Sometimes change can make you feel inadequate* Especially when you feel like you are capable but the credentials aren't sufficient* And your past always comes back like a text from your ex* And your failures sit in the pit of your stomach* You want more but you're stagnant because of the direction you've taken* You try to rebuild but you can't knock it down and start over* It's too expensive and too much time on a building that is structurally fine* So you renovate and remodel* You can't dwell on the past* This is the path you've chosen or been chosen* Don't be confined by the walls look towards the window and remember change is good*

You can hear the cypher in the slaveship* Breakin beats rhythmic speech when the waves hit* And we don’t stop singing even when the days shift* To night with our might hold on to the pride we came wit* New land ahead the ocean calls to us for freedom* And some of us sunk into it finding heaven beneath them* Panic in their blood but they never let it seize them* Stronger for the struggle I love you for what we’ve become* Social consciousness we bowed and raised the black fist* We sometimes fall wayward but we are a young black gift* And the 50’s and 60’s gave us this to reminisce* About times and turmoil based on a dream and a wish* We’ve come so far but we are far from wealth* Some of us rich some of live in good health* But we gotta lift those from the bottom not just ourself* And we can’t rely on one another we can’t rely on help* Govt assistance is persistant to keep us under control* Tell us how to live how to maintain keep us in their mold* Like the shackles of old they mentally keep is in the hold* Our personal Jesus the devils are keepers of our soul* think we’re all criminals ok jimmy lock opportunies doors* Home invasion in the white house obama give him another four* We weren’t just slaves some free Africans Spanish Moors* It was us who  brought music in life to America’s shores* Remember when you wearing your chains where it came from* Deep in the bowels of the ship melanin shaded from the sun* Inhale the stench poisoned below toxic in our lungs* But we still rose and that song was still sung*

Which way is up? Waking up everyday is luck*

I can say I’m amazed I never ended face up*

My complexion got me stressing without chest protection*

I’m cemented surrounded by chalk wit my soul jettisoned*

To another plain and my mother in pain*

Wondering where it came from, police got nothing to say*

Shrugging their shoulders, who shouldn’t got in the way*

There I lay just another #blacklivesmatter display*

Doesn’t change, not my clothes it’s the size of my nose*

My hair texture, because I use a brush and not a comb*

Ridiculous? So is the idea every black man is suspicious*

Take a boy before he’s grown too young to find out what a gift is*

This is not new, 3/5 zero worth*

This land is yours we’ve been renting it since birth*

It seems our time is borrowed I dictate this with sorrow*

It could be you or me that they tweet about tomorrow*

I feel as if I’m talking to you*

If I conjure your soul*

Am I the man that you thought I’d be?*

Or do you just want me to be the best possible*

I’ve had more wins than losses, but i’m still that child*

That sat on your lap and placed my head in your chest*

You were my grand*

So sometimes i lose focus but i know you’re still there*

I take a sharp turn and I’m back where I believe I should be*

You wouldn’t judge, you gave me tools and I’m still building*

Baptize Me

Baptize me in those everlasting eyes, take me back to a time when things were

     so simple*

The tracks on my mind with motives to seduce, you choose to exploit my        

     mental*

My physical is only a formality so I pretend normalcy, You usurp for royalty*

Empress pressed on me I toil to be free*

Baptize me in your lucid lips there’s truth in your hips you open the gates

     of heaven pull with a for centrifugal, I’m spinning around backwards,

     losing my grip*

Reality spins like a spiral blown by your words my hearts a pinwheel by your

     direction*

I’m baptized by your tender hands and I bend at your touch I pretend to 

     comprehend*

My weakness, your power begin to mend*

Descend to a never ending rapture I ascend*

Baptized in your heavenly gates I’m twisted by fate as I grip your waist*

Simplicity in your face, I taste your angel tears, you erase my fears forever in 

     your grace*

False Apathy

I don't care* I really don't care* I do not care* I don't* I don't care I don't fucking care* I love you

My True Loves (Yes They All Rhyme)

In the middle of thinking of words to say*

Riddle in my mind visions of verbs start to play*

Around on the playground of ideas*

Navigate my way around beyond what appears*

Realize I got a gift of gab with this here rap*

My pen is just as dangerous wounded in a bear trap*

Awkward thinker off a little but you’ll see the picture*

Get a jolt from a small bolt of energy light fixture*

I love my family especially my little sister*

And when I think of a beautiful soul its her*

Something so innocent something so pure*

In all the years of poison she is my one cure*

She reminds me constantly what it is to be young*‘

And when all that mattered was to see the sun*

I feel the concrete under my feet that’s’ where I’m from*

My mom raised me praise her guided me from the gun*

I’m not perfect thank my dad for instilling values*

And still I battle to kill the sin lord knows I have to*

We all heard that all is fair in love and war*

I war wit my fear of love fatigued yet I endure*
