men vs. women by: Jenai Dulaney

men & women are both one and the same
women just live from the heart
while men are guided by their brains.
see; a woman is brought up with love in her nature
and she'll make sure to have it before her last breath escapes her.
men are plain and simple, most are nonchalant
just respect them and be loyal; thats all they really want.
if women were more like men
and men were more like women
this world would be a better place
we'd all feel like we're winnin.
but reality has shown us...
SH*T WILL NEVER BE THAT EASY

you men want to complain about the gold diggin groupies
but flash all your cash & take pictures wearin Gucci
talkin bout your benz's & suicide doors
got girls ridin shotgun in some sh*t that aint yours.
if you would have took the time to look some women in their eyes
you would have seen from the beginnin all they saw were dollar signs.
so really who's to blame; is it YOU or these chicks
wana be known for what u buy; why you think you got picked?

ladies, ladies, ladies dont even get me started
runnin round screamin that every nigga is cold-hearted
maybe they treat you the way that you let them
you complain hes disrespectful but turn around & profess him?
as a woman i know so im just speakin the truth
we always givin that same excuse, "i just need MORE proof!"
you should know when to leave; you love him but that dont mean he'll change
got you callin other women you dont know out their name
well they know just as much as you and to them you dont exist
think about that next time; she might be an innocent b*tch.

instead of standin behind each other; we choose to break each other down
we define & demean - we talk sh*t & we clown
"that b*tch is broke" or "that nigga is a bum"
even if we aint got money the person we f**kin gotta have some.
quick to call somebody out on somethin they dont have
but if we get blasted we take it personal and get mad.
no one said life would be fair but we dont make it any better
rather worry about the next man and not have our OWN sh*t together

maybe yall wouldnt run into groupies if you pursued real women
and maybe yall wouldnt meet dogs if you paid more attention
when you find someone you gotta learn to set the bar
either we will be loved or we'll just be gettin f**ked
sadly, some of us never know which one we are.

ACCEPTION by: Jenai Dulaney

tonight i looked up in the sky and for the very first time
i had no questions & didnt bother to wonder why.
i told myself just accept things for what they are
like how i cant touch the sky but i should always reach for the stars.
that anything's possible if man walked on the moon
and to never judge someone if you havent walked a mile in their shoes.
that its better to give than it is to receive
knowin what you want aint exactly what you need.
as people we wear emotions that dont always agree
our gut feels one way that our minds refuse to see.

we try and build love with insecurity in our heart
but you cant build a house without bricks
the "he say, she say" will tear you apart
even more than the stones & sticks.

the longer i looked up at the beautiful sky
the more i understood the words of the wise.
by looking at nothing you can see everything
which explains why we close our eyes when we dream.
i take a daily dose of reality 'cause i dont mind the taste
life can be bittersweet at an indescribable pace.
here today but could be gone tomorrow,
take advatage, not for granted - pride should be swallowed

we try and build happiness with deception in our heart
but you cant sail a boat without wind
the "he say, she say" is only the start
but you are to determine where it ends.
