What you get is what you see. . .

Some boys got the look of a Greek Adonis

Some boys try to talk you off your feet

Some boys think they're God's gift to women

Some boys think they're sweet enough to eat

Try to change the habit of a lifetime

Don't even try

Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing

You realise

Boys. Men. Whatever you like to call them. Whether you expect it or not, you come across people who like to try things on with you. How do you know that what boys or men are presenting to you is the real deal? How do you know that their intentions are genuine and whether it is worth entertaining? I am sure you have come across some Greek Adonis' in your time. What habit of a lifetime are you trying to change? Succumbing to the wrong types of partners? Why do we get fooled by the icing? Sometimes not all things sweet are nice.

What you get is what you see

Ain't nothing more to it

And if you want to love a woman like me

It takes a man to do it

If what you get is what you see

Then I don't want your kind of love

You might not want to put on airs or change yourself to gain the attention of someone else. Good for you! One of the hardest lessons you learn about yourself, is knowing how to be comfortable in your own skin. Sometimes as women we forget to make it clear to men what our standards and expectations are for being in relationships. We might get confused or get our wires crossed from time to time, but this is exactly why communication is important. What should they expect to see from you? The correct answer is - whatever the hell you want them to.

Some guys got lips that you can't help kissing

And some guys got a smile you can't resist

Some guys gotta build a reputation

They just want to add you to the list

You got a lot of physical attraction

I can't deny

But can you guarantee me satisfaction

While I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting

Physical attraction in a relationship is important. Sometimes it might be the start of a relationship, or the end of one - totally depends on how you are treated in that exchange. Who is trying to add you to their list? How can they guarantee you satisfaction? What if the satisfaction you are wanting from them isn't actually physical at all? But in fact, it's all the other things that mean so much more to you? What are you waiting for?

So let me see your cards on the table

Before I buy

I always read the writing on the label

So give me the reason to believe there's more to you than meets the eye

I hope that whatever season you are in with your life, that you are able to ask to see the cards on the table. Sometimes we get too wrapped up trying to be nice or not be a nuisance, but we have to ask for the things that we want, let people know what we want from a relationship. If they don't want to hear you, then it's time to focus on yourself and do what's right by you for a change. Until they are able to give you a reason to believe that there is more to them than meets the eye, you should reciprocate in kind . . . what you get is what you see. . .

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . . God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life. It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things. What people think of us. How we act towards said people. We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold. We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about. When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else. How many times have you been rescued? Did you ask to be rescued? Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you? Maybe yes. Maybe no. But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...

I smile. . .

You look so much better when you. . . I dedicate this song to recession Depression and unemployment This song's for you When you think about songs that have dedications at the beginning during the introduction, how does it contribute to the song? I often think about how those dedications speak to my own situation. We may all be going through some trials at the moment and nobody around us is none the wiser. I've often spoken about it to friends when we do that usual - how are you? The expected answer is - I'm good. But really we're not. Why do we do that to ourselves? We don't want to burden others with our problems or issues. Sometimes the flip side might be true and you have friends who dump their problems and issues onto you, but don't reciprocate. I hope people get to know you and what you're about. They need to see that they might be potentially ruining the friendship or connection by doing that. Today's a new day but th...

Closer. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...
