Words of Wisdom: Black Truth
Reverse a thought, despise life
But how can you your own kind?
So many tears shed so much blood is bled
So many innocent people die and no one can explain why
Man from which the same ancestors we were born
Apart our hearts have been torn
Man from which many people died for
Brotherhood just aint real no more
Everyday we kill our own race
Compared to our ancestors we are a disgrace
Martin Luther King Jr had a vision, a dream
That today’s generation just fails to believe to achieve
We tare each other down to help ourselves succeed
Every day we die because we kill for our own greed
Sister soul hood doesn’t even exist
We show love with harsh words and fists
We no longer praise our black women, we call them black bitch
Why has it come down to this?
Dead or alive, If alive in jail
Six feet under seeking heaven or hell
The black man today shows no support at all
That’s why when one goes down the entire race falls
It starts within the communities and spreads across the world rapidly like a classified virus
They no longer want to remember us like they will ALWAYS remember the Titans
So they cease help and aim fire
And instead of us rising and standing united
Darkness Falls
And we are programmed with the inception that only money talks
We seek material things as a rush two hour temporal needs
Rather than seeking God or an education as the collateral for our future and to achieve our dreams
They say money makes the world go round
Well that same dollar, rooted in evil, has tore the black world down
Racks on racks on racks puts 2 bullets in a black mans cheat
And leaves his mother on the front porch to watch him die
Just another innocent killed in another drive by
This has become reality these are no longer JUST stereotypes
Everyone is an EX everybody is a CON so all it is is PROS
And we sing hood anthems cause all we do is dog hoes
Not even realizing we singing about our own little girls though
Failure never ceases to exist because all we doing is teaching it
Nobody sees the real cause aint nobody speaking it
A generation of youth that lack truth, cause aint nobody preaching it
Call me Tom Cruise I seek to complete the impossible mission
To unite my sisters and brothers and subtract the division
Cause United we Stand, Divided we Fall
One community of black brothers and sisters standing tall

Where to Start?
Where to Start?
When faced with a crossroad it often seems so hard to decide which way to go. The first step is to always start walking. Life throws these crossroads at us, just as it seems we are getting closer to our destination. I realize that we can get stuck for so long being indecisive or scared to move. But we can't stop, life is ever changing. The first thing we must do is to start walking. Even if don't know where this path will lead put on your nikes and "Just Do It"

Escape
I sit here and watch days go bye
Not even having the strength to let myself cry
Or let myself feel, too scared of the feeling
Cant even face the pain, so where is the healing
Laying here so hard not to reminisce
Of ur laugh, ur touch, ur kiss
Ur eyes, ur voice, ur smile
All the things that simply drive me wild
Wonderin if u still thinking of me
is our future too blurry to see
They say time will tell
Meanwhile it feels like im livin in hell
Fighting within me to call u all the time
So hard when its only u on my mind
I wanna give u sum space
Jus keep having dreams of ur pretty face
I regret so many things I wish I could take it back
Never meant to scare u, hurt u, n that is just a fact
I wish u forgive me, so we can continue living
So our love can continue to grow, their r no ceilings
Without u, writing is my only escape
And I know I made my share of mistakes
But being without u I cant take……..
Not even having the strength to let myself cry

Realization
The scary part isn't finding something out, its realizing that you knew it all along.
When a relationship goes bad
Or knowing which paths to follow
Know who to trust
Most times we know whats right all along but fear of change, fear of being hurt, fear of pain cause us ignore those feelings.
So when we do actually realize and accept the truth we aren't hurt by the fact that the issue occurred. But yet we are upset because we knew all along.
Listen to your first mind

What is a Title?
Sometimes I think we get so caught up on a title, that we forget to just live. We so busy trying to define what we have we dont appreciate what we have.
Instead of trying to force titles I think we could take the extra time to make sure you really know the person. Not just whats their favorite drink or club, but know how they think and understand how their mind works. A common misconception is that lesbians understand each other better. Sometimes I think it may be harder for two girls to understand each other. We get so busy being caught up in how we think and feel we dont consider that other person. Being in a relationship should be a considerable difference that just kicking it with or dating someone. I think the communication is different, the trust is different and the love is different.
What is a Title?
If you know you love a person and are happy with them, take the extra time to wait and give you and your partner the best possible chance of lasting beyond the typical three months. Dont Let a Title Define you, you DEFINE it

Maintaining A Healthy Relationship
Maintaining a healthy relationship
We often speak on how to forgive and how to let go. But I think its time we spoke on how to maintain a healthy happy relationship and no it’s not impossible. If you apply these steps to your relationship you will increase the longevity as well as the happiness.
Compromise- It seems as though this would be obvious but its not. Learning how to compromise from the biggest down to the smallest details will help you have a healthy ship There is a CLEAR difference between compromise. I’m not saying to compromise who you are but to compromise how you handle things. From small things like what to watch, what to eat, where to go all of these things are small but having an equal balance of what you like and what she likes helps the 50 50 process.
Listening- Everyone is not a good listener and some hear what they want to hear. Another key to a healthy relationship is being a good listener. One way to test ur listening skills is, if you hear your mate mention something such as a place she would like to visit, or a dessert she would like to try surprise her. Surprise her and take her to the restaurant or make the dessert she mentioned. This shows ur ability to listen as well as take the time to make her happy.
Communication- A lot of relationships go bad becuz of lack of communication. When starting a relationship a person should know enough information about who you are now, who u were, and where you plan on going. I’m not saying say OVER TALK about ur ex but that should have a general idea of what happened and know ur current status with ur ex’s meaning whether yall talk or not. They should know what you currently have going on and what ur future plans are. So many people don’t know one of these or even all 3 so when situations arise they don’t handle it right because they didn’t not have preparation.
Another part of communication is daily activities if your and your partner are in sync they should know where you are and what you doing for the day. Keeps down confusion and also helps keep the trust. Even if its I have practice then dinner that communicating to them and it shows you can be responsible and trusted.
