Dreams do Come True
You study hard, are responsible, and do good work
But still you look for love, wonder where it lurks
You've met a few cool cats, but a lot of jerks
And now you ask yourself, where are the perks
Being a single black female doing her thing
Educated, making money, buy your own bling bling
Kicked it with a couple of cats when you were back in school
But now you're in the real world and this shit is cruel
It's hard to find brothers that are even on your level
A single smart sexy devil leaving fellaz disheveled
With brains, beauty, and body most cats will agree
You're a scary proposition, but they're not me
Even though you got it all I've got something to give
Something that's very rare in this life we live
Of course it's gonna cost because nothing's free
But all I ask of you is to trust me
With your passion, your fantasies, and even your fears
With the secrets you've hidden for so many years
With your pride, your shame, your sun and your rain
With all the thoughts and feelings going thru your brain
And there's no need to fear having your heart burned
Cause everything that you give will gladly be returned
If you can trust me with your heart, and all of the above
You can have my greatest gift: Unconditional Love
You may not believe these words, but I hope you do
Because you gotta have faith that dreams do come true boo

Never Give Up
I know the road is hard
But keep your head up
Even though the path is rough
There is an end
And know that along the road
You have a friend
So when, the burden seems heavy
And you're full of despair
If you feel you can't do it
Just remember I care
I know how you feel, and I'll always be there
To hold you, comfort you and ease your fears
To dry your eyes when they're filled with tears
Don't let the pressure make you panic
When your plans go astray
While your fake friends flee
I will never go away
Never give up, when the struggle gets bitter
Remind yourself that God hates a quitter
You're a beautiful, strong, intelligent black girl
Trying to make her mark in this white man's world
I believe in you, and everything you do
You can do anything you put your mind to
Just study your lessons, you'll find the answers to your questions
Try not to be scared, just do your best to be prepared
And when you feel stressed, remind yourself that you are blessed
You'll pass the test, and things will go just as you planned
You're one of the best, and I'm your number one fan
So when the glass seems empty in your mental cup
Fill it with my faith in you, baby never give up

Do you Really Wanna Dance?
Up in the club I got my eyes on you
Got damn sweetheart you got some thighs on you
But I'm not trying to take you home, unless I get the chance
Naw honey I just really wanna dance
Maybe can we share some romance on the dancefloor
If I see some chemistry, maybe I'll want more
If not I'll understand and move out your spot
But right now I think you're hot so show me what you got
Don't be going thru the motions looking bored as hell
Avoiding eye contact cuz baby I can tell
You like a certain type of nigga, and I aint the one
But you chose to dance so at least have fun
Let me take you by the hand and twirl your body around
Let me look into your eyes and speak without sound
Let our bodies do the talking to the thump of the beat
Till our instincts meet and we move in sync
Though we may not be a match, let's pretend for a while
I aint asking for your number, I just want a smile
So do you want to have some fun and put your body in a trance
Be real with a nigga, do you really want to dance?
...(Scene 2)
I see you standing at the bar, wondering who you are
Hoping I can get your number, if I make it that far
Walk by close enough so that I catch your eye
Then you give me the look that lets me know your hooked
So I step to the plate, hoping I can be the one
Who can stimulate your mind, ask you are you having fun
You reply shyly that this aint your thing
You don't really like clubbing, just decided to hang
With your girls tonight and not your man for a change
In response I rearrange my whole point of view
Aint no pressure cuz I can't really holla at you
So I try to play it cool and say he's a lucky guy
Though I got this funny feeling that I can't deny
I hear a song for this situation playing in my mind
"Why are all the good girls taken every time?"
I can tell you're feeling me, but this aint meant to be
So I leave you with my card hoping for a second chance
As I say, "holla at me, when you're ready to dance"
...(Scene 3)
There you are standing all alone, near the dancefloor
Smiling at me, like you wanna dance and more
I approach with confidence, cuz I'm almost sure
That I'll have better luck than with those girls before
You introduce yourself, as I stare and smile
I haven't had a female pick me up in a while
You talk for a while, then lead me to the dancefloor
In my mind wondering what you have in store
You start shaking your hips all over the place
As you get up close in my personal space
Then you turn your back and wrap my arms around you
Letting my fingers do whatever they wanna do
Then you ask my age and I ask you
I say I'm 22 and you're...32?!
Got damn! Aint that a bitch, gotta switch my plan
Since you fine as hell a nigga couldn't really tell
If you smell what the Rock's cooking
Right now I'm looking, at the possibility of me getting with you
The chemistry is there, but fuck that what could I do
To impress a chick with age and experience too
So I'll let you leave without taking a chance
If you were ten years younger, then we really could dance

My Black Queen
Looking back, from my adolescent years till now
My black queen has been there helping me somehow
When I needed someone to lay my burdens on, you were there
To calm my fears and to lend me an ear
Over the years we`ve been close, and even when we`re apart
I keep in touch because you`re always in my heart
From high school to college, plus the summers in between
From NJ to Cali, you`re forever on the scene
I`ve met you thru friends or sometimes by chance
There was often chemistry, but never romance
And circumstances guaranteed that it would stay that way
We`d hang out for a while, then be separated
Just as we got to know each other, and I`d always hate it
Either I had to leave or you just couldn`t stay
I wonder where we would be if we didn`t go away...
Anyway I chose today to reflect on the past
On friendships with potential, that didn`t last
Even though we split apart and we haven`t kept in touch
The memories of my queens really mean so much
From moments we shared and conversations on the phone
Or sharing email when I felt alone
To seeing you walk with you style and grace
Or watching you smile with your beautiful face
My feelings for you will never be erased
You`re all special to me in a different way
You were the sunshine that brightened up my cloudy day
Apologies for the things that I didn`t do right
And thank you for inspiring me to write
Though we`ve gone our separate ways, and I`m no longer there
I will never forget you, and I`ll always care
