wow here i am 2023 . I probably watched this when I was younger and here i am 30 years old and my generation and younger ones need this kind of stuff back so bad.
I can't get enough of this, even after all these years. I love the feedback from the crowd, especially from the women. The way they all say "hmmmm" when something nice is said... :)
What’s crazy is I actually lived through this! And I feel Sis everywhere. Thank God for healing and moving on three years ago I was a mess that man did me so dirty it was insane! We were more than friends I look back on that situation now although I have a daughter from it I am a single mom and happier than I’ve ever been. I will never look back at a man like that. I know I deserve better.😊
You know this!!! Thats why we need the husband first... This poem & Tisha Benson's He Called It A Blessing, speak truth... commit first all the rest come beautifully after... Love thiss
That's an example of good self reflection right there. She blamed herself for the time she wasted & now she know better. BEAUTIFUL!!! I love this. I'm gonna show this to everybody!! lol
man i agree with her, sometimes we give ourselves and our closest keepsakes to a man thats not ours, we get so caught up in the fantasy and the fake image that this man is now apart of your life and belongs to you, but in reality...stray dogs dont belong to me nor you!! lol smh in every relationship its important to know in the beginning where you stand, so you never get your feelings hurt in the end!!
Love the part where she says she was a friend, not a wife, and should have acted in that capacity. That's wisdom!

The self-reflection in this poem is outstanding! A man can only do what u allow him to do
Real talk This type of free poetry and battle rap are the best forms of poetry. The way they string together words or ideas is just amazing

This described an episode in my life so well that this poem brought me back to life.

danas words are so powerful
She is so in tune with who she is and where she wants to take the listeners
so easy to relate to,,,,which is all simple, yet prfound poetry
"And all that time i spent mad at him, hell, i shoulda been mad at ME"
