Alright alright alright yall settle down settle down settle down.

If you don't know where you are this is STATISTICS 101

and I'm your teacher LYFE JENNINGS in the flesh baby.

Books out. Let's go!

25% of all men are unstable
25% of all men can't be faithful
30% of them don't mean what they say
and 10% of the remainin' 20 is gay



That leaves you a 10% chance of ever findin' your man
That means you better pay attention to these words that I say
I'm gonna teach you how expose the 90%
and show you what to do to keep the other 10.

Chorus:
RULE #1
Don't be a booty call,

If he don't respect you girl he gon' forget you girl,



NOW 2

If he's in a relationship

And he will cheat on her that means he will cheat on you.



RULE 3

Tell him that you're celibate

And if he wants some of your goodies he gon' have to work for it.



RULE 4

Be the person you wanna find

Don't be a nickel out here lookin' for a dime.



STATISTICS!



15% of all men got a complex

15% of all men dont practice safe sex

20% of them are from homes without a father

so there's a 50/50 chance that you'll marry a coward



Something to think about when you're takin' a shower

Something to swallow when you drank your bottled water



I'm gonna teach you how to expose the 90%

and show you what to do to keep the other 10



Chorus:

RULE #1

Don't be a booty call,

If he don't respect you girl he gon' forget you girl,

10 Things

'ten things I want to say to a Black woman' by Joshua Bennett

1. i wish i could put your voice in a jar. wait for those lonely winter nights when i forget what god sounds like run to the nearest maximum security prison and open it.
watch the notes bounce off the walls like ricochet bullets etching keyholes into the sternums of every brother in the room skeletons opening rose blossom beautiful to remind you that the way to a black mans' heart is not through his stomach, it is through the heaven in your hello. the echo of my ? galaxy that pounces forth through you vocal chords, and melts ice grills into oceans, baptising our lips, until harsh words fade from our memories, and we forget why we stopped calling you divine in the first place.

2. when i was born, my mothers' smile was so bright it knocked the air form my lungs. and i haven't been able to breath right since. its something about the way light dances off of your teeth. the way the moon gets jealous when you mock her crescent figure with the shape of your mouth, queen. you make the sky insecure. self conscious ? stare at your face every morning, and realize that the ? of her skin was painted by that symphony doing cartwheels on your tongue.

3. who else can make kings out of bastards. turn a ?? into a floor full of gifts in a kitchen, that's ????
and my sister, was a blacksmith. who when she put fire and metal and made kitchen miracles at 15.

making ??? to feed a little boy who didn't have the words to see how much she meant to him back then ???

4. your skin reminds me of everything beautiful i have ever known. the color of ink on a page, the earth we walk on, and the cross ?? saviour.

5. i've seen you crucified too. spread out on billboards to be spiritually impaled by millions of men with eyes like nails. made ??? of your daughters. so i'm sorry for the music videos, for justin timberlake at the superbowl, and the young man on the corner this morning. when you just want to shed your flesh and become invisible. never doubt, they only insult us because... men are confused. we're trained to destroy or conquer everything we see from birth.

6. if i ever see don imus in public i'll punch him in the face. one time, for every member of the rutgers and tennessee womens basketball teams. then i'll show him a picture of phylicia rashad, assata shakur, eartha kitt, my mother, my grandmother, my 7 year old neice whose got eyes like fire bombs, and then dare him to tell me that Black women are only beautiful in one shade of skin.

7. you are like a sunrise in a nation at war. you remind people that there is always something worth waking up to.

8. when we are married i will cook. wash the dishes, and whatever else it will take to let you know that traditional gender roles have no place in the home we build. so my last name is an option. babysitting the kid s a treat we split equally and our bed, where i'll construct altars of wax on the small of your back. we make love like the sky is falling. moving, to the rhythm of bedsprings and bel biv devoe and angels, calling to us. saying this, is the way it was meant to be.

9. my daughter, my daughter will know her fathers' face from the day she is born. and i can only pray that this superman complex lasts long enough, for me to deflect the pain this world will aim at her from the moment she's old enough to realize that the color brown is still not considered human most places. my daughter will have a smile like a wheelchair, so even when i am at my worst, when the cryptonite of this putrid planet threatens to render me grounded, the light dancing off of her teeth, will transfer the shards of my broken body into heart-shaped blackbirds, taking flight on wind that reminds me of my ???, of my daughters' smile, of my mothers' laugh when i was in her womb.

10. never stop pushing. this world needs you now more than ever.

Unthinkable

So this songs so speaks to exactly how and what I am feelings...All I can say is this is different, very different and I like it and it likes me...I'm Ready...I'm Ready to do the Unthinkable

Unthinkable
Verse 1:

Moment of honesty
Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say
You should say it right now
(Drake: You should say it right now)

You ready?

Bridge:

You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
(Drake: I deserve it, I think it deserve it..Let it go)
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
(Drake: I can't take it)

Chorus-Alicia & Drake:

I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready, I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready, I'm ready)

Verse 2:
I know you once said to me
"This is exactly how it should feel when it's meant to be"
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually?
If we gon' do something 'bout it
We should do it right now
(Drake: We should do it right now)

Bay, uh

Bridge:

You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
(Drake: I deserve it, I know I deserve it. Let it go)
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
It's what we make it
(Drake: It's what we make it)

Chorus-Alicia & Drake:

I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready)

Yeah, sing...

Hook:

Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me

Chorus-Alicia & Drake:

I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready, I'm ready)
If you ask me I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready, I'm ready)

Long GoodBye

Now after the events have occurred, it's time to say goodbye...a "Long Goodbye" at that...It's been fun, but I have to now let go. Someone once said that the summer offers a luxury that the fall can not afford (or something like that)...this is so true. Same goes for the Winter loves that don't last because of the Spring flings. Just in case that fits your situation, this should too...You can make it a Long GoodBye and Blame It On Me as long as we say goodbye...Can't continue to play your fool...Holla

Long GoodBye

Mmhmmmm.....

I say I love you
You say that's kind
You don't wanna get too close
You loved me crazy
I lost my mind

Listen...

You're everything I never wanted
And all the things I didn't need
This ain't who I wanna be
You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye
Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
Soft kiss, sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye

Yeah...
I cried in silence
I lived through you
I've given everything away
And maybe I can learn to fall
For someone who can give me all
The things I"m not afraid to lose

Whenever you see lonely faces
That's where I'll be
Don't cry for me, no no no no
Don't cry for me, don't cry for me yeah yeahhhh

Hey, don't cry for me, no no no
I'm gonna be okay
