Lemme Get This Off My Chest: Don't Mansplain My Feminism
Ladies, has this ever happened to you? You comment on a friend's post and a (male) stranger thinks that it is okay to mansplain to you about why YOUR decision to do or not so something is wrong.
Check out the video below to find out what I had to get off my chest:
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
