It’s not fun
reinsuring
my position with you,
looking from my view,
when those feelings
became one sided.

It’s not fun
accepting
those false facts about how
you’ve done a full 360 change,
not realizing
you’ve fallen back into the same space.

It’s not fun
watching
you go back and forth
with your state of mind
when you simply can’t
decide on what you want.

Two good friends : JJ & B
both battling one-on-one.
A $100 bet on the line.
Who’s the better big man
on the court at the park?
Score is tied, 7-up, game point for either one.
Things get chippy down to the wire.
Trash talking, cussing,
elbows thrown, emotions high,
people commentating the sidelines.
“Game! Money time!”- is called after scoring the last bucket on JJ part.  

Until B refuses to pay.
From one man to another,
pride and ego is in the way, *** rushing the arena, causing havoc.
Brawl almost break out, one-time is called,
crowd scatters like roaches away from the sky lights as sirens flash below.
From one man to another,
lack of accountability was held from this bet.

As I sit in the car on injury duty
blowing AC in 90 degrees
reading poetry, listening to jazz music,
the youth plays 5on5.
I can’t help but
notice how fun the game
of basketball is when you don’t
take every possession seriously.
They play with full energy.
Meet new friends.
All sorts of ethnicity background
stories on one 90ft court.

Meanwhile,
I can’t shake the feeling
that I’m supposed to be
worshiping the Lord
in church tonight.

P.S.- Forgive me Father
Nights like this

I just wanna slowly apply some pressure.
I knew you were special the second we started texting.
Give me a minute, I’m about to express my confessions.
Been waiting on you, to make a move, to make this move.
Cause you…cause you… you’re mine

You’re protected under my care when you’re with me.
You submit as much as you honor me respectfully.
And when you need quality time, just call me.
Im always here for you Ms. Lady.
Ready to be next to you, just you.

When you need me, baby I got you
Deep in these feelings, I’m so inspired
Share with me your thoughts and desires
I’m just so excited
Cause I’m ready to be next to you… Just you…


Now, I just wanna make things very clear baby.
I want this to be official and not a fling baby.
Cause I’m ready to receive this ring with some kids baby.
Gifts from me to you baby.

Cause I’m ready to be next to you…
Oh na na na, woah-oahhh.

Think I already said more than enough.
So let’s make this a reality and have some fun.
Baby I’m ready to fall in love
And show more of where this comes from
Happy to start this journey with you,
start this journey with you.

When you need me, baby I got you
Deep in these feelings, I’m so inspired
Share with me your thoughts and desires
I’m just so excited
Cause I’m ready to be next to you… Just you…

When did it become my responsibility
to remind you
that you still owe me money?!
You was real quick to ask for it,
so you need to be quick about
“pay your debt!”

I can’t wait
for the day
I
open up to her,
knowing
she will never
use my past
as
ammunition
