Thank you Father.

He text today.
Asked me where I've been and what I've been up to
and
for the first time
I could actually respond that I'm fine.
been busy,
doing well,
ain't been thinkin' about you.

You just don't know how it feels to be real
and not be faking the funk
to have healed
and be able to have a conversation and feel NOTHING.

No twinge of what could have been,
thinking about what should have been
and no regret or uncertainty.

Thank You Father!

He loves the streets (When I was 16)

It just ain't gone work
He say he loves me but he shows me just the opposite
won't leave the streets alone now We got to deal with the consequence

Can't live the hood life, ain't on my list of projected accomplishments
and he knows that i would rather die than have to wave at him from behind the fence

say he wants me to be his wife,
but he's married to the white
and he can't have the both of us so one of us has gotta go tonight

I don't even wanna hear the choice
because what if he doesn't chose me
and the streets are more important
and he would just rather lose me?

he says he loves me
but he's willing to leave me and do a 5-10
a 10-20
all for his hood because he loves the streets
and he LIKES me.
