Sell

It all started with a lip stick stain

my baby started actin wild

and passin blame

I said somethin kinda insane

like I ain't a brotha

with a ball and chain

and then

she started shakin her head like sistas do

I let her walk out

called her later on my Cellie

but the call just wouldn't go through

 


What's up my boy say

yo dawg

what up wit Re?

I say

efff that I'll call her later today

she straight trippin

whoa..hold up

could this be the tippin

point

yo Brah

pass dat joint

normally I don't imbibe

but I'm feelin kinda creepy

deep inside

like is my baby creepin

all them nights I thought she was sleepin

now I'm wonderin what

little dirty secrets she be keepin

 

It all started with a

Sell Fone

inter-ruption

damn this femme gotta

alotta

gumption

my mind is goin crazaay

gettin kinda hazaay

is she gettin a little sumthin

sumthin

is another

brother

squeezin on my bran muffin

 

I mean

she know how Janice is

all touchy-feely

but she got a husband and 3 kids

and

an brotha like me repsect that

I don't take a fizz in another

cat's

hat

now she got me feelin like an unwelcome

mat

I can't even represent the real

facts

not since she shook her head

like a sista do

been callin and callin

but my call just won't go through

 

Gimme another Henny-N-pineapple

save the rocks

talked up a femme

got her number

walked down the street

2 my baby's block

hope her car would be parked outside

hold up

I touched the hood

she just came back from a ride

should I knock

or should I go

do I do

Or don't wanna know

damn

I'm just not thinkin straight

2 many Henny's and it's gettin

kinda late

 

Sell Fone

inter-ruption

damn

this femme gotta

alotta

gumption

my mind goin crazaay

gettin kinda hazaay

is she gettin a little sumthin

sumthin

is another

brother

squeezin n my bran muffin

 

I go home

talk 2 the dog

put my sweat suit on

2 take a jog

hold up

lemme check my blog

man

this feels like another log

on my fire

trust and respect goin up like a funeral pyre

my one and only desire

would be 2

rewind

the time

place her hand in mine

and just chill

let her say what she will

but

when you see that shakin of the head

like sistas do

500 Sell Fone calls

ain't gonna get through

 

Walked back 'round 2 her house

saw 2 people walkin out

I shout

and she looks startled and scared

unprepared

for my diatribe

OH HERE YOU IS BLAMIN ME 4 ..ISH

and this

is your cat on the side

so

like an angry man I went with the hunch

dropped dude

with just one punch

my baby looked at me kinda sinister

shook her head

lika a sista do

cried and whispered

you just knocked out my minister

he was tellin me 2 stop assuming

and see things through

and accept a Sell Fone call from

you

 

Sell Fone

inter-ruption

damn

I thought my femme had alotta

gumption

my mind went crazaay

2 many Henny's made me hazaay

thought she was gettin a little sumthin

sumthin

I was wrong

and now I'll never again be sueezin

on her bran muffin

 

Man...let this thang fade

brothas, take it from me

the worse feeling in the world

is when you get played

by yo DAMN SELF!!!

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 07:32:00 -0800 SLEEPIN IN MY BED http://dgreaves.posterous.com/sleepin-in-my-bed http://dgreaves.posterous.com/sleepin-in-my-bed

Sleepin

Not about forgiving you baby..

I just cant get over the fact that you would believe

Someone has been sleepin in my bed

Lemme break it down..check it out

 

 

You woke me out of a sound sleep

Yelling something so damn absurd

Between your cryin

And sayin I was lyin

I couldnt get in a word

Someting about what some desperate fool said

A rumor that he heard

Now I dont blaspheme

But right here

Right now

May the spirits strike me dead

If anyone but you

has been sleepin in my bed

 

Look

I know men are prone 2 makin bad mistakes

but 

Come on baby

4 goodness sake

how can

you believe anything 

coming from that man

his plan

aint that difficult 2 figure out

okay...

the floor 

is yours

I refuse 2 speak 

over your shout

oh..i can speak now

I mean wow

baby..can still call you my baby

damn

a lady

like you

after all you have been through

We both have been

victims of the dating game

it is a 

new

zoo

revue

people  pushin 4 position

men hittin fast

women missin

hell you dont have 2 listen

2 my words

since I have been with you

check out my resume

that is all I have 2 say

and you will sho nuff see

you have been mislead

aint nobody but the dog

you bought me sleepin in my bed

 

 

Dig...

a man like myself does not have 2 lie

or even fabricate

so if you are comin at me

sayin I am bein a phony

then you are a dolla short

and a lifetime 2 late

I have been deep in the dating game

and 2 me it was insane

good women runnin 2 and fro

sleepin with nutty buddies

2 ease their pain

but

when your eyes met mine

I had 2 admit 

you were mighty fine

yet 

your mental is what forced me 

2 take a second look

I mean

we have just begun our book

and you provide

all I need

2 read

but much as I love you

I wont beg or plead

not when you have already

seen my heart bleed

4 you

 

Here you are

upset and grieving

talkin about leaving

over some loose lipped punk azz man

damn

hell yeah

I am hurt

Look

let me get ready 4 work

have a blessed day baby

I am 2 good of a man

2 have this dirt

thrown on me

one thing I have left 2 say

throughout this glorious day

think about that dudes reasons

4 trippin

I bet he wants 2 advance

and one day get into your pants

check it ..

plastic melts in the sun

and I aint the one

who has been lyin 2 you

so do what you gotta do

put me under a microscope

and at the conclusion

of this  intrusion 

on our love vibe

either you can walk away

or this shit has gotta be dead

cuz all I make love 2

is the scent of you

from 

sleepin in my bed

 

 

peace.. I am out
