They like our music.
They like our wear.
Oh, yes, we are so different than them.

They like our style totally true.
They like the way we tell you off.
When in truth we shouldn't have too

They like our strength.
Yes, we a strong culture.
All things throw at us.
We just pull through.

But black culture always does.

They like our hair style.
Even, if they deny it.
We won't buy it.

They just adore our creations.
Our music rules the world to certain extent.
Think of the royalties owed to many.

If they own just a part of it.
There was some crookedness involved within it.

Something about black culture they attracted too.
The things we say and do they want to do.

I told a secret, and it stayed that way
Many ask to who?
And I say God because I knew it wouldn't go any further.

There's no one on earth I tell anything too.
Because folks always tempted to spread your news.
And when confronted they blame you.

But when speaking to the Lord it's with confidence.
Because he exactly knows what bothering you.

When asked?
What the greatest gift you received?
Say, knowing Christ.

When asked why?
Explain your reasoning without regrets.
Obviously, if honest?
He has saved us out of a lot of mess.

This many can confess to this gift.

When in a hole and hurting?
Good things have come to many.
The gift must be recognized.

And folks there is no reason to apologize.

If, you get no gifts?
Or a gift to give.
Give them your love.
It free and more remembered.

If you have that it's the better present to have.

If you wish for something?
And fail to materialize.
Give them your love.
It will be the greatest surprise.

God gifted us with the greatest gift.
And it been many, many decades since.
And that present represented throughout the universe.

So, give them your love.
Because it's the best present to have.
It's loving.
It's caring.
It's unselfish and free.

And if accepted freely it make many, many happier.

If a man cry?
If you his woman comfort him?
The strongest of them do shed tears.

Sure, others put up a front of pretense.
But there's nothing weak about shedding tears.
Could be over a child.
Could be over a spouse or a parent.
Or whatever circumstances.

If a man cry?
Comfort him.
For memories brings pain to your eyes.

Adults, seems to get it wrong least about Christmas.
Many very aware Christ is the key to the season.
But to a child the joy of smiling about receiving gifts just what they been told.

Jesus, not worry about sharing that day.
It seems to be the grownups
Who seems steam?

But forget about seeing a child face with a gleam.
After all Christ birth was miraculous.
Like after three days he rose for all of us.

So, let the joy of the world be about Christ.
And the gift of love he bestowed in all of us.

Because Jesus not worry about sharing.
It's just the adults that do the most complaining.

Diddy, Diddy you better call Trump because he made the justice system looks like punks.
He did bad things and simply got a slap on the hand.

Diddy, Diddy in prison you bet not go by puff.
Just might be a few tougher guys that make you huff.

Diddy, Diddy, live and learn that money can't protect you from wrong you done.
But the guilt, now in other hands to decide.
But remember all the wrong you done and still hadn't offered to apologize.

Dedicated to the end.
Unselfish just for the way she shares her man.
Undying support at all levels.

Sure, we know more about him.
Except she stays within his shadow.
But we are very much aware he calls her Madam Claus.

Kind, sweet and unwavering with love.
Pretty much reminds many that she like our very own mother.

Mrs. Santa Claus, a woman Santa knows is within his corner.
In truth, she the chief executive of the toys department.
Comfortable within her own skin.

All the elves answer to her and honestly not her man.

Except for the lord your lady should be second to none.
She should in your eyes, heart, soul and mind know she is number one.

And you treat her that way.
And not afraid to tell anyone why.
Probably few of many that has seen you cry.

Some men find a diamond.
Some men find a pearl.
Some just find that royal gem that truly cherish him.

Some men go the distance.
Some goes even further than that.
Some men hold his jewel high at all times.

Any request she seeks or ask.
He goes out to fulfill without any questions
For he is very aware of what she has done for him.

She a rarity upon this earth.

I tried it.
I like it.
Couldn't avoid it.
I just had to explore it.
Because it made me curious.

Just trying it made me delirious.
Yes, I am serious.
Because love is dangerous.

If you can't handle it.
But if you think you can.
Just try it.
It just might get you hooked.
Yes, love will do it.

When you look back at segregation?
You find a mind of a fool that based decisions upon race?
Within various section of a racist society, you question things.

When anyone of color visit a place for food?
They mostly were denied services showing the minds of a fool.

