My Love Jones
I fell for a boy from Queens
His voice took over my heart
His face occupied my dreams
But me on the west, so far apart
To tell him how much he means
Writing my feelings down I’ll start
Although he’ll never read it
He’ll never truly know
He’ll never understand how it
Will help me grow
To listen to his lyrics, sit
Contemplate and feel his flow
I nicknamed him My Love Jones
But as I grew life came along
And situations left me all alone
Then this Hood Jones came with a song
I thought how could he have known
I didn’t know then but choosing Hood Jones was so wrong
8 years of my life invested in the wrong man
Thought Our love was enough
For him I always took a stand
I stood down, stood tall when it got rough
A lifetime together was the plan
But I’ll say, My love wasn’t enough
I was the realest he’d ever find
Love unconditionally AND cook and clean
Get my own money, I grind
Yet he didn’t see me as a Queen
From the position I resigned
Now with tears in his eyes he begs to reconvene
If I could go back in time, rewind
If I knew then what I now see
That path of destruction I’d leave behind
But I couldn’t because my seeds wouldn’t be
If only love wasn’t so blind…
Starting all over from scratch, mother of three
Strong woman I’ve become
Back to me and fighting to believe
In love again without being dumb
Next time I don’t wanna have to leave
So I’ll stay real, stay fly and not look for my future him
Stay motivated so greatness I’ll achieve
Just when I thought life might be too hard
My Love Jones said, “She blew a good thing”
I knew that all too well, I too, was scarred
But I didn’t want the money, the house, or the ring
Next time for love I’ll hold a higher regard
Because our lives and hearts we’ll BOTH be dedicating
I appreciate time and destiny
Although My Love Jones may never find his way to me
The married life, fam and kids, I foresee
I left behind all of my debris
And God already gave his Son to me, Guaranteed
Focus on The Good Life, foundation of an oak tree.
