Keep Up With Me

Found someone who can keep up with me
now that one is all I can see.

Have been through the fight to keep love in sight.
After years of pain, now I see the light!

Have told others, there is more to do besides sharing covers.
Tried to speak wisdom to the lost and confused kind of brothers.

I really wasn't prepared for a love like this,
but things changed when we shared a kiss.

Older, younger
stronger, wise.
Broke past ties,
kept away from lies.

Times were somewhat good back then,
even when my spirit didn't override my skin.

These days I am focused on what really matters,
true love has made a pumping heart grow fatter.

Feel satisfied with my new life,
less boring, and not as much strife.

Know what I want and why I am here,
happiness moves me to shed a tear.

I do not fear what people might say
I take the time out to pray each day.

Have a lot to share with the one who has blessed me,
healed my wandering, blind eyes, so that I may see,
I now appreciate the one who stands before me!

Young Women: When He's Up, He's Up, But When He's Down...

In such a rush to grow up!
Couldn't wait to get that drink in your cup.

Thought you had everything figured out.
Gave God a praise and even a shout.

But now you realized that the one in season--
is not the one you really want to be pleasin.'
Young woman grow up!
Drop your teacup.

Look at the man, he isn't for free.
He is playing you plus three.

There's one for his head
and one for his bed
and one he's hoping will be dead.

Plan on cashing an insurance policy
Been living a lie-- one big fallacy.

Get out while you can,
he's just an ordinary man.

When he's up, he's up
but when he's down, he's down.
little man will hang to the ground.

Then what will you do?
No love connection between you two.

You might have a baby,
a premature old lady.

Don't take his name,
there all the same!

Help him with money--
plus you gave up the honey.

He's not interested in your mind,
more concerned with your behind.

Got a feeling some of you needed to read this,
because you realized a relationship isn't all bliss.

Run while you still have a dime.
Learn while you still have time.
