It took me a minute to get hereโฆ
Someone once ask me did I know
What I wantโฆ
The turn around and told
Me I didnโt know what I wantโฆ
Funny thing is they were rightโฆ
I never in my life
Wanted to fight for anything but
My rights
As a black woman
I find myself latelyโฆ
Thinking about
Fighting for loveโฆ
I thought love didnโt need
No fighting
If it was meant to beโฆ
It would be…
I hate that sayingโฆ
Big time…
Then I find myself thinking…
Could any man have me wanting
To fight for loveโฆ
Iโm still a little confused on itโฆ
And been doing a debate in my head
For awhile nowโฆ
I donโt want to fight..
I want to give up!
I want to walk awayโฆ
Deep down…
All I want
Is you
Next to meโฆ
Holding me down
Staying true to
Whatโs rightโฆ
I fell for you a long time ago
I thought I could
Fall out of love
With you with so many
Miles between usโฆ
I thought no man
Could get me to change my
Ways when it came to thatโฆ
Boy was I wrongโฆ
I thought I was solid as a rockโฆ
Iโm working on finding my way back
There!
Itโs been rough!
I never been one
To stay still for one personโฆ
I canโt even waitโฆ
But I know I shouldโฆ
That person is everythingโฆ
I need right now…
I donโt know about
Tomorrow!
Or next year
Or later on…
But right now
I know!
Iโm not trying to think about the future without
You…
Iโm not trying to picture my life
Without youโฆ
Iโm trying to dream it
Imagine it…
And while Iโm at it
Pray about it!
Iโm trying to make this rightโฆ
Itโs hard when that person wonโt acknowledge
You when they still in their own waysโฆ
Something got to giveโฆ
Itโs got me going both waysโฆ
I always wanted to have someone thatโs
Irreplaceableโฆ.
In more ways then oneโฆ
Always wanted someone that
Could complete me in more ways then one
If I throw it at themโฆ
They are going to throw it backโฆ
Stubborn as a mule…
Mean as a snakeโฆ
But gentle to the touch
And love in his waysโฆ
Seems like I ask for a lotโฆ
When a lot of peeps canโt even attempt
To stay true to themselves
Iโm finallyโฆ
Admitting it to myselfโฆ
Took long enough
Going on 4 yrs in Mayโฆ
Well itโs been a long time and a long
Journey!
Like to say Thank God for you!
