Oh, another death.
Another youth killed by a gun and for what?
Bragging rights or joining a gang or simple dispute.

Oh, yeah another death.
Then comes the revenge a few be caught and like my makes become a prison of the state Penn.

When will the stupidity end?
And the ones you hate the most are the ones you putting pressure on to solve the crime.

Yes, the folks in the uniform with the badge.
Now you want them to assist you.
Tears will be shed a few ministers will offer a few kind words.

But seriously look within?
When will this stupidity end?

Forget this crap youth and fools say, "I'm not a snitch".
A ****** like any other criminal must be caught.
Or you're forever living in fear.

A mother hurt.
A father hurt.
Siblings or plainly put families stressed.

Yes, another death on the street

With Diana and Florence, you rule the charts.
With Diana and Cindy, you ruled it more.
But it's that sweet smile folks will remember more.

Like, many artists that built Motown the founder be past tense.
You the queen supreme show the world what grace meant?
You alone kept the legacy alive.

With Jean, Cindy, and Lynda Laurence you had hits.
Which made many question the company promotion attics.
Even on your very on you carried on.

Something about the south talent pool.
But it was that region that kept glamour and respect within you.
It's just the way they raised.

It's sad, so sad you headed to a better place.
Then again, it might just not be because Flo is waiting to greet you there.

Like with bravery you stood before the RRHOF and defended her not been there.
But to many fans of the group you always been special.

The Queen Supreme so very humble.

The truth is
Your world is slowly fading away.
Things that were offered and given freely to you by association.

Have you now facing truth and competition?
Segregation was once your biggest supporter.
****, only if you admit to this?

The butler, the server to you.
The chauffeur for those that had one in charge of driving you.
Then the maid in charged cleaning that house.

To those that remember this?
We cry foul when you try to advise us about our kids?
When it appears your child have more mental illness?

The truth is reality is setting in before your eyes.
Discrimination got you ahead so many of times.

Now suddenly you feel like you been wronged.
But the truth is the world is changing and you have not.

Yeah, you have been lied to.
And this what some guys do?
Whether they are married trying to get close to you?
In these cases, the spouse is the problem.
At least according to him.

But accept the truth that you have been lied to.
This just what some guys do?
Some of the best liars are actors.

Yeah, you have been lied to.
Women got this mastered better.
They are great at using one another for cover.

That sudden lunch that they have mysteriously forgotten about.
Talking on the phone with her girl about meeting up at two.
When in reality she is talking to her side dude?

Yeah, you have been lied to.
Yes, women do this too.
Some of the best liars deserve awards.

But the best reward you have taking back your love.

He works.
He calls.
He writes.
He does it all.
Yes, the man that loves you.

He humorous.
He cares.
He there for you.
When you not feeling well?
Yes, the man that loves you.

Notice, the things he does concerning both of your love.

You argue.
He resists.
You create havoc.
He avoids it.
Yes, the man that loves you.

In the eyes of your friends and family.
He just one good dude.
And you have been warned if you lose him.
You're a first-class fool.

Admit it?
You saw the pretty package and gave up your heart.
Drive right on in to be seen on his arm.
Admit it.
You fell for his charm.

But in truth, you're not the first one.
There are others like you that fall for the handsome-looking dude.

He doesn't chase women.
They chase him.
And after being manipulated and used most blame him.
But not themselves.
Admit it.
Toss a majority of blame upon yourself.

You had an opportunity will the regular guy.
But you were into an image and impressing friends and like many looked right past him.
Admit it.

The pretty package similar to a Christmas toy amazed you.
The only difference he was loving many others as their lover.
Admit it.

While facing truth and reality.
Something that's pretty is simply a tool to get over.

I will continue to love you.
Because I loved you when we had nothing.
When we were suffering?

I loved you against all odds.
When outside forces operated to tear us apart?

Like a second wife that comes along has shared in the wealth.
She wasn't like you when we only broke and had ourselves?

I love you forever.
Even if there comes a time(i hope not)?
When we are no longer together?

I loved you when others thought it was just a phase
