This LL Cool J hit is still hot in my book. Rappers need love sometimes. They are not all about money, cars, and girls.
LL Cool J - I Need Love
When I'm alone in my roomSometimes I stare at the walland in the back of my mindI hear my conscience callTelling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a doveFor the first time in my life I see I need loveThere I was, giggling about the gamesThat I had played with many heartsI'm not saying no-namesThen the thought occurredTear drops made my eyes burnAs I said to myself "Look what you've done to her"I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feelsAll I know is that I'll never dish another raw dealPlaying make believePretending that I'm trueHolding in my laugh as I say that I love youSayin' amour kissing you on the earWhispering I love you and I will always be hereAlthough I often reminisce I can't believe that I foundA desire for true love floating aroundInside my soul because my soul is coldOne half of me deserve to be this way until I'm oldBut the other half needs affection and joyAnd the warmth that is created by a girl and a boyI need loveRomance, sheer delight how sweetI gotta find me a girl to make my life completeYou can scratch my back, we'll get cozy and cuddleI'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddleI'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eatKiss you on the cheek and say "Ooh girl, you're so sweet"It's deja vuwhenever I'm with youI could go on forever tellin ' you what I doBut where you at, you're neither here nor thereI swear I can't find you anywhereDamn sure you ain't in my closetOr under my rugThis love search is really making me bugAnd if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seenTake a chance with my love you'll find out what I meanFantasies can run, but they can't hideWhen I find you I'm a pour all my love insideI need loveI wanna kiss you, hold you, never scold you, just love youSuck on your neck, caress you and rub youGrind moan and never be alone if you're not standing next to meYou're on the phoneCan't you hear it in my voice? I need love badI got money, but love is something I never hadI need your ruby red lips sweet face and allI love you more than a man who's ten feet tallI'll watch the sunrise in your eyesWe're so in love when we hug , we become paralyzedOur bodies explode in ectasy unrealYou're as soft as a pillow and I'm as hard as steelIt's like a dream-land I can't lie, I've never been thereMaybe this is an experience that me and you can shareClean and unsoiled yet sweaty and wetI swear to you this is something I'll never forgetI need loveSee what I mean I've changed I'm no longerA playboy on the run I need something that's strongerFriendship, trust, honor, respect and admirationThis whole experience has been such a revelationIt taught me love and how to be a real manTo always be considate and do all I canProtect you, you're my lady and mean so muchmy body tingles all over from the slightest touchOf your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time'till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mineIf I find you girl, I swear I'll be a good manI'm not gonna leave it in destiny's handsI can't sit and wait for my princess to arriveI gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream aliveI'll search the whole world for that special girlWhen I finally found you, watch our love unfurlI need loveLL Talking:Girl, listen to meWhen I be sitting in my room all aloneStaring at the wallFantasies, they go through my mind and I've come to realizeThat I need true love and if you wanna give it to me girlMake yourself seen I'll be waitingI love you

Lesson Learned
This song really strengthened me through my break up. It's just another lesson I had to learn and put it towards the next relationship.
Alicia Keys featuring John Mayer - Lesson Learned
He broke my heart
And now it's raining just to rub it in
I'm at your door I feel so crazy bout it
You'll say, "I told you so"
You saw it long ago
You knew he had to go
I finally came around
I'm back on solid ground
Can't let it get me down Nah
It's alright, It's alright,It's alright (3x)
Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned so I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned
Sometimes some lies can take a minute to fully realize
His tears
Your eyes
Thirty seconds to apologize
You give him one more chance(Yeah)
Just like the time before(Yeah)
But he already knows you'd give a hundred more
Until that night in bed(Yeah)
You wake up in a sweat(Yeah)
You're racing to the door
Can't take it anymore
I was burned but I call it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned so I call it lesson learned
My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned
Life perfect ain't perfect if you don't know what the struggles for
Falling down ain't falling down if you don't cry when you hit the floor
It's called the past 'cause I'm getting past
And I ain't nothing like I was before
You oughta see me now
Yes I was burned but I call it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned so I call it lesson learned
My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned
Repeat
It's alright,It's alright,It's alright (repeat until fade)

Miser's Final Wish
This short story is funny and smart. This wife had good sense.
There was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife." So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him. Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!" she had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket." She said, "Yes, I promised. I'm a good christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him." "You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?" "I sure did, " said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check."

Still I Rise
Here is another poem by Maya Angelou. She's pretty much saying that she will still live her life regardless of what people say.
Maya Angelou - Still I Rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard'
Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I riseUp from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling
I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I riseI riseI rise.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
This is a poem by Maya Angelou. I remember seeing the movie. It was good to my eyes and how the sister and brother went through their lives.
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
by Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps on the back
Of the wind and floats downstream
Till the current ends and dips his wing
In the orange suns rays
And dares to claim the sky.
But a BIRD that stalks down his narrow cage
Can seldom see through his bars of rage
His wings are clipped and his feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
Of things unknown but longed for still
And his tune is heard on the distant hill for
The caged bird sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
And the trade winds soft through
The sighing trees
And the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright
Lawn and he names the sky his own
.But a caged BIRD stands on the grave of dreams
His shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
His wings are clipped and his feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with
A fearful trill of things unknown
But longed for still and his
Tune is heard on the distant hill
For the caged bird sings of freedom.

Emotional Rollercoaster
This song by Vivian Green is what I feel like with mixed emotions.
Vivian Green - Emotional Rollercoaster
Verse 1:
Last night I cried, tossed and turned
Woke up with dry eyes
My mind was racin, feet were pacin
Lord help me please tell me what I have gotten into
Ran my 3 miles to clear my mind
It always helps me out
Its my therapy when I'm losin it which is usually when
Chorus:
I'm on an emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ain't nothin healthy
Loving you was never good for me for me
But I can't get off, this (repeat)
Verse 2:
Yesterday I told myself I was gonna be ok
Gonna start a new day truly happy
I was gonna take control of me
But eventually reality hit me
Mentally,physically,emotionally
And I opened my eyes and realized
That I was still being taken for a constant ride
On your
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I'm so tired of you makin love to me
Then disappearin so suddenly
Up and down it goes
And I'm so tired of you pacifying me
With promises you know that you'll never keep
Round and round it go
I am on uh.....
(Chorus)
