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

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,

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

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
