Turn nightmares to dreams, selling blocks to people on the block, under the inner city blocks, where streets are blocked with croaked cops, taking innocent lives over rocks, from kids that've been walking straight lines for blocks. Parents knock on wood the end up Forte Nox, then on their last mile they get shoot. Or his pops is locked up behind bricks, from the projects - selling spliffs to undercover cops, that gave him deals on his nicks.  Instead of playing for the Knicks, gets getting 76'd getting locked up over petty ****, either that or some "lets get him ****", or on the news in Red Sox, taking shoots of him shoot on the block with shoots lying in a blotch of red plots. They way the child is lying, logic showing the officially lying, but our judicial officials saying hes officially not. I got to believe it or not.

Do you really want to love me?
Then make your body tell me why.
Do you really want to feel me inside?
Then let me give it to you, until you cry.
Few words none spoken
Wrapped in bodies, our souls our token
Come inside and catch my tears
love your lies, until my hearts broken

There's a loving in your eyes, I must say
I can see it in your smile, clear as day
But I’ll just listen to your lies,
hearing what you have to say.
Selling me your lies with all conviction
While what you are feeling deep inside, a contradiction?
Since I’m the man, you play the victim
Too bad your love is my addiction.
Without it, I get sick to my system.

As I look back at the paths I walk Reminiscing, lost in thought.
over the tragedies I've lost, and wars the wars I've fought.
The battle wounds, and the scars it brought,
equals hard lessons better felt that taught.
Everything happens for a reason; a certain way I walk.
Keep your head up, midday as well a during dark.
Moments, your only opponent is yourself.
You can either believe it of disown it, the truth is the final component. It make sense don't it?

Another one bites the dust,
just another fool that you can't trust.
No reflection of us, its them not us.
In this world, in order to win
you need thick skin; not trust.
All create equal,
mankind splits us up.
Sticks and stones, break bones.
look what guns do to us.
Bullets break bones, but not ignorance

Another one bites the dust,
the impact, hits all of us.
Selfish kings, against all of us
Few jokers in the deck
messing all us up.
21 black jacks in a row,
still wouldn't even trust my luck
Many care;  problem is
many more, just don’t give a ****.

I’m in love with your mystery
the rest is history
right now its  just you and me
love how you move
when you are making your way
stuck in my mind
don’t know what you expect of me
take a look at yourself, stop blaming me
i need you fill that void for me
your footsteps echo your voice now
dont you worry about the pain
we will figure it out somehow

If I go crazy will you understand?
if I lose my mind, will you still hold my hand?
as I walk around, wasting time.
avoiding the pressure, evading my mind.
things falling apart, might not know when.
barely holding it together, just better at playing pretend.
you picked me up, when no one else was around.
you found me lying, alone on the ground.
lost my soul, but my thoughts were profound.
you picked me up, put me back on common ground.

If i go crazy will you understand.
even when i doubt myself, will I still be the man?
I might go crazy, I just hope you understand.
I know you’ve been by my side,
but will you be there tonight?

These haters aint for us,
we crave a different type of touch.
We stand tall with our dreams,
haters thoughts, way beneath us.
They can speak their mind,
when they are done,
then  kiss my be hind.

Calling haters out, all on high alert, filled with doubt.
talking **** about ****, instead of walking the talking
they run their mouth.
I will never get it, I will never figure it out.
Are there shoots are weak,
most of them are cheap.
most of they said I wouldn't make it,
the top  I would never see.
leagues behind me, telling me what I'd be.
now when I call them out,
they said they had no doubts.
they are so full of ****,
when they talk - it falls out.

Teachers at my throat,
now they read my quotes.
Was on cloud nine, burning bridges,
so I learned to float
believed in myself,
faith brings hope.
now I take things on a different note.
haters, don't matter.
they can whip kiss my ***, after I clear my throat.
they pick on us, in there never land.
taking shoots, but they will never land.
we live in reality, some where they will never stand.
easier to guide the way, than to take a stand.

