I ain't worried about what you saying to me,
It's more about what you ain't saying,
Those private thoughts are the most dangerous,
Be mindful of those private thoughts,
Never know what one is truly thinking,
What they saying ain't what they really think of you,
You can't trust others when it comes to the truth,
But them lies can give you comfort.

Don't cuddle with them lies too close,
Lies aren't true so don't get comfortable,
Just because it feels good,
That don't mean it's good for you,
What feels good ain't good for you,
I rather you hurt me with the truth,
Than comforting me with your lies.
DON'T TRUST WHAT THEY SAYING. THEIR PRIVATE THOUGHTS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS.
GQ James Nov 2020
Them kids feel so scared for their lives that they gotta carry them glocks. That's the world we live in but let's change the world. It ain't gotta be a cold world it can be global safe world. Our children feel neglected but let's make them feel protected.
Living in fear ain't the way to live. Them glocks and weapons we carry won't protect us, it will only get us killed much quicker.

Hands up and keep your hands visible, so they don't have a reason to shoot but at the end of the day they'll still shoot. They shoot to **** not to put fear.
The violence of the world is getting outta hand. We can't even count on the police. They don't serve and protect. They shoot and **** our brothers and sisters.

It's crazy when we can't even trust in the justice system. The officials that are in the charge aren't for helping the people but are for helping themselves.
That power tripping these officials of the law be on is quite amusing. If you can't make the world better, why not step aside and let someone who wants to.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK...
GQ James Sep 2021
Can you trust me?
Can you love me?
Can you submit to me?
Are you in love with me?
What is it about me?
Do you need me or do you want me?

I'm asking you so what are the answers,
We always question ourselves,
But let's questions our partners,
Love is simple and kind,
Not painful and complicated.

Is my love easy or hard?
Does my heart comfort you or hurt you?
Does your heart call for me?
Is your life complete with or without me?
But why?
ASK YOUR PARTNER THESE QUESTIONS?
GQ James Jun 2021
Is your life important to you?
Are you alive or dead?
Can you feel your inside your chest?
Are you a believer in god?
Do you pray?
Do you sin?
Do you think you're a good person?
Do you find yourself thinking about suicide?
Do you have people in your life that care for you?
Who do you think is your weakness?
What is your weakness?
Do you have a weakness?
Are you strong or weak?
Are you more valuable alive or dead?
CAN YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS OR NO?
DO YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS?
GQ James Nov 2020
You can lock me up but can't lock up my mind,
Can't change who I am,
You can **** me but can't **** my spirit,
My soul can't be taken from me,
I'm prayed up and covered with holy water,
The baptism of my sins,
Ain't perfect but my old ways are gone,
I've reincarnated my soul and been given a new one.

Nothing is forgotten,
Karma is very much real,
We have to answer to things we do,
How we treat others will come back upon you,
I've confessed my sins,
I've been forgiven,
But nothing will ever be forgotten.

Take a long look within yourself,
You shall see past the surface,
The element of our ways aren't always right,
You can't see nothing when you you're stuck within yourself. Open yourself up not stay closed off.

We can see more than ourselves,
If we step outside of ourselves,
There's more to the world than ourselves,
Life has more to offer than we realize,
I took a step back and realized that for myself,
Life has gotten better when I became better.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK...
GQ James Dec 2020
Why is it so many put so much importance on ***?
*** is ***. Making love is making love. Fcking is Fcking. Don't make more of it than what it is.
The emotional attachments that many associate with *** is something I'll never understand. For some reason *** is emotional for the female species.

Laying down with a man doesn't have to mean more than just that. If y'all are connected and bonding with one another I can understand the emotional attachments. Sometimes you just have casual encounters. Separate your emotions from the ****** encounters we experience. Not everyone is emotionally involved, some are just looking for a night of pleasure.

A man and a woman share pleasure but sometimes they share more. The connections can become deeper than just *** if you allow yourself to feel.
Many keep their guards up but the right one can allow you to feel safe to let your guard down.

