9. Never Would Have Made It by Marvin Sapp



10. Never Ever by Ciara ft. Jeezy



11. Turnin' Me On by Keri Hilson ft. Lil Wayne



I picked these songs based on the strength of a woman. Whenever I am feeling down, I would honestly, put this playlist on and remember who I am and how I can do this all by myself.



Now the breakdown



1. Diva by Beyonce



I chose this one to be in the number one spot because this is really the lady's national anthem. The title, "Diva," says it all.



2. "Ego" by Beyonce



Now this song has not became popular, as of now, but it is off of Beyonce's latest album, "I am...Sasha Fierce." What made me think of this song is one of the lines that she sings in the song, "I walk like this cause I can back it up!" This is basically saying step to the side, men. I can back up what I say and I do my own thing. Can't you see it in my walk?



3. "She Got Her Own," by Ne-Yo, Jamie Foxx, Fabolous



These fine young gentlemen tell about a young lady that does not need any man to pay her bills, to keep her company, or even to be there. She can do it all on her own.



4. "Miss Independent," by Ne-Yo



Once again, this title speaks for itself.



5. "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" by Aretha Franklin



Honestly, this song displays the need for women to gain respect not only from their partner, but also from society, today.



6. "Yesterday" by MaryMary



This is a gospel song that tells about how a young lady decided that all of her trust needed to be in God, yesterday. Throughout the song, she realizes that through all of her pain, her heartache, her struggle, that God had never left her side and He never will. As long as she has Him, then there is no need for a man unless God sends one her way.



7. "Hallelujah" by Tamela Mann



I believe this is a very powerful song that once again gives all glory and honor to God.



8. "A Change is Gonna Come," by Sam Cooke



The Title speaks for itself.



9. "Never Would have Made It," by Marvin Sapp



This song, right here, has so much wrapped in to it. Once you hear the first verse, it helps you focus on God and why you are in whatever situation you are in, whatever position you have reached. It is also a very powerful song.



10. "Turnin' Me On," by Keri Hilson ft. Lil' Wayne



I picked this song because Keri is telling all guys that if you don't meet her standards than you need to get to stepping.



Lastly, my song choice has not changed over the years. It might have been enhanced here and there, but overall, I listen to the same things; gospel, R&B and a little bit of rap.
