Sista To Sista By: Netta
I’m going to tell you what I know
If you want a man
To be down for you
You gotta understand
How his mind works
Simply put,
If you only want
A f*** buddy
Then you gotta make sure
You laying it down rach and every time
If that's what you want
Go for yours
Just know that
Once you put it out like that
That's all you're gonna get
From him in return
Don't expect him to express
Anything deeper
Past the point where
Your bodies meet and collide
But if what you want
A Real Man
More than mere minutes
Of temporary satisfaction
Keep your panties on
Zip up your blouse
And tell him
You want it all or nothing
If he's feeling the same
You'll know
That he's worth your time
He'll stick around
Get to know you
Make time to spend with you
Because a Real Man knows
He can get p**** anywhere
But a Real, good woman
Is a rare find
I’m going to tell you what I know
If you want a man
To be down for you
You gotta understand
How his mind works
Simply put,
If you only want
A f*** buddy
Then you gotta make sure
You laying it down rach and every time

That One Time By: Shala
I’ve tried to deny
these feelings I hide
to want you inside my soul
To feel you control
the rhythm of my body
ride my waves of passion
and flow into my ocean of desire
for you
When we speak with no words
I reach a plateau
on the highest peak of my
feel good emotions you provoke
You give me so much pleasure
not a lot of pain
but that time we were together
it felt all the same
Baby you hurt me so good
I know that we should
not be here like this
so just one last kiss
Before I go home
I can't ever return
but now I know
Never wondering again
what it would be like
what my body would do
if I ever got that one chance
to really be with you
I’ve tried to deny
these feelings I hide
to want you inside my soul
To feel you control
the rhythm of my body
ride my waves of passion
and flow into my ocean of desire
for you
When we speak with no words
I reach a plateau
on the highest peak of my
feel good emotions you provoke
You give me so much pleasure
not a lot of pain
but that time we were together
it felt all the same
Baby you hurt me so good
I know that we should
not be here like this
so just one last kiss
Before I go home
I can't ever return
but now I know
Never wondering again
what it would be like
what my body would do
if I ever got that one chance
to really be with you
This Kinda Love By: Pleasure & Pain
I look for the love
that descends like a dove
that feels like heaven above
the kind dreams are made of
I look for the eyes
that play a sensitive role
sees straight through to my soul
makes my two halves a whole
I look for the thought
that intertwines with mine
in divine intervention
Not to mention
the bliss of the kiss
that relieves all my tension
I look for the passion
beyond a daydream
with detail so keen
I feel like a crack fean
This kinda love
that I'm lookin for
I know I deserve
with all the pain that I bore
Its out there somewhere
This one time kinda love
This kinda love
That dreams are made of
I look for the love
that descends like a dove
that feels like heaven above
the kind dreams are made of
I look for the eyes
that play a sensitive role

A Mothers Cry By: Toledo Sweetness
I wrote this piece to represent the price that
is paid for our freedom...I have nothing but
love and respect for the men and woman that
continue to fight for our country.
She sits and she weeps
Her sorrow runs deep
Her son went away
Promising to return some day
The words linger on
Of the promise he made
Off to fight the war
He knew he could not ignore
Bullets were flying
Soldiers were dying
No one cared
That the mother was crying
Lay down to rest
Her only son
The fighting is over
We had won
To show our victory
His name engraved
The son
The husband
The father
The soldier
All rolled into one
The war is over
We have won

When This Man Is Fed Up By: Murff
When this man is fed up
He takes a second to breathe
Alone, and won’t answer the phone
When this man is fed up
The adrenaline starts to feel good
He takes it back to the hood:
“Now who else wants to bleep with Hollywood-Murff?”
When this man is fed up
There is sorrow in his eyes
Pain in his cries because he tries
But it just didn’t work, this time…
When this man is fed up
Its likely for something he said, did, or didn’t do
His actions are reactions that sometimes misconstrue
When this man is fed up
Don’t speak a word to him!
Don’t try to hooold and consoooole him!
Let him go, let him walk away…
Because the things he may say, will likely be regretted the same day
The same instant!
Just to relay, his frustration and pain…
Back to you
When this man is fed up
And reveals it to you
Know that he trusts you
Cares for you,
Loves you
When this man is fed up…
He needs you
When this man is fed up
He takes a second to breathe
Alone, and won’t answer the phone
When this man is fed up
The adrenaline starts to feel good
He takes it back to the hood:
“Now who else wants to bleep with Hollywood-Murff?”
When this man is fed up
There is sorrow in his eyes
Pain in his cries because he tries
But it just didn’t work, this time…
When this man is fed up
Its likely for something he said, did, or didn’t do

