Something's wrong

We’ve seen the news……everyday something new, natural disasters, bodies going to their final resting places

Education system failing out children, but the blame can’t go completely on teachers since it starts with home

Used to have to watch out for the police harassing me when I’m driving a nice car now though

Head on a swivel, looking out for people that look like me

Jealousy so they want to take my life to bring more material things to theirs

Why?........

NO BROTHER I WANT TO KNOW WHY?!

I have a family that will miss me if you take my life

Leave me here in this street, in a pool of blood wondering why we do what we do

Black on black violence, the new ethic cleansing

Willie Lynch was right after all we turn on each refusing to let the next one run the race we choose to trip him

Even if that means someone from the other side wins

My People

My People
We got to do better
Not just to keep up
With the Jones’
But do it for self
Aren’t you tired?
Of being a joke
Notice how
They
Only interview the one
That looks like they just
Rolled out of bed
And completely ignore
The one in the suit
That has knowledge floating
Around their head
Don’t tell me
That is how you were raised
Break the cycle
Aim higher
Evolve
Seems like we’re comfortable
Playing the monkey at the circus
And that isn’t disrespect to anyone specific
But if the shoe fits
Then you need to wear it
We need to change
To elevate
Only we
Can fix us

Living Dead

I am here
But not really
I walk amongst you
But can’t be seen
I live in this world
But I am not of it
What good is it
To be clean
On the outside
But the inside
Needs a power washer
To rid the dirt
The new me was born
So to make room
The old me has been laid
To rest
Renewed
Influenced by the holy ghost
While standing exposed
Showing the whole me
Here I am Lord
I surrender
It all to you

Makings Of A Man

Spirit
Determination
Drive
Will
Knowledge
Maturity
And of course
Ego
Coming of age
Still trying to avoid traps
Extract venom from my blood
So that I can finally live my life
I want to walk worthy
That is a hike
That's hard
But right
My essence
My very being
The makings of this man
