Medusa
She was cursed through no fault of her very own
She saw herself as ugly through and through, someone no one would ever want
Everyone that she loved turned their backs, she was cursed by the gods
She thought that she was doing everything right, but she was going against the odds
She retreated to hidden caverns deep within her heart and mind
For ages upon ages she suffered, transformed, and made herself hard to find
Round eyes took on an almond shape, with a slant and freezing stare
She moved as if slithering, and a pit full of vipers resembled her hair ...

Intersecting Sage
I was standing on the corner of Always Last and First
And I found myself watching a procession following three hearses
I find myself here at this intersection, in the middle of nothing, a sagebrush
Capable of with standing the harshness of anything, yet vulnerable to the slightest touch
Sun parched by day, yet enduring the frigid temperatures of my nights
I've been treated like this all of my life so this makes everything seems alright
This ground that surrounds me remind of the terrain of my heart and mind
Each within the first two hearse,...

A Real Woman
We have all watched women moving about, but it's different when on your arm
There is nothing like walking around a mall or park with a woman on your arm
To feel her fluid movements as she moves along with you
With people wondering why you look so proud, but they have no clue
I'm continuously gaining strength the closer that she clings to me
Hahaha, no one even realizes that she's told me a joke that is so freaking nasty
Light punches to my arm as we both soar and merge in laughter
Simply looking into her eyes tightens my chest making my heart...

Stargate
The chevrons are open, the ancients have spoken
Our spirits have awoken because of treaties that were broken
You were warned about a sleeping bear, yet you kept on poking
Mistaking those bred for war as nothing but tokens
Ancient historic scripts as far back as the original four tribes
But we represent the eight that resulted when the chevrons collide
Mimicking each other, we were similar in the exact same ways
But they entered within our circle limiting our right to say
Our ancient script was deceived by coded...

Insurrection
On a poor man's dollar, a rich man's dreams decided to ride
He decided to tax that poor man for money to help him and his kind hide
The rich man devised a system that allowed him to cheat, hiding his assets
Continuously breaking the system so that they could steal all that they could get
The stock exchange is the same as Vegas and Atlantic City
Though when you walk into a casino the odds aren't that shitty
If you loose your money in the casino, you know that your money was taken by the house
But when the markets crash and your money disappears,...

Hounds Of Hell
Enemies and their allies put on a chase
With our noses all up in their asses to ensure their haste
Like wild dogs, not a stride goes to waste
Giving them no time to camp, sleep, or give food a taste
Tails to mouths like hounds circling their prey
Three hundred and sixty degrees of death, that's our way
Elk hounds and great danes have the bears retreating to their cave
With no more than witches and clubs, they attempted to display their rage
We came with aggression, wielding swords and shields
Our chants enraged and excited them...
With our noses all up in their asses to ensure their haste
Like wild dogs, not a stride goes to waste

Elk hounds and great danes have the bears retreating to their cave
With no more than witches and clubs, they attempted to display their rage
We came with aggression, wielding swords and shields

Satch
Why was the Negro league obliterated
Haha and incorporated into those that once hated
Could it had been because of the the fans that patiently waited
Although their money was better, they wanted to see who's player was the greatest
Colored fans pushed out of the stands and onto the hillsides
With white fans willing to sit by anyone and let color slide
To see those bronze warriors, most of them playing this game for free
Pitching, hitting, and running like over grown kids was really something to see
Who's that boy, and who's boy is that ...

Africa
You may wonder why I chase you with such determination
The color of your skin represents the birth of my whole nation
The swell of your hips reminds me of my whole foundation
I can't be wrong declaring these essential sensations
Forged in the fires of olden times
Tempered with all that can harm my body and mind
Pulled from the flames red hot and quenched in the pool of my heart
"ETERNAL" engraved into your spirit before the flesh even starts
The spirits watched as this plays out, they've never seen this before
Flesh merging...

My Mermaid
I love sitting here on the shore listening to the crashing waves
Watching with a little clarity as the fog rolls in, as if riding the waves
I watch with the patience of a hunter for a connection grave to grave
As the fog slowly lifts, a vision of you made me feel as if I was saved
I was so far down in the depths when you reached down for my hand
A life line was grasped, with buoyant light giving life saving commands
Ever so slowly allowed to decompress as I was steadily risen
The air that you breathed into my lungs was life giving
As I rose...
Watching with a little clarity as the fog rolls in, as if riding the waves