Don’t speak a word to him!
Don’t try to hooold and consoooole him!
Let him go, let him walk away…
Because the things he may say, will likely be regretted the same day
The same instant!
Just to relay, his frustration and pain…
Back to you
When this man is fed up
And reveals it to you
Know that he trusts you
Cares for you,
Loves you
When this man is fed up…
He needs you

The Disrespectful Princess By: Blessed Ebonie
*This poem was written after I was fed up with sinning and just ready to live my life
the way it was meant to be lived...and that's with and for God. I no longer wanted to
be considered a hypocrite but to be a pure example unto others and give myself fully
and completely back to God. I was ready to be His child [princess] again....*
Lord I'm sorry that I disrespected You
I confessed to be a Christian but wasn't always Christ-like
I Know I have hurt You and
Lord I'm sorry that I disrespected You
I didn't act like royalty or the child of The King
Daddy, I'm glad that You forgave Your princess
Lord I'm sorry that I disrespected You
I caused our family shame
I deserve my punishment
But, how long Lord?
Yes, I know You love me
Disrespectful me.
It aint cute or proper for a princess to be disrespectful
Therefore I had to change my means of respect that I dissed
I'm glad You took me back into Your loving arms as soon as I called Your name
Prodigal daughter
Did I really go that far? I don't know.
Lord I'm sorry that I disrespected You.
I love you Daddy!
I'm ready to be Your princess again.....

IF ONLY YOU’LL HAVE ME By: K-Jio
If only you’ll have me, you’ll arrive at the following evaluation
You’ll see that I would vow to protect your good name and reputation
No matter where I might find myself in life or location
Always encouraging your election and calling, and applauding your vocation
The space in my life I’ll have for you will be one of honor and rectitude
Esteem, integrity ... and the utmost in fortitude
But the only way for you to know for sure, you have to make this a must see
As I do the right thing even when you’re not looking, giving you every reason to trust me
I want the opportunity to show you faithfulness all of which opposes slander
I want the chance to engage you as you engage me in conversational candor
To accent each others strengths and to shore up each others weaknesses
To walk in each others likeness and appreciate each others uniqueness’s
Allow me to show you the truth of me, as truth is longevity
Give me the opportunity to prove to you my character and integrity
I promise to be every bit of man for you that I can be
I promise to be your object of fidelity … if only you’ll have me
If only you’ll have me I promise to share your conceptions
Your outlook, your tenets and beliefs, your rationale and perceptions
To bring about in each other an inherent potential to be evoked
To walk together side be side, and hand in hand, and stand together equally yoked
To be graced while in the propinquity of the Kings daughter
I want to stand together with you, like two trees planted by the rivers or water
That will ultimately … bear their fruit, in their season
And be to each other, one another’s rhyme and one another’s reason
To be regaled by a princess would be an honor and a privilege
Cordial company and congeniality … all with a civil edge
Just to sit and talk with you … to listen to your oration
Makes me want to bow to you, because I consider your presence an ovation
With a pure heart I want to love the ‘you’ that I’ve come to know
With pure thoughts, I’d like – through my intentions – come to show
With all of the principles and convictions that reach out and grab me
I want to be your helpmate … if only you’ll have me
If only you’ll have me that alone would make my heart sing
I’d wear the pride, dignity and esteem like a coveted gold ring
Of having you by my side … signaling an auspicious omen
Because the saying is true, besides every great man … is a great woman
You’d be the oxygen in the air that I breathe
You’d be the wet in my water, and the arm in my sleeve
You’d be the comforts of my consolation and the remedies of my relief
You’d be the hopes of my aspiration and the convictions of my belief
You’d be the thread in my fabric and the shine in my sun
You’d be the seconds in my minute and the o-n-e in my one
You’d be the one that I cherish beyond an affirming nod
Second … of course … to Almighty God
I’ll admit to feeling a little less than alone when we’re apart, at a given instance
I’d feel a little less than lost if you weren’t in my existence
I’d feel the handicap of a partially blind man who can half see
I’d love for you to be the sight in my vision … if only you’ll have me
If only you’ll have me I promise to be more of the person that you know and love
Kind, courteous, compassionate, encouraging … by and large, all of the above
To see you as you, as I have seen you … since the beginning
The words you speak that have me thinking, and your smile that has me grinning
I do realize that I’m putting myself out there in this manifesto of sorts
Not knowing your reaction to these words … your response or resolve and resort
And thinking to myself of the best ‘worse case’ scenario that can be founded in fact
If your answer is to friendship, and friendship only … I’d be fine with that
However, if your reaction and answer is as I hope it will be
As I wait with anticipation … and breathe ever so stilly
I will see sunshine and moonlight in a very different way
All colored with a new excitement … spurred by the words you have to say
Whatever you decide, to whatever bound … or to whatever ends
Whether it be a move to matrimonial commitments, or to that of lifelong friends
I will love you with an honest love that’s saliferous like salt, yet sweet like candy
I want to love you with forthright affections … if only you’ll have me

