't the same anymore,
Can't expect things to stay the same,
As we get older things change,
We change as individuals,
We want different things.

What you once wanted you grow tired of it,
The back and forth just ain't what I want,
The past is just that the past,
The person you once knew is now dead,
I didn't like who I was becoming,
So I made the changes to become better,
Can't be better if we don't become better.

I can do bad all by myself don't need help with that,
The distance has brought me different things,
Life has taught me more than expected,
So many different lessons,
I made my many mistakes,
Caused lots of pain onto others,
I was young and I had no cares,
Now that I'm older I appreciate others more,
Never take what's in front of you for granted.

The mistakes we make in our past,
Come to haunt us in our future,
The past mistakes never go away,
They create bigger issues for us later,
Nothing we do is forgotten,
Karma sneaks up on us,
You'll never see her coming.

It's my time to shine.
GQ James Dec 2020
I took the shot and it was nothing but net,
Life is a gamble so let's take a risk,
Can't have nothing without risking it all,
Them L's I'm taking will give me the bigger win,
I see the future not worrying about the past,
Life is a game so let the best man win.

How you expect to win if you don't play?
The moment we start living and stop dreaming,
Is the moment we starting making a difference,
The fear of taking risks is what holds us back,
I sat back doing nothing for too long,
Now I'm getting into the game.

I'm the main attraction y'all just small time,
If you want something big,
You gotta stop thinking so small,
Life ain't gonna live itself,
Wanna a different life then live differently,
My life is on the uprise,
I'm done living for everyone else,
It's my time so I'm living for myself.

Don't apologize for making yourself better,
Not everyone will want the best for you,
If you can't support me then I don't need you,
All the hate you bringing ain't hurting me,
The hate brings me more motivation then frustration,
If you ain't doing something right they would be silent,
Obviously I'm doing everything right,
My name stay in they mouth,
Keep talking and I'm gonna keep shining.
LIVE YOUR LIFE NOT LIFE FOR THEM. WE ONLY HAVE 1 LIFE, SO MAKE YOURS COUNT.

How can you love me?
GQ James Dec 2020
How can you love me but all you do is hurt me?
How can you care about me but hurt me easily?
Is it that easy to hurt someone you love?
Love and pain can't be in the same place,
If all you do is hurt me,
Then obviously you don't love me,
All I am to you is a possession.

The constant back and fourth,
The constant disrespect,
The constant insecurities says it all,
Stop trying to convince yourself,
Just face the truth and give up the lies.
LOVE AND PAIN CAN'T BE IN THE SAME PLACE. IF YOU LOVE ME, WHY DO YOU HURT ME?

Weather this storm.
GQ James Dec 2020
I didn't give up and I never will give up,
Life has been throwing stones at me all my life,
Them stones don't do nothing but bounce off me,
The tests we are faced either make us or break us,
Choice your own fate,
Don't allow anyone else to choose your fate,
The struggles will always be there,
You can overcome the struggle,
You can weather the storm,
Make sure you bring your umbrella.

First it starts to sprinkle,
Then it begins to drizzle,
Shortly after it begins to rain,
After that it begins to storm,
There's nothing that can stop this storm except you.
THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN WEATHER THE STORM IS YOU.

The ugly truth.
GQ James Jan 2021
If y'all have something to say about me,
Say to me and not to her,
Always knew this would happen,
I ain't even mad but I'm very amused,
Life has a funny way of showing you things,
I see everything clearly,
All that hiding and pretending has been revealed,
The truth has come to the light,
You can hide in the dark for so long.

The lies that were told are so amusing,
The jokes on you not me,
If you only knew but too bad you don't,
Mama ain't raise no fool,
Watch what you say and what you ask for,
Life gets real different faster than you think.

The family just ain't **** that's not your fault,
Distance yourself from them,
They holding you back from your better self,
We gotta love our families from a distance,
Not everyone is meant to be in our lives,
Don't ever feel bad for living for you,
You come first over others.
YOU CAN'T PRETEND FOREVER THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES TO THE LIGHT.

Falling apart.
GQ James Dec 2020
Never thought I'd feel this way but I do,
I can feel the tears but that ain't coming out,
I'm crying inside,
This feeling is more painful than words can say,
The depression feels so real,
Life was so simple months ago,
Now everything is upside down.

I feel like I'm falling apart,
Where do I start to pick up the pieces?
My life has been shattered into pieces,
Nothing feels the same,
I made this choice,
I'll take the blame,
Something has to change.

