Lemme Get This Off My Chest: I Got The Right To Be MAD

/

"You got the light, count it all joy

You got the right to be mad

But when you carry it alone you find it only getting in the way

They say you gotta let it go

Now tell em why you mad son

Cause doing it all ain’t enough

Cause everyone all in my cup

Cause such and such still owe me bucks

So I got the right to get bucked

But I try not to let it build up

I’m too high, I’m too better, too much

So I let it go, let it go, let it go

I ran into this girl, she said, Why you always blaming?

Why you can’t just face it? Be mad, be mad, be mad

Why you always gotta be so mad? Be mad, be mad, be mad

Why you always talking s**t, always be complaining?

Why you always gotta be, why you always gotta be so mad?

Be mad, be mad, be mad

I got a lot to be mad about

, Be mad, be mad, be mad"

Lemme Get This Off My Chest: These Dudes Ain't Loyal

/

You want me flawless

You want me patient and sweet

You want me willing

You want my honesty

You want me to be

Appreciative

Respect your space

Ignore your fears

You want spontaneity

A good girl and a freak

You want loyalty

You want something that you’re not, willing

To be

You want something that you’re not, willing

To be

Expecting me to be loyal

Expecting me to be faithful

You want something that you’re not, willing

To be

--Willing (interlude) by Jill Scott

I'm going to start calling this #TherapyThursdays because I always feel better after I get these things off my chest.

This week on "Lemme Get This Off My Chest," I try to unravel the enigma wrapped in a turd wrapped in ignorance that is Donald J. Trump, particularly his popular campaign slogan. What does he mean by "making America great again"?

Lemme Get This Off My Chest 3.0: I Hate Stacey Dash/Stupid People

Actress Stacey Dash showed her

whole entire ass on Fox News
