I can be you, or I can be them I can be she, or I can be him but why be a con artist of someone else like a shadow to my best friend, when I can be my own person, a unique creation created in the image of God but representin my own reflection because I don't wanna see you, them, she, or him in the mirror I wanna see me through my own eyes, 20/20 vision, but clearer but the more I conform, the image of someone else draws nearer and I begin to lose sight of myself, look back in the mirror, and see myself in the rear a shadow to another figure, a copy of a personality livin' out another person's dreamed out reality copying what they think, and succumbing to conformity but that ain't me.... what you see visually and how I appear physically is what makes me comfortable, that's why I'm an independent, politically I don't follow the norms and rules of what's most accepted socially the only commandments I live by are the ones given Biblically I ain't  the best saint though, I mean I do sin every day but the only one I wanna copy is Jesus Christ, in every possible way on the other hand, Satan is out there, trynna tempt me on how to act and even what words I say he's out offering me drinks, but I reply, "I'm okay" cause I don't care if "everyone else is doin' it" I just live how I like to live, that's what makes me a true non-conformist I dress how I wish and not because it's in style I keep my hair big, I do whatever makes me smile I'm not trynna impress you or fit into your clique I don't give women pick-up lines and act like I'm slick I'm me, just me, no facades, just real and if you can't accept that, then move forward but don't steal the things that make me special, from my poems to my appeal so don't try to change me and keep my uniqueness concealed I could care less about your thoughts and any of your judgements I refuse to give your words power, I can make your points become pointless I'm not trynna be harsh, I just love to be different I wanna be an original and keep my vibe realistic not a second you, but a first me, no counterfeit I try to keep up with what God said in Matt 26 verse 41, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak so pray not to give into temptation and stay on your feet I encourage us to keep our standards and what makes us unique and accept anyone else who doesn't wanna repeat everything you say, and everything you do sometimes it's the people that are different that come off the most true because they're not sayin or actin' in ways that you approve they're given you their honest opinion, you should keep them closest to you don't conform, forget what people want you to be just be yourself, not a copy of reality TV.

There’s a Devil of a night each year, the night of Mr. Haim! When the devilish and ghoulie ones come out to play their monster’s game. And why some would seek to trick or treat on this scary day of dead? Careful now cause gremlins, trolls …sprites and wolves, will offer up their dread! Quiet, shush, I hear a pack of creepy-crawly boots… Ra’atan-Zu and the Boogedy-Boo! And the skeleton bones, clink… And the skeleton bones, clink… The skeleton bones clink. That crafty-smith of horns and hooves is spying on these kiddies, As Ra’atan-Zu and the Boogedy-Boo are hunting strays to do their dastardly-ditties. Quiet, shush, I hear a pack of creepy-crawly boots, And their costumes, oh-so-foul, the evilest of suits! And there she is, that little girl who can’t keep up, in a tasty mushroom ensemble. And the skeleton bones clink in her path to give her quite a tomble! Ra’atan-Zu and the Boogedy-Boo! And the skeleton bones, clink… And the skeleton bones, clink… The skeleton bones clink. And Sammy Haim, that smithy-devil, a ***** hoof -igniting ghoul’s desire, He’s howling out, demanding now, “Put that child to the fire!” And little does he know, no little bit, not even a small clue, Neither Ra’atan-Zu nor Boogedy-Boo intend on giving him his due! For once a year on Halloween they get one night to spaz, Get down and ***** wild and crazy and play a little jazz! That little mushroom of a girl will play a tiny fiddle, Ra’atan-Zu and the Boogedy-Boo, a jazzy duet with child in middle!' Ra’atan-Zu, Boogedy-Boo and a little girl too as they get down actin’ a spaz! Playin’ all night, howling to the moon and kickin’ out some wicked jazz! *And the skeleton bones, clink… And the skeleton bones, clink…   The skeleton bones clink.* *

Some clichty folks don't know the facts, posin' and preenin' and puttin' on acts, stretchin' their backs. They move into condos up over the ranks, pawn their souls to the local banks. Buying big cars they can't afford, ridin' around town actin' bored. If they want to learn how to live life right they ought to study me on Saturday night. My job at the plant ain't the biggest bet, but I pay my bills and stay out of debt. I get my hair done for my own self's sake, so I don't have to pick and I don't have to rake. Take the church money out and head cross town to my friend girl's house where we plan our round. We meet our men and go to a joint where the music is blue and to the point. Folks write about me. They just can't see how I work all week at the factory. Then get spruced up and laugh and dance And turn away from worry with sassy glance. They accuse me of livin' from day to day, but who are they kiddin'? So are they. My life ain't heaven but it sure ain't hell. I'm not on top but I call it swell if I'm able to work and get paid right and have the luck to be Black on a Saturday night.