Do you want to love me
or do you want to hurt me.
Do you want to love me,
or do you want to hurt me.

Sometimes your words don't know the difference
and your actions at the same.
too much pain, to much hurt.
some how misery just came.
Feeling never change, my heart stayed the same.
I guess i went insane - that why I walked away.

I just wanted you to love me,
you just wanted the games.
I just wanted to love you,
you just wanted the pain.

I wake up, still dreaming of the pain.
saying it will never happen, I would let ever again.
Then I fall asleep, as deep as I feel in love with you
hoping deep inside, my dreams come true.
caused all the pain in the world,
either-way, I felt alive lying next to you.

I miss you,

Running out of cash and I got issues.
99 problems, and there ain't nothing that I can't do.
standing all alone, cause nobody understands you.
nobody cares, feel like even god don't want to hear my bad news.
kneeling on my knees, in my new shows going back to my roots.
chasing myself in circles, chasing deceptions over truths;
standing in my mirror, staring for a while.
a lot of things changed, adjustments to my style.
as we play this game -nothing changed, but the hands of time, the rest just stayed the same.

Meanwhile, these feelings, I can no longer hide. Too long, they’ve been held captive; pacified for many before me; so many have sacrificed. pay my respect, thanks to them, we are all stall all alive. And angel falls, to earth. so earth, can gain a life. I spread my wings and hope to fly,the lord call my name, and I’ll gladly reply. waste my hands clean, from the dirt, we all arrived. cross my heart, at these cross roads but I don’t hope to die -then again you never know. I trust faith, will be my alibi. Walking down this endless path, of endless roads, that never last. The hands of time casting their spell on the highest caste. As they clap all the way up their final lap, we all take a split second look back, to all the moments that lead up to that.

its funny how these dumbies play the situation
they silly acting funny like a bunch of bums
then you call'em out, and they all play dumb.
simple stupid ****, ending with complications,
all because these little haters, try and play son
wait until i turn my back, then its game on.
some wan' play young like em' fool, then they find out young take dem to school - calling out the leader, is the number one rule. then the liter, got to follow the rules, and take care of all these young fools - and break'em down to size, like Happy meals at naptime at private schools. These goons never wake up, and it's all thanks to haters being tools.
Now, I'm back on track, dont get it confused.
getting to the point like the evening news,
you can keep taking shoots, but a champion nows to handle his *****.
my wisdom worth more than all your silver and gold, I will always have heart even when I turn cold. All these materials things, aren't worth my weight when I'm stone cold. Instead of following the light, I let my heart set the goals. Now I'm headed up hopes road, silver tongue with a heart of gold, in full control.

They say time heals everything. I guess that applies to anything.
but since love is just not anything, I struggle with these thoughts. I don't know where to begin. It's like this game of life, so we all start all in. Mostly in for our-self, life by our-self with no one else around you. Mind of matter, let me remind you. That love is a pain, gifted to all of us. Unfortunate for some, life's not fair to all of us. All created equal, and by mistake, nurtured by hate, left on our own to find  love. And while we wait, we learn to hate - that which is not us. Even though, no such thing is such. It pains my heart, bothers me so much. So all of this hate, overpopulating love. If had one wish, it wouldn't be enough. But all my fate, in the God above; I wouldn't blame him, for blaming us. People killing people, in lands created for us. The commandments, broken if commanded, then judged by You-Mons - aliens looking down on us, like we are monstrous. Unidentified flying objects, staying away from us. They way we label each other is so unrighteous. Somehow our own poison is too good for us. If any of this makes any sense, then they then pay attention. to all of those around you, or then your just a king- dumb.

sometimes when I close my eyes,
and feel something deep inside,
hurts some much,
but I just swallow my pride.
and keep the real me trapped inside.
to the world I smile,
grin my teeth as I open wide.
paint a smile, a-mile-high, side to side.
meanwhile, these feelings, deep down inside.