Don't play with anyone's emotions, because it never ends well when emotions are involved. Emotions can be lethal depending on how deep you're involved. Meaningless affairs can get ugly when they were suppose to be simply and fun. That's what happens when emotions get involved. Playing with someone's emotions for your own benefit just ain't right.
EMOTIONS ARE FATAL.
GQ James Sep 2021
When my angel died and went to heaven,
A piece of me died,
If i ever lose my mama I'll be gone for good,
My mama is my heart,
My angel was my better half,
A child is all i have ever wanted,
She can never be replaced,
Even when i have a child one day,
She can never be replaced,
She's irreplaceable.

My baby girl brought me joy,
Baby girl gave me peace,
Baby girl was a gift from heaven,
She was so beautiful and precious,
Each moment was so precious,
God blessed us with a blessing.

I still carry her in my heart,
I can't forget about her and never will,
Baby girl you will forever be remembered,
Was her for a short amount of time,
But in that small time it was beautiful,
I miss you my baby.
DEDICATION TO MY ANGEL.
GQ James Dec 2020
Silence my words,
Cut my ties away from it all,
Walk away from you,
Close my eyes,
Close my mouth,
Close my ears,
Lock up my heart.

I can't hear you,
I can't see you,
I can't trust you,
Loving you died long ago,
Letting you go.

I feels no ways,
I'm not mad,
I'm content with my choice,
At some point you're just over it,
I'm silent.
I'M OVER IT ALL.
GQ James Feb 2021
why do we have to slaves the system? When are things gonna get better and when will be able to live better? I just don't get it **** sad and pathetic. Let's help each other out not try to hurt another we are sisters and brothers.

Takes too much energy to fight and hate so why not just love and get along. Let's change the cycle and make changes to the world we live in. Don't follow the trend reset the trend .
Never too late to make a change we still here. Long as their is a breathe in my body I'll do my best to have American great you can't fight fate.

And let's talk about how all these men fell like it's cool or even normal to ****. That'll never be cool or acceptable. Let's do better and respect our women not disrespect them.
Women brought us into the world so they have no right to lay hands or even mistreat a woman. Without a woman their will be no man. I know some of you won't get that or even understand. That's the difference between a boy and a man.

Don't put your hands on a woman if you wanna raise your hand , raise your hands up and ask for forgiveness for all your sins. We can all do better and improve. Don't give up that means the devil wins . God is always in control. Don't sell your soul it's never for sale. Your body is temple so respect it and yourself. Don't ever be too proud to ask for help.
LET'S NOT BE SLAVES TO THE SYSTEM BUT LET'S BE THE EXCEPTION. LET'S MAKE CHANGE.
GQ James Sep 2021
I don't know how I'ma die but I can feel it coming,
They put the gun to my head I'm not running,
I can't lose my life when I feel like it's gone,
Life hasn't been the same for awhile now,
Them rainy days turned into stormy nights.

That storm feels like it's gonna last forever,
I use to think I could make it through anything,
I don't know anymore,
Feel weak and feel like I'm falling apart,
One by one,
Piece by piece,
Mind, body, soul, spirit and heart.

If you see me bleeding don't call 911,
Just let me bleed out,
I already feeling like I've lost myself,
I feel like sleeping walking in my casket,
My life is out my hands,
I've been lost for awhile,
God still working on me,
Trying my best to hold on,
Don't know how much more I can handle.
THAT PAIN GETS THE BEST OF US SOMETIMES.
GQ James Sep 2021
Don't let them step all over you,
Put your foot down and keep it down,
You hold all the cards,
You have more power than you realize,
Take a deep look and you shall see,
Never let anyone treat you unfairly,
You don't need them,
They need you.

You can poke the bear but so many times,
Until they just can't take anymore,
Don't allow to take advantage you,
Stop playing their game,
Play your own game,
Don't follow their rules,
Live by your own rules.

I may not be perfect but I care for you,
They ain't never cared,
They only care about themselves,
Only out for themselves nobody else,
Look around and you'll see what's true,
The truth always reveals itself.