I am a bad ***** Doing bad, ***** Doing bad so long It's like a habit. Been down for so long ***** turned me into a mad ***** **** being sad ***** Sad for what? I don't have **** As soon as I got one thing **** it's gone like magic. Cause it cost more to have nothing Then to have **** All this, over compensation And tryna pay back **** That I gave to a Mf when they didnt have it. So now Im in my bag ***** Now im wrong cause im actin savage. Tryna get my life together, i thought youd be glad ***** Im jus a badd ***** Going threw bad **** Shot ain't right But that's too bad *****

Today I decided to go to my crib. I then invited my homies to bid that Lamar is goin to bring his kid. So while I'll be chillin here popin some lids, I noticed none of my homies have come to my crib, not even Lamar and his kid. So I tried actin all cool, until I saw a small red pool. I soon found myself a fool by following that pool. I found two brothers who were smothered in red. One was dead, and conceived a decapitated head. It was Lamar who was stained red. The otha brotha seemed to be a kid. I said, "Why would you do somethin like this." He said, "you will never find the otha bodies I hid." I soon found my homies did make it to my crib, Every single one of them were hung by the head. They were all there except for Lamar's kid.

Here I am, just brushin' up on my notes that someday, I'll sing to you in person That like everything else In this world These days Everything becomes a someday... But how much time do you truly have to fit in all those Long gone promised memories Known as somedays An old man once said to me "I'd like to see the Eiffel Tower" He knew his days were runnin' out But his wish turned into a someday When he passed away Passed away Life is too short To keep saying things Without meanin' it all And actin' upon it I knew this couple long ago Where they went nobody knows But they once said "Someday, we'll go to California Raise our kids just like we wanna." I think they made their wish come true... Life is better when you act Upon every single wish Don't leave any unanswered Call them all back to memories From child to old Everyone says something that turns into a someday... And time passes fast as it always did And time stands still for no one So just do it... Don't waste in the only life you have Live moment to moment Always taken a chance Oh yeah But lesson learned Don't be the old man And waste all your time...

Someday Lyrics
I decided I'm goin in. Yall dun' slipped up and left me with a pen. It seems lately I been under-drinkin' Over-sober over-contemplating what's been really happening. I'm usually a lot more subtle. I give the benefit of the doubt like I'm a Catholic priest absolving niggas' sins. Confusing my honesty for reckless abandon-in To your chagrin, just hecause you're unable to comprehend. You don't move through this world in the shoes I'm in. I bet no ones ever called you a sub-human. Did that election make YOU question all your caucasian friends? Their motives, their thoughts, biases, Lookin for Microaggressions? Now those relationships are withered at the ends and it depends on larger hearts and open minds to try and mend and re-begin? Because someone you love insulted ALL your kin. Supporting someone who blatantly hates them. Tunnel vision.Could only see what they wanted Sanctity of life only applies to babies aborted Christians were thwarted!

I decided I'm goin in. Yall dun' slipped up and left me with a pen. It seems lately I been under-drinkin' Over-sober over-contemplating what's been really happening. I'm usually a lot more subtle. I give the benefit of the doubt like I'm a Catholic priest absolving niggas' sins. Confusing my honesty for reckless abandon-in To your chagrin, just hecause you're unable to comprehend. You don't move through this world in the shoes I'm in. I bet no ones ever called you a sub-human. Did that election make YOU question all your caucasian friends?

Be you! Because there is only one you! Don't be a copy of someone's reflection or a con artist of someone else, when you can be your own person,  a unique creation! You shouldn't want to see them, her or him you should want to see you in the mirror. God didn't put you on this earth to be a copy of a person. People like to look like everyone else,  as if it was the new trend. And faker then a barbie doll. Being my own person and actin myself makes me feel free and make me feel like I don't have to put a act on in front of people just to fit in. You can do this and that to fit in but at the end of the day you're not going to have no real friends, just people that sit in your face every day acting like there your friend when there not! Nonconformity is all about being a leader which is basically being yourself and Going against the grain, if you're not a leader then you're a follower and that wears out fast.  So basically just be yourself!! #nonconformity