The rainy days has became stormy nights,
Fight after fight,
Drama night after night,
The pain has deepened,
I feel like my heart has been torn from my chest,
In this life what's left,
Ever feel alive but inside you feel dead?
LIFE HAS FALLEN APART.

Channel your EMOTIONS.
GQ James Dec 2020
All that pettiness doesn't upset me,
Honestly it amuses me more than anything,
Words don't do nothing but give me humor,
People always talk **** about you,
It don't matter what you think of me,
The only thing that matters is what I think of me.

You're only talking **** about me,
Because you're not happy with yourself,
Life only gets better when we become better,
Make better choices not the same ole ones,
I don't react but I sit back and see the truth,
Emotions are unavailable,
Emotions are dangerous,
Emotional attachments get the best of you.

Stop allowing your emotions to control,
Control your emotions not let them control you,
Can't tell you how to feel,
But the way you deal with everything ain't cool,
Channel your emotions better,
The way you deal with your pain is unhealthy,
Being pain doesn't make you have to hurt others.

We bring the pain onto ourselves with our choices,
Not all the choices we make are the right ones,
What we think is right isn't always right,
The empathy of life is very important,
You gotta see things from every way,
Can't just see things our way,
That would be unrealistic.
CHANNEL YOUR EMOTIONS IN A HEALTHY WAY NOT AN UNHEALTHY WAY.

Eyes see all through you.
GQ James Dec 2020
I seen the spark in your eyes,
I took notice of the passion inside your heart,
I took notice of the love you show,
I took notice of the care you show,
Stop hiding how you truly feel and just show it,
Life is too short to hide your feelings.

I see more than you realize,
My eyes looked into your eyes,
My eyes saw you,
My eyes seen the realness,
What's true can't be hidden well as you think,
The lies are more obvious.

I can see you and through you,
You can't hide from me,
I see it all but nobody else can see you,
The ones you want to see will see you,
The ones who don't truly know you won't see you,
Them eyes are always on you but all through you.
YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THE ONES WHO TRULY KNOW YOU.

Sex and emotions.
GQ James Dec 2020
Why is it so many put so much importance on ***?
*** is ***. Making love is making love. Fcking is Fcking. Don't make more of it than what it is.
The emotional attachments that many associate with *** is something I'll never understand. For some reason *** is emotional for the female species.

Laying down with a man doesn't have to mean more than just that. If y'all are connected and bonding with one another I can understand the emotional attachments. Sometimes you just have casual encounters. Separate your emotions from the ****** encounters we experience. Not everyone is emotionally involved, some are just looking for a night of pleasure.

A man and a woman share pleasure but sometimes they share more. The connections can become deeper than just *** if you allow yourself to feel.
Many keep their guards up but the right one can allow you to feel safe to let your guard down.

Don't play with anyone's emotions, because it never ends well when emotions are involved. Emotions can be lethal depending on how deep you're involved. Meaningless affairs can get ugly when they were suppose to be simply and fun. That's what happens when emotions get involved. Playing with someone's emotions for your own benefit just ain't right.
EMOTIONS ARE FATAL.

Private thoughts.
GQ James Dec 2020
I ain't worried about what you saying to me,
It's more about what you ain't saying,
Those private thoughts are the most dangerous,
Be mindful of those private thoughts,
Never know what one is truly thinking,
What they saying ain't what they really think of you,
You can't trust others when it comes to the truth,
But them lies can give you comfort.

Don't cuddle with them lies too close,
Lies aren't true so don't get comfortable,
Just because it feels good,
That don't mean it's good for you,
What feels good ain't good for you,
I rather you hurt me with the truth,
Than comforting me with your lies.
DON'T TRUST WHAT THEY SAYING. THEIR PRIVATE THOUGHTS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS.

Matrimony has ended.
GQ James Nov 2020
The silence says more than you can ever realize.
You caught me by surprise and hurt by them lies.
I know you couldn't see my cries but my cries were genuine as my love was. Loving you has never been easy but has been painful. The pain drowns what could be a beautiful love. The toxicity has blurred the place of love.

Don't get me wrong the times shared are something that I'll never trade but memories fade. Love will forever be inside me but won't be the same as nothing ever will be. We both had a hand in the conclusions of what has taken place. I've forever seen the pain in your eyes but back then I was too into self.

