I Like My Coffee...Like I Like My Man

I like my coffee
Like I like my man

Black
Strong
Robust
Full of flavor
Lively
Deep
Vibrant
Hot
Steamy
With more caffeine
Than a drug dealer

That wakes my senses
And brings me alive

I like my coffee
Like I like my man
Exotic
Addictive
Potent
Lingering in my thoughts
Long after the initial introduction

Sturdy
Balanced
With definition
And variety
Chameleon like
Having the ability
To blend in any environment
Yet never looses it originality
Nor its essence

I like my coffee
Like I like my man
Giving me the “lift” I need
To make it through the day
Under any circumstance
So addictive, that I find myself
Wanting…..needing
Just a taste of him
Several times a day

I like my coffee
Like I like my man
First thing in the morning
After a shower
And sometimes before
To “wake” up my senses
And bring me alive
To journey on my way

Black
Strong
Robust

Vibrant

Yeah......
That’s how I like him.

Makes Me Wanna Holler (REVISED)

Makes me wanna holler That was Marvin’s song…. It makes me wanna holler The way they do my life Got my mind trippin from all this struggle and strife Makes me wanna holler Cause we ashamed of how we look thinking black is not beauty Yall better double check yo history books Makes me wanna holler Cause media tells us to be ashamed Of our kinky hair Long gazing stare Full plump lips And vivacious hips We got skin color wars Cause mine is lighter than yours Yet other folks is dyin From tryin to be kissed by the sun want to add a little color And yall think we on one Yeah it makes me wanna holler Can’t you see that we still slaves, Blind to poverty Makes me wanna holler Mama raised us all alone When all the while daddy was there living in the home my daddy gave the crack man his loyalty And the crack heads he did his drugs with was his family We sell that dope Rob other poor folks Hustle & pimp our women And forgot to teach our children Tryin to get that dime To by that gold & plat...