Who didn't see truth?
Electricity bills require money.
Rental spaces required money
Water bills require money, and at the end of the day it has nothing to do with color of a person skin.

Because the color that control things simply was green.

Not sad.
Not mad.
Really glad this came to an end.

Not upset.
Just can't be.
For a while you been bugging me.

So, sign the papers.
Whew, a big relieve because for months you been killing me spiritually.

So, I embrace your hands signing on that line.
Just to hear many say, it's about time.

Maybe, my kisses sweet.
Maybe, my kisses warm.
But you should expect this from a man of love.
Expect this.

Maybe, my hugs are tight.
Maybe, my hugs just right.
Maybe, you feel them more at certain time of nights.
But you are dealing with a man of love.

Maybe I am more expressive than anyone you ever known.
I offer no apologies.
Maybe I bring more to romance than you ever experienced.
But you should expect this from a man of love.

There will be reasons your smile.
There will be reason to fantasize.
But expect this from a man of love.
Expect this.

I been chasing--chasing you.
Travel many roads to get closer.
And just when I think I am near.
You have disappeared.

I been running--chasing you.
And if you are honest you would admit to this truth.
And just when within inches you have vanished again.

Just know---just know.
I can't stop now trying to bring you back.
Cause more than anyone you had my back.

Yes, I could count on you.
When up, when down.
When I needed a true friend around.

And I can't stop now--can't stop.
Trying to bring you back into my life.

Can't stop
Can't stop
Can't stop now.
Cause I want you around.

When up.
When down.

Give me my truck.
Give me my farm.
Give me my woman with those warming arms.
And I'll be happy.

Give me my music.
Let it sink down in my soul.
But it can only be the legends of old.
None of this rock and roll pretense.
And I be happy.

I just want to be free to be me.
And you will see a country boy with charm.
Not out to cause anybody any harm.
And I be happy.

Love is surrounding me, even confusing me.
But it has made me so very happy.

Love is controlling me, yes even captured me.
And it is holding me hostage.

I have heard so much about it.
But never once thought it could affect me.
But it has made me so very happy.

Yes, happy in love.
Yes, happy in love.
From that first moment of affection.

When storms come from all directions?
And folks wicked opinions too.
Say, I am loved, and they are more important than you.

The embrace me with opinions.
They understand my perspective
But more than anything they are my strongest protector.

And to this them I give all my affection.
Because I am loved.

They check me, when I am wrong.
They accept me when I am right.
Our bond is tight.

So, when negativity hits your door.
Say, I am loved.
So much loved.

Before you came, love was just a dream.
One compared to things seem on the movie screen.
Where pretense is written to draw you into the mix.

And been truly in love made you the greatest actress.
And with you in my life I found total satisfaction.
As a matter of facts, I can live with you forever and ever.

Everyone imagines what they seek.
Might be a day, a month or simply a few weeks.
But before you love was just a dream.

Glad to proclaim you my love reality.

Upset?
Why?
Before you there was others that taught me.
Things you might not like or even try.
But never will I apologize.

Before you, I've done many things.
Some proud of, some might be placed a little shame.
But it was a path to better things.

Oh, I'm not an innocent victim seeking attention.
Like before you, I'm proud of somethings like I mention.

And if you can't handle the truth.
I know before me others schooled you too.

You tossed it aside and complained that you never had romance ever come your way.
But I know and can testify that I'm the one that put love within your heart.

You treated it like You was playing various games of cards.
And seeking a joker to be your pawn.
But I know, truly know, I'm the one that placed loved within your heart.

Just because you seek to play various games to have your way.
And I admit in various I accept some blame.
But I know.
Yes, I know-I'm the one that placed love within your heart.

Your love has pull me in like, we were in a tug of war.
More you pull me, the more I fell in love.
And wasn't intimidated by any other competitor.

You could push me but never would have succeeded.
All because I would feel you're trying to control me.

But your love has pull me into a world that's unknown.
I must refine it more than ever before.
So, pull me in.
Just pull me in.

I heard about you.
Songs written about you and yes, even poems too.
So, what I'm saying, now?
Hello love, what so special about you?

So, you're caring.
Maybe it's just an act.
So, you are loving?
Least, that's what I have been told.
Even, that you have feelings.
Now, that was very revealing.

Then, there is that other side too.
You're heartbreaking.
Leaving many hearts just aching.

So, again I ask you.
What so special about love?
If you can convince me, you are sincere.
Then I just might take a chance on falling in love.

