Some old woman she be calling me

This time it was quite urgent you see That she got in touch with me right away That I desperately needed to hear what she had to say Said she to me / was sorry for all the pain I was going thru Sympathetic was she to me ya see Could help it all go away and forget the commandments and live day to day Her babbling quite unclear, voice familiar from what I could hear She said to me, something in her tone, chilled me to the bone She Was filled with hurt and anger, so with class she did lack, Mumbling don’t worry ‘bout ever calling me back Would always have my number and know exactly where I be at How dare me try to leave she behind, we are of the same mind Remembered me from around the way said she to me, I always thought I was better than she Hello can you hear me now? Must be a dropped call, sister tripping trying to watch me fall. Looking to achieve what? Said she A certain understanding, cleave to a higher calling said me to she Listen …you don’t know me I’ve changed said I to she You must be confusing me with somebody else was she. I’ve changed – life rearranged I’ve always known you, your just beginning to know yourself, without a clue Said she to me, the phone call needed to be dismissed, no need to reminisce with she I was running late you see Almost forgot the good book, on my way out without a second look was me to she Refusing to hang up was she, Doorbell rings. Who is it? I say to she Damn it’s the old me That old woman tracked me down, with and without a frown. Two faced without faith Lord, I’m trying to turn my life around and be ok ….why she come around today? She pretending to be weak and feeble to convince me to let her stay Now if I let her in, surely I would pay With my life, stabbing pains from a knife Gotta lot of nerve does she, coming back around to check on me Get the hell out of here, and I started to swerve In the wrong direction was me, must remember my education in Christ you see Clarify my edification said me to me But quick at the lips and looking to deceive me was she Looked thru the window pain and saw she, I knew who she was and she me But she was disappointed to see who now I be Her seduction was real and allure very strong To battle it out, but for how long, the armour was tight, ready to fight So on my knees I began to pray, refusing to look her way I was outside of myself and sore afraid Begging the Lord for protection and forgiveness for the sins I done made Then I saw me fighting with she Then he said to me, get up child she was sent by me to prove thee So then she / me was given the strength and reborn as a grand sunflower For she knew not the day nor hour When he would come with judgement to be found Regal and tall, eyes all around under and above the ground Power in the scriptures that day she did learn But that old woman she vowed to return, to see if together we would burn She would visit me from time to time, fully determined to come back Checking me out to determine what I lack Said she to me That old woman sobbed as she faded away weak and dying Ready to go again as I grab my purse and shoes crying It be a new day for me May the Lord always help you find the way Whispered she to me   Spoken word by: Shamarah Israel
