What The?

"Who is that in my bed?"
That's what she said.

Took out a knife,
ready to take a lady's life.
The things people do to bring on strife.


"What the...who is that?"
He didn't own a hat.

Took out a large gun,
ready to ruin a man's fun.
The things people do under the sun.

You try to warn them, tell them to watch,
but all they can think about is the crotch.

A Heartbreaker's Lust

I tried to be the best I could be
I tried to make him see, make him see,
but he was no longer in love with me
and I couldn't be, what he wanted me to be.

So I packed my things and I left his ring
and I took the time to sing, to sing
about what God had done for me,
He opened my eyes so I could see!

Now I have left the pain of yesteryear,
ignorance, upset and threw away a tear.
Stopped preparing for things that brought on fear.


What made me act so frail, so dumb,
do so much for a little crumb...?

Couldn't get a smile, a laugh,
or even get him to do some math.

Sometimes we avoid lessons in fun,
think all days are full of sun.
Then let down our shaky guard,
look the other way and don't retard.

Move so very fast, so fast,
then think lust will last and last.

Watch before you cross the street,
and don't get caught between the sheets.

See what you don't want to see,
listen to heartbreakers like me.

Never thought days would be like this,
never thought I would be the one to diss.

But when you get tired and have been fired,
your brain and pain become tightly wired.

Sometimes you feel, you enjoy the thrill,
then other times you rather just chill.

So now that you know how lust can go,
don't be the one who gets lost in the show.

Without Him

Got a phone call
that was all.
The voice told me to, "Stand real tall--
cause he isn't worth the trouble,
didn't need to be with Barney Rubble."

Yeah, I was going to get this right,
I would state my truth and avoid a fight--
would rest easy and sleep tonight.

Some men think they are real big,
got women with holes to dig.
Found a way to solve my issue,
for one, I stopped grabbing tissue.

You see, sometimes we think we know
and sometimes we love for show,
but disrespect comes with a blow.

No time to be with The One
a heart he had once won.

More concerned about dollars and cents
and who or what he represents.

Looked around for all the signs
and realized I was behind the times.

Kept waiting for something good,
"I wish, I wish, he would..."

Then changed my mind,
a future I had to find.

Mean and Rude

Looked the other way
when I had something to say--he was rude.

Found a way to ignore me,
covered his ears so I could see.
What happened to fun times--the glee?

"He looks on the bright side..."
Yeah right, not him, he lied.

Referred to me as "someone"
while he talked on the phone.
Resisted the temptation to raise my tone.

Look!  This is how it can be,
being with someone who ain't free...

Emotionally!
Physically!
Spiritually!

lost without the God within thee.
Had to test the spirits to see.

In the past, I use to think that love could last.
I even went so far to take a 40 day spiritual fast.

Remembered that man who was once very kind.
He thought of more than getting some behind.

Saw a man who had white around him like a dove,
he had that Holy Spirit kind of peace and love.

But things all changed when...
the first lady's life went dim.

No one really knew what kind of sin Mean was in--
packed his entire life in a box, a bin.

But God always has a plan for a mere man.
It doesn't matter if he is white, fat, black or tan.

If he wants love that is real,
then he believes in something surreal.

He holds his arms and hands up
and asks the one true God to fill his cup.

You see I learned a lot from both Mean and Rude
even when they acted stupid and shrewed.

I realized they too believed in enemy lies
I saw how the two like to compromise.

One for money, the other for power
then evil created his rainshower.

But sooner or later Mean and Rude
will have to trade those ugly dudes,
otherwise face the angel of death
that eats his young up like a drug named Meth.
