There Will Be a Brighter Day. . .

Erykah Badu- Didn't Cha Know




Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere
(x2)

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Tried to move but I lost my way
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Stopped to watch my emotions sway
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Knew the toll but I would not pay
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Cos you never know where the cards may lay

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

Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere
(x2)

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Tried to run but I lost my way
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Stopped to watch my emotions sway
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Knew the toll but I would not pay
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
I said ya never know how the cards may lay

Love is life, and life is free
Take a ride on life with me
Free your mind and find your way
There will be a brighter day

The Stills

Lovely (relatively) new song by The Stills. If you like this song, check out "Retour a Vega," "Still in Love," and "Killer Bees," which are some of their older songs.

Lie to me if you will. . .

The Fact Is (I Need You)

I can pay my own light bill baby
Put my own gas in my own car
I can buy my own shoe collection
I've been blessed thus far

I can kill the spider above my bed
Although it's hard because I'm scared
I can even stain in polyurethane
But some things just don't change

I need you yeah
Sometimes so hard to say uh
I need you
Some things remain

I can buy my own groceries baby
Get my hair tight my nails right
I can floss my own bling bling
Write the words to the songs I sing

I can even raise a child we'll make
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave uh huh
I can teach him how to walk and stand
But he needs you to help him be a man

Umm..

We need you
So hard to say
We need you
Some things don't change

I can be a Congress woman, or a garbage woman,
A police officer, or a carpenter
I can be doctor and a lawyer and a mother, and a good goddess
woman, what you done to me, good lover I can be
I can be a computer analyst
The queen with the nappy hair raising the fist
Or
I can be much more and a myriad of this
Hot as the summer
Sweet as the first kiss

And even though I can do all these things
I need you
And even though I can all these things
We need you
We need you, we need you
And even though I can do all these things by my damn self
I need you
I do, I do, I do, I do
And though I can do all these here things
I need you, we need you
I do

Let me tell you. . .

. . .how much I dislike stupid ho's who flirt and get all cutesy-wootsy with other girls' guys, when THEY THEMSELVES have a man.

Crap

I just found out that my graduate program requires me to take a test before I can take the required statistics course. Laaaaame. I suck at "entrance" type test/exams, so now I'm freaking out that I'll never be able to take this damn stats course, which I just want to get over with as quickly as possible because I hate math. Straight up.
