Git Off Me

Dear Reader,

Please accept my sincerest thanks for following my blog. This is my 100th post (six are drafted, but not officially posted just yet) so it is somewhat of a milestone along my writing journey. Enjoy.


The Queen's unshakable
resolve unbreakable
presence unmistakable
and those that hate me love me too…

Back up off me cuz you can't hold me down-- but hate my brightness, yes my greatness is too profound…

Git Off Me

Sometimes people do things that don’t make sense. Sometimes, people ask for the truth, but don’t really want it. Some still will use you, even if its nothing more than to make them feel better about who they are—even if who they are is a lie.

Its kinda like...
dropping clothes off at the cleaners, and then periodically stopping by to see if the items are still there
But never intending to pick them up, or pay the fare--
But you ask the clerk to stand there and reassure every time …
“Yes , they are still here, do you intend…” and then goodbye
Maybe I’ll retrieve them the next time I drop by
Maybe I’ll pay you for your con-vo
But that’s all I can do-- I gotta move pron-to
Got to keep busy, you know how I roll
Ain’t too much time to stop, but plenty to go, tho
Keep it movin’ then, and don’t look back
As a matter a fact, everything I once meant, I now retract
All once creamy white has now has faded to black
Stop tryna hand me a hair to hold onto your proverbial nut sack
You can’t change a lie into a statement-of-fact
So please let the door hit you square in your ass crack
The bullshit you speak leaves your lips chapped
I’m good with my family, and got a love of my own
You act like you know, but you only think you are grown
Real women and real men can deal with real talk
But when it came to the Real part, you got choked up
I hope the taste this work leaves in your mouth is salty
Cuz this is the Queen’s way of telling you to Git Up Off Me!!!
