Speaker 2 (00:21):
Ladies and gentlemen. It is time for the Strawberry Letter
with my good friend Shirley Strawberry.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank you my good friend Junior. Subject is he faking
it with me? Dear Stephen, Shirley. I used to sing
with a band, and that's how I met my boyfriend.
We moved to Atlanta and he started another career as
a rapper. He's good at it and he does local
festivals and that's good enough for him because he works
full time. He's been talking about marriage, buying a home,
(00:48):
and having kids. But he's a lot different than a homebody.
When he's rapping, his lyrics say he is a man whore.
He calls women all kinds of names and glorifies a
woman that has had surgery to enhance her breast, butt
and lips. He says that he doesn't trust women, so
he uses them for sex and would never be stupid
(01:08):
enough to give his heart to one. I went to
a show on the fourth of July, and my auntie
and her husband went with me. My boyfriend's lyrics were
so embarrassing. He said he has a main bee and
her friend and her friend's friend, and all of them
love him. He said all of the designer clothes he
owns come from women because his sex is so good.
My uncle said that I need to reevaluate my relationship
(01:32):
and stop spending my money on my boyfriend. I swore
to him that those are just lyrics and he's totally
different than that, different than that with me. My uncle said,
my man is nothing but a womanizer, a show off,
and he's full of himself, thinking he is God's give
to women. Then my aunt chimed in and said he's
faking it with me. She said, my boyfriend is faking
(01:53):
like he likes me because I'm a stable woman and
he's latched himself onto me. He does have two different personalities.
He sings gospel music at church and then trashes women
and his rap what exists. He loves me but it's questionable.
Is he faking it on stage or is he faking
(02:15):
it with me?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
He said.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
He's a hustler right.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well on stage?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Or is he taking it on with me? Only you
can answer that one. How does he treat you? How
does he treat others? Is he a player? You should
know these things? Does he have other women?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Are there any signs of that? Most rappers do have
different personas when they get up on that stage. A
lot of times they don't mean what they're singing about,
what they're rapping about. It's just like actors who play
different roles. You know, they can play this role, they're
not that, but they play that role on TV or
in the movies. But is your man living the life
(03:04):
he raps about? That's the question. Have you asked him
to tone it down because his lyrics make you uncomfortable
and they embarrass you? That's the key, because even if
he's not living that lifestyle he raps about, you're embarrassed.
You're hurt by what he talks about. You know, you're
embarrassed in front of your family. So either you need
to break up with this guy because you can't support
(03:24):
his rap career, or stop going to his shows and
taking people with you to his shows because you can't
take it. I mean, you're a singer, that's how you
met him. He wouldn't like it if you sang about
other men on stage when you're performing. So you have
every right to feel how you feel about this guy, Steve.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I don't the subject is is he faking it with me?
I don't see any and I will try, but I
don't see any redeeming qualities. I just don't. I'm sorry.
I'm listening to the letter and at the end where
I had to bust out laughing, after all this was
(04:04):
said he a gospel singing at church. What dog did
you hit? A whole letter? Now, Stephen Sherley, I used
to sing with a band, So it's a woman writing
in That's how I met my boyfriend. Then it jumps
to we moved to Atlanta and he started another career
as a rapper. What he's good at it He does
(04:28):
local festivals and that's good enough for him because he
works full time. All right. Now here we go. He
talks about getting married, by a house and having kids.
But he's a lot different than a homeboy when he's rapping.
That's a weird description coming from a woman who make
(04:50):
it a husband and a father and a deal from
a man. Oh he's a homebody, I'm saying. But he's
a lot different than a homebody. When he he's rapping. Now,
his lyrics say he's a man who okay, right right.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Here, Wow, bruh.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
He calls women's all kinds of names. He glorifies a
woman that had surgery, breast done, button lips, and he
say he don't trust women, so he uses them for
sex and would never be stupid enough to give his
heart to one. These are lyrics that he wrote and
he's rapping. This ain't somebody else's. Oh what the bars?
(05:37):
These his bars? He wrote these. I went to a
show on the fourth of July. My auntie and her
husband went with me. My boyfriend lyrics were so embarrassing.
He said he has a main b and her friend
and her friends, and all of them love him. He said.
All the design to clothes he don't come from women
(05:57):
because his sex is so good. Now, my uncle said,
I need to revaluate my relationship and stop spending my
money on my boyfriend. I swore to him that those
are just lyrics and he's totally different than that with me.
