Tell Him Your Sorrow { Pt. III of JioVanni's Prayer }

What’s my sorrow?

My sorrow is the hypocrisy of the world, my sorrow is the female who dresses like a stripper & is shocked when she is not treated like a classy girl. My sorrow is the women who bash 90% of men when they get 1 dog. It’s not enough that society hates us, but now it's our own women havin us flogged. My sorrow is pain, my pain is sorrow, pride makes it hard to ask when I’m in need of something 2 borrow. My sorrow is gossip, double talking & lies, my sorrow is when the shine goes to the flashy & none to the hard worker who actually tries. My sorrow is how people think they know true Hip-Hop, but they would rather dub it than run to their local CD shop. My sorrow is a mind that thinks of sex too much, my sorrow is pimps who degrade women & have the audacity to commit blasphemy when they say, “Chuuuch!”

To be truthful my sorrow is the church…

Who is this pastor that is SUPPOSED to bless me, he’s just another version of the same salad, but only difference is he’s got dressing. Who are they to damn people who don’t live the life You prescribed, I know they’re wrong cuz you forgave the worst when the guy was on the cross by your side. My sorrow is perfection being associated with white. Let me tell you what I dream of when I sleep @ night. I dream of the black duck that is considered ugly, I dream of a black Christmas, I dream of a black Santa but he doesn’t exist so let me scratch out that wish list. My sorrow is a dream of a loveless marriage, & the only unity they have is in a baby carriage. Speaking of marriage… My sorrow is people who don’t take it serious, like these people on Facebook, they MUST be delirious.

You are not married until you have a ring & you are standing @ the altar, maybe it’s just a bullshit attempt to keep the hope that your relationship won’t falter. You all who do it are a joke. To say you are married when you are not disgusts me & you might as well have been the one by whom Jesus was poked. Go ahead though, keep playing, you’ll see when your sorrow starts duplicating. “We married!!” Then before you know it, you are a single mother cuz you wanted the treats of marriage & now in church it’s your name they disparage. Don’t worry about them though, tell Him your sorrow. Who am I to say anything about your relationship’s FAKE marriage?

Well… I did it twice & some pain from it I’m still carrying. Naturally, we flock to what is worldly that pleases us, but why tell them when you can tell Jesus?

**Fueled by passion, driven by pain before I die the world will know my name**
