The Uprising of the Female (collection, part 2)

Here ye, here ye.....
Where my girls at, them boss chicks,
do whatever it takes at any cost chicks...
if a dude slip up she up and dips
and if a girl try to buck she ain't got time for it!
who stay on the grind,
working her 9 to 5,
just to stay alive
and keep the bills in line!


Calling all my ladies who go to school,
because you know its cool not to be a fool...
got them long nights, them long days,
sacrificing them parties just to make them grades,
doing what ever you got to do just to make a way...heyyy...I see brighter days!


Have you seen my grown women who gets it done,
no time for petty fun,
always on the run.
Hair 'slayed'
Face, ' beat '
Nails, 'flawless'
Appearance, 'on fleek'
got the men crawling & chasing just to get a sneak peek....
Heyyyy....where they at?!

The Uprising of the Female! (collection)

Get back, chill back
The Female energy is here and it is all that!
Got to get in the game,
forget fortune and fame,
that sure will come, but chasing 'it' is lame!
Now,
I sat back, observe 'ish'
watch 'The Game' reject the chicks,
I'm like saying to myself, "what's wrong with this"?
There is more to US than butts and titts!
Now, I'm not saying that there is something wrong with it,
But, I am sayin respect US ahora and quick!
While you sitting in the 'pin' during your 'bit'
we are out holding it down, keeping things legit!
We hurt too,
Bleed too,
hustle hard,
and watch things fall through!
However, we keep going,
no emotions showing...
with the world on our backs and nobody knowing!
We have to smile, stay pretty,
close our mouths and 'get busy'...
well let me tell you 'mister' that ish's not for me...
or the new breed...


'we're awakening now'! #new energy! 😉


Je'vah

Bright(er) Days!

I know like I know, my Blessings are on the way
I don't care what anybody say...
I feel 'IT' coming every day...better days,
peaceful plays,
sunshine and rainbows and 'fresh' wind blowing my way...
Oh Happy Days...
when the sky opens up
pour the blessings to overflow my cup,
more and more, I just can't get enough...of the
'Right Stuff'
to get it done
connect with my soul and most importantly
'The One'
The Creator,
The One who provides,
always by my side...
the perfect 'Guide',
the Food for my Soul...
The Great, which makes me whole...
loves me soo...
allows me to grow...
'Faith' is my tight hold...
The One, I won't let go!
because it has been with me through
the good,
the bad,
the happy,
the sad,
the UPS,
the downs,
the smiles,
the frowns...
stuck around,
planted my feet firmly on the ground...
keeps me in the Now..
the present,
so that I may be,
 The Best 'at the moment' that resides in me...
Oh, if the world could only 'see',
what I feel,
what I know,
that my 'Faith' is opening many doors and windows...
And closing many too.........


just enough for the Blessings to pour through!

Dear Parents!

Dear Parents,

Remember when we were working our 9 to 5,
long hours, overtime, BC we were the 'sole' person to provide!
Coming home tired, frustrated, aggrevated,
needing an outlet to get thru all the crazi-ness!
Looking for LOVE in ALL the wrong places,
clubs, bars, churches, strange faces!
Daddy's gone,
momma left to raise child on her own!
Holidays, 'true meaning' start to phase
NOW, its Only about what you gave...
fulfilling EVERY crave, just to pass the days!
Clothes with brand names,
however, children can barley spell their name!
Schools keep calling
Children running the hall AND
Can't keep still, SO give 'em a pill
that will help them deal...
And US too!
Well, NOW....I introduce those kids to YOU!
Enjoy!

Je'Vah!

Dear America....

Dear America,
I know you are probably wondering what the heck is going on..and so am I?! I often sit and wonder how we, as a country, as a people will move on! We have forgotten the 'creed' in which we are to live by! This is the country of the home, the brave, the free...lately it seems as if THIS is the country of the 'elite'!