No woman Is worth what you put me through, Girls talk about men and the bad **** he'd do, But that's nothing compared, To the emotional despair, From terrorist attacks, from a woman's lair, **** I'd wonder why I'd care, Sayin' it isn't fair, Ya disappointment's perpetual and you were never there, Should have not got ****** now my heart need repair, And through all the pain and agony you weren't even aware, I tried to shrug my love, Pretend I didn't give a **** Hoping it didn't come back round like bad karma, ****** luck, Hard truths, Cold facts, It's all through, What's the point of part one if there's never part two? Heart's glued, Still trying to put back broken pieces, It's all you, And I'm thinkin' over thesis, Go back to observation, Evidence of perpetration, Hold you accountable for all ya allegations, It all supports my theory, If I'm superman your kryptonite when you're near me, I fear thee, Cryin' when you week and weary, Sayin' "Jared, I need a friend so please hear me" 'Cause that's the nicotine I try not to let get near me, Askin', "Are you listening?" Through self imposed misery Treatin' me like a figurine, So I play you like a tennis team, And make sure you get no love, back to my history! Because you never deserved my presence, Men try to win ya heart just a part of contestants, Just to win a section, Of your empty affection, Compulsion, and expections, Of giving that's one way in direction, Taker Take her, Come meet you maker, The distance you created like the comet did the crater, Don't ask me for no favors, Cause i savor the flavor, Of live with out you compared, To a life with you despaired, And everyday your name slips me, Is like a little victory, Because you name is to me, A bad taste in my mouth, and amnesia is my listerine, Forgetting things, Now relationships are hard, because, of what you did to me, Left me with scars, half dead like chivalry, But it still lives through me, If I ever see you again, I'll pretend, it didn't get to me, Stop talking, and start listening, Vapid actress, When will you stop actin'? You can fake love but you can't fake passion, Vapid actress, When will you stop actin'? You can fake love but you can't fake passion.

This sinking feeling sets, It feels just like a hole inside your chest. I know you're thinking, No, no, no, no, it is easier said than done, But please let me attest. I know it's hard. You're feeling like you're trapped, But that's how you react, When you cannot see the light. But try and see the light. I'm tellin' you, No, no, no, no, You're the only one Standing in your way, Just take a breath, relax, and tell me… Why? Please tell me why do we worry? Why? Why do we worry at all? Why? Just tell me why do we worry? When worry is never helping tell me Why? Why worry at all? Why do we insist, On crossing bridges that do not exist? Let's take these issues Step by step by step, to work it out, Day by day by day we're falling down, But life goes on. I've got some questions, Are you sick of feelin' sorry? Uh huh, And people sayin' not to worry? Uh huh, Sick of hearing this hakuna matata motto, From people who won the lotto, We're not that lucky. Have you noticed that you're breathing? Uh huh, Look around and count your blessings, Uh huh, So when you're sick of all this stressin' and guessin' I'm suggestin' you turn this up and let them hear you sing it. Why? Please tell me why do we worry? Why? Why do we worry at all? Why? Just tell me why do we worry? When worry is never helping tell me Why? Why worry at all? Chin up, quit actin' like you're half dead. Tears can only half fill how you’re feelin'. Don't worry, be happy baby. Stand up, life is too **** short, That clock is ticking. Man up, if ya feel me, Everybody sing it. Why? Please tell me why do we worry? Why? Why do we worry at all? Why? Just tell me why do we worry? When worry is never helping tell me Why? Why worry at all? Why? Please tell me why do we worry? Why? Why do we worry at all? Why? Just tell me why do we worry? When worry is never helping I'm not buying what they're selling So if worry's never helping tell me Why, Why? Worry at all?

Times are changing But what about our foundation Under the words of our Nation And all things by His creation Have we forgotten about that?

Can they end all this trauma? Of young girls being ***** out of their virginity All these little boys out here actin’ all hard Because they forgot about unity Wishes Broken dishes Fame Not getting’ paid 600 Billion Dollars? All to support the white collar Shit…they must be mad ballers Sittin all high livin fly Not even worrying about how they gon get by Half of ‘em don’t even have to try I want to reach out and hold my brother Let me be his cover Thru the brush fires, quakes, shakes, and floods Not one blood Our bloods Coming together in a place of Brotherhood Shaking every other’s hand Construct a band Of Solidity Of Strength Of Loyalty And With this We cannot foil And the black oil Bleeding into our conscious streams Will find a way to cease If we increase Our bond I just want to be United And be in different States I just want to be One Nation, under God, Indivisible Having the Liberty To give and have Justice For all.

Love is a two way street
Yesterday, I turned twenty-one. I was born in July, but I can smell the holly of winter and graduation is a block away. Two months ago, I was sixteen, trying to figure out high school and imagining the person I was going to be. Twenty years ago, I was ten, boxing up my life and meeting friends who took basketball just as serious. Once upon a time, I was six. As biology dictates, at some point I was even younger But time is a dream I cannot grasp I am not the same person I was then as I am not the same person I was five minutes ago if only due to the way my actin slides and the way my mitochondria only carry my mother’s DNA. Slow and passive, that’s evolution, not revolution. I still feel like an ant with a barrel of gasoline waiting for a spark to set it ablaze.