Inner View (Philosophical) By: Soultalk
I wonder if I could have an Inner View
Maybe give myself an interview
How much of me would I find to be true?
Would I be able to lie to myself?
Would I be able to find myself?
Would I be able define myself?
Would I be able to bring my emotions from the shelf?
If I was not satisfied with me, would I re- define myself?
I wonder how I would feel
Out of body experience to just observe me
My flaws and triumphs in plain sight to me
Looking within myself from without
On the outside looking in
Inbetween the connection of living
And where being dead begins
Is there such a thing?
I bet I would be my worse critic
I wonder if I would want to re- mold me
And start from the beginning
Sometimes we are in denial of ourselves
And need to take a step back and revise ourselves
Come to a rational about ourselves
So we can be better at knowing ourselves
Because deep within is where the true self dwells
So take a min and have an inventory of you
By giving yourself an

Love's Been Framed By: Paradox
It never hurts anyone
but its the lack there of, that causes all the pain
people think they find it, but are mistaken
so it gets the blame
they don't even know what it looks like
but they search frantically
some think they experience it physically,
some emotionally & others romantically
it want you as bad as you want it
but you pass it up to chase the dreams
then you get mad and hate it
after you discover what you've found, isn't what it seems
it never mistreated you
so y do you resent it?
cause someone used it's identity
when they said things and never meant it
so now loves the suspect
its thrown in jail and now its up for trial
the jury proclaims it guilty
when its been innocent all the while
the perpetrator was skillful & cunning
when they planted the evidence
and nobody's there to witness for it
so it has no defense
so its locked away in prison
no letters, phone calls or money on the books
it desires to be with you
not entrapped with all the crooks
this is no place for it
but this is where it will remains to be
until u learn the truth about it
and decide to set it free

