Assertive Lyrics
[Intro:]
Damn, Why ya'll talk about assertive yo?
Ya'll didn't know me, said ya'll niggas didn't know me

[Verse:]
Assertive what must I do to be hired in the field
I went to school to be a computer tech, everywhere I go they judge me
Is it the way that I carry myself? They say I don't have experience
How can I, ya'll won't give me a chance in hell

[Chorus:]
Assertive I've got much to give let me live
Assertive I've got talent and I know I'm worth it
Assertive I've got to overcome this monkey on my back
Assertive I need to get my life back on track

[Verse:]
Oh well I've got questions and nobody out there have the answers to tell
Ya'll upset me you make my head swell I've invested fourteen grand
Ya'll won't help me man how much assertiveness must I show
If I was white or yellow bet ya'll would hire me quick, this is a bunch of bullshit

[Chorus:]
Assertive I've got much to give let me live
Assertive I've got talent and I know I'm worth it
Assertive I've got to overcome this monkey on my back
Assertive I need to get my life back on track

[Verse:]
I've had it with the corporate man ya'll just don't give a damn
If I was a light skin black man my chances would greatly increase
But ya'll don't know I am a dark skin black man ya'll don't have a heart
I speak my mind I won't be quite don't make this man start a world wide riot

[Chorus:]
Assertive I've got much to give let me live
Assertive I've got talent and I know I'm worth it
Assertive I've got to overcome this monkey on my back
Assertive I need to get my life back on track

[Verse:]
I try so hard to live an honest life but at this rate I have to live a life of crime
Seems to be the way to go if you want lots of doe the sun will come out tomorrow
I really hope so as long as I have a voice I will remain to flow in the perfect world
I would be married to an Asian Ho, don't get it twisted Ho is short for honey
I ain't tryning to be funny
Caring for you
First time we met I didn't know what to expect
But I digress
Didn't take long to form a bond. Ever so strong word is born
Was it your eyes or smile, perhaps it was your charm
You're just like me no matter the scene you remain calm
But you do know how to push my buttons
I'll de home day dreaming all of a sudden
I've you on my mind, as the day goes on it
Seems you stay in my mind all the time
You're strong, gentle, caring and kind
People like us are hard to find, close friends are hard to find
You make me reveal the inner me and it drives me ah so crazy
But that's not a bad thing, I was about to say something but T.M.I.
Though I try to hide it's not possible so I swallow my pride

[Chorus:]
Caring for you is caring for me that's the raw truth reality

I'm completely free to be myself when I'm with you no need to hide anything from you
Where have you been you're the one I've been waiting for I feel your presence whether near or far
Emotionally you get to me, you know me and still chose to like me you make me feel happy
You express yourself to me and that's how I know we are meant to be
Time and time again you are my very close friend
You tell me the things that others are afraid to say. You see past the rough side and you see the soft side I try so hard to hide I swallow all of my pride
