Ms Intentional (ode to Lauryn Hill)

A preachers words come with good intentions

Their actions could lead to misdirections

The fault of a priest could tear down the steeple

The sins be cause could bleed into the people

Oh I wonder why this life is such a contradiction

Full of parasites and pride, ancient mannerisms

Pharaohs and lies, is it all a fiction

Hebrew Israelites, Moses and the prophets wisdom

The road of Damascus, paved with tears of sorrow

Where is tomorrow? Under the Sun’s marrow

Ms intentional, please forgive my ignorance

All this time I haven't cried, Lord do I even try?

Ms Intentional, it’s been a long time since I cried

And I may never again, the tears are dried inside

If only you can help me relieve my stress and pain

I could be better to you, Ms Intentional

 

The road to riches is full of ego and destruction

The hope for kindness has gotten into obstruction

So many people lie, it’s like the world is paper

Flying through the sky, hit by the rain’s glide

Feelings sharp like knives, cut into my skin

Open up the veins, see the sins inside

Open up my heart, see where my kin resides

I can’t feel darkness, but I can feel the light

But they mixed up, I don’t know what is what at times

Is it Heaven or Hell, or just a state of mind

Ms Intentional, is your hate inevitable ?

I tried to be better, I tried over a several

But still you feather me with hatred

Is my life just a pebble

To the mountain that you climb

Am I just a rebel?

A rebel to your shrine

Deep under the stars that shine

Ms Intentional, forgive me for the manipulation

I’ve dealt with death before, it was bad situation

I never wanted to doubt you, but the Devil made me blind

I tried to save myself by kicking you outside

But he only got closer to your perfect creation

I know I’m just a guy where imperfections stay high

Ms Intentional, forgive me for my life

 

Oh ya, please just spare me this time

I know I’ve doubted you a million ways

But that cuz I am dyin’

See the moon in the sky?

That’s you, you’re personified

Beaming with the light

Casting warmth through the night

If I am not worthy, then don’t give me shine

If I deserve a death, let the Lord take what’s mine

Ms Intentional, I’m so sorry how you feel inside

Mad at the white man for his colonialism plight

If I could only change what happened in the past

It would mean that I was ignorant at last

 

Saul closed his eyes, opened them to creation

We’re all carbon with lives, what is God makin’

Are we just atoms combined

Or is there more to this life?

How did I kill you, Ms Intentional!!

You won’t wake up! Hello Ms Intentional

I swore you said you couldn’t die

But that’s my mind not seeing the signs

How do I wake you? Must I beam a light?

Or are you dead forever, due to my hand tonight

Will I be able to save you, keep you from the Hell

And if not there, then in Heaven on a shelf

Amazed by your face, I praise you Ms Intentional

And if I am crazy, my love is indispensable

Oh oh oh, My beautiful Ms Intentional

Coated with sunshine, to my absence of all

Of I could re do this life, I’d hope I’d never fall

Never fall, never fall

Ms Intentional—please forgive my words

A prayer on a verse, don’t stare at me with purge

I want to make you feel right, so don’t worry

If you do, I’ll be here, but I’ll be dead by the time you heard me

Ms Intentional
