Slow your roll playa
I'm out the door
Like '04 backyard playing with water hoses
What are those!
Things you claim to be your
moral fibers and values.
In spite of having a loving support system
With grandparents that feel indebted to
Your selfish attitude.
I can't lie dawg I've had it with you
The match has just been struck
For what am I gonna do??
Ima watch it burn to the ground
Around 9pm
The bridge was burned
Between us both &
No, I cannot swim

Constantly cries go unheard
Another mother swallows sorrow
Another man walks home ..
Another life lost
America does not love it's black brothers and sisters
Wishes and dreams of the motherland
An infatuation with Africa
A land for we DO NOT know
Home is where the heart is
And my heart is here
I shall never take a step in fear of dying

Die a failure
No I could never..
Succumb to the pressures
Of the worlds threshold
Die a follower..
No I could never
Imitate another man
With a brain just like mine
Orthodox
And I'm southpaw
The outlaw gangster
Pledging to conquer
Uncharted territory without a conscience.

Freedom roams within
A utopia where souls clash and conjoin
for a small while
Needles bend easily
Kindred spirits on the house !
A thousand and one voices ring
High end and low

Day after day
Night after night
I grow further from what I thought as a kid
And move closer to reality
Dreams are constructed
And destroyed
Only if you let outsiders contaminate
What you know to be true

When's the Leaves Fall
The world rejoices
the birth of a legend
Not for what he could achieve
But rather to celebrate a life
The simplest things
In life
Have no price tag
Or UPC
But
The cost to pay attention
Seems to have been inflated
