Madea Goes to Jail

I love Tyler Perrys moives and plays. Here is part of his stage play madea goes to jail, Sonnys wife was cheating and it came out into the open. Here Madea is giving very real and truthfull advice.
One needs to see Madea in action to fully appreshate her. Madea knows the word but she got her own verson too which is all over the place but when it counts she hits you hard with the truth
The parts in Red are my fave

Sonny "what am I suppose to do now?"

Madea "Get up and go on with your life. Its alright, sit around be depressed for a minute, cry about, do what ever you have to but don’t stay there to long. Get up and go on with your life. so you know what I...this is what I learned in all these years on this earth, if somebody wants to walk out of your life, let them go. Especially you know you done everything you can do, you sat around and been the best man or women you can be, and they still want to go, let them go. whatever they are running after, they'll see what they had in a minute but by then its gonna be to late, cuz you'll sit there and go cuz half these people you'll be sitting around crying about it and worrying about it 2, 3 years from now your not even going to remember their last name. How many times you seen folks somewhere and you were like what the hell was I thinking? I had been there I was like what was wrong with me what was I going to drive I must have been lonely as hell to hook up with you Let folks go son. Some people come into your life for a life time some come for a season you just need to know which is which and your going to always mess things up with you mix seasonal people up with life time expectations you cant, you got people who married to people their were only suppose to be with for a season and they got married to these people they were only suppose to be with for a season and they wonder why they are having so much hell in their life, that was a person who was suppose to teach you one thing, you didn’t know it and you fell in love and wonder why you don’t got peace no where you go. No no listen I put everybody who comes into my life into a category of a tree. Some people are like leaves on a tree, the wind blow their over here their unstable, they blow the other way, their over here, the season change they weather and die they gone, its alright, some people, most people in the world are like that, their there to take from the tree they ain’t there but to take from the tree and give shade, that’s all they can do, but don’t get mad at people like that, that’s who they are, they never be nothing, that’s what they put on the surface but be what they are a leaf, some people are like a branch on the tree, you got to be careful with those branches too cuz they will fool you, they’ll make you think their a good friend and real strong, but the minute you step out there on them, they’ll break and leave you high and dry but if you find 2 or 3 people in your life, that’s like the roots at the bottom of that tree, you are blessed cuz them the kind of people who are going no where, they ain’t worried about being seen, don’t nobody need to know they know you they ain’t got to know what they are doing for ya, but if those roots weren’t there that tree couldn’t live you understand? And then you got a whole, a tree can hold a hundred million branches but only a few roots down at the bottom to make sure it getting everything it need, I telling you son, when you getting some roots hold on to them but the rest of it let it go, just let it go, let folks go

Sonny “um Madea, it’s not always that easy”

Madea “ain’t no body told you it was going to be easy but it will get easy when you learn how to love yourself, when you get to a point in your life when you look at people and go ok wait a minute, you or me, you will make a decision, and I cuz when your telling folks to do something and I never never thrown nobody away never in my life just thrown nobody just look don’t bother me no more don’t talk to me no more I’ve never done it. What I do is say look this thing your doing right here that’s going to cause a problem, you need to fix that cuz if we are going to be friends going to be cool you need to fix that and if you don’t you going to have an issue, if you see somebody fix it or even trying to fix it that’s somebody who cares, keep them people around. That’s a leaf that’s trying to grow up and be something else understands. But if you tell somebody what you’re doing is hurting me and I need you to stop and they keep doing it, they don’t care move on. Let them go. No matter how much it hurt let them go. And it will get easier I promise you every day it will get easier and easier and easier, you just got to make it through, you understand, and see you got to learn to be by yourself son people need to learn to be alone, I don’t understand all these people “I need somebody Lord where’s my man Lord where’s my women” that is crazy as hell, if you don’t know how to be by yourself how you going to do with somebody else. Stop praying about it, shut up and wait. Go work on you hell. That’s what that time is for, to get you’re self together. I’d rather be in a corner by myself with a puppy and a goal fish and be happy, then be sitting around with somebody in my house unwanted wondering what the hell they are their for, you would be surprised some of the things people put up with just to have somebody to say they love them, that’s crazy I don’t understand them. I can’t live in dysfunction, I am sorry. I am sorry I am come through to much been through to much hell and high water to come there and let you come up in my adult life when I am suppose to be in peace and give me all kind of hell. There are two places on this earth your going to have peace, the grave and your house, now if you cant walk up into your house and you ain’t got no peace something wrong, something wrong I’m sorry. People be rebuking Satan, I be rebuking Satan and beating the hell out of everything up in there till they get out I’m sorry you got to go, this is mine you hear me sonny. For sure you better hear me fo sho fo sho"
