“I met her when I was young, but she was younger
With a body like a woman, so her age meant nothing
I had to get her number
After how she made them Daisy dukes fit her all summer
I’m wishing I could hit her all summer
And all she ever wanted was for young Weezy to love her
But all I ever wanted was to cum easy and dump her
But that didn’t come easy…”Lauren is proud of being Black and of Jewish origin and has some words of wisdom on the same
“Whatever your ethnicity is, in this life, you are going to be on a journey to discover who you are and how you feel about yourself,” she said. “I do remember being teased by my cousins on my mom’s side for not being black enough, and then I’d spend the summer with my dad and be sent to all-white summer camps where I was ‘that black girl.’ I struggled for about a minute with that; then I figured it out for myself. What it has done for me is I don’t care what people think about my identity. If someone thinks I’m not Black enough, that’s their issue. I’m okay with who I am, and it is what it is. I’m a Black woman like my mother, and I love who my father is, and I love both sides of me. Nobody makes a big deal about it anymore because I won’t take that anymore.”

“I lost what I would say is the love of my life. … So I had to go so deep within myself. I was so in a dark space, and it was just like, ‘What is this? Who am I? God, please show me.’… When you’re facing God face-on, you’re asking real questions, and you want real answers. It wasn’t for play. I really wanted to know what was going on. So, I think it just has expanded because of my quest for peace.”
