Seeking the philosophies and convictions of others will stop me from finding my own
Life is happening while my head is buried in books
God is here while I'm looking there, and there while I'm looking here
Do I need others to tell me what I know to be true?
Will I spend my whole life missing the point?
Reading for fear of living

Action is meaningless without meaning
Meaning is meaningless without action
Off you go...

Ya Know I'm A Man of CONVICTION...
Whose NOT Been In PRISON... !!!!!

Because I Condition My Body And Mind...
To AVOID.................... FOOLISH Fights... !!!!!
That CLEARLY AREN'T Wise... !!!!!

My Conviction In Life...
Is To Use Peaceful Vibes...
To Help Me... LIVE RIGHT... !!!!!

However THAT Line I Think You Will Find...
Is NOT How I Ride When Temperatures RISE... !!!!!

I Am A BIG GUY So... You Should Play NICE... !!!
And Make Me Wear SMILES Cos' FROWNS Are The Guide...
That I'm Getting STRESSED And About To Get VEX... !!!!!!

And TRUST In THIS Text...
ANYTHING Could Come Next... !!!!

But As I First Said...
My Convictions EMBRACE...
A More... " Peaceful Place "...

But When It Comes To... My Wordplay...
My Convictions DISPLAY An ARRAY of Thought Waves...
ANALYTICAL and CRITICAL of How We Live Today... !!!

CONVICTIONS Now CONDITIONED...
To Play... Society's Games...

"DON'T SAY THIS ! DON'T SAY THAT !" ...

"Say THAT AGAIN, You'll Face My GAT !" ...

I'm Sad To Say Such Vibes Are FACT...
With... NOT ENOUGH CONVICTIONS...
That Put THESE FOOLS In PRISON... !!!!!

TOO MANY HOLD Convictions...
With Missions NOT To Listen... ?!?
A Conviction LACKING Wisdom...
And OPEN Minded... Visions...
Allowing For MORE THINKING.................

And Thought That's...

.............. NOT CONDITIONED............. !!!!!!

Like THOSE Who Stay... "IMPRISONED".... !?!
Within A World That's....... " sinking "........ !!!!

Like Ships On Television...
Or Cinema BIG SCREENS...

Do You See What I Mean... ???

My Convictions... LEAN...
To CONNECTABLE Seams... !!!!!
While SOME It Seems NOW LEAN With Teams...
Where Thoughts NOW RECEDE...
From THEOLOGICAL Themes...

Like... " Adam and Eve ".... ?!?

What Am I SEEING... ?!?

" Genevieve and Eve And Adam and Steve "... !?!

Well Virge DON'T Sway My Game's STILL STRAIGHT...
When It Comes To *** GAMES And Talk About Race... !!!

It Seems SOME... "hide positions"...
Where Racism's CONDITIONED... !!!!!

While OTHERS HOLD Opinions...
That Racism's NOW Slippin'........................... .................
Like DRIPPING In A Kitchen.... ?!!!?

So DOESN'T NEED To Be Spoken About... !?!
Tell THAT To The Fam' of MICHAEL BROWN... !!!!

A Young Man GUNNED DOWN By Police Who HOUND...
Young Blacks in Towns... Like They've ALWAYS DONE... !!!!

So...
What They Gonna Say NOW... !?!?!

THESE... CONDITIONED Mouths...
Who DON'T FACE Police Guns... !!!!!

What They CLAIM Is Like Saying...

RACISM Will Die... !?!
And CHAUVINISM ISN'T Part of Life... ?

Which IS... Just ANOTHER LIE... !!!!!

If THAT's What They Be Thinking...
Their ***** NEED ***** To Lick Em'... !!!!!
While Women Do... **** LICKIN'... !!!!!

These Lyrics I'm Now KICKIN'...
PROVE That I'm NOT Conditioned...
To ACCEPT Societies' Ways... !!!!!

IF Gay Folks Are THE SAME...
As EVERY OTHER Human Face... ?!?
CAN'T They TAKE LYRICISM...
That Gives Out CRITICISM...
of How They NOW Be Living...
IN FRONT of Peoples' Vision... ?!?

And Words From THOSE Now Quizzing...
From Muslim Crews To... Christians... ?!?

Whose FORMAT of... " Religion "...
Takes The STANCE of WOMAN and MAN...
As The FAMILY PLAN By Which They STAND... !???!

Which Can Be CONFIRMED... " HISTORICALLY "... !!!!

That's EQUALITY To ME...
That STANDS FIRM and TALL...
EQUALITY... For ONE And ALL... !!!!!

NOT Something That LEANS...
When Traditions FALL... !?!

It's Just A Simple QUESTION...
So DON'T You Start... " Suggesting "...

That... " Virge Holds HATE ! "...

WITHIN My Brain... I'm Merely Saying...
That CONVICTIONS Have CHANGED... !?!

Like Maybe They Could And Probably SHOULD... !!!
When It Comes To The Names Who RUN The State...
of Nations NOW CONDITIONED To HINDER Peoples' Living...

In... NATURAL Human Ways... !!!
Because Nowadays Technology REIGNS... !!!
But What Have We GAINED Are We MORE HUMANE... ?!?

Or... CONDITIONED And Lame... !!?!!
When It Comes To CONFRONTING...
THOSE Pushing and SHUVVING...
Like Feds'... Using TRUNCHEON... !!!!!!

It's Time For MORE LOVING...
And MUCH LESS Gun Clutching... !!!!!!!!

So....
Here's Some Last Thoughts...

CONDITIONED Minds Tend To Be Blind...
To What They SEE So... " Live In Dreams "...

And CERTAIN Conditions...
DO NEED INQUISITIONS... !!!!!

Before Their ADDITION Becomes A DOMINION...
Where People STOP Building And Become THE VILLAIN...
of Human Submission To Simply... NOT THINKING... !!?!!

I Now See My Life's MISSION As Seeking TRUE WISDOM...
So Just Like The Visions That... Big Virge Has Written...

These Things I Now Do...
With PURPOSE and......

..... " CONVICTION ".....

Your view
is skewed
and my view
is true

**** all that oppose
the spoken word.
This is the way
to our purity
and their salvation.

The will to hold back tears
To not submit to fear.
The birth of bandaids
To hide bruises and scars made.
The talent of using words
To misguide the ignorant world.
A cool barrel shoved with daggers,
A ticket to enter hell or heaven.
Or just eternal blindness, deafness, talking...less
...
It’s bliss, isn’t it?