As you get older and grow things come different for you. Growth and maturity plays a big part in our lives.
We can't expect everything to be the same, when we're aren't the same. Open your mind not keep our minds closed. Matrimony is sacred until that bond is broken. Once the trust is gone there's nothing left.

Your words spoken from anger and pain are more true than you realize. The truth comes from one in pain because they can feel it deeply inside them.
Never deny what's true to settle for something that's not meant for you. Accept what's taken place and what you're feeling and move forward.

Then show you me you hate me,
Love and hate can't occupy the same space,
Love doesn't hurt you,
Love doesn't bring you pain,
The wrong type of love does,
That toxic love does,
The wrong person will bring you pain.

Don't tell me you love me,
Love don't live here anymore,
The time has expired,
There's nothing left to be said,
Nothing left to do but to sign the papers,
Sign, sealed and delivered.
WRONG TYPE OF LOVE WILL HURT YOU.

It never been easy.
GQ James Nov 2020
I never had it easy as a child,
It ain't been any easier as a adult either,
The struggle motivates me not hold me back,.
I'm thankful that mama never sheltered us,
It made me and my siblings stronger,
Life gonna get harder before it gets easier.

No time to sit around and cry,
Pick up the pieces and fight against all odds,
Beat the odds don't let them beat you,
Prove them wrong never prove them right,
Many always second guessed me,
But that never stopped me but it pushed me.

Keep doubting me and I'll show you otherwise,
If nobody believes you make a believer outta them,
I been destined for greatness since birth,
Mama always believed me,
That's all the support I need,
Everyone ain't gonna always want to see you win,
Doesn't matter long as you believe in yourself.

They will always see the bad,
But won't ever acknowledge the good,
Hate comes easier than the love,
Why I don't know but that's just the world we live in,
Don't ponder on the hate but embrace the love.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK...
GQ James Jun 2021
The one I learned a long time ago,
You can't change anyone,
Don't bother even trying,
You'll be wasting your time,
I don't even engage into it honestly,
I just live my life accordingly.

Behavior tells it all,
Them words don't do nothing but finesse,
Don't fall for those words,
Watch those behavioral patterns and actions,
That's where the truth resides.

Words don't have any meaning,
Actions have all the meaning you need,
Words are smooth and they sound good,
But those actions don't always feel as good.

Many will tell you what they think you wanna hear,
Truth is half the time it's not what you wanna hear,
I wanna hear and see what's true,
Not what's bullsh*t,
Don't gas me up and feed me lies,
Just give it to me straight and raw.
LIES COME EASILY OFF THE TONGUE BUT TRUTH COMES EVEN EASIER IN THEM ACTIONS. YA FEEL ME?

The beauty ranges from your eyes,
To your lips, to your thighs, to your legs,
To the color of your skin. When I look at you I see many things not just one thing.
We have had friendship, companionship, marriage.
We had ups and downs,
Smiles and frowns,
Sweat and tears,
Losing you was never easy,
But loving you meant I had to let you go,
My love for goes beyond what I can show,
It wasn't the easiest love,
But it was our love.

All the women never meant anything to me,
You meant everything to me,
I cared, loved and adored you,
I only gave them pleasure,
I gave you something irreplaceable, my heart.
Things could've turned out better,
But I don't regret nothing,
It was all done the way it needed to be done.

No rings on our fingers but we're forever bonded,
Papers or no papers still be my only wife,
My heart will forever reign in your heart,
Moving on doesn't mean you're see forgotten,
Just means I care enough to save our hearts,

No need to cause each other anymore pain,
Love you enough to let you be happy without me.

I have nothing left,
I rather be in a box struggling,
Than to be in a mansion suffering,
The glitter and glamour ain't always so nice,
The nicest things come with a painful price.

Don't be fooled by the gifts and money,
The free things come with a bigger price,
Mama ain't raise no fool,
I tried to see something that didn't even exist,
I finally see the clear picture,
Everything has become quite transparent.

I thought their was a ounce of goodness left,
I can see that's not the case,
We try to convince ourselves of something,
Even when we deep down know the truth,
For the first time I see it all vividly,
Ain't nothing to say the actions say it all,
Ain't mad I'm amused and not even surprised.

Same ole habits and behavior,
No matter how much time passes,
Nothing will ever change with you,
You are who you are,

Where do I go from here?
What do I need to do?
Why now?
Does depression run in my family?
Things were feeling better,
And then I got woken up with these thoughts,
It's getting worse not better.
