Maya Angelo had utterance
grace her lips like gems
If they show you who they are
best if you believe them
The way they leave those hints
scattered all about
Don\'t be the last to know
the way its workin out
Did they say he was a playa
and tell ya they were kiddin
Say she\'ll take your money
and make you buy a ring and
They playing silly games
tryna mess inside your mind
I know it aint like I\'m a fool
I\'m just being kind
The way they are so jealous
don\'t even have a clue
The happy that i found
since the day that I met you
If there really are red flags
I wouldn\'t even see em
No time for hide and seek
anotha useful aphorism
That\'s all it really is
a game they play with words
It\'s not about our life
it really gets absurd
Happy with each other
that\'s all that really matters
Don\'t care about opinions
and other people\'s chatter
Whatever this may be
we\'ll find along the way
Another painful lesson
or maybe we will stay
To find that special person
the one whose meant for me
When it\'s said and done
I\'m lookin back to see
The way its all been worth it
even with the pain
If I did it all again
the lessons would remain
I\'d learn how strong I am
it\'s important to be grateful
Transgressions are forgiven
no time for being hateful
I\'ve got this life to live
I wanna make it good
Trudging through the angst
rainbows in my neighborhood
Not worried what they do
not caring what they say
All I ever wanted
to spend my life this way
Hurdles we go through
not knowing if it\'s worth it
Hang on to that faith
keep learning how to work it
The days keep adding up
turning into years
We pass another hurdle
alleviate the fears
It makes our bond much stronger
when we learn to trust
The partnership we\'ve built
not for them its only us
They\'ll always be some talk
tryna bring us down
We don\'t bother to react
the truth we\'ve always known.
They\'ll show you who they are
best if you believe them
The ultimate revenge
if you really need it
Live your live out loud
don\'tcha you ever hide your light
The greatest gem of all
is the love we have inside