Lost in your eyes, don't looked surprised. Loved you ones, but all hearts lie. Had to let you go,  in doing so I told myself good-bye. Living without you, is the slowest, most painful way to die. Yet, still I try. They say time heals every thing, I need not apply. My heart, forever gone, this we can't deny.

Lost without hope, what do you expect.
accept, the complex aspects of my regrets.
But I beg for more, I appreciate the lessons
from so many different aspects.  My two cents is starting to make sense, so these reality checks, is past tense. I move forward with a clear mind, no pretense. I listen and I learn, so my third eye being blind, is my strongest sense.

Pardon me as I stare
Falling in love, as you appeared
Looking too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I heard your voice and I knew
I had already fallen for you
There are no words to compare
the sight of you standing there
Seemed so unreal, as I fear
Felt like heaven to touch
Never felt something so real  
Now I love you so much
The day your love arrived
I thanked god i was alive
Looking too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby
Everything is alright
I need you baby
let me warm ur night
I’m glad we found our way
Now your my baby
And you're here to stay
And I will love you
All through the night
Until the light of day
Our moment has arrived
I’m glad that we survived
Finally, everything is okay

these gifts put me in positions
to write these compositions
as soon as i put it together
they try and rip it apart
weak minded decisions
I don't let go to heart
I play my part,
master my art,
so it works for me my times of dark,
and when I shine bright,
let no one rip us apart.
this talent was god given
so you haters is good riddens
you getting in my, you got to be kidden
I'm breaking record after record like ken griffen,

When you left, I thought you were gone.
at least that part of me did. the part you always let down.
the part that waited up for you, when you never came around.
Such a small gesture, with an impact so profound.
I learned to be stand up guy, from all my let downs.
learned from the school of hard knocks, graduated with cap and gown.  
I'm finding my way, going through all these up and downs.
getting rid of all this dead weight, can't let it hold me down.
push comes to shove, i gotta find that common ground.
because what goes up, most come down so if you can't swim you drown. That's how most kings lose their crown. Success waits for no one, especially with Karma lurking around.

Words have
     The potential
           To create
    Beautiful things.


With your help.

As the story goes, Picasso was walking though the market one day when a woman spotted him. She stopped the artist, pulled out a piece of paper and said, “Mr. Picasso, I am a fan of your work. Please, could you do a little drawing for me?”

Picasso smiled and quickly drew a small, but beautiful piece of art on the paper. Then, he handed the paper back to her saying, “That will be one million dollars.”

“But Mr. Picasso,” the woman said. “It only took you thirty seconds to draw this little masterpiece.”

“My good woman,” Picasso said, “It took me thirty years to draw that masterpiece in thirty seconds.”

Without its' sheath a sword's blade becomes dull. Within it's own concealment, its strength is protected.

**** this civilized **** I am set, like an object. So don't object. My eyes on the prize like my future subjects. All these haters is suspect, I pay them no respect. That's how a King treats his subjects. I blow minds like lare jets-- then take marks and get set. It could be the bad or the ugly, l'm as good as it gets. I'm raising the bar like I'm working my pecs, working hard, baring arms like I'm funk master flex. I'm laughing so hard it's hurting my chest. instead of getting money I'm enjoying my wealth,  weight a couple rounds, then rise up in belts. My Dawgs underdogs, like we training vets. I weigh the pros agasint cons, then Shakakon like I'm K. West. Extend my arm and drop a bomb when this mic turn on. My future brighter than prospects, standing on Prospect while the Sunset waiting to get it on

Breaking his enthusiasm as my pencil spasm insanely random like a Gatlin cannon my magnum blastin shots taken so I'm shootin then walking off like cam Nuked'm these civil lies causing an evolution I'm killing guys its the only solutions dude blowing smoke too much pollution on the same page until I go rampage and start looting enraged second phase using the bars from my cage to punch lines through these frames I'm battle rappin as quick as they can match'em let it happen captain Hook I'll patch ' em in tandom with passion my fraction got these ******* trashing like DJs scratching I'm thirsty for action these weapons I'm packing get rowdy they start clapping like jacks sons put a cap in your captain capitalize off what happens I'll top 5 of your top 10 you fighting for your life I'm just saying one with a slight of hand I'm disarming this man King of Kings Schooling these Lord of rings on thier aim, I'm top tier they lame I'm **** ' em all with the same ball and chain pen dragging them all to my hall of slain, this a deadly game, and I bringing the major pain.