We know him.
We know him well.
Yes, one good man.

He deserves the credit that due him
He did her to raise him.
When he could have left both of them.

With a heart of unselfishness he took upon this woman with a child.
And bravely protected them.
Yes, one good man a total footnote in scriptures.

But in truth of reality, we never hear any negative about him.
Because he was one good man.

And just maybe Christ adapted some of his qualities from him.

Many times, we let love skip us by.
Afraid to even give it a try.
Like a hitchhiker seeking a ride.
Praying that someone will pass them by.

Come my way and see a love that's true.
Just here a waiting just for you.

Sometimes, you just refuse to see love standing before you.
Just give an excuse after an excuse.
Just come my way, I have this joy of happiness before you
Just come my way.

Someone, seeking love.
Praying for it.
Hoping for it.

Someone seeking hugs.
Hoping for it.
Praying for it.

Patiently, they wait.

Someone seeking to love someone.
Praying for it.
Hoping for it.

Someone is seeking romance.
Someone to dance with
Hoping for it.
Praying for it.

Patiently, they wait.
Until that person comes their way.

Why run away from something freely given?
Embrace the love offered to you.
Why shame the one that loves you unselfishly?
Embrace the love without complaints.

Even, if it were perfect?
You find something to say.
That's just the way human nature operates.

Embrace the joy--that love gives.
Embrace the happiness-as long as you breathing.
God gave it to the world for a reason.

Shocked, why?
That's the life of a billionaire.
Only one acting hurt is the spouse.

Money attracts attention from plenty and that mostly money chasing women.

Shocked, why?
Because he gets exposed to the public by a lover.
Act like this isn't new.

It just gets more attention in the media.
Back decades ago, society hid in conservative fear.
Paid many off to keep the news hidden.

Shocked why?
Many wealthy women know their guy.
It'd like a marry traveling minister.
Somewhere, a women getting his attention.

He's just using religious principles to hide.

I call your name, constantly
I call your name, in need of you
I'm blessed to know you.

You been crown King and rightly so.
No other deserves to sit upon the throne.
And I'm blessed to know you.

You have picked many up when down.
Turned many illnesses around.
When others put you down.
I'm blessed to know you.

You don't push yourself upon others.
While others do.
Because within time they be coming to you.
And I'm blessed to know you.
Now, and forever, forever more.

He is talked about daily.
In fact, 365 days of the year.
So, why during a certain season he talked about more?

Obviously, he wouldn't be jealous.
Not him, knowing his importance to the people of the world.
This just isn't him.

Some get caught up in the month, day, he was born to talk about it worth.
Then again, isn't that just like church.
And, at best we simply guessing.

Strange things, most blame the kids because they are seeking that certain toy.
As, if adults just don't act out by the celebration of the season.

But 365 days the Lord is heard by many faiths and that's loving joy.

My happiness not centered around money.
My joy not connected to that type of wealth.
But if you ask me about myself.
I will say, I'm lucky, I'm blessed.

I'm lucky to have you.
I'm blessed to know you
I am affected by both just being in love with you.

Things, folks seek to make them smile.
Eventually will fall off, within time.
They are living with only a temporary smile.

But for myself and I am only speaking about me.
I'm lucky, I'm blessed, have survived many tests.
My strength lies in knowing I have love.

And glad like many to call you that special one.

Love came, love went and only now I know what it meant.
Joy came and joy went and now I regret not enjoying it.
Happiness came and faded too.
Still all my happiest moment concerns you.

Love, we all seek.
Joy, we all have shared.
Happiness strides in all of us.
But all just needs to be embraced.

Because all three brings a smile to our faces.
And only now I know what they meant.
We just need to work on protecting them.

Words, folks say sounds good.
But in retrospect, they only words.
Whether written or spoken.

As much as folks say it.
It's not exactly true.
It's a manipulative tool usage.

The man is the head of the household.
Sounds good.
Yes, sounds great saying it.
But in truth mom runs the house.

In other words, she the quiet boss.
Make her mad and watch it.
Watch the silence that comes within her chambers.

A man shall lead we might know well.
And many have and forever will.
But most kids seen how mom control them.

In truth between the two she a great actor.
Dad just a pretender.

I knew she wasn't no good from the get-go.
I try to tell you.
I try to tell you he was a scoundrel.

