Spoken Words

CATEGORY

life

Spoken words are what I hear
That sinks into the depth of my ear
What's reflected and brought up later in time
Are the spoken words buried within my mind
Some spoken words really should go far away
Spoken words I don't wanna deal with you today

Spoken words at times can be such a lie
They are said to make you happy, then at moments make you cry
Spoken words, spoken words, you are just so mean
You call me fat and ugly, then use curse words in between

Spoken words are a reminder of what was said back then
If spoken harsh the spoken words are hard for you to mend
Spoken words you stood there directly in my face
You said you'll never leave me, now we're distant with this space

Spoken words can be misused and often times leave you confused
Spoken words, spoken words, I just don't get
Spoken words, spoken words, so full of it

Just to remind you here are a few
Of the spoken words I thought to me was oh so true
"Call me if you need me, I'll be here for you"
But my calls went unanswered, what now am I to do?

Spoken words you said that you were on your way
Spoken words you still haven't made it to this day
Spoken words you said that I would always be your friend
Until my money I decided not to you I want to lend

Spoken words you said at the altar, "I do"
But spoken words I must ask, "Where now are you? "
Spoken words don't know the damage that was done
What was once two for years has now become just one

You said, "I love you, I got you, yeah baby we good"
Could the spoken words you said may have been misunderstood?
Spoken words said, "I'mma change, I'll try"
Spoken words can leave without even saying good-bye

Spoken out of character, out of content, out of text
Spoken words can alter what you will say next
Spoken words can tear you down and even build you up
Spoken words can strengthen you and make you oh so tough

Spoken words should be positive and to do that shouldn't be hard
Spoken words used negative you should totally disregard

Let's be mindful of the words we choose to use today
So spoken words can be remembered in a good and happy way

I love you!

Open Enrollment

It’s November and it’s that time of the year for Open Enrollment for health care coverage. Yeah, this happens in November, but the good news is, God has Open Enrollment year round. Open enrollment means just that, open.

Definition of open is, “allowing access, not closed or blocked.” And that is what God is going to do. When you enroll under God’s coverage, He is going to allow you access to receive many blessings. He’s going to begin to open up some things in your life.

With God’s open enrollment you don’t have to fill out no application, speak to a representative, apply online, list yearly household income, nor do you have to wonder or worry if you are going to be approved. You don’t have to renew every year and you don’t have to make monthly payments.
Ask yourself, do you really need medical coverage, or do you just need to Believe? Did you not know that God i...

I know who Won

I know who won, I WON!
This 2024 election has brought trauma, drama, disgrace, disrespect, division, relief, joy, confusion, laughter, tears, smiles and so many mixed emotions.

People are happy he won, people are rejoicing, celebrating, relieved. People are smiling, excited and gloating.
People are sad, distraught, disappointed. People are mad, angry and frustrated. People are hurt, fearful, unhappy and uncertain, all because of who won and who didn’t.

To me, I WON, because I KNOW God!
I won because God is my Provider, not no man, momma, husband or job.
I won because I Trust God. What happened to “In God we trust?”

I won because I have FAITH. Yes, Faith over Fear. What happened to your faith? Why is your faith wavering? Why are you fearful?
The Bible says, “Do not fear NO man, but fear God.”

I won because God is my Shield and my Protector. ...

The Prediction of God Bless America

When it comes to “this” generation, many (if any) do not know about the songs we sung faithfully and wholeheartedly each and every morning at school.
I was born in the sixties and even in the seventies and so forth, I remember, every morning in class, before our day began, we all had to stand and place our hand across our chest and pledge allegiance to the flag.
We sung songs that represented unity, songs that meant something. We were taught to love THIS country. We were United. (At least that’s what the younger me thought)

Now for those who may not know, this is the Pledge of Allegiance.

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

As of today, from my understanding, not ALL states require their schools to say the Pledge of Allegiance, which once again proves my point tha...

I’m Faithful to your Wife

Yeah, I am, very faithful.

My question begins with, why do men cheat?
Now I know women cheat too, but right now, I’m talking about the men. So like I said, “Why do men cheat?”

