It took me a minute to get hereβ¦
Someone once ask me did I know
What I wantβ¦
The turn around and told
Me I didnβt know what I wantβ¦
Funny thing is they were rightβ¦
I never in my life
Wanted to fight for anything but
My rights
As a black woman
I find myself latelyβ¦
Thinking about
Fighting for loveβ¦
I thought love didnβt need
No fighting
If it was meant to beβ¦
It would be…
I hate that sayingβ¦
Big time…
Then I find myself thinking…
Could any man have me wanting
To fight for loveβ¦
Iβm still a little confused on itβ¦
And been doing a debate in my head
For awhile nowβ¦
I donβt want to fight..
I want to give up!
I want to walk awayβ¦
Deep down…
All I want
Is you
Next to meβ¦
Holding me down
Staying true to
Whatβs rightβ¦
I fell for you a long time ago
I thought I could
Fall out of love
With you with so many
Miles between usβ¦
I thought no man
Could get me to change my
Ways when it came to thatβ¦
Boy was I wrongβ¦
I thought I was solid as a rockβ¦
Iβm working on finding my way back
There!
Itβs been rough!
I never been one
To stay still for one personβ¦
I canβt even waitβ¦
But I know I shouldβ¦
That person is everythingβ¦
I need right now…
I donβt know about
Tomorrow!
Or next year
Or later on…
But right now
I know!
Iβm not trying to think about the future without
You…
Iβm not trying to picture my life
Without youβ¦
Iβm trying to dream it
Imagine it…
And while Iβm at it
Pray about it!
Iβm trying to make this rightβ¦
Itβs hard when that person wonβt acknowledge
You when they still in their own waysβ¦
Something got to giveβ¦
Itβs got me going both waysβ¦
I always wanted to have someone thatβs
Irreplaceableβ¦.
In more ways then oneβ¦
Always wanted someone that
Could complete me in more ways then one
If I throw it at themβ¦
They are going to throw it backβ¦
Stubborn as a mule…
Mean as a snakeβ¦
But gentle to the touch
And love in his waysβ¦
Seems like I ask for a lotβ¦
When a lot of peeps canβt even attempt
To stay true to themselves
Iβm finallyβ¦
Admitting it to myselfβ¦
Took long enough
Going on 4 yrs in Mayβ¦
Well itβs been a long time and a long
Journey!
Like to say Thank God for you!
