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...

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.
 

Biden

Back in the day we used to put our hand out towards someone else’s face and say “Bye,” as if to say, “Bye, get out my face.”
Just imagine Biden telling you, “Bye then, imma go, get out yo face and be gone.”

You saying I should be replaced and get out the race - Biden
You saying I’m too old - Biden
You saying I’m unfit and not fit for office - Biden
You want me to step down, step off and step out - Biden
You saying I can’t win… Well Biden

But you want me to pass the “Stress” test right?
So what you are saying is, in order to “pass” the stress test, I need to pass it on to the next person… Got it!
Well, you know what my response is to that? Biden

You saying I should relax, retire and enjoy the rest of my life… Well I should and I just might.
Let somebody else deal with this mess of a stress, load off my chest… Just remember, there’s no mending, our relationship is e...

You love me, but

What is love? 
Is it just a feeling, emotions or actions?
Is it just words? 
I love you - I love you so much, this much, too much, very much…
When your spouse, husband, friend, child or someone tells you they love you, how do you receive the words you just heard?
And when you say “I love you” are they just words spoken?
Do you give love the way you want love received?
Ask yourself, do your actions line up with what you just said?
But then again, if someone doesn’t KNOW what love is, then that could be a reason as to why they don’t know how to show it.

God is Love. Do you love like God loves?
God's love is unconditional. Here’s how I know.
God's love is pure, gentle, comforting and forever.
Your love is sometimes and can change like the weather
It can be cold, or it can be hot
You can love me a little, or love me a lot

Your words say, I love you, but wha...

The Young and the Dress Less

Yes I said it - The Dressless, cause what are they really wearing?
It’s practically nothing. Should it be called “Clothes for Hoes?”
But why do they dress less? Is it for attention, is it insecurity, is it they lack confidence, is it cute, is it tacky, is it sexy, is it to “fit in,” is it misleading, is it enticing…?

I know what it is, it is sad. It’s sad to see how some of these young generations leave nothing for the imagination. Seems like everything flashes, even eyelashes.

But at what point do we hold parents accountable for this behavior, especially when children are under 18 and dressing provocative? Because truth be told, most of them don’t have a job to be buying those type of clothes, so who’s buying them?

Back in the day, it was a must to cover up. But that was then, cause now, they on full display. They display it all, from the skimpy clothes to wearing no draws.

When I tell you they extra, they “Extra....

In this world, many want to achieve something. It is a desire to be rewarded with something that you have earned.
When you graduate from high school, you earn a diploma. 
When you graduate from college, you earn a degree.
Sometimes when you excel at a job, you earn a raise and/or a promotion. Yet everyday, people overlook the fact...