You knew he wasn't no good from the start.
I wish you would say something smart.
I'm just waiting for a reason.
Or give me a reason
Words we hear before in life.

Church always asking for money.
What?
Does the church do with the tithes and offering?

Folks must think I am a cab driver.
Always asking for a ride and not paying for the ride.

Don't be like that.
Show a little kindness.
Or you hear show a little love.

Something told me not to hire you.
I should have fired you the day I hired you.
I am giving you one more chance.
Don't mess it up.

Don't play with me.
Cause you don't know who I am.
Or don't push my button.

Honey, get your child before it's too late.
If you don't sit your*down?
You soon wish you have.

Didn't I tell you to do that earlier?
Well, why I still see the mess?

We all heard, pick your clothes up.
If you want those toys before I throw them away.
You better get them.

I knew I didn't like your friend.
I read them from the start.
I'm not surprised they locked up.

Sure, there are many more.
Stop fighting your brother/sister.
You bet no let your siblings get in a fight and don't help.

Or you face repercussion when you get home.

Finally, when we get in this store.
Don't pick up anything.
Don't ask for anything.
What?
Did I tell you?

Keep acting like you don't hear me.
You soon will.

Close that door letting the heat out.
Words, we heard before.
You got that from your mama side of the family.

You got that from your father stupid family.
****, if that's not your child.
Act just like you

Don't tell your mama you know how she is?
Don't tell your father, he makes it a bigger deal then it is.

Go tell your sister/brother come here.
At the bottom of the steps, you yell it.
To hear, I could have done that.
Yes, words we grew up on.

When you get in this church?
You better get some act right.
Or you regret it when you get home.
Test me, if you want too.

Where you been?
And don't lie or you regret it.
I give you something to talk about.
If you keep running off at the mouth.

Call the police and when they leave?
You better leave with them.
Who hadn't heard this one?

Where is my belt?
Wait till I get my belt?
Yes, words we grew up on in life.

Ask your mama.
Ask your dad.
What your mama says?

Don't make me get up.
Don't make me get up out this seat.
Words, we grew up listening too.

Speak, when spoken too.
Or remain silent.
Stay in a child place.

Until you pay some bills here.
You are just a guest.
You know where the door at.

Don't let the door hit you.
Where the mighty God split you.

You beginning to get on my nerve.
Ok, edited down from, you are getting on my last nerve.

Teachers must think money grow on trees.

Oh, there are many more to add.
But for the moment just embrace what we all have heard.

Whew, another Christmas comes, and the same theme said or repeated.
Jesus the reason for the season, great play upon words.
But we know Jesus is love and open to sharing it.

Jesus says, stay calm don't create a thunderstorm.
For, if they know him that's more important.

Jesus says, I'm unselfish that's just the way it is.
If a toy makes a boy or girl smile?
I welcome it more than love accepts hatred.

Notice, the many smiles among the parents, grandparents, and siblings and friends faces.

I didn't come to change the law but embrace it.
And if the season of my birth or close to it brings enjoyment.
I am all for it.

The narrative been stated by Malcolm X about the two version.
But centered around the house ***** and the field *****.
One living just a little better by staying submissive to orders.

Same in society today.
The liberal fights for changes to society.
The quiet conservative rides the submissive train.
Accept things as they are not seeing change just to get promoted and move along.

But their success came from the fight and stance of the liberal fighters.
We see this in medical -law enforcement-hosts of other fields.
The conservative one's only change tune when unemployment hits them.
Then they protest their treatment by those they played the game with.

But mostly find the liberal protests already read them.
Even, America wasn't founded by conservatives but fighters with various opinions.

Are we an upset world?
Or uncaring world?
Or just tired of the mess?
Or sympathy is gone?

You rob someone and suddenly shot by a gun.
Why your family crying?
When should they just accept factuality?

If you were going the right path?
Then life still be going on.
Is it wrong to feel this way?

You hurt a child and the consequences you face.
Took that smile off your faced wasn't to your liken.
Think about it?
Some justice at hands of other not kind.

Folks, just upset with courts punishment.
You sit upon death row for years comfortably.
Whether innocent or guilty not fighting for your freedom.
Then suddenly time to face the chair or injection.
Now, you are professing your innocence.

Without a single thought about the victims.

Are, we becoming an uncaring world?

