Bag lady you gone hurt your back


Draggin all them bags like that

I guess nobody ever told you

All you must hold on to

Is you, is you, is you...

-Erykah Badu

Time to save the world


Where in the world is all the time

So many things I still don't know

So many times I've changed my mind

Guess I was born to make mistakes

But I ain't scared to take the weight

So when I stumble off the path

I know my heart will guide me back

~Didn't Cha Know, Erykah Badu

I done been through some painful things

I thought that I'd never make it through

Filled up with shame from the top of my head to the souls of my shoes

I've put myself in so many chaotic circumstances

By the Grace of God

I've been given so many second chances

But today I decided to let it all go

I'm dropping these bags I'm makin room for my joy

~I Choose, India Arie

And I thank you for choosing me


To come through unto life to be

A beautiful reflection of his grace

See I know that a gift so great

Is only one God could create

And I'm reminded every time I see your face

~ To Zion, Lauryn Hill

I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain


Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away

There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before

There's a quiet storm, I think it's you

There's a quiet storm and I never felt this hot before

It's givin me somethin that's taboo

~ The Sweetest Taboo, Sade

I touched my belly overwhelmed



by what I had been chosen to perform



But then an angel came one day



Told me to kneel down and pray



for unto me a man child would be born



Woe this crazy circumstance


~ To Zion, Lauryn Hill
