When They Carve My Name In Stone
The only thing I've ever owned A story worth words unspoken and unscathed When they carve my name in stone let it be known Just incase they thought wrong while I was in the physical form.
no strings attached and no debt to pay
I held on to it with total control
The path I paved through countless days
sleepless nights, restless hours, and weary minutes
in the name of liberation
They will carve my name in a stone made for me
yet I am not in a grave
my spirit flies
Remembrance floats so high
that it trickles down
to the many who won't ask why
They will simply accept the presence
of a soul manifested
in the form of a lesson and a blessing
Heavenly I will sit
promoting the gifts of the future
as I did in my present day life maneuvers
The secret of success is constancy to purpose. Benjamin Disraeli
Evolution
Searching for the unseen through the forest beyond the trees Searching for a peace of mind in a field of shattered dreams Searching for time in a cycle of sunsets Searching for better days with every breath
Maybe i'll cry before i die?
the pain is forever and we never;
know when its coming or who's going...
the mysteries of life are mindblowing...
each day i am always hoping...
that it's not my turn and i feel no pain
from my loss what will my family gain?
sometimes the tears fall freely...
alone in the dark where no one can see me...
often aks questions of life that i wonder..
seldom is an answer sent to me that i can consider..
i want the world to remember my spirit
so i write the truth so you can feel it
maybe you'll understand how feels to die inside...
why do we result to genocide...
so many friends died...
and i can't count the tears i've dried..
as parents watch their little angels ascend into the raffters..
stuck in a society where getting by only matters
The one thing that can't be replaced on this earth is time.
Thoughts Within the Sequel
The emancipation of my people turned out separate but equal
a sequel to those days when chains were just a prequel
The history of this country’s iniquity is a force
How did we start off getting sold and bought?
They built the walls up on Wall Street to keep the natives out of the picture
so now they trade stocks instead of trading stocky niggas
the stench of hate pours through the pores of a nation
saturated with ignorance, drenched by what we’re a facing
as a whole
Naysayers say we are nationalistic in form
because we want communities of our own and our destiny’s controlled
The Spanish Papi owns the store on the corner
Muhammad’s walking up
I can’t pump my own gas if I wanna
My brothers the beggar
I figure something is wrong with this picture
yeah we came so far but we still got so far to go my nigga
And they are worried about the word, I find that absurd
with our world in this condition why is that a main concern
My written word is therapeutic I pen it to mood music
grooving to the thoughts of this infrastructure I’m facing
Conglomerate cooperation’s influence on radio stations
perpetuating the sequel that’s promoted through all seasons
So I guess we’ve first gotta fall with all branches shed
Turn cold through dark nights and all the tears we bled
Spring forward rejuvenated, through the pain comes pleasure
Ignite the flame, put a mental change on our weather
