RAWHOUSE ROW-DIVISION OF RAWESSENCE RESEARCH & SISTAH'S WORLD CREATIONS
ALL OR NOTHING

I’m feelin’ you but do you feel me?
Kaleidoscope of emotions pulsate in my veins

Can we talk about the women in your life?
You pack away your emotions, like a suitcase full of clothes
Who am I? And where do I fit in?

Your name has been taken, your firstborn is a teen
Your cousin’s the one that mothers your kids
and makes sure your house is clean.
“Friends” do your homework, so you don’t give up on school
If I thought for one second
that no  payback’s expected
then, i’d certainly be the fool.

Can we talk for a moment? Are you feeling me yet?
I’m willing to give all that I have to give, but can you
give me what I deserve to get?

Who am I love, tell me where I fit in!
Should I only provide what the others can’t
And hold my heart within?

I’m an all or nothin’ lover,  
Won’t slow my flow for ‘in between’
Won’t be a second consideration
To other women on the scene.

I am the mistress of my creation
I am the woman in my home
I won’t trade my throne for make believe
I can rule my world  alone

Are you feelin’ me yet?
Do you want to talk?
