Man, I Don't Know

You say God loves us all. But Christianity was used to enslave my people. You tax the gays and work side by side with them but say for marriage they’re not equal! You say I live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. But I know for a fact that the founding fathers had slaves. I know for a fact that the founding fathers had slaves.
Man, I don’t know
I don’t know
You lie, cheat and steal to make your country grow
I don’t know
I don’t know
You enslave, kill and lie to make, your country grow
You tell me to give thanks and praise on Thanksgiving Dinner.
But you butchered and killed the so-called Indian and stole their land and have the nerve to coin the phrase, “Indian Giver”. I guess that’s how you became the winner! The government says that we’re spending too much and that they’re broke. But every time I get paid you skim tax money before I even get my check. Now that’s what I call, a joke! The so-called Indian already understood that you could never own the land and that the land owns you.
Man, I don’t know
I don’t know
With your arrogance and greed, man you need to grow.
I don’t know
I don’t know
With your arrogance and greed man, you need to grow.
Priests, politicians and reverends love to scream and yell about gay marriage. it’s a policy they’ll always dispute. So why are reverends, priests, and politicians always caught with male prostitutes? Love and marriage should be for all people. Who are you to decide what constitutes as equal? You say it’s a free country, but why does everything cost? Your greed infiltrates everything and you could care less about the cost. As long as you get what you want and get called the boss! To you, it doesn’t matter if the working class IS at a financial loss.
Man, I don’t know
I don’t know
With your duplicity and lies, man you need to grow
I don’t know
I don’t know
You Rape you Steal, you Lie, and everyone should know.

I Should've Told You

You and I had so much fun. When we met you became my trusted one. I poured my heart out to you and you listened with care. Our schoolmates thought we were lovers but that we didn’t dare. I spent years chasing immature girls and you were always ahead of the rest. We had a mutual attraction but I just wanted sex. You always made me smile. You and I could have been the best.
I should have told you that I love you
I should have told you that I cared
You were the one that made me laugh
You were the one that was always there
I should have told you that I love you
I should have told you that I cared
You were the one that made me laugh
You were the one that was always there
I should have told you
I should have told you
I should have told you
I should have told you
I was young and foolish and couldn’t see past my penis. We could have been together and now there’s nothing left between us. You and I together could’ve lived the life. Now I hear that you’re someone else’s wife. I’m sure you’re happy with your husband and kids. And now I just think about all the things I never said or did.
I should have told you that I love you
I should have told you that I care
You were the one that made me laugh
You were the one that was always there
I should have told you that I love you
I should have told you that I care
You were the one that made me laugh
You were the one that was always there
Now I’ve changed and have grown to be a better man. I’m no longer blinded by physical beauty. I see things for what they are and now I understand. I just wanted to say that on this very day. I love you and you were the one that got away. I love you, and you were the one that got away.
I should have told you that I love you
I should have told you that I care
You were the one that made me laugh
You were the one that was always there
I should have told you
I should have told you
I should have told you
I should have told you

The Disconnect
03:15

I walk down the street and I see female faces from my tribe that show no love. No acknowledgment that we are from the same tribe. A so-called black man will walk past me and acknowledge me with a nod of his head. A so -called black woman will most often ,but not always, look right past me without even looking in my direction. The look on their faces is often of distrust,anger and frustration. America has not been kind to my African Queens! America has severed the sacred connection between the African King and Queen. I don’t expect the African Queen to just jump into my arms and hug me and kiss me whenever she sees me. Although, that would be nice! I just want you to see me and to know that this king walks beside you. I just want you to know that when you do decide to smile and say hello, that you light up the universe! That you are so much more powerful than you realize. Our self worth was taken from us centuries ago during slavery in America. We’ve become disconnected! You haven’t been told how beautiful and strong you’ve always been. You haven’t been told that you are the first perfect woman that was ever created! All women were molded from your image. You don’t need to buy someone else’s hair to magnify your beauty, it actually takes away from it. There’s nothing wrong with your nose or your lips. You’re beautiful whether you’re dark or light! Your hair is also beautiful whether it’s kinky, combed or pressed. And what is it that you haven’t said to me? Do you admire my strength and creativity? The black woman doesn’t want to admit that she needs me as much as I need her! She doesn’t tell me that I was the original perfect man, and that all other men were molded in my image. She hasn’t told me how handsome I am, and that I don’t need to cut my nose or bleach my skin. That these things take away from me. There are Sooo many things that we don’t say to each other that we should say! Our self hatred shows in the people that we choose and the people we don’t choose. We don’t even know that we’re broken, disconnected. How can we heal if we don’t even know that we’re sick?
Welcome to the Disconnect.....

When I get off work. I enjoy my personal time. I’ll Drive to the store to get what I want. I see it, grab it, and get in line. There’s only one cashier and I’m pressed for time. The line is getting longer and the cashier is just taking their time. Something occurred to me. (Good help is hard to find)

When you’re only paying them dimes. Good help is hard to find.

We live in a land that’s all about financial success. But we underpay our workers and they come to work all stressed. In this country we work more for less while others live in excess. Sometimes when you’re at work in order to get the job done you have to really bust your ass! But why should you if you’re employer won’t give up some more cash? High powered execs make millions off your back. But you’re not able to let your own money stack. (Good help is hard to find)

In the 21st Century people are still being paid $11.00 to $13.00 an hour. If you paid me that little, my work ethic would be sour. Now I realize why most young people don’t know how or want to work! Would you if you were never paid what you’re worth? (Good help is hard to find)

You have to spend money to make money. People are your most valuable commodity. When American businesses realize this, it’s such a rare oddity. All of this occurred to me while I wait in this long ass line. (Good Help is Hard to find) That good help is hard to find

I take you out and I buy you nice things. You would say thank you and now you don’t say a word. I’m cool, I like to do pleasant things. But that don’t mean I’m trying, to buy you a diamond ring!
Don’t take my kindness for weakness
Believe me girl because I mean this
You shame an innocent thing
All kinds of trouble you bring
Don’t take my kindness for weakness
Believe me girl because I mean this
I thought we were friends. I thought we were buds. But you don’t appreciate me girl and that really sucks. Now you’re a pretty girl, very nice and tall. But just because I’m nice to you don’t mean I want them drawls! Yes I’m nice and my style is clean. But you don’t want me to flip it girl you don’t want that scene. Now if I act real nice to you, you treat me like a joke. But if I treat you like dirt than you go for broke!
Don’t take my kindness for weakness
Believe me girl because I mean this
You shame an innocent thing
All kinds of trouble you bring
Don’t take my kindness for weakness
Believe me girl because I mean this

You tell me I’m about to quench your thirst. My brow starts to sweat because you about to put me to work.

The Moment
02:32

We take a drive in the country. The summer breeze feels nice. She tells me all about her day. She doesn’t really like her job all that much. But she loves her paycheck. I tell her that’s bittersweet, she knows. I tell her that I’ve been looking forward to seeing her all day. I love her perfume. The way her fragrance lingers in my car. She reminds me of the sweetest flower, delicate and enticing. She tells me that I made her day; And that it doesn’t matter where we drive. That as long as she is with me she’s safe and secure. I don’t care for my job either. I make ends meet. But that’s okay, because she knows that one day soon I will empower myself. She believes in me, and that’s priceless. We can see the flowers and trees from the side of the road. The moment is beautiful. She doesn’t have to tell me that her love for me is real. It’s something I just feel. A Daisy represents peace. A Rose represents passion, and a Violet means love. My lady, well she’s all of the above. With the breeze in my face and her by my side. I feel at peace with the world.
