I want you and wonder if you want me in the same way
Someone I will be with forever and a day
Someone I can hold and tell "Everything will be alright."
Someone I watch sleep in the middle of the night.
The One I...
I want you and I believe that you know
I think its obvious the way we talk on the phone
The way we say things ought to be
If this is true, then why am I so lonely?
The One I...
I want you and you say the same
But I always wonder if it's just a game
Who will win this game of love and war?
I ask myself "What are we really playing for?"
The One I...
Is it lust, great sex, or a relationship that I need?
I tell you straight up what I desire but you only read
Into what you want and that is your decision
But are you realizing that you are...
Let Me Ask You Something © 10/27/97 NMT
Everything is just fine, we're chilling and we're high
But things change like you're reading my mind
You motion for me to sit closer to you
And I do, me being the fool
But me, myself, I'm shy and uncertain
If you are just playing with my emotions
Whether you really want to go through with it
Or if you are just testing yourself with the shit
"Could I try to come on to her?, What would she do or say?"
But you answer yourself "What the hell, it's just a lay."
So you approach me saying "Yeah, I can"
I respond back "Yeah like whatever man"
Its not that I don't want you, that's a damn lie
Cause if I was more aggressive I would say "Yeah, I'll give you a try"
But you have a girlfriend and you seem like you love her
So I will flirt and trip with you and won't even bother
to fuck with your so called relationship
But ask me that shit again in a different moment of time
and I'm pretty sure that You would get it
The Last Poem © 11/19/99 NMT
Been on this campus for such a long time
That's alright though, cause I been going for mine
Trying to get out of this establishment called the U of I
I'm finally almost done, Thank God, in December of 99
This race I been running, things sometimes get in your way
On probation forever, early morning classes, hell what can I say?
People tricking off on you for playing your music
Can I do this?, Hell, I pay my rent
These are all bullshit excuses if you ask me
Cause U of I ain't stopping me from getting this degree
Some people don't want us here, Racism and Discrimination are alive
Just today some White girl didn't want to step to the side
So she got a shoulder to shoulder hit cause I didn't budge
She says "OH I'M SORRY!", I look back, keep walking, and shrug
Oh I'm supposed to move out the way, bow and cow-tow?
No I Don't Think So. I'll have to do that when I leave this town
To get a job, a career, a good salary, some ends
To get a car, 401K plan, and move out my mom's crib
Let me talk about the Chief, That's a sticky situation
How would you like a Black person on the field eating chicken and watermelon?
Its about that all mighty dollar, Its not about respect
Mayor Harold Washington in lingerie on canvas, Remember that shit???
Leaving this artificial environment, gotta go, be out
Gonna cross the stage, Give thanks to God, and Give a shout.
Disclaimer: White people are cool with me...I just didn't feel like stepping to the side that day. -NMT
