2 Good 2 B True...Handle your biz...

This will be the last track that I share with you from the Cel-D's Album, "Who Iz Cel-D?". This one is: 2 Good 2 B True.  Let it mariante on you and feel it.  Go back to last Wednesday's and Friday's notes to read the other two tracks.  If you want more, you're just going to have to buy the CD yourself. Let's Go.

[Verse 1]
Hey girl, you know you have me from the jump. But knowing that, you still left me on slump.
Why the good dudes always get played for the punk, pray for you all the time and got you everything you want.
But when it comes to you holding me down you want to front.
It's like we looked so good on the outside, that it only looked good on the outside.
Until you started chumping me on the outside, now you in the brick house, and I'm outside.
And you won't even wave to me outside, you was my coat to keep me warm when I'm outside.
How my coat turn around and lock me outside? Now, my coats in the house, and I'm outside.
You gotta know it's real cold on the outside, I see my breathe, it's so cold on the outside.
My heart was chillin, and you made me bring it ouside, threw it in the mud, ran in the house and locked me outside.

[Chorus]
If it's too good to be true, it usually is, and if it's too bad to be good then handle your biz.
Ain't too many dudes good at handling his.
But it's too late to change when you're married with kids.

[Verse 3]
This some advice to the dudes, thats stuck in the same mess. Don't stick it out for time, convenience, or the sex.
You know her family and ya'll real close, but when the Lord speaks out, you gotta listen to the ghost.
Once you take that job, you can't quit or layoff, if you lose in the season, forget about the playoffs.
Marriage is full time, ain't no days off, so you better choose someone that you know gonna hold you down.
Cause when it gets real, you know it's going down. If you want a steak, don't settle for brown round.
Now I'm all for the grind, and working things out, but 2 years no compromise, homie be out.
If it's like that now, you figure the rest out.

That's that there. No such things as being too good to be true, but it can be too good. No reason to not appreciate it.  Like he says, if you're one of God's elite men, don't just deal with "good women"...you need God's Elite...cause when you going gets tough, being good ain't good enough.

Yea man...I can dig it.

Get right, or get left

Do Me Right...or I'm Leaving...

Another track from the "Who iz Cel-D?" Album, by Cel-D, entitled Do Me Right.  Go support. One more track on Monday, if you want more, go buy it.  Also go back to Wednesday's Post and check out "Blame Game".

Presenting: Do Me Right

[verse 1] Hey love, you saved and you so fine, you got me hung up like a clothes line.
Now how I run into that clothes line? Play your position cause I knows mine.
Give your heart and I'll expose mine. This is more than just some dope lines.
Them other joints was rehearsal, this is show time. I was on it for a minute, now it's your time.
My last love was tripping but forgot to pack. Now that's she's gone, she can never come back.
Cause she ain't pack enough to stay, but anyway,
the worse thing you can do to a good man is abuse him. He treat you right, you do him wrong, you confuse him.
He give you everything, you turn around and use him.
And when you finally escape your fears, you're ready and he's no longer there.
So if he stay when its just to get even. And before I get there, ma, I'm leaving.

[chorus 2x] Do me right and get the best of me. Do me wrong and lose what's left of me.
Cause I'm in it for the long haul. And that don't mean for you to slack off.
So come close or just back off.

[partial verse 3] Don't make sense to be praying together, if it ain't meant to be ya'll ain't staying together.
Force marriage anyway, and ya'll be stressed forever.
Spent all your time trying to be real deep, you never caught what the Lord cut in your face to see.
So you pull a "good mate" instead of God's elite.

Marinate on it, want more, buy the CD here...wait til Monday, 1 more track, and it's a good one...oh yea...

Blame Game - Not Daddy's Fault that You Aren't Trying....

This is just a piece from a song called Blame Game by Cel-D on his album "Who Iz Cel-D?" Not the complete song, but a good majority, may be more of a different song, same CD on Friday. I could have put this on my poetry blog, but I felt this was more appropriate. So read, take heed, share if you desire. There may be more stuff like this soon, so keep up, a little mini-series of notes, keep you reading.

[starting with chorus and second verse]
Why we can't just be in love, why we gotta play the blame game?
Love is easy but you make it hard to maintain.
You suppose to ride with me, why you think your name changed?
Blame me for your daddy's mistakes, now that's a dang shame.

Sometimes I would as a people, where would we be if Eve never ate that fruit from the tree.
And Adam would've been a man and said I asked you to cook.
While you're over there chillin with the slithery crook.
That's the power that a woman has over their man.
When we love them, we'll eat death straight from their hand.
I heard the sisters say ya'll wanna be a woman easy bake maid
But when the dude come up short, you wonderfully made.
And you ain't checking for no man unless you feel that he paid.
Drive a nice whip and got a 401K. If he ain't got that, then his battleship sank.
You want a brother thats a steak, when you only a frank.
With no ketchup and no bun, you just a plain ole frank.
You want help with your hustle, but won't hustle with your man.
If he's selling hot dogs, make a sign for his stand, if he working sanitation, help him flip them garbage cans.
Pray for him, even if you don't understand. Even secular artist learn to cater to their man.
But you standing at the door with a open hand.

Why we can't just be in love, why we gotta play the blame game?
Love is easy but you make it hard to maintain.
You suppose to ride with me, why you think your name changed?
Blame me for your daddy's mistakes, now that's a dang shame.

Now some sister's hear this rap and they mad at the fact,
that's I'm coming at them hard, all through this whole track.
But I never said your name, so who's really to blame?
For the fact that this rap exposed your whole game.
You got this whole real woman facade down pat,
But the way you treat a real man is really so whack.
I ain't leave when you was two, I ain't responsible for that.
Put your pride to the side, call your dad and holla back.
I'm an honest man of God, I ain't trying to diss you.
But your pops probably left your moms for tripping just like you.
And when he tried to call and talk to you, she wouldn't let him through.
So you spend the rest of your life, blaming that on dudes.
As a brother, I never saw my pops, didn't like my mother.
But that ain't no excuse for me to treat you like them others.
Never had a blanket, but expected to share my covers.
Then you start yapping, like ain't no good men out here,
Cause you done scared them away with all your childhood fears.
Every good man you meet, you take for a joke. See, I take ya'll so serious, that I take notes.
Do you know what type of demons ya'll sisters provoke? I don't condone it, but I see why his hands was on your throat.
His mama hate him, cause he act like his pops. And no you play him, cause you mad at your pops.
For you, he gave up a rib, look how fast you forgot.

For sisters and dudes, blaming how they are on their experiences with their parents.You gotta get rid of all that garbage so you can move forward in your relationship, and break all them generational curses....

Be blessed.

When the Time is Right...

Each and every person can agree with the fact that they are waiting for something, wanting something, or preparing for something. The problem occurs when we want what we THINK we deserve, immediately.  Well I am here to tell you, the time that you want something to happen, may not be the appropriate time for it to happen in your life.

I think of this on a concept of readiness. For example, many women have this idea that they want the perfect man to walk in to their life by the time they finish reading this blog.  But how can you expect the perfect man, when you are yet to be the perfect woman? You have not gotten your life ready to welcome in the person you desire.

Maybe it's a new job, or a promotion at your current job.  It's just not your time.  Now I could get religious and say, it's not your will it's God's will, but you know that already. There is a proper time for things to happen in your life, so get faith and patience and allow the things to work in there own time. Else you may create disaster and destroy something that you weren't ready for in your life.

Pray.