Broken hearts can't mend amends;
so forget what you've seen,
Forget what's been said.
      Without each other, we are one short of      
       alone; Two deadbeats, one heart beat,
       short of being dead.

While these groupons cutting coupons I mean and croutons with Grey Poupon with the flight crew on an Islond off Moulin Rouge -- these dudes calling me rude, how I took'em to school. went from second hand shoes to licking silver spoons eating delicious grapes, in luxurious estates, and plush lagoons. Leaving the monkey business to the buffoons. Instead I'm watching CNN news being amused. LeBron making his moves on the tube, setting screens, and running schemes, on the big screen, HD clarity got me taking three, I'm catching charges too. This is the life. I'm just manifesting what they said I couldn't do -- nothing new.

My words flowed from my mouth like a perfectly tuned faucet, as the bright spot light, shinned down on my off-set. The audience didn't object, to the imagery I painted. My stanza's killing to the page for dear life, waiting to be read right; from my eager lips -- sheets shifting, pages crumbling, stomaching rumbling, the audience attention's shifts - and my nightmare always ends like this.

A day dream, about me sharing my gift. The ability to uplift -- then finding my self in deep ****. In the middle of reciting it. I keep relieving, and re-sighting it. All this doubt in my mind, I keep inviting it. That's why I instead of becoming a spoken word, I'll just keep writing it., because stage fright, is some frightening ****.

These sands of times
stand fair ground
over time
lose their worth
as they compound.
time heals everything
hands down
The solace whispers of time surround
hitting its mark
then leaving a mark
as these virtual hands of time make a round.
Never seen or touched,
always rushed
from behind.
restless as divine,
same is now
as in ancient time

Your thoughts are not matter.
maybe not to them, but to you.
which is enough.
There, sitting inside of you waiting for you to give them the breathe of life, strong enough breed the kind of light that might change a life.
that changes times
inspire minds that
in time, changes minds
repeat that one thousand-times
you've made his story
from speaking your mind.

Depression, is an infection, a collection of imperfections magnified by a clouded mind beyond the point of corrections.  Festering inside yourself hating. Laying there waiting, in the depths of your core, sanctioned by Satan. Anticipating, when your courage goes vacant, and your ego runs adjacent, and your mind becomes complacent. Before you can catch your second wind, depression sets in.   Telling you lies about what others are thinking. Leveraging your weaknesses, to make you a weakling. And you wont have an inkling.  Even thought you are loved, you feel unloved because you heart is in  glare; instead of protecting what is pure, its projecting things that are there, and reflecting your feeling you feel out of fear. about what  others think, or why they don't care – get stuck in your own thoughts with no time to sphere.

Instead of asking for permission rather beg for forgiveness this is my life you'd understand if you lived this my heart bare witness to what other shouldn't witness learned from my lessons with the quickness started making moves on these misfits moving figures with logistics made moves left my imprint on modern day blueprints and morse code on these infants killing with instinct in an instant while making moves in sequence my frequency is frequent

Doubt washing over me like a cold shower. Wondering over every passin hour. Hanging on my every word,
these thoughts I devour. Pondering endlessly, these concerns stressing me.
Stuck in glimpses of dreams,
As this world escaping me.
Courage leading, down twisting fragile roads as the world turns.
Left insecure and exposed.
Getting right On rocky roads.
Wondering where I should go,
Let fate guide my destiny.

Come on down to china town, where the rice is white and the chicken brown. The beef is sweet,  spices ground. Rice sweet and sour.  Shrimps rolled in duck sauce and shifted flour. Soup on the side, with soy and curry powder.

