I'm not sure how he did it, but Tyler Perry's version of "For Colored Girls" was heartbreaking, staggering and beautiful all at the same time. I'm developing more words, but for now:
"It was a lover I made too much room for, almost ran away with all my stuff.
And the one running with it, don’t know he got it.
I am shouting, 'This is mine!' And he don’t even know he got it.
My stuff is the anonymous ripped off treasure of the year.
Did you know that somebody almost ran off with me?
Me, in a plastic bag under his arm.
Somebody, almost ran away with all my stuff…"