Class and/or color seems like the only thing that matters! If u are rich you are the ish...if you are poor...get out my store! We have forgotten that we are all one and there is no victory for one until their are victories for others! Life will not be sweet, no one will really have a good night's sleep!
This country have become weak...There is no fresh baked apple pies, no one can run from the lies...the truth is being shown, NO ONE is entitled to the throne! The children are dying, politicians keep lying! The media is raising the babies, technology driving ppl crazy, slaved to the ego....everything we say, do, feel we must show...glow...get our followers to grow....taking pics brag & boast...exposing kids because of our stunted growth....arrested developments, never stepping out of our element...too afraid to be alone, to really mature to become full grown...pass on something other than fear...be slow to speak and quick to hear!
 What the heck is going on here...America is not the same...everybody point fingers to blame! No one wants to see the truth or deal with what is wrong with you!


Dear America,
where are the apple pies, the white picket fences, the baseball games...gone with the wind because of that separation 'thing' again! We try to help others when we are dwindling in hell, we try to 'free' other people when we haven't freed ourselves!
Class, color, race, power struggles, paper chase is all that seems to matter...even the Leaders have taken at a grab at it...the Ego and boy does it show! It's more powerful then LOVE...unity, community, and the saddest of all, The Most High... we believe money and power is the ONLY way to get by....but somehow I know that is a lie!
Bye , Bye Ms. American pie...please have mercy on us when you are finally fed up and rise!

Reality T.V...showing OUR reality...The Good, Bad, & Ugly!

So, I am watching VH1's ' new show, "Sorority Sisters", preceding my guilty pleasure show, "Love & Hip Hop" and my first reaction was to turn the channel, but the inner nudging persuaded me to watch so I did! The reason I did not want to watch at first is because I felt like "ugh, ANOTHER reality show depicting our culture in a way that clearly we would be embarrassed by"! And as I suspected so it was!


The women on their were very dysfunctional and immature. The level of maturity were unbearable, I could not believe it. I thought, how old are these women? After watching for relentlessly minutes I noticed how angry, back biting and desperate for attention they were, I immediately became pissed! I tried to calm the emotion, besides these women were not me, so why should I care! I already knew what they, sorority sisters were all about. I had experience many of them along my way. Most of them, in my opinion were very separated from reality of our people. I felt that they did not understand the poor black person or should I say forgot. I also learned that most of them come from poor backgrounds as well and have managed to receive an education, bond with 'sistas' and support and build wonderful and successful businesses! Somehow along the way, I felt they forgot where they came from. And although I am not saying that these women should not be proud of their accomplishments I am saying that as a black person who have reached levels of success could maybe 'show the way' not throw charity around!


 Growing up in a poor urban community myself, I understand the need for the community as well as others, however I understand more than others how it feels to have to 'ask' or 'need' something, the poor community is very proud! Proud not because we think we are too good to beg, but proud because we know how to make 'it' work, so when people come in that may look like us but do not sound like us, the guard completely goes up. It goes up because immediately following the voice comes the judgement..."oh poor little black child, let me help you but not teach you so you may grow" or better yet "let me show how to act in public, so we may prove to 'them' we have good manners"! I've watched the distance held between the 'sisters' and the poor black and it is a pretty big gap! Even though the gap is wide within our own culture, the prejudice is not! In the finest moment's the display will be shown! To a prejudice person in a position to 'be' prejudice will only and always see color and that is undeniable! Therefore I often wondered what was the point of the gap. I mean, we are more alike than different..rich or poor. We all have some experience to bring. The experience may not be the same but its the individuals experience and respect and openness is all that is required!


"The dark always comes to light", my grandmother would always say. I guess we can not desegregate for too much longer! The truth is being told, rich or poor... whether its "Real Housewives of Atlanta", "Love & Hip Hop" or "Sorority Sisters" it is all clear, the Black Community is in trouble! And not because of 'The Man' we simply forgot that WE are one and their is no victory until we ALL have victory...one by one...I mean REALLY what are we really fighting for?!


Peace & Blessings!
