And We Wonder Why People Are Doing The Things That They Are Doing

"I bust the windows out your car
And no it didn't mend my broken heart
I'll probably always have these ugly scars
But right now I don't care about that part
I bust the windows out your car
After I saw you laying next to her
I didn't wanna but I took my turn
I'm glad I did it cuz you had to learn
I must admit it helped a little bit
To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I didn't know that I had that much strength
But I'm glad you'll see what happens when
You see you can't just play with people's feelings
Tell them you love them and don't mean it
You'll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile
I bust the windows out your car
You know I did it cause I left my mark
Wrote my initials with a crow bar
And then I drove off into the dark
I bust the windows out your car
You should feel lucky that that's all I did
After five whole years of this bullshit
Gave you all of me and you played with it
I must admit it helped a little bit
To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I didn't know that I had that much strength
But I'm glad you'll see what happens when
You see you can't just play with people's feelings
Tell them you love them and don't mean it
You'll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile
I bust the windows out your car
But it don't compare to my broken heart
You could never feel how I felt that day
Until that happens baby you don't know pain
Yea, I did it, you should know it
I ain't sorry, you deserved it
After what you did you deserved it
I ain't sorry, no
You broke my heart, so I broke your car
You caused me pain, so I did the same
Even though what you did was much worse
I had to do something to make you hurt, yea
Oh, but why am I still crying
Why am I the one whose still crying
Oh, oh, you really hurt me baby
You really, you really hurt me babe
I bust the windows out your car"

 I remember being young and so brave
I knew what I needed
I was spending all my nights and days laid back day dreaming.
But look at me Im a big girl now, so I'm gon' do something
Told the world I would paint this town
Now Bet'cha I run this.
Cause I put it (down like that down like that)
And I'm making (all these racks all these racks)
And I'm moving (round like that round like that)
When I do it (And don't look back don't look back).
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want.
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want.
I can be bad if I want
I can be grown if I want
I can live fast if I want
I can go slow all night long.
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want.
They love the way I walk
'Cause I walk with a vengeance
And they listen to me when I talk 'cause I ain't pretending
It took a while, now I understand just where I'm going
I know the world and I know who I am
'Bout time I show it.
Cause I put it (down like that down like that)
And I'm making (all these racks all these racks)
And I'm moving (round like that round like that)
And I do it (And don't look back don't look back).
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want.
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want.
I can be bad if I want
I can say what I want
I can live fast if I want
I can go slow all night long.
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want.
Whatever it is.
I'm a grown woman
Someone know how to ride it.
I'm a grown woman
I'm so erotic.
I'm a grown woman
Look down that you're so exited.
I'm a grown woman
Look at my body.
It ain't no fun,
If a girl can't have none
You really wanna know how I got it like that
'Cause I got a cute face and my booty so fat,
Go girl!
She got that bomb (that bomb)
Hey girl, he'll get whatever she wants.
Go girl (Hey girl),
She got that tight (that tight).
Them boys,
They do whatever she like.
I'm a grown woman
I'm a grown woman
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman
I can do whatever I want
I'm a grown woman

Above are the lyrics from two songs that our young and not so young listen to. BUST YOUR WINDOWS by Jazmine Sullivan and GROWN WOMAN by Beyonce. Read the words. This is what we are listening to. This is what we are taking into our spirits. And we wonder why people are doing the things that they are doing. I know the arguments, debates and excuses.  Something to critically think about. I invite you to follow me on Saturday mornings on gobrave.org beginning at 6 a.m. ET and on Twitter @thinkcritical01.
