Never Do Like You

  
I will never do like you do
Because you will never do
Like I do

I spent my days
Over empty pages
Pouring out my emotions
Trying to live my life
Through the different stages

You will never be
Like me
Because there are certain things
You will never see

You will never know
what`s happening inside
I put on another face
Trying to hide

Am I less of a man?
I don`t understand
Why am I being pushed aside
To not live my life
In a normal society
But you will never do
Like I do

I walk these streets
Like a shadow
Trying to fit in behind another
I don`t have a world for myself
Because I’ve been living
In the world
Of someone else


But now I know
I will never do
Like you do
Not at all
Because when these pages
Are filled
I put the writing on the wall
For all to see
Because I’m tired
Of hiding in the shadows
So I came out in the light
To share my story
With the whole world

This Isn`t Love


You say you love me
But this isn’t love
The way you treat me
This isn’t love

I gave you my all
But you made me
Look small

I accept you
For who you are
Made you a part of my world
My friends even criticized me
Because of the royal treatment
I gave to this little black girl

This isn’t love, It can`t be
You getting pregnant
For another man
After you proclaimed that
All you had belonged to me
No way
This isn’t love

Think again
I made straight every corner
And every bend
It is on you
That all my hard-earned money is spent
But still you run off with
Some other men

You claimed you love me
But you redefined love
Because clearly
This isn’t love