Stand up for yourself not stand still,
It's not okay to be mistreated,
Never let anyone mistreat you,
You deserve better don't accept nun less,
Respect yourself and others will as well.
RESPECT YOURSELF FIRST AND OTHERS WILL DO THE SAME.
GQ James Dec 2020
I'm in a jungle filled with animals,
Them noises get louder and louder,
When is the chaos gonna calm down?
Will the chaos ever end?
Long as I been around it's gets worse,
I took notice on many things,
I've decided to get out the way.

I tried to put an end to things,
Then I realized there's nothing I can do,
It's up to the universe,
I'm stepping out the way,
Stepping to the side,
Stay in my bubble,
Remain in my lane.

There's nothing left on the brain,
Mind is empty,
System is empty,
Emotions are empty.
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY.
GQ James Dec 2020
Lemme see your hands,
That's what the officer said,
But he still shoots like he couldn't see my hands,
Why did you shoot me?
I kept my hands visible,
I didn't resist or reach in my pockets.

You ain't need to pull out and fire your gun,
All that was unnecessary,
You think just because you're an officer of the law,
That you're above the law,
You're not above the law,
You need to be better at protecting and serving,
Stop killing us.

Protect us and stop killing us,
I'm just a innocent black man,
The black on black crime getting scary,
Black lives matter,
Ths color of my skin makes life harder,
Had a target on my back since birth.
STOP KILLING US.
GQ James Dec 2020
Why hate on me when you can love on me,
The hate is getting deeper and deeper,
You don't wanna see me win,
Only happy when I'm down bad,
The way we treat one another is just sad,
We are brothers and sisters,
Let's make a friend instead being enemies.

It ain't gotta be so animosity between us,
Let's get along and not go to war,
Put the guns down and pick up the bible,
Homicides increasing,
Economy decreasing,
Let's create a new season.

The community bleeding,
Let's stop the bleeding,
Why your family starving and you eating,
Let's all eat and break break together,
Let's stand together,
Stop the separation.

It's a war zone out here in America,
We some animals in this jungle,
Caged in,
Locked up,
Throw the key away like we ain't humans,
We humans so let's stop acting animals,
We are better than the how the world see us.
THE HATE GETTING CRAZY.
GQ James Nov 2020
Drugs flooded through the cities and streets,
Homelessness is all over and through the streets,
The struggle getting real hectic,
The struggle is taking over but let's end it,
The pandemic is taking over the lives of our people,
Our brothers and our sisters,
This pandemic is our biggest killer.

This can't be it for us,
In God we must trust don't let the devil win,
The devil comes to **** and destroy,
The poisonous venom will **** the life outta you,
The strength of prayer will keep us safe.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK...
GQ James Jan 2021
If y'all have something to say about me,
Say to me and not to her,
Always knew this would happen,
I ain't even mad but I'm very amused,
Life has a funny way of showing you things,
I see everything clearly,
All that hiding and pretending has been revealed,
The truth has come to the light,
You can hide in the dark for so long.

The lies that were told are so amusing,
The jokes on you not me,
If you only knew but too bad you don't,
Mama ain't raise no fool,
Watch what you say and what you ask for,
Life gets real different faster than you think.

The family just ain't **** that's not your fault,
Distance yourself from them,
They holding you back from your better self,
We gotta love our families from a distance,
Not everyone is meant to be in our lives,
Don't ever feel bad for living for you,
You come first over others.
YOU CAN'T PRETEND FOREVER THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES TO THE LIGHT.
GQ James Nov 2020
At one point you were all I wanted,
Now all I want is distance,
The lessons I learned being away changed my life,
Life just ain't the same anymore,
Can't expect things to stay the same,
As we get older things change,
We change as individuals,
We want different things.

What you once wanted you grow tired of it,
The back and forth just ain't what I want,
The past is just that the past,
The person you once knew is now dead,
I didn't like who I was becoming,
So I made the changes to become better,
Can't be better if we don't become better.

I can do bad all by myself don't need help with that,
The distance has brought me different things,
Life has taught me more than expected,
So many different lessons,
I made my many mistakes,
Caused lots of pain onto others,
I was young and I had no cares,
Now that I'm older I appreciate others more,
Never take what's in front of you for granted.

