The tears I cry are the words of my heart
But I lost my heart some time ago
And fighting to get it back
Seems like a losing battle
And we both end up with scars
Like Lauryn Hill
It was the ex-factor
You had that special something
That made me feel like no matter what
Being with you was a #win
But you had to change up the game
The weather is no longer the same
And I can't stand the rain
In July...
Holding on to what could have been
Would be such a sin
But letting go
Forces all the pain to just come rushing in
Unthinkable
But if you ask me
Unlike Alicia Keys I just dnt think I'm ready
To accept the Love Lost
Because I can't Be Where You Are
Or to accept my failure
But Holla If Ya Need Me
Cuz you'll always be my boo
Every time I reminisce
I think of Panties Dropping (only for you)
And My Neighbors Knowing Your Name
While you welcomed me to super, duper, Jupiter Love
But it was More Than That
We were one
One mind, one heart, One Love
I'm not the cocky type
But I gotta ask
Does (s)He Do It
Like I do it
Sorry that was my moment to be an ass
But can you blame me?
I'm heartless (literally)
And I've become cold
Like Yo Side of the Bed
Love is gone with the wind
So it's time for this special delivery of Black Roses
Ok I take it back
Maybe I am Ready then
See what I did there

I'm Focused Mann
I am who I am
I'm gon be who I be
From the Guyanese blood
running thru my veins
to the BK swagger in the way I speak
Paving the way for success
Taking the road less traveled
by those before me
My greatest weapon being my intellect
Sorry to disappoint you
But mama didn't raise no fool
I make it do what it do
Leaving my mark wherever I go
I think I should let yall know
Got my eye on the prize
Cuz I’m trying to maximize
The moment like TD Jakes
Maximize my profits
Like any capitalist corporation
In this day and age
So you can’t stand in my way
I’ve been enlightened
By Kanye when I heard ‘em say
Nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today
So I had to sit and think
Find myself
Lost in a sea of confusion
Until Mr. West came up wit my conclusion
Everything I’m not made me everything I am
And yes you can call me a champion
Cuz I’m living the good life
And there’s no end in sight
Mr. X was right
By any means necessary
I shall reach my destination
Even though some may think
The dream is lost
I’m here to restore your faith
You no longer have to wait
No need to wonder
Cuz just like thunder
Hear me roar
As I step thru the door
Called opportunity
I'm on a level all on my own
Holla if you can hear me
I'm gon be who I be
From the Guyanese blood
running thru my veins
to the BK swagger in the way I speak
Paving the way for success
Taking the road less traveled
by those before me
My greatest weapon being my intellect
Sorry to disappoint you
But mama didn't raise no fool
I make it do what it do
Leaving my mark wherever I go
I think I should let yall know
Got my eye on the prize
Cuz I’m trying to maximize
The moment like TD Jakes
Maximize my profits
Like any capitalist corporation
In this day and age

You no longer have to wait
No need to wonder
Cuz just like thunder
Hear me roar
As I step thru the door
Called opportunity
I'm on a level all on my own
Holla if you can hear me

Ambitious Woman
She's got style and grace
Life is a movie
And she's the lead actress
A stellar performance
She deserves an Oscar
But she's so much more than you can see
Worked hard and got that degree
Got that Ivy League brain power
That will bring any man to his knees
But she's the product of a SUNY
"Anything you want done
She does it naturally"
She makes life look so easy
She finds strength
Where most think there is none
She be killing 'em
And never will you see her sweat
In a suit and heels
Or sweat pants and kicks
She's saving the day
With that "S" on her chest
She knows what she wants
And her ambition will take her there
Miss Independent
She makes the impossible, possible
Ask about her
Every man wants her
And even with all her success
She stays humble
"Miss AKA
Miss Crimson and Cream
Miss unaffiliated
Whatever it is she's pledging her dreams"
Leaving her mark wherever she goes
The ambitious woman is a force
Ready to let the world know
She's a movement by herself
Ruthie B, Un belle femme ki sortie Ayiti. She's a modern day revolutionary. She detests mediocrity and she's trying to be nothing short of legendary. Do or do not, there is no try. She's an ambitious woman of DST making things happen. A woman of conviction. She's "so hip even her errors are correct."
My girl Angie bout getting money and she does so much more. Yams for days, and nobody can get in her way. Smarter than your average, she got a way with words. A DevaSTating Diva on a scale from 1 to 10 no question she's a dime.
Nickesha, an ambitious woman taking care of all those around her. Doing whatever it takes to make her dreams come true. She's going far but never forgets that she come from dung ah yard. The real life (Jamaican) Grey's Anatomy. Dr. Kelly is on call!
Prezzy does her thing. A good mix from the isle of spice and that sweet T&T. A fashionista with a mind like no other, she's ripping the corporate runway.
BP! And I aint talking bout the oil spill. Sweeter than Splenda and success is at the top of her agenda. With that Yardie blood running through her veins, they can't keep a good 'oman (woman) down. She's so solid as a rock they just can't stop her now. They'll never ever be able to take this ambitious woman's crown.
Regina has the voice of an angel. Natural screw face "but a smile only heaven can make". She got that cake! A beautiful mind and she stays on her grind.
Smilez got that wildcat pride. The female Johnny Cochran. Law & Order and she's the real McCoy. No matter the stress she never loses her joy. This ambitious girl is ready to run the world.
Scooby, an Alpha Kappa Alpha woman. As nonchalant as they come but she makes it work. Making history with the pink and green. Smart, she dress her ass off and her walk is mean!
Toya, got a sassy attitude and never takes less than she deserves. She takes initiative to get the job done. Got a waist like rubber, she's an obsessive whiner. This ambitious woman will always be relevant!
Phenomenal women
Phenomenally
Doing their thing
No one has swagger like ambitious women
Follow their steps
It's the road to success
Ambitious women
Ambitiously
Breaking the glass ceiling of mediocrity
S/O to all the ambitious women out there!!! Special S/O to the women I named in this piece, you all are great! Phenomenal women indeed!