Truth is, there is nobody else as beautiful as you.
Truth is, I am so glad to be loving you.
Something, all men should admit, and mist don't is having a blessing in their life.

Especially, if you an enough to make her your wife.

Truth is, there is no one to compare you too.
Or even say the word I love you too.
Truth is, I could go on just talking everything about you.

How great you are?
You a cool sweetheart.
And I think I been blessed by the love of God.

Truth is, you a super star deserving of my trust and heart.

Ask me and its yours.
If I got the power?
Ask me and its yours.
Maybe within an hour.

Any request you ask me.
I will try my best to fulfill it.
And you won't be billed for it.

Ask me and its yours.
If its within my strength?
I will give it to you.

One thing that's known about you.
Is that you don't ask for much.
You are simple and so humble.

And not impressed with money or diamond rings.
Hardly really anything that I know of to speak.

But if you ask me?
It will be yours.
You so wonderful.

So good.
So very good for me.
And I doubt if I ever told her.
But this truth must be told why I love this woman?

At my worst she sees the best in me.
She has tolerated my foolish ways.
And keep reminding me why I love her?

I honestly wouldn't trade another for her.
She a fighter and a strong determine soul.
And forever have my love to hold.

Believe me, when I say this woman deserves a whole lot more.
And I forever will, forever will protect this woman.
All because I love her more and more and more.

I know love like the clues to a mystery.
Love walked out my life with no apology.
Leaving me so unhappy.

But after a day or two.
I found someone new.
Love walked into my life and change my perspective more.

Made me realize more than I ever did before.
Erased all the pain that was lingering inside.
And just in time because I had no more tears to cry.

Love made me smile and even laughed too.
And I owe my new joy because of losing you.
And this you will never know.
Just like this hurt you once left inside.

Yes, love was meant for me.
And I say this without any apologies.
That love truly was, truly was meant for me.

History, scares many.
Why?
One group just doesn't look good down through time.
They know who they are?
And exactly why?

Banning books doesn't stop history being told.
For you must ban movies that holds truth.
And folks older as living proof.

So, what?
If your group image is seen in a negative life?
Hiding it just proves many truths.
Especially, if its deal with you as proof.

Some know their situation they created.
After all you has the power to control the narrative.
Some of you move by words.
Some of you move by money.
And many times, you become a part of baby mama drama.

As, a woman you are dealing with a man.
Many lives by physical attraction and some have eyes upon your friends.
And many learned the hard way, you can't trust them.

And soon, a few becomes like you baby drama mama.
Men, just say the phase because they just might have another baby on the way.

And cry about the amount they have to pay.

We know what you mean.
When we hear what in the freaky, fact, funk going on?
We know.
We just do.
We respect that you edited it down.

Don't make me kick the living demons out of you?
Again, unless you an idiot, we know what you meant.
We again, respect you editing it.
Especially around the children.

Although I am still trying to figure out how the tar and feathers comment got started.
That one really has me bother.

Listen to son of a biscuit eater instantly we pin that to those called SOBS and respect you more for keeping in cool.
Say it to the wrong one just might be bad news.

Even, when toss out Mother-freaking idiot?
We just like how you say it and made it sounds pretty.

I guess you can say it's all in the message.

Salute to the marry man, with a wonderful spouse.
Who accept the role of that title with lory and honor?
Not trying to create a lot of babies' mamas' drama.

Papa was a rolling stone just not linked to your name.
Dealing with one strictly your main thing.
Raising your child to the best of your ability with that spouse.

Sure, there is a few dramas because you do have a woman in the house.
And like you, if you are truthful, she has a lot of mouth.

But when folks speak about you.
A majority of it is good news.
So, salute to the marry man.
Just maybe these words deal with you.

I take your penalty rightfully.
It deserves to be acknowledged that you penalize me.
All because I chose to be happy.

Give me five, ten, fifteen yards, because your penalty deals with message within my heart.

So, penalize me for being in love.
While understanding I'm not the only one.

Tears, flowing down your face leaving many traces.
And I am aware of the cause, but you refused to listen to my warning.
But I knew it from a distance that this eventually would happen.

Somethings, we want so bad.
Not listening to any warning.
But many saw this was coming.

Lesson learned, the hard way.
Love you want that not sincere will fade.
And eventually you learn to call it a day.

When it's real?
It will be seen.
And one of those friends or kins won't say anything.

Just a lesson learned the hard way.
