Why must I love and be lied to?

What is it that I have done that makes this man kiss me and run?

 Once I've given up my heart to you, the least you can do is remain true

But instead you feed me lies and like a hungry child, those lies are my nourishment

Because to face the truth would mean a colder reality would set in and the world I have built and created for us is no more and I can't see you running out that door

 To leave me all alone with no one to call my own because I have given up so much for you, let go of so many for you because all I needed in my world was you, you were my air that I breathe, the bottom of my soul, the clothes that I need, but you let me go for greed

Does she feel better than me? Can she sway her hips the way I do? Can she touch you like I? Does she leave you wanting more? Does she rub your back when its feeling sore? Does she know how to make you smile even when you don't want to? Does she know the truth about your past? Can she handle all that I have excepted? Or will she turn and run away from you? because you know Karma always come back, especially when you think it's alright, that you have gotten away without so much as a fight

I still think about you when no one is around and I reminisce over the past and when we first met because nothing could stop us or separate us

I was the bonnie to your clyde forget what jay-z and beyonce were talking about

They don't know what the two of us amounted

And when I'm real weak I call out for you and pray that you will here me and come running to push the pain away

And when I'm strong I feel like I can make it on my own and that I don't need you or any other no good man in my life cuz as "changing faces" once put it, " I can do bad all by myself" so what do I need you for?

And I'm tired of being pulled in this never ending circle of he loves me, he loves me not that my mind keeps playing with my heart, that has been going on for so long, I can't tell where it ends and where it starts

So all I can do is try to make it one day at a time because if I try to rush the days all the way through, I'll find myself running back to you

When all you do is kiss me and run away, and I can't keep praying that you will stay because you're a man and you're gonna do what you wanna do but I'm a woman and I got needs too

I think I've found the one

But then again, isn't that what I said before?

And that man left me hurt and alone and I couldn't take no more

But he feels like the one

 The only to make me smile at the end of my long day

This one that makes want him and push the others away

And he looks like the one

 Because when he smiles I can't take it and even when I try to fake it,

My legs can't stop shaking

And he acts like the one

Treats me with respect and honor, calls me his queen

Makes me feels like a woman, but is it all what it seems?

I'm hoping he's the one

Because I'm all cried out over men who smiled in my face and treated me with disgrace when they were in anotha's pretty face

I can't take it if he's not the one

Because I've invested so much time and love and energy in this man

To have him turn and walk away and leave me where I stand

Can I call him the one

Even if he's not? Because I don't know if I can start over

after he has taken everything I got

But am I the one for him?

Am I truly what he needs?

After all he has been through in the past, can he see the truth in me?

But can I handle being the one?

Knowing all that's happened in my past

Can I bury all the pain and give my heart away at last

What does it take to be his one?

 Because I wanna make sure its right

After all the things we've been through, I don't want to lose this fight

All I can do be me and hope that I'm his one

I can't change who I am for anyone

And I won't come second to anyone

All he can do is be him and hope that's he's my one

Because he knows my past and the cards I've been dealt

So he know the issues my heart has felt

So I think I've found but

Is he truly the one for me?

All I can do is take the chance and simply wait and see...

A little over 10 years ago, rapper Tupac made a rap song that had the famous lyrics "...and though it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to have a black president." Here we are 10 years later, and we actually have the chance to have a black president in office. But are we really ready for this type of change? Has America really changed this much that we all are ready to handle a black president? What effect do you think this will have on the war, gas prices, and the economic deficit that has been in affect for years? Will there be change amongst equal opportunities for black and white?  You decide, Black America. Please respond. Peace and blessings.
