Deep, Driven And Striven To Make A Change In The World
Dad...... Daddy..... father? what does that even mean? Disappearing act from the jump pretty obscene i mean fair it just wasnt fair but i ask myself was he not prepared consequences was known so i can only think he was scared i mean afraid its easy to say the role he never got a chance to play was not something he could of judged to this very day i mean night as it came down right on my head the pressure was so tight people tryna fill a slot giving me a tunnel so i can see the light i mean dark so dark i had to spark my inner man so little so i had no bark sacrificing my childhood somewhat, that means no games no park i mean seclusion trapped in this illusion that i would be in this institution the visions of death shower me so i call it my mental pollution I mean fresh air so new that i couldn’t bare to know i was getting stronger even tho my cowardly father wasnt there the anger that once was there was gone so now i dont care i mean Where Are You?

Remember Me
I know it'll be hard to let me go when the day comes Just think about the times we shed tears and had fun Just know i can finally have my proper rest I can roll on, be a "G" and no stress I will see a place where equality reigns no rain and no pain nobody tryna play no crooked games (GUN SHOT)........... Dear who it may concern just know I’m happy up here It ***** to know i had to die for people to care It’s cool tho but i know it ain't fair When i got shot i was alone, nobody was there Dear mama, aunt Sonia still strong as ever Grandma Gordon still praising like she aint in heaven im glad i made it so i can kick with da fellas Should of listen when god told me eternal life was better (WAKES UP).......... Got a glimpse of it all but was it worth it It was just a dream but i cant interpret it Will i survive will i die, will i stay, will i go Heaven felt so good please open the door I tell my mama my dream she didn’t wanna believe That her son was a prophet And that he wanted to leave My message to all try to live life right Live life to the fullest and hold on real tight You’re not promised tomorrow, not even today When i go to heaven, what will you say?

Hateful
The saying goes 'even genius asks questions" My quest to be the best is one of my stresses so my question is When will i be able to breathe (huh) I’m at war with myself continuously and nobody sees The hurt, no one deserves to live cursed but strangely enough i was prepared for the worst Sure nuff society has taken me for granted I’m slanted the rose in the concrete feeling abandoned it was handed to me to live this filthy life of grief my prophecy fulfilled but the stress is killing me please lord when you take me, that day i die how long will they mourn me, how long will they cry?

IN MY THOUGHTS
I was nothing 24 years ago what i would become, no one could ever know 2 years later i was nothing but considered a miracle cultivated in tough realities if i could make that applicable at the age of 5 still was nothing but i was somewhat talented moving the way i was no one could ever fathom it Age 10, i was a role model for my sisters still nothing but had to be about my dead beat fathers business he was never there so i had so many things to bear so i sold dope at 14 to keep all my so called friends near lost an angel, so i felt like i was nothing without her 15 yrs old and i told very few people about her 18 started making tough choices on my own 21 i actually got the courage to live all alone Started my own foundation, i conceded temptation stayed true to my black people in every situation 23 i made a life changing choice did it as a stepping stone so my kids can have a voice now im 24 and im still nothing but i figured i could say a little something

Nothing........
My deepest thoughts consist of a world filled with equality walking down the street without a police man stopping me As time goes by the worlds mind continues to be amputated stripped of its freedom, something that has been tolerated For many years, people shedding so many tears the damage has been done and now we all fear What we can't see but we know it exists even tho this world is broken it can be fixed Take our pride and lift it high the opressors couldn't even wrap thier head around why we sit and cry fight back, think ahead and speak up keep composure but believe me i know your fed up live your life doing the things you want to do being happy sometimes it means just being you Real people do what they want, opressed people do what they can We are the people that make up this world so lets take a STAND!

Take A Stand
Her eyes are the window of a soul Where only the white thoughts spring And they look, as the eyes of the angels look, For the good in everything Her lips can whisper the tenderest words That weary and worn can hear Can tell of the dawn of a better morn Till only the cowards fear Her hands can lift up the fallen From an overthrow complete Can take a soul from the bottom of sin And lead it to christ's dear feet And she can walk wherever she will She walketh never alone The work she does is the master's And god gaurds his own

A Good Women
i wanna live cause i got so much to offer i wanna die cause i got nothing to give i wanna live cause i care about my community i wanna die cause they dont care about me i wanna live to change the world i wanna die cause the world doesnt wanna change its all a trick, this game we call life what goes on after it we believe or have faith in what we think happens after we die that in itself lets us know if we want to live or die i wanna live but yet i wanna die its just that simple but yet complicated contradiction
