Can't Keep Saying

Sorry Ya'll

By Rene'e L. EllisPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I’m praying ya’ll, I’m Praying yall

But can’t keep saying I’m sorry ya’ll!

I’m praying ya’ll, I’m praying ya’ll,

But can’t keep saying I’m sorry Yall!

Bending knees you keep me deep,

watching and waiting as you creep, creep, creep.

I weep, at times when not able to sleep;

But You just want to creep with your peeps!

Training days turn to whining ways,

Pulling out the hairs and minimum wage

All is shamed while watching and waiting for my pain

The Turn up is real, as your only road gets polished and paved.

High level angles, drumming drums and spinning their wheel

Supposedly trying to convince me that this life is surreal

Preening and prompting, as your pushing all the buttons

Don’t you see, have you not heard, there is more to this bumping?

Pop, it’s in, pop, it’s out, pinning their tails cause everyone to stops.

Time is up, clouds are no longer building, watch its gathering for the big choppin’.

It’s filling all spaces, leaving no traces, cause many of you is totally mistaken

No matter what you think you know, you can’t make the bottle top cap stop poppin’.

I was praying ya’ll, I was praying ya’ll

Time is over, I’m just saying ya’ll

Standing tall, no more shame or blame at all;

Forgiveness was given, it’s time for the risen to answer their Call.