First and foremost, they shouldn’t be flirting or even entertaining another woman. If you go out, then go out, hang with yo boys, have you a few drinks and go home to YOUR wife. Yes, your “for life” wife.

Second, it could be because they meet women and are not honest about the fact that they are married or even in a relationship. So in this case, the other woman is unaware and doesn’t know.

Third, it could be that they are honest and the other woman doesn’t care, and now this easily opens up the door for infidelity.

Me, I’ve seen this rodeo. Hell, I even rode this rodeo.
Yes, I’ve been down this road before so I will tell you from my experienc...

I Do

In a marriage, what is “for life?” or, until death do you part?
Or is it until one cheats, gets sick, loses their job, go to jail, get on drugs, become abusive…? Because if neither one of yall are dead and death did not part yall, then why are yall apart? Why are you divorced?

When you got married, you said, “I Do.” You do what?
You do wanna leave, you do want a divorce, you do want out, you do want to cheat, you do wanna have your cake and eat it too…?

You do wanna hit your wife, you do want to be abusive, you do want to be controlling?
You do wanna lie, you do want to be disrespectful, you do want to fuss and complain, you do want to gamble, you do wanna hang out all night…?

Or, is it that your “I Do” mean, you do want your family, you do want it to last, you do want to be faithful, you do want to be trustworthy, you do wanna communicate, you do want to build and grow tog...

Are you ready for some Football?

Are you ready? I mean, are you REALLY ready for some football?
Are you ready for some yelling, some fun, some cussing, some drinking, partying and tailgating?

Are you ready for some fussing, some trash talking, some controversies, some laughter, some excitement, some missed calls, some dropped passes, some intercepts, some cheating, some fumbles, some missed field goals, some touchdowns, some overtime, some down to the wire wins?

Are you ready for some drunkenness, some over eating, some over spending, the moods and attitudes, some Sports Center Highlights? Better yet, are you ready for work on Monday?

Football definitely supplements the city’s income.
Is the hosting city ready for an economic boost, the crowds, the fans, the visitors, the traffic jams, the clean ups???
Are you ready to pay for parking violations and tows?

Are the players and coaches ready for so...

Up, up and away

Heyyy friend, since we always UP to something, I wanna give a tribute to the word UP, because everyday of our life we do something meaningful with the word up.
So with that being said, I wanna know, what’s UP with you?
How many of these UPs did you do today?

hurry up, stand up, start up, write up
raise up, speed up, mark up, fill up
come up, pull up, step up, climb up
drive up, straighten up, cheer up, tear up
rise up, lift up, run up, clean up, buckle up

chin up, pin up, put up, shut up
get up, sit up, hit up, spit up

woke up, broke up, spoke up
boot up, toot up, man up, hand up
chew up, blew up, screw up
walk up, talk up, hype up, type up

dress up, mess up, fold up, hold up
wake up, make up, break up
toss up, boss up, lay up, pay up
look up, hook up, took up, shook up
tighten up, lighten up, wrap up, strap up

save up, gave up, head up, made...

Bad Boys

Alright ladies, what you gon do when they come for you?

He said, “Hey Cutie,” that’s all she heard
And he made her smile with just those two words

What is it about you Bad Boy that got her so hooked?
What is it about you, is it the way that you look?
Is it yo style, yo flow, is it yo smile or yo swag?
Is it the fact that you can buy her that expensive Birkin bag?

She want a drug dealer, a hood boy, yeah she like the gangster
She don’t want no nice, quiet, nerdy boy, nobody wants a wangster

She want the one that’s rough, all tattooed, a lil rowdy
The one with the saggy pants that’ll pull a trigger, no doubt about it
She want the one that’s tough with the words he say
And even if he abuse her, she’ll just look the other way
Oh he said he sorry, it won’t happen no mo
He said that as he watched the blood from her head just flow

Some women protect the Bad Boy...

You woke up

You woke up late
You woke up tripping
You woke up hot
You woke up on the wrong side of the bed
You woke up with mad
You woke up grateful
You woke up lonely
You woke up with a headache
You woke up happy
You woke up sad
You woke up horny
You woke up feeling bad
You woke up tired…
But the good news is… You woke up.
