Little Sherdavia's Heart Can Rest
It happened on a precious day,
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
A round fired so mystical and astray
Took little Sherdavia's life away.
She was only nine years old...
Damon Darling, as hard as it seems,
You can imagine her hope and dreams,
Playing on the porch in the Pork-N-Beans
Until your mystical round intervenes.
She was only nine years old...
Yellowman, it was the day of peace,
So why a grown man fought in the streets,
When it could have just come to cease
Instead of slaying a...

Worth the Wait
Baby, my arms had just got so weak,
When they were not fit for your sleep;
My core had always hurt and turned,
After you said I make your soul burn.
Baby, all I wanted was to be your best,
But I can see that you are not impressed;
So here I will stay and state
You are indeed, sweetie, worth the wait.
I can see that life is so unfair,
Because it limits the quality time we share;
So many times I wish I were your shadow,
Just be with you all day wherever you go.

Welcome Worn Out
To think my welcome has worn out
In the only place I have called home:
The police told me that I must go about
From the one city in which I had grown.
Listen here, I was born here,
Raised not too far down the street;
Liberty City in my heart, so it’s no fear
Pumping blood of triumph, never defeat;
My eyes filled with hope and pride,
When I noticed heritage and wealth;
This city is home beyond any to reside
As I fight for liberty everywhere else.

I Like
Grace and mercy are what you provide,
Provide just enough to get me through this life;
Blood from your body has protected me,
Don't let me go, O Lord, all my fears must be set free.
Jesus, all my life,
I will praise you Christ
I know just how to do it,
And I'm going to prove it.
I like the way you chose me,
I like the way you hold me,
I like the way you've saved me,
I can't get enough of how you graced me.
The Truth and Life are who you are,
The Way to the Father, my bright morning star;
You...

Here Comes the Messiah
Here comes the Messiah,
Behold everyone it's the real Christ,
Coming back to give us eternal life.
Here comes the Messiah,
For a church without wrinkle or spot,
Here we are, the ones you never forgot.
Guess You already know who I read about alone,
And whose blood I used to bless my little home;
It's no secret, it's been a hard road to eternal life;
I even sacrificed myself to just sanctify my ex wife.
The walk was difficult, but with faith we managed,
Trusted Your Word and we obtained an advantage;
No longer we are...

All Night
Tonight, we can go out to that restaurant,
You've been telling me about all week;
When I get off duty, I'll give what you want,
Without you again having to even speak.
We can go to the movies and the park,
Because tonight, baby, it is all about you;
I will get the babysitter for the kids afterdark,
Wait for me to get off is all you have to do.
Tonight, baby, it is only for you and I,
Wear that new dress I laid on the bed;
Tonight will be one to appreciate my wife,
All night giving you quality time instead.

When God a Woman Like You
Baby, I was selfish to think I can do this alone,
The Lord placed you in my life to make US strong;
Completely embracing that I have been wrong
And life with you has given me meaning and a home.
When God made a woman like you,
He made...
A song of patience,
As you waited for me to find you;
A song of promise,
As I stand before you and behind you.
When God made a woman like you,
He made..
Amazing how I dodge this good feeling all my life,
What a GREAT THING to find in you, to find a wife;
Love, I need...

Too Late To Right My Wrong
It would take a miracle to get you now,
After I was too busy chasing every skirt,
Instead of realizing that I'd lose you somehow
To some other man who really values your worth.
Beautiful as you are since I first saw you,
I foolishly took my eyes off such pretige;
You are quite the queen of dreams, a blessing too,
And after the women, my heart is under siege.
I feel like the greatest piece of me,
Now gone, so long long gone;
When I know that I'd messed up
And it is too too late right my wrong.
Such a...

Do You Remember Overtown?
Do you remember Overtown,
Before it was an Overtown,
Long before the epidemics
Came in and slowed us down?
Crack, cocaine, heroin,
And the infamous crystal meth,
Broke us down to where,
We cried for it with our last breath.
But there was a time,
When we had a better day,
We gave all Muhammad Ali,
Two years after we got Cassius Clay.
We had such good times,
The Lyric Theatre before silence
Gave sound to Ella, and Miles
With the aide of some violins.

Happiness Begins
Happiness begins with blessings from heavens above,
Happiness begins with all that I prayed for,
Happiness begins with what every man dreams of,
My true happiness only begins with your love...
Happiness begins with sacrificing my whole life,
Happiness begins with bidding loneliness goodbye;
Happiness begins with crying all my tears away,
My true happiness only begins with you everyday...
It's no question true happiness may not sound real,
Something very hard to wait for and keep still,
But you are the one who gave me something to...