My uncle said, my man is nothing but a woman
eyes or show off, and he's full of himself, thinking
these God's gift to women. At this point, I agree
(06:18):
with your uncle. I'm just gonna be real with you. You can't.
You can't have all these different lives. But see, he
wrote those lyrics. Now, I got most people don't live
the life of the lyrics they write. But what you're
writing them for?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
All right, hold that thought, Steve, Hold your thought. We're
gonna come back and have part two of your response
to today's strawberry letter? Is he faking it with me?
At twenty three minutes after the hour right after this
you're listening Steve Hardy Morning Show. All right, Steve, come on,
let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is is he
(06:59):
faking it with me?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I just didn't see anything redeeming in this letter. This
letter meant this. She used to sing in the band.
That's how she met a boyfriend. They moved to Atlanta together.
He started a new career. He been rapping. She said
he good at it because he get jobs at local festivals. Okay,
I used to work at taverns and bars. When I started,
(07:24):
you know, I was good at it, but the money
wasn't good to me, So I don't know anyway. You know,
y'all been talking about marriage, having kids, getting married by
in the house. But he's a lot different than a
homebody when he's rapping, So his lyrics are contrary to
what he says. He wants a wife, a house, and kids.
(07:45):
He trashes women, He calls them out, they name. He's
a man who, according to him, he glorifies women that
has head surgery is done. He uses women for sex.
He would never trust any woman enough to give his
heart to one. You went to a show on the
(08:07):
fourth of July with your auntie and her husband. His
lyrics were so embarrassing to you that your uncle sat
up there and said, hey, listen to me, stop spending
your money. His lyrics were talking about how people buy
him designer clothes that he gets from women because his
sex is so good, and blah blah blah. The uncle
told her you need to stop, you need to revalue
(08:31):
your relationship with you. Quit spending money on him. I
swore to him, those are just lyrics, and he's totally
different than that. With me. My uncle said, my man
is nothing but a womanizer, a show off, and he's
full of himself, thinking these gods give to women. Then
my aunt chimed in and said he's been faking it
with me. She said, my boyfriend is faking like he
likes me because I'm a stable woman and he's lashed
(08:52):
himself on to me. Now here's a line that gets
us ready to get up out of him. He does
have two different personalities. Okay, well, then that does mean
at times he's one or the other. That's what that means.
(09:14):
So is he the rapper or is he the guy
that's the homebody. But then you threw another one in.
You said he's sang gospel music at the church. I
fell out laughing. I fell out laughing. Who is this boy?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
He's sanging gospel music at your Now you got to
be careful though, because if it's confusing to you if
you get these lyrics mixed up.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Uh, he mixed up his rap lyrics with the gospel song?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Is that? What?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You know the problem here?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Mother Mary was the baby, but who was she? Really
don't know?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Hold up, hold up part where we're going with this.
So he sings gospel music at the church and then
trashes women in his raps. He says he loves me,
but it's questionable. Is he faking it on stage or
(10:18):
is he faking it with me? He's faking it period. Okay,
let's take you and the relationship about the mix. Who
is this guy? If you'll try to describe him, how
would you describe him? Is he a homebody? He loves children,
having a family, but he raps on stage and he
(10:39):
trashes women. He says he gets all his down designer
clothes for women he has sex with because he has
sex with him so good. And now he's sang at
the church. He sang gospel music. I don't think this
young man knows who he is yet, because I would
(11:02):
not attach myself to a wagon or a team of
horses and each horse is going in a different direction.
You're gonna get to a part like that. If you
hit yourself to a man to a wagon and he's
got a team of horses, they all got to be
going in the same direction. And before you get on
(11:23):
this wagon, ladies, you got to make sure that's the
direction you want to go too, that you can either
support it or ride along with him. Is that where
you want your life to go? But if he can't
show you direction his life is going, why would you
attach yourself to that? Most women I knew know want
(11:45):
to be loved, cared for, cared about, feel a sense
of security, have love in their house, go somewhere, travel
with their man, laugh, enjoy theirself, play games, you know,
go double day. That's what women really want to do
with a man. You know, we got a life together,
we got this family. But your dude man is all
(12:08):
over the place, and your uncle hit it spot on
you up on stage, rapping all these legs about how
good you are and how many women you got it.
You never trust one. And my woman loved me and
all her friends, and that's what made you sick because
your friends like him too. But I think I don't know, man,
(12:30):
I don't see it. I don't see it. Little good, No,
young lady, I really don't tell you. But that gos
will say that was too funny to me.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I holler, they're going to break up because.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The lord was agagster.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