The mistakes we make in our past,
Come to haunt us in our future,
The past mistakes never go away,
They create bigger issues for us later,
Nothing we do is forgotten,
Karma sneaks up on us,
You'll never see her coming.
TELL ME WHAT YA THINK...
GQ James Jan 2021
That knife against your wrist is painful,
Them pills you overdose on causing pain,
I know you wanna end the pain,
You gotta think about what you're doing,
Think about what you're losing,
Think about who you'll be losing,
It can become confusing,
You ain't thinking at the time,
You just wanna end it all.

You're in pain but think about who you'll be hurting,
The ones you'll be leaving behind will be hurt,
That pain is painful,
Don't suffer alone but ask for help,
Never keep it to yourself,
We all need help,
No man or woman can do it their own.

Never think you're alone,
Can't be helped if no one knows you need help,
Let your cries be heard not silenced.
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO BEFORE DOING IT. NEVER KNOW WHO YOU'RE HURTING IN THE END. ASK FOR HELP NOT SUFFER IN SILENCE.
GQ James Feb 2021
Throat needs water from all the yelling/screaming,
Heart needs healing from all the tarnishes,
Legs have been cut from the running,
Hands have become sore from all the praying,
I have nothing left,
I rather be in a box struggling,
Than to be in a mansion suffering,
The glitter and glamour ain't always so nice,
The nicest things come with a painful price.

Don't be fooled by the gifts and money,
The free things come with a bigger price,
Mama ain't raise no fool,
I tried to see something that didn't even exist,
I finally see the clear picture,
Everything has become quite transparent.

I thought their was a ounce of goodness left,
I can see that's not the case,
We try to convince ourselves of something,
Even when we deep down know the truth,
For the first time I see it all vividly,
Ain't nothing to say the actions say it all,
Ain't mad I'm amused and not even surprised.

Same ole habits and behavior,
No matter how much time passes,
Nothing will ever change with you,
You are who you are,
It's best we both just move forward,
Ain't no looking back,
This is the end.
GQ James Dec 2020
Come in and let me take it from there,
Your body is the party tonight,
The fragrance is you,
The food is you,
The drink is you,
All I need and want tonight is you.

You asked what did you need to bring?
All you need is to bring is you,
Wardrobe is your birthday suit,
I'ma cater to you tonight,
I'ma spoil you tonight,
I'ma give you everything you want and desire.

Explore your fantasies and dreams,
Tonight is your night,
I'ma make it the best night of your life,
Let's make it last forever,
Let's keep this moment,
Stay in moment tonight,
Let's remember tonight.

I know you never had a man like me,
I'm all about you,
You deserve to be desired,
You deserve to be spoiled,
You deserve to feel wanted,
You deserve the best.
FOR THE LADIES.
GQ James Jun 2021
The one I learned a long time ago,
You can't change anyone,
Don't bother even trying,
You'll be wasting your time,
I don't even engage into it honestly,
I just live my life accordingly.

Behavior tells it all,
Them words don't do nothing but finesse,
Don't fall for those words,
Watch those behavioral patterns and actions,
That's where the truth resides.

Words don't have any meaning,
Actions have all the meaning you need,
Words are smooth and they sound good,
But those actions don't always feel as good.

Many will tell you what they think you wanna hear,
Truth is half the time it's not what you wanna hear,
I wanna hear and see what's true,
Not what's bullsh*t,
Don't gas me up and feed me lies,
Just give it to me straight and raw.
LIES COME EASILY OFF THE TONGUE BUT TRUTH COMES EVEN EASIER IN THEM ACTIONS. YA FEEL ME?
GQ James Sep 2021
Im tryna survive in these streets,
It's funny when you look around,
And realize all you got is yourself,
Nobody around to help,
Makes you think about your life,
My life doesn't feel worth living anymore,
It keeps getting worse not better.

I feel like leaving and not returning,
There's nothing anyone can say or do,
I can't deal wit all this,
Too much coming at me at once,
It's not slowing down,
It keeps coming that sh*t speeding up.

