dear brother

dear brother,

i heard you telling the fellas the  prospects don't look too good
hard to find the right woman in the hood
cause you lookin for the  wifey type, 
a keep it real sistah, no bullshit no hype
a sistah proud to keep house and home
don't spend all her time in the mirror or gossiping on the phone

you want a sistah that will raise her children righteously
so i take your complaint in consideration and i won't disagree
however, i ponder what will you do
when a real sistah come through
and she bringing her A game to the table
as she pens a new chapter in the bedtime fable
of love and matrimony
she too real to ever be phony
like mr & mrs. smith she got ya back
at the same time she keep you focused and on track
with the god in you
pulling you through
the darkness where you think your tears are invisible
a night in her arms got a brother feeling he invincible

not only does she keep her own ego in check
she is a sistah with wisdom and a phenomenal intellect
never go out without her wedding ring
an unspoken homage she pays to her king
she a bad sistah you'd be proud to have her as your wife
so i ponder again how will you protect her life?

will you shun her so you can prove to your boys that you runnin things?
or will you go the extra mile to do what it takes to make her heart sing
will you protect her from the possibility 
of infidelity?
will you let another sistah have the upper hand knowing she slept with you, her man?
Will you try to protect her heart from the pain
or will you be arrogant and try and run game?
Will you treat her as a woman with desire and kindle the flame of her fire?
Or will you treat her like a little girl
unprotected when you angry and mad at the world?
Can you protect her from the madness of the streets?
Will you be selfish in between them sheets?
Will you protect her from betrayal and lies?
Will you take the time to look deep in her eyes?

See you gonna have to be ready for the real wifey type
a true sistah soldier, no bullshit no hype
you gonna have to bring your A game to the table
if you so desire a love relationship that is stable
no sense making a sistah sign a bogus contract
tens years later sistah tired wishing she could retract
you can't be messin around with a sistah in consciousness
cause she about her business and living her life in righteousness

if you want the best 
then you can't offer her any less
you got to be ready to do your part
keep it real with her right from the start
if you have personal integrity, time will tell
if you know how to be a king and a servant as well
it will take true love, hard work, and partnership
to forge two like spirits to walk as one god-ship
so i suggest when you come upon that nice sistah you do things right
make sure you have what it takes to unite 
with her inner glow,
her spiritual flow
her God light

signed,

the wifey type