On the page they draw me in.
In my mind, the drive me crazy.
Teaming up against me, like rugby.
Tainting things until they look ugly.
Telling stories, a thousand stories above reality
With crystal clear clarity.
These treasures, so pure it's too clear to see.
as with time, they get the best of me.
Idle hands; the rest is history.

On a trip to never-never- land.
the glass ceiling and bottomless plan
I'll never ever land.
Its all part of plan B, by the man,
My sound scans, in never-ever- land.
Never heard by another man.
Gave up on the game - now its
starting to show, on the other hand.
I got doubts, so I dream even more.
These odds against me - I never no
Praying to god, the only time I fold.
A real man, never overplaying my hand.
Bringing more to the table than a brand.
That's just the way it goes,
can’t help how the cards land,
let the facts show.
Time heals everything,
scars let it be shown. You,
let it be known.
The logos, go hand in hand
Two faces – four tone
I’m a standup guy,
On rocky land
Headed home.
First in my class,
last in my caste,
finishing last
now I’m king of the throne.

Standing here on this path;
with myself, I just laugh --
to a yellow brick road, or humble abode
Where will I land?
Which way will  I go?
I'm ready, even though --
Destiny left me, or did I let her go?
Karma test me, but with her - you never know.
Fate calling, to many hang ups and a dead tone.
So to clear my mind of these cloudy thoughts,
I go to the  O'zone, where I'm all alone.

I'm feeling broke – like I’m Edgar Allen Poe.
Blowing smoke - just going with the flow.
Beating kicking, rocking back and fore,
Dealing with these feelings,
I’ve been concealing
got me feeling
Feelings, never felt before.

Sitting here
Waiting
Anticipating
Your touch
Eager to please
Your needs
Is what I need
Our time will come
As it will pass
While we are here
Lets make it last.

Stuck in this room.
This tight space, making me a head case.
The Grey wall paper, clinging to the wall for dear life, over the stair case.
Croaked ceiling fan spinning, as it rocks back and forth swaying.
Pandora playing, In the back ground. The  jazzy sounds of Teddy Brown, calming me down.

In my dreams, we're together forever,
on a beach with hot weather.
Rising tides sliding in. ending; never.
Sun shining, over the horizon,
Sea birds slide in, on the blades of the wind. The sun rays beating, down on your tan skin. Sweat collecting, like honey dew, all over you. looking sweeter than my favorite food, on a honey moon.
I'm falling in love with you, not seriously, just the way poets do, with a beautiful concept. I approach the subject,  with admiration and respect.
You are poetry in motion, I'm just getting  set. To paint a potrait,  of a perfect shiloutte, that you won't forget.  Mirror images,  sharing a secret.

I still see your face, in the same place, pages turning.
I still feel your space, heart at the same pace, pulses racing.
I still hear your voice, with all of its grace, so amazing.
I still taste your lips, my favorite taste, never changing.

Missing you for all the wrong reasons, nothings changed.
Needing you, these strong feelings,  we've exchanged.
Taught me things about love, using pain - the concept alone - insane.
Felt sane, in our zone- it's not a game - it was our home; a long
story short - the facts get distorted but the truth will live on
Then karma comes along, depending what side of the path you on
Some things stayed different some things stayed the same.
Wish we could have been strong all along.

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. 

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."

-Bruce Lee

"He Who Knows Others Is Wise. He Who Knows Himself Is Enlightened." - Tao Te Ching

The only writing advice you will ever need: “Be bold. Read much. Write much. Publish little. Keep aloof from the little wits and fear nothing.” – Edgar Allan Poe

Who would have thought.
I searched so desperately, and
Finally found my heart. and
My only gain,
was pain, and it's
tearing me apart.

Everyone claims to know your name, only a few know you. Everyone has your back, only a few show you. Everyone can feel your pain, only a few Love you. Everyone knows your face,  only a few see the real you. Always alone, nobody knows it.

As our world's collide,
Our bodies caused a storm.
Our minds made chaos.
In a sea of emotion,
We await each other.

I don't have much.
Don't want for anything,
but a path to find myself,
Less of all this mistakes.
