Lyrical Conversations




Category: Life




I was listening the radio today which I rarely do, and I heard a song that completely spoke to me on so many levels. It of course got my brain spinning and I began to wonder why it is that songwriters/singers/rappers/poets seem to say the exact thing we want to say? because they go through the same things we do that’s why!


I went home and went through the songs on my laptop and found 5 songs that would make great conversations concerning 5 situations currently going on in life right now.

Lyrical Conversation 1: The Prayer Closet - Never Would Have Made It by Marvin Sapp (me as I worship with the Father)

Never would have made it, never could have made it, without you
I would have lost it all, but now I see how you were there for me

And I can say
Never would have made it,
Never could have made it,
Without you

I would have lost it all,
But I now how I see how you were there for me and I can say I’m stronger, I’m wiser, I’m better,
much better,

When I look back over all you brought me thru.
I can see that you were the one that I held on to
And I never Never would have made it

Oh I never could have made it
Never could have made it without you
Oh I would have lost it all, oh but now I see how you were there for me

I never
Never would have made it
No, I never
Never could have made it without you

I would have lost my mind a long time ago, if it had not been for you.
I am stronger
I am stronger
I am wiser
I am wiser

Now I am better
I am better
So much better
I am better

I made it thru my storm and my test because you were there to carry me thru my mess
I am stronger
I am stronger
I am wiser
I am wiser
I am better
I am better


Anybody better
I am better
I can stand here and tell you, I made it. Anybody out there that you made it
I am stronger
I am stronger
I am wiser
I am wiser
I am better
I am better
Much better
I am better

I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it
And I never would have made it
Never would have made it
Never could have made it
Never could have made it without you

I would have lost my mind, I would have gave up, but you were right there, you were right there
I never Never would have made it Oh I never
I never could have made it without you.


Lyrical Coversation 2: The Stand - Listen by Beyonce (me talking to my Mother...)

Listen, to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can’t complete
Listen, to the sound from deep within
It’s only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come
For my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all cause you won’t listen

There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I’m screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Bent into your own, all cause you won’t listen


I don’t know where I belong
But I’ll be moving on
If you don’t, if you won’t
Listen…

Listen, I am alone at a across roads
I’m not at home in my own home
And I’ve tried and tried
To say what’s on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I’m done believing you
You don’t know what I’m feeling
I’m more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I’ve got find my own.....



Lyrical Conversation 3: The Confrontation - Fool Of Me by Michelle N’deago Chello (me talking to "T")

I remember when you filled my heart with joy
Was I blind to the truth just there to fill the space
Cause now you have no interest in anything I have to say
And I have allowed you to make me feel dumb
What kind of fool am I that you so easily set me aside


I want to kiss you
Does she want you with the pain that I do
I smell you in my dreams
But now when were face to face you wont look me in the eye
No time no friendship no love
Dont say dont touch you I cant touch you no more
Cant touch you any more any more
I dont touch you anymore

You made a fool of me
Tell me why
You say that you dont care but we made love
Tell me why
You made a fool of me you made a fool of me

Lyrical Coversation 4: The Fear Factor - When I See You by Fantasia (they way I feel about the guy I’m interested in)

I put your picture on my mirror
Start to blush when somebody says your name
In my stomach there’s a pain
See you walk in my direction
I go the other way
I start to stutter when I speak
Start to stand but my knees go weak
What’s happening to me?
In the dark, can you tell me what it means?

I scribble x and o’s in my notebook
Checking how my hair and my nails look
I feel myself in a zone
I get nervous when you call
So I say i’m not home
I see your face
And I hear my favorite song
Should I send an e-mail at home?
You’re the number one topic on the phone
I wonder if you know or do you have a clue, yeah

Something now is taking over me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m not gonna run not
Just gonna stand here and see
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

I lay my head on my pillow
Staring out the window
Wish on a star for a sign
You’re the reason why

You’re always on my mind
When you come around I get shy
When I see you (See you)
When I see you

I never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you
When I see you



Lyrical Conversation 5: The Confession - A Woman Like Me by Beyonce (me talking to the guy that I’m interested in)

Do you think
You could fall for a woman like me
’Cause I find it hard to trust
I need too much
And I really don’t believe in love, no no
Do you think
That I could be the girl of your dreams
Sometimes I don’t let things go
Get emotional
And sometimes I’m just out of control

Do you think
That I could be the one that you seek
’Cause baby I’m one step ahead
You’re two steps behind
But baby I don’t mind
Do you think
That I can make you real happy baby
Just don’t get me wrong
My loving is so strong
But I ain’t tryna lead you on


You need to stop for a minute
Before you get too, deep up in it
(Too deep)
’Cause everything ain’t what it seems
It’s hard loving a woman
A woman like me
(Woman like me)
You need to think about it
Before you get hooked on the venom
And can’t live without it
(No no)
Can’t believe everything you see
It’s hard loving a woman
A woman like me



I would never say these things on my own!

Until We Read Again

Lifestyles Conversation...Take 1(Clack!)

Okay so while me and a few of my co~workers were in the breakroom early this morning, I began to tell them about this board game I bought. In this game there is a part where you have to tell the truth about whatever the next player ask you...it's sort of like "Truth or Dare"... but with a twist...and it's for grown folks...okayyyyy! Well One of the cards you can play is called "Lunch with the girls!" and it has several different open~ended questions on it. For instance one card might say: How do you... and then you have to fill in the blank...with whatever comes to your mind first, but it has to be something real true and honest. Well we played a bit of it during our break and let me tell you...them folks I work with are NASTY YA'LL! *LOL* They had me rolling...but it was all in good fun. I decided to do one and post it. Now I won't tag anyone to do one of their own, but I will encourage you to. It's a fun way of revealing just a little bi...

Okay so like the day before Thanksgiving my girl Belle (we call her that cause she loves to read books like Belle from Beauty and the Beast...plus she sings everything!) Anyway, she called me and told me she was going to her company's Pre~Thanksgiving party and she needed to borrow some really trendy shoes to complete the outfit wearing. Well this is how she said it ..."Danni, can I use a pair of your shoes to go with these new jeans I'm wearing to my jobs party tonight?" No class at all folks! Anyway, at first I was like (in the back of my mind) Hell Naw you can't use a pair of my shoes! Are you crazy? But then I sorta felt sorry for her and her new pair of jeans...I mean they deserve to be the hit of the party right? And what way to do that then with a fabulous pair of shoes. So I reluctantly said yes and asked her to describe her outfit to me so that I could pick just the right pair. She told me she was wearing this Seafoam green and Pink silk blouse and of co...
