A Cautionary Tale

From the GREATEST Female MC of ALL TIME


I met him in a club hangin out one night
He said, Hello I'm George.. hi Lyte!
How's everything goin, huh, how ya doin?
Hope everything's fine, ooh, and umm
can I call you sometime? Can I get the digits?
And the address, so I can come visit?
I gave him the digits, that wasn't a problem
Cause if he caused any, I would have to solve them
cause George looked good, MMM damn good!
And if I didn't, some other girl would
In my mind, I hope for the best
Convincing myself that this was not a test
Cause I heard many things about Georgie
Nothing kinky, like no orgies
I heard he knows how to make love
like an angel from the heaven above
Who was I kidding I'd give him a try
Cause Lyte needs love too and that ain't no lie
Keep your ears open, hope that you listenin
Cause I'm about to take you on a George Porgie mission
Can it be I've stayed away too long (2X)
I gave him the number, I saw it in his eyes
She gave me the number? Hmmm I'm surprised
Good conversation, over the phone
He began to come for me whenever I was alone
George was sweet, so nice and so neat
With any other guy he didn't have to compete
George was mature, he made sure
that he was the only one I'd ever adore
Girls, have you, ever had a friend
that you'd get with, every now and then?
I know for a fact George had a lot of girls
spread out from state from state around the world
As long as he was smart and kept his girls in check
Made sure I never saw them and showed me respect
He didn't have to be loyal, like men should be
I don't care about the other girls, just be good to me!
But if I ever saw one, that would be the end
He couldn't kick the storyline that she was just a friend
The girls I didn't care, fine legs don't lie
See cause Georgie was into making your girls cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry (4X)
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Can it be I've stayed away too long
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Can it be I've stayed away too long
Kissed the girls and...
George was clean, no drugs and such
But once in a while, he'd drink too much
Hangin in a club where they play rockers
Him and his friend, drinkin vodka
I was lookin for him, and I found him there
With his clothes messed up and his (fucked) up hair
I told him he was messin up he wouldn't go far
He got mad and asked his friend for the keys to the car
I said, Don't drive, use your head
Drive while you're drunk and you'll kill yourself dead
We begin to argue, bad words were said
Then he got kicked out by some longhaired dread
Ran into the car as if, in a hurry
He started the car but his vision was blurry
He didn't care, he drove off into the night
Riding for miles, without his headlights
Georgie Porgie had too much on his mind
He was still young yet running out of time
Last week he took tests as the doctor told him
George had cancer in his lungs and his colon
See when he was young, he started smokin
Paid no attention when he started chokin
Thoughts flashed through his head, there they stuck
Till Georgie Porgie, crashed into a truck
I wished I woulda told him how I liked him so much
How he made me feel with the slightest touch
Now he's gone and I can't tell him nothin
Wish he was here so I could say somethin
The story is not to say that I'm in sorrow
Just to say no one is promise tomorrow
If you love someone you should say it often
You never know when they'll be layin in a coffin
Wake up, it's important that you know that
No one on Earth is promised tomorrow..
Believe that! And don't think that it can't happen to you
Kissed the girls and made them cry (2X)
Can it be I've stayed away too long (4X)
Kissed the girls and made them cry (2X)

Alpha Phi Alpha: 100th Centennial



On July 26-30 2006 thousands of Alpha brothers came to Washington DC and turned the Nation's capital OUT!!!

It was a special occasion for all Alpha's as it was a celebration of our 100th year as a fraternity. So many esteemed brothers and other guest helped us in celebrating this wondrous occasion. All the other BGLO's were representing..except Iota(at least they weren't present at our public program to be acknowledged). There were so many beautiful women in attendance it was a shame. I even went to 2 clubs while there.. (I hadn't been to a club for real for real since 2000). That scene certainly hadn't changed...lol.

This was my first trip to DC that was not school sponsored and it is such an UGLY city. Give me North Carolina anyday. Me and my frat brothers stayed in the Washington Hilton (between Connecticut Ave and T street) and near Dupont Circle. I swear I believe there were liquor stores on every block...lol.. We got lost trying to find the hotel and the street maping didn't help any but luckily we "stumbled upon the hotel"...lol

It was probably 97 degrees at 10am and as much as I tried to stay "ice cold" it was no use...I took about 10 steps before I began sweating...................I mean sweating like somebody has sprayed me with a watergun or something...lol.

ANYWAYS.... the brotherhood exhibited at the event was unparalleled. All the hospitality suites were off the chain.. the partying was non-stop. I think I was at least up until 3am for 3 straight days..anyone who knows me knows that my body shuts down around 10pm on the daily..lol. Sure it was a pricey event but it was worth it. My frat brother even got a picture with "Thelma" from Good Times who was causing quite a stir in the hotel.

This convention has really inspired me to stay active with Alpha and sustained my decision to be a part of such an illustrious organization. The oldest brother at the convention was 102 (from North Carolina) and seeing showed and proved that Alpha is truly is a lifetime organization that transcends all the hazing, stepping, and foolishness that most tend to associate with Greek orgs. The bottom line is getting things done and Alpha can get things done.....1900000000000000000000000000000000000006!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

July 30th- The Day My Life Changed Forever

July 30th 2006 was the day my life changed forever. On that day my mother left this earth to be with God. Many have asked me how do I feel.. well that is a hard question to answer because I feel enormous sadness and a weird sense of relief. Relief because I know she won't suffer any more and sadness because she is no longer a physical being on this earth.

I've stated in a previous post that I was a "momma's boy". Now I no longer have that support in my life. Throughtout all of our battles she knew that I loved her and I never had to question that she loved me. This is a woman who raised me from 7 months old (as my biological mother was killed when I was 7 months) to almost 30. At first I wasn't sure how I would carry on when I was told the news of her passing, as it didn't seem real, but I know that GOD has a purpose for this and her death is somehow going to take me to another level. I trust and I believe that. I have what seem like a gazillion life decisions to make but instead of being irrational and just making changes I have decided to let God direct my steps. You never truly realize how much a person means to your life until they are no longer there. There were so many things I really wanted to say to my mother.. but who knew when I left for DC that it would be the last time I would see her alive.

I know this grief will never go away but I hope with time this grief will be the strength I need to carry me through life regardless of the circumstances. I could write so much more but I'm starting to cry just typing this so I will let it go for now.. my next post should not be so dark..LOL
