Out my way.

I ain't going out my way...

Out my way.

I ain't going out my way...

For you again.



You played me and it's messed up.

I thought that we had something.

Nothing special, told me it was nothing special.

But you was all wanting me,

That was before I met you...

And I went out of my way,

Just to try and accept.

To try to hear you out...

Now I don't wanna hear your mouth.

Cause it's all the same ol things...

"I'm sorry, please forgive me"

The same old sayings.

"I'm sorry, is you still with me?"...

Actually, I mean the answer's "no".

And I hate calling girls **'s, But;



You give me every reason to do just that.

And you make me gag. Hell nah I don't want you back.

You was with me but you loving him, that’s unreasonable.

I gave you everything, I thought we was everything, but you played me like a throwback R&B; song.

That’s not a good look.

That's the reason we don't get along.

You had me open like a good book...

That's why I wrote this poem.

I'm fed up with this,

I'm way too fed up with this.

I'm way too much of a good guy,


And I ain't going out like this...
READ IT LIKE YOU'RE RAPPING.

A couple of my poems ain't make it

I was going through.



A couple of my poems ain't make it;

They was all for you.



But this one is special and I hope you read it.

Finally realized that you're everything that I needed...



Finally realizing what I had.

Realizing what I'm missing.

I see your new guy on snap,

Ya’ll was kissing.



And that really did something to me.

It made me miss you.

I ruined every chance that you gave me,

I was tripping.



Even my homies, they tell me the same thing.

Plus my momma never met ya, only seen the pictures.

She said "what happened to the girl? Why you ain't with her?"



I killed my chances.

And though I'm very remorseful.

I know I may never get her back,

It's just something that I gotta learn to accept.
poem about an old flame. obviously her name was Nita. 'forgive me for never being there, i pray for your happiness in your current situation. i hope we can still be friends."

this poem is from my upcoming poetry EP,  'The Writers Block' ... thanks for reading

The heat will literally drain you.
So every time I get around you I lack service like lebron missing.
Then when you leave I start dissing, myself; ****** at all the facts that i forgot to relay to you.
So much on my brain, it's heavy as hell im literally mentally stressing and physical.
Rest in peace to my brothers, I pray for your souls individual, and just because you gone still know that we're indivisible.
And free my brothers who be innocent but sitting in prison though.
You gon be home soon. Don't you worry, I got you woe...
I got a loaded weapon for any hater,
But I won't use it, I won't do it.
A new man like a duplicate but y'all can't two him.
Y'all can't deuce him.
Yall can't dismiss the teacher,
I preach it you listen.
God Army,
God body.
Can't say I never had NO *** to **** in.
But them blocks was looking hot when my pops was missing.
Momma; coming in late, going out early. Bless your soul.
And sorry for them days and nights my hard head stressed your soul.
But you never raised a finger, I mean you let that belt stretch that's all.
But I thank the lord for that belt man, it blessed us all.

Can I borrow a couple quarters for your thoughts?
Slide it into your slot machine, and pray I strike rich.
Unlocking new goals met like this is the sims.
But this is not a simulation, my golden rod is looking forward to stimulating every inch of your holy body.
Your holy body.
Your golden body.
My light skinned goddess.

I put all my concentration on you and that's probably why I failed out of college.
I couldn't balance.
Unless we talking balancing you on my shoulders.
That I could manage.
As I devour your sweet fruit from your secret garden of love.
The lettuce. The only dressing I needed was ******* you.
Let me see your body, let me heal that bruise. From when you fell out of heaven.
My angel.

Warm body talking to me, she just needed a cool.
Dousing your flames, in a pool of my liquid. And you drink my liquid and then keep on going, ooh girl you the champ.
Tonight i wanna fill you up and give you so much praise.
Tonight I wanna feel you up, just like I dreamt, so you remember my name.
And with all the secrets of the world, at least you'll be glad you came.

Breaking down the locked walls of lust, wonder, and passion.
For months, all over these bed sheets I've lusted for your passion.
And then it happened.
No wonder why you drove me insane.
Lost my balance in your goddess sea of perfection, then came.
These other men ain't get none so they mad at my luck.
Just tell em they can't get none, I won the prize and it's mine.
I waited my time and spent my change,
And queen you're so fine ,
I'm really glad you came

Hey, Black Child
Do you know who you are?
Who you really are.
Do you know you can be?
What you want to be.
If you try to be,
What you can be...


Hey, black child.

Do you know who you are?

Who you really are.

Do you know you're a star?

Do you know that you shine,

So bright in His eyes?

Do you know that what people say doesn't matter?

Hey, Black Child

Do you know where you are going?

Where you're really headed.


Do you know you can learn;


If only you'd dive into it head first.


If you try, and fail, but get back up;

What you can learn is mistakes is more than enough.

Hey Black Child,

Do you know you are strong?


Hey black child,

You're not alone.

Hey black child,


Do you know you can do,


Whatever is on your heart;
If only you try to.

Hey black child,

O child of God.

What you can do,

If you'd open your eyes.

Hey Black Child,

Learn what you must know.

Hey black child,

Don't worry about it, just grow.

Hey black child,

Do what you know how.

Hey black child,

Never dumb yourself down.

Hey black child,

Be all that you can be.

Hey black child,

You inspire me, to be me.

I keep thinking "man that could've been me."
Too easy.
Cause the ones that claim to help be the ones that do you breezy...

Long live the lost souls.
May God guide you on your way up.
I pray you keep your eyes on me.
Keep me protected, keep them strays up.
Don't let em touch me...

I pray they don't target me,
Buying skittles and some tea.
But who knows?
& Though we try to move on.
You can only be but so strong.

I tried henny and she didn't work.
ciroc couldn't get me off.
I talked to jack he a cool dude.
The **** had me feeling like a **** fool;
That wasn't me.

Tried whatever to get my mind off.
How many times we had to say bye?
Most of my homies spending time in prison,
They other ones laying in the sky...

Long live the lost souls.
May God guide you on the way up.
I pray you keep your eyes on me.
Keep me strong and help me stay up.

Why you had to go?
Something special. From my heart. Been in my phone since trayvons death 4 years ago so I decided to release it on his birthday. I added some lines to it to modernize it to the current situations we all face. The title is beeped out to protect his name as best as possible but you know what the spaces spell... TRAYVON. We love you. May God bless your soul.

It’s funny because – i'm used to being creative with words, and having the right things to say.
But then you come along and everything I had planned out gets whisked away.
I don’t know if it’s the pure seduction that just drives me crazy,
Or the thought of you being my lady.
Baby.


Im used to being creative with words, and expressing my deepest feelings.
But then you come along, and everything I had planned attracts dust on the shelf.
I don’t really don’t know if it’s your complexion that just drives me insane.
Or the thought of you saying “yes” to a diamond ring.
I don’t know…

Im used to being creative with words, and making myself known.
But then you come along, and all that I can think about is taking you home.
I don’t know if it is just your charisma alone, or the fact that you are the baddest girl
That I have ever known.
And I met that in a figurative sense.
I don’t know if you know what you do, but what you do drives me senseless, insane, And CRAZY.

Sweet Lady,
Hit reply if you like what you've heard.
& God knows I hope you do because it took me a while,

To write these words…
you get it first. Merry christmas...
