The Bully
Growing up
I would take an outsider's position
The quiet one
Other outsiders would mention
I never said a word but I quietly listened
And I didn't get disturbed
They inspired ambition
Man
I got judged when my attire was different...
Everybody must've thought I desired affliction
Honestly
That's exactly what inspired my vision
I was focused on myself instead of trying to fit in
Yes
The bully came up disguised as a friend
At first I didn't know because they'd hide it within
Now they get exposed because they lied to...

A Sinner's Plea
Please Lord listen to a sinner's plea
No excuse for things done deliberately
Eventually
It came back and hit me right where it hurt
Full of self-renunciation like denying it works
To belligerence to satan who's supplying the dirt
What a vital elevation
I was crying at first symbolically
I know a pigeon symbolizes peace
But I see optimism as just a way to hide the grief
And to me
Altruism seemed to come with a fee
I mean involuntary work specifically
Have mercy on me for insubordination Lord
I know I have sinned and death will be the...

Nightmare pt 1
Code black
This wasn't a drill!
The adversaries opened fire and your cousin was killed..
Stay low!
Get Moho over the hill!
He's the camera operator there holding the film!
Lets move!
Yes sir!
And he slowly begun...
Then took a deep breath as he loaded his gun
Could've sworn he seen death on a soldier in front
Shortly after
He knelt with a hole in his lung
What a shame
Robby! Private Arlene is his name!
Commander do we leave him in the rain?
Commander he's in pain!
Robby keep up the movement! ...

Hanging By A Thread
Hanging by a thread
I'm not a one who waits to be misled
Hate that I'm restating what was said?
Excessive blood shed
I fainted in the hall
Hanging by a thread in a painting on the wall
I tried to make it fall when I came to
Thinking of the slaves who
Got whipped then got told to go and make food
Stay true and the honest will see
Delivery
Even from the likes of Simon Legree
Tried to hide it from me
But the Lord brings fact
Has our story just started?
Well thats exactly how they act
If you back track deep into the truth...

A Shame
Trying to please the world proves absent and aimless
This explains why most Christian rappers ain't famous
And it remains that some do want the attention
But have a hard time separating facts from the fiction
And those who actually get it
Never fail to go astray
Instead of Yahweh they praise
Their wicked monetary gains
It's a shame but they love their way of living
If not broken don't fix it
Anthropogenic consequences on the rise
It's clear the social statuses divide
When empathy died
The white dove flew away
Oh no it...

A Little Bit Of Hope
Fortification
Trouble knocked upon the door and was waiting
For every new accomplishment
This was the compensation
I've confiscated every negative approach
Thrown into the furnace
And then politely off the boat
Couldn't stand to watch it smoke
Some choke at the thought of confusion
But what it all boils down to
Lost in illusions
Cause' if you thought you were losing
Then what else should you expect?
Debt dictated mind
All she could do was stress
Be vexed
Like the Law of Attraction was just a joke
Pray daily
You can't get...

Black Widow
Now the picture you had painted me was perfect
Hidden intention
I kept on digging and unearthed it
Grappled and dispersed it
Now I'm on my merry way
Dragged back by attachment I don't remember taking place
Meshwork and tangled lace
To the stool beneath your feet
Call me when there's a problem
But tables turn
And nothing's free
Wonder what you want from me?
Departure is due
Preying on me like a widow or a vulture or two
You should let me go before I stand and explode
You shouldn't cage a cobra with your hand at it's throat
I...

What's The Deal
Obviously she has a problem with me
For no reason I can see
Am I the cause of her grief?
Secretly accusing me of everything with no proof
Physically abusing you
Your family haven't a clue
I try to keep it positive but I believe you should move
Or would you rather stay at home and be continuously used?
Now today I'm feeling blue
Is there a way I can help?
You're contemplating calling cops
I'd rather do it myself
When you take that first step
I'll be there for support
Jealousy is something serious
You should take it to court

December Fourteenth
Why would someone kill a baby?
The end's hic et nunc maybe
I want to see a better future but my vision's hazy
Things are getting crazy
Campus casualties
A mother and father left cold
Now their child's deceased
And even though it wasn't me
I feel it
To send all your pride and joy to school
And someone steals it
Nothing compares
Look in my daughter's eyes
I'm lucky she's there
To feel the pain the parents felt and hell it's something to bare
But hey
I say I'll pray for you
Keep the faith
Promise you'll smile through all...

The Bottle On The Curb
Look!
There's a bottle on the curb
Clear out of place
Danger-some and undisturbed
Apparently abandoned once it's purpose was complete
Sucked dry of it's product and then bedridden to the streets
There I saw a broken bottle
And as stagnant as it seemed
If you dare to impede
Bleed
Agony agleam
I wonder if that bottle there was meant for me to see
Stereotypical image
Negatively preconceived
They claim it was the bottle fabricating squalid scenes
Only needless conceit and overweening self esteem
The owner of the bottle that was...

Couldn't Hide It From Me
"Take your hand and spread the olive oil in shape of a cross, brainwashing compilations of communities lost, propaganda ran rampant through the streets, while gentrification just takes away a place to sleep, oh the vagrant families, gunshots taking lives like a thief, you wouldn't believe how many people here could die in a week, they couldn't hide it from me, Uncle Sam didn't care, dogmatic appearance, indoctrination everywhere, televised lies and obloquy envelope the nation, in the hour of apocalypse, society's changing, and I refused to stand here waiting on another to come, like I...

On Track
The mind of a child is where the revolution begins
Constitute your own style
Drop the usual trends
Hard work does breed satisfaction
Better the bunch if bad seeds are extracted
Breaking down habits like pedagogues do to mathematics
Add all positive and take the bad and subtract it
We really don't have time to complain
Others don't care
What's on your mind anyway
So try and keep the faith
Cause' trouble doesn't last
Patience is key
The world process wasn't fast
Constitute your own style
Drop the usual trends
Hard work does breed satisfaction
Better the bunch if bad seeds are extracted
Breaking down habits like pedagogues do to mathematics
Add all positive and take the bad and subtract it
We really don't have time to complain
Others don't care
What's on your mind anyway
So try and keep the faith
Cause' trouble doesn't last
Patience is key
The world process wasn't fast
