Shay Speaks 2 Da Soul

This is a story
Similar to mine
But I know not just mines...
So I'm sharing this...
From many hearts and
Hopefully yours it'll find.

I was doomed from the womb
Some say; You see though I was wanted and love...
I'm trying to figure out how much?
Because you pumped your body with drugs. Born a crack baby I was.
You were my first lesson about love.
I get it..No love gained so there you were lost.
All the struggles you were fighting
I just wished I could have been enough for you to have fought.
I was already fighting an advantage diss
Because I'd have to check black
One less
One less job, one less successful black woman.
When it's my dignity they'll try to rob.
We'll always have "subliminal whips and chains" but I needed you to change...
Instill in my brain...
The crown that I reign,
To be a queen, A queen, A Queen
In a world where...
My beauty, my gems,
Are usually reflected with pain.
I needed you to show me
Where that beauty lied.
Cause the world wanted it hidden.
Instead I was forced & kicked
Into the real word.
Forced to be a tiger,
Although I was still just a kitten.
Now I'm smelling the grass
Mama you gave me the venom.
Told you not to trust the man,
Told you I hated him,
When I told you,
You s***k me.
Few years down the line I'm grown
With my own kids.
Still stuck at the age this predator
Had my innocence taken
I was young; you were my hero
But why didn't you save me?

You bring me feelings Unknown.
Places I thought deserted long ago
Previously it was angst, feelings of desolation.
I've reached feelings of peak but never got this high.
You make me school girl shy.
Warm cheeks,
Sweaty palms
Everlasting thoughts of bliss
The realm...of your existence
Is like a sweet dream, sweet 💋 kiss.
I don't mean to bombard you with
My emotional trappings but you see
You have to understand
Before yooooouuuu...

I was pouring love
Into a wishing well that was constantly
Running dry.
So excuse the drip
From my showers of love.
What you give
I've been void of.
Mind says play it cool
Body wants to soak you up
Like a sponge.
There's no denying
We got a connection like a telephone line.
When we hug,
When I open my eyes,
Its like elapsed time.
Somewhere in life love...
We were intertwined..
Kinetic energy like a taste
I want to savor for a long while.
I'm just going to capture the moment like a framed shot and keep this smile.

Racial Segregation like we're the immigrants
But it was my ancestors
Who were stolen and sold like rent
God have mercy on your soul
And I hope you repent
Sold for a few dollars
Some just only for cents.
You say I'm 3/5 of a human huh?
That doesn't really make sense.
It's my black blood that melanin
Made your grand babies mixed
The one your daddys daddy and his daddy
Just couldn't resist.
Forced by fear or taken
You never cease to take a dip.
Yes this Negro blood is sweeter than yours
You mad or really mad?
Your hatred for us we never asked for
But you penalize us
In everything we do
"I see you looking
With your looking ass."
I See you watch what I do
Then try to reach and grab for it.
"Rediscover" some s**t and act like it's new.
Reteach it the way you want us to learn it
But our ancestors and facts tell the truths.
You mad cause our ancestry
Goes deeper than tree roots.
That the world wouldn't exist without
This blackberry juice?
Deeper you dig tells the strength
And gives proof.

I'm shackled, I'm bound,
Fighting freedom for myself
I'm fighting freedom from myself
Locked up no cuffs
I'm looking at myself in the mirror like
Enough is enough.
Bound by emotions
Listening to my heart
Not my gut.
Seeing people potential
Not the signs that be upfront
Getting lost within myself
Cause I just want to be loved.
Loyal love from friends
Who claimed we were friends
forever then
Drifted like the wind.
Want to have a sisterhood
Like the ones I share with my kin.
I deserve and desire
Wholehearted love
Unconditional love
Love you for you
Cause your you kind of love.
Want to be secure
I'm growing old and great
Kind of love.
Adventurous yet stable and trusted love.
So far I've been learning
People take it and dont return it.
Just sucks it up like Vampires on blood.

Backstabber

How many scars you want to
Put up in my back?
Stab me in my left
Let u still come right back.
Smiled in my face
Then when I turn around
You grabbing for the ax.
You said we was Ace Boons
But treat me like a jack.
Bent over backwards
How you gonna
Kick me in the ass?
Crazy s**t is I was reaching
To grab your hand?
Let u eat off my plate
When I only had a
Table spoon of this
And a handful of that.
Gave you rules of life
Everything I told you
It was real, never negative
it was facts.
You drop bombs
Gave me poison
The more I gave into you
You got what you wanted
Like a measuring tape
You quickly detract.
You said we were friends
What kind of a friendship
Is that?
You claim to be a loyal friend
That's big cap
My back is too wounded
From all the times you took
Your stabs.

Shayba Pierce

He pi**ed on my face and told me it was lemonade.
I am no dummy so
Now everything you say I will take it in vain.
You told me s**t was sugar but gave me vinegar and pain.
You getting rich
But I'm the only one paying
Price is too rich for me
When I have to trade
My heart that's just crazy.
You got it twisted though
Stupid isn't what I was raised to be.