Y'all keep trying to have faith,
But how can you have faith at this point?
I have nothing to have faith in,
Can't tell someone something,
If you're not in their shoes,
Everyone's struggle isn't the same,
Y'all don't know what i go through,
Don't even what i suffer with mentally.

My life ain't your life,
Your pain isn't my pain,
What you go through and what i go through,
Ain't the same thing,
Something has to change,
If not i don't know what I'm going to do,
I'm at my breaking point.
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL IN THEM STREETS.
GQ James Dec 2020
If you wanna know me,
Spend time with me don't judge me,
We all make mistakes,
But our mistakes doesn't define us,
It just shows we are humans,
If we don't **** up we can't learn,
Never think ******* up means you're a **** up,
There's no such thing as a perfect person.

Perfection doesn't exist,
Trying to be perfect will **** you faster,
If they don't accept you for you that's on them,
You are special the way god made you,
Don't allow nobody to change you,
You're unique in your own way.

I saw some things in myself I didn't like,
I then decided to change my ways,
Nobody made me change,
I made the changes within myself,
If you don't like what you seeing,
Change what you see within yourself.
MISTAKES ARE NORMAL. DON'T REPEAT EM BUT LEARN FROM EM.
GQ James Dec 2020
I didn't give up and I never will give up,
Life has been throwing stones at me all my life,
Them stones don't do nothing but bounce off me,
The tests we are faced either make us or break us,
Choice your own fate,
Don't allow anyone else to choose your fate,
The struggles will always be there,
You can overcome the struggle,
You can weather the storm,
Make sure you bring your umbrella.

First it starts to sprinkle,
Then it begins to drizzle,
Shortly after it begins to rain,
After that it begins to storm,
There's nothing that can stop this storm except you.
THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN WEATHER THE STORM IS YOU.
GQ James Nov 2020
I can't get caught in love no more,
Love can get real twisted real quick,
EMOTIONS involved changes everything,
Can't make promises,
Things always happen unexpectedly,
EMOTIONS can get the best of you.

Web of lies get real wicked,
Web of destruction gets real twisted,
Web of love is dangerous,
The webs ties you in deeper and deeper,
Can't help who we get tied into and with,
Our EMOTIONS take over our judgement.

Loving the wrong one can have somewhere you don't wanna be. Loving the wrong way will show you things that you thought you'd never see with your eyes. Love is more fatal than the drugs we take.
Your heart can mislead you,
Follow your mind not your heart.
DEEP THOUGHTS.
GQ James Feb 2021
Homelessness to evictions to robberies,
Why all the poverty and violence?
Why can't we share wealth, peace and love?
Is it that hard?
It shouldn't be so hard,
It's actually pretty easy,
You eating while your people starving,
What kinda person are you?
We can all eat not just you,
Treat our brothers and sisters as equals,
Not treat em like peasants.

It has to get better,
We gotta treat our brothers and sisters better,
If you eating then feed your family,
Never let your family starve,
There's more love to be shared than hate.

Our way of living has to change,
Things only change when we change them,
Change doesn't happen on its own.
DON'T LET YOUR FAMILY STARVE WHILE YOU'RE EATING.
GQ James Dec 2020
How you say you love,
Then show you me you hate me,
Love and hate can't occupy the same space,
Love doesn't hurt you,
Love doesn't bring you pain,
The wrong type of love does,
That toxic love does,
The wrong person will bring you pain.

Don't tell me you love me,
Love don't live here anymore,
The time has expired,
There's nothing left to be said,
Nothing left to do but to sign the papers,
Sign, sealed and delivered.
WRONG TYPE OF LOVE WILL HURT YOU.
GQ James Jan 2021
You're a lady,
You should be treated as such nothing less,
If you're not cherished, uplifted, respected,
All the things you deserve and more,
You should wait on it,
Don't deal with nothing less,
Queens are valuable,
Your worth is priceless,
Don't let him take you for granted,
If he can't see your worth,
Leave him behind and move forward.
YOU'RE A LADY SO YOU SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.

— The End —
