The Way


I called you my angel

Cause by the way you made me feel in every angle

You called me your love

Cause I gave you things that no other women could

Like my heart, that you broke into pieces

To see me cry and leave for a hoe 

That gave you that STD 

Cause you wanted to cheat 

And not be the man that yo momma raise you to be

So now you runnin’ back to me 

As fast as you can like in the Olympic 

So no one won’t steal me 

Like a thief in night 

That you can’t see,

But someone did

Took my heart and treat it like it was God’s gift to him

Showed me how a real man should treat me

Like the Queen I am 

He said “I’m not going nowhere, like yo last man did”

Just been a month since I been with him

But it feel like two years cause that way I vibe with him

Told me that he “my nigga till the end”

But I told him no!

Cause baby a nigga is someone who come and go

So I call you my man 

Cause the fact you didn’t go 

Got us talking about long goals 

That we know is true

Like a fairy tale…..A dream come true

They told me that a black girl can’t have a special someone

Cause we wasn’t good for no one

But he stayed

Stayed by my side as I cried when my brother wanted to die

Stayed by my side as I cried when my momma put me out

He was my gift from God

He gave me that 90’s love

*The love that I love

 Cause even though I wasn’t born in the 90’s

It was always a place for me to go cause the feelings it gave me* but…...

The way Martin looked at Gina

When they was just sitting face to face 

Was the same look he gave me

 Like Cory and Topanga

As they care for one another like husband and wife

At the age of 17 and 18

Or even like

Moesha and Q

Cause even though they had they bad times

They never stopped loving one another

But most of all 

Like the way Steve

Loved Laura even though she wasn’t in love with him

But that’s the thing I am in love with you 

To be continued…...
