My Mother Told Me So

Daughter, Daughter don’t fool around,

From your working hard, you will get your crown,

Daughter, Daughter don’t give life a slam,

Men is the only one who just don’t give a slam,

Daughter, Daughter don’t be a fool,

Big Stomachs get ya thrown far away from school,

Daughter, Daughter life is a real,

Do not waste times, go on, and get your career,

Stop setting, lonely on this country hill,

Daughters, Daughter go find thrill and success,

Come on gal’ do your best,

Education, Education and all the rest,

Daughter, Daughter you have to prepare for your tomorrow,

Did ya’? Did ya’ Gal’ dare say you are not even ready for today. Don’t let lust shadow your way, some women or man will surely give ya’ a pay,

Daughter, Daughter when life problems get ya down,

Gal don’t ya’ dare wear a flown, just tells that crowd, you do not fool around and surely, surely have received your crown.

Daughter, Daughter when that day shall come your way, don’t forget the one, who guided you on to stay,

Life happen just that way, tell them

Understanding, Satan tactics was my biggest accomplishment in life, now I understand he is trying to kill not only me, but also the generations to come, because of the seed that was planted in us, as the rivers of water, we shall not be moved. Now I understand my purpose and God’s will on my life. To heal and delivery women in crisis. True Exodus and education came from learning wisdom and knowledge of Proverbs, in which my mother taught me by living virtuous and righteous, she plant a good seed and bear many fruits. Thank you Mom, I can say that I am now thankful and grateful for the thorns in the flesh, fields of broken dreams, death, divorce, debt, D’m Kids. No More Drama!

Satan! We are here to claim our inheritance!