Trend-setter's Challenge Freeversestylemix By: Synapticalist
This was a freestyle I was doing at that moment of posting and I was fighting
sleep so this is what came out with the sleep struggle So I hope this means I win
the battle. Im thinking about doing this on the my radio show but this was
something that kept coming at me this week so Im going to freestyle this little bit
here. Also I would like to reference lovelyshawan's We need an uprise and
Sincereknowledge's Drunken thoughts as reflecting while presenting this and yes
the last statement do have another meaning simultaneously sentencing together:
Trend setters
So you tell me that you dont follow trends
You tell me that you are not a trend follower, but you make trends so you are
trend setters
Well then, why is it that the trends havent change yet
Rather yet you want to change the game
I have a stupid question
Why are grown folks playing games
Games like kids, while our kids are indeed going out of control but with the right
examples not set
Then can only be in deadly result Ill bet
Anyway if we have so many trend setters, can we get one about respect
I mean, can it actually be made a trend to be respectable
To be original as the main principle
Basically, since there is more to women and men than money and sex
Here is what I call the trend setter's challenge
It seems that its about disrespect thats appear to be cool
Than the value and worth or real respect instead
How about making a trend about respect
If you set the standards like society acceptance
Can it be made cool to be about intelligence
Than to be acceptable to be about ignorance
Can you set the trend to be cool to respect our women
Let our males be gentlemen
If its the trend to be about unity
Can we be cool without the misogyny
Got my mind on my paper and my paper on my mind
Can we change the monetary paper in exchange for paper on mental growth
That really educate us on real financial growth functioning exponentially
How about exchange the monetary paper for the Scriptures on papyrus
Do we have to be killed
In order to be real
Must we glorify our endangerment into extinction
While claiming want to thank God whose is head of our lives but dont really
glorify Him
Remember the system's official have a wonderful vacation plan package
So they cant hold us down all the time when they are on vacation
Why, they have their servants and messengers doing the job for them
Their messengers and servants are packaged in a setup with our complexion
Know this, beef is the product of the slaughterhouse
So instead of hip-hop we became the beef
Industry are the consumers and we are the product they devour
Our heritageal ancestry is losing its power
Our souls are sold so possession of our individuality is not our
To be black gotta be ganstas
Or prancing like dancers
But instead of striving to get out the slums
They say to be better to stay in the ghetto
Than to be apart of the survivors that overcome
Many disrespect some
That strive to escape incarceration and captivity
To not accept poverty
We can be fooled by industry
They tell us what we want but its time for us to speak up and out
Its up to the trend setters to change the matter and contents
Also have to change the contents in broadcast presentations by presenters
But also supporting the change too
Producers and consumers have to make it a trend to be intelligent
So to black people can be publicly announced its relevant
Overcoming as survivors is the main theme prevalent
So from this presentation many claim to be on top
Claiming to be the best to be above all
Well, you may be strong and I may be considered weak
So I would like to make it a trend but my presentation are awkward and distorted
But you trend setters have access to public presentations
To be broadcast on many stations
You claim you aint never scared
If you aint scared, then I challenge you as you challenge me to make respectable
trend
So youre so strong then make it a trend to be cool and wise
As the black people to arise
To claim Christianity dont mean I have to be a punk
For that ship has sunk
But youre so good and Im not then
I change my trend but since people like you better then make it a trend to be
respectable
You try to stuff this crap in me
Stuff it elsewhere for I cant afford anymore Pepto-Bismal
Or antacids
Im deciding to follow my own path
Trend setters, is this gansta or real enough for you
Here is my final response
Stop infecting my space
And place with this foolishness
You want to get to Heaven
Then get the Hell out my face!!!

Tell Us What You Think!!
gotta stay true By: Joseph
i can't do you
only can do me
everybody is a critic
can you use the same mirror
you judge me by?
why you gotta knock
me down
everytime i try?
does my pain
bring you pleasure?
is that what it takes
to make you feel better?
challenge my wordplay
but do I dictate to you
what you should say?
freedom of expression
freedom of speech
free to define who i am
do you really think
your opinion means a damn!
can't play your stereo
become the type
with the hype
grab your purse
lock your doors
walk on the other side
hit the locks as i pass by
nig might jack ya
gun totin' now I shot ya!
so easy for me to play the role
rather be a writer
than a street fighter
last as long as my ink
you don't know me
i can't be you
but to me I gotta be
T-R-U-E!!!!

All About The Beat By: Park Heights
Can you hear that?
Sounds so good to me
You know I feel that
Almost like my heartbeat
Has its own spirit
The rhythm moves my feet
Every time I'm near it
Can't help but feel the beat
I just wanna groove to it
That melody soundin' so sweet
In the clubs...they move to it
Some try to be discreet
Even babies have been made to it
Y'all know of what I speak
Comes in many forms...the music
From salsa to the reggae beat
From that poundin' bass down in Miami
To the go-go in the DC streets
No matter how you view it
It's where the heart and mind meet
Cause after all it's just music
And it's all about the beat.
Can you hear that?
Sounds so good to me
You know I feel that

To the go-go in the DC streets
No matter how you view it
It's where the heart and mind meet
Cause after all it's just music
And it's all about the beat.
