Its crazy
Its crazy how your silence gets to be another murder case
Its crazy how i trip like i didn't tie my shoe lace
Its crazy how its so hard for me to be your base
Its crazy how other people put smiles on my face
Its crazy how those little things by you come by grace
Its crazy how much your love i embrace
Its crazy how loving you feels like i'm in a race
Its crazy how i can't catch your pace
Its crazy how i love you and i'll give you space
Its crazy how its crazy so watch this space

The super african woman that i am
I am what i am, woman, soul, spirited
I am fearfully and wonderfully created
I am what no man can do without
I am meant to deliver with no doubt
I am behind every successful man
I am what was created out of a rib of a man
I am what i instill today in the future tomorrow
I am that feels the pain others will never feel
I am that bleeds without getting hurt
I am emotional and fragile i easily get hurt
I am that heals by my words and understanding
I am the producer of fine product
I am who's character is reflected in my conduct
I am the one with my hands open wide for the weak
I am what every child seeks
I am a mentor and role model for many
I am not imaginary
I am strong even when left alone
I am never weak forever
I am the super diva
I am unstoppable
I am capable of doing the impossible
I am self-sufficient
I am self indulgent
I am young and sophisticated in my own way
I am with the semblance of a new day
I hold my head high when its supposed to hang low
I am beautiful, i am joyful
I am the perfect inperfect
I am mistreated, misunderstood and mistaken
I am underestimated and often shaken
I can't be outrun or outmatched
In being everything that i am
I am what i am, soul and spirited african woman

The pain of silence
Like a little girl i sit waiting
Hoping not to be disappointed
But there again all there is,
Is the pain of silence
The silence is taking over
When that day comes closer
I try to forget and just hope
But still the pain of silence
Now this day i begin to dread
Because i know deep within
Once again all there will be
Is the pain of silence
I try to shut this out
But it haunts me like a shadow in the dark
As i fail to run from the silence
The silence is too hard to bear
And because of it i live in fear
For i do not know what to expect
So i dwell in the pain of silence

I'm doing me
Haters say i'm living in a dream
I say they don't know where I've been
Seventeen but I've been through thick and thin
Seen more deaths than a 60year old has seen
In all situations i wanted to win
All i wanted was to be queen
But i was weak and a little less keen
Memories of my life are in my ripped jeans
I'm a broken within, empty within
Remorse like a fish with a broken fin
Inexplicable, I hope you know what i mean
The in my shoes was too much for your feet to fit in
Cold and pale, my skin got green
I could use an overdose of pennicilin
It had me turned into a tin
Found myself lying in the dust bin
I said life is surely mean
Bitter like sour jelly beans
I fought and made most of my life through hustlin
I asked the Lord to forgive my sins
To carry on and be the dean
Because not a single shoulder i had to lean
I'm soldiering on and i'm doing me
