Money Over Anything
I need money and I need it now!
rings a melody all night long
Money makes the world go round
and the world keeps sings this same damn song
Up the ladder just a bit
Thats all I need to get chips and dip
I LOVE MY JOB, just doesn't pay enough
I really do but I guess I ain't taxed enough
A little here, a little there
I'm starving here
I second guess those healthy meals
for the cheapy deals but is it worth still?
Barely making teacher wages
I thought I made it
until gentrification
Upgraded, cheaply made it ...

Reflection of Self
Generous love
Passionate for me
Nothing in return
My presence noticed
Calls on to me
It feels good
I've cried for you
where have you been
In the beginning-end
I can't fathom without
Waiting patiently for you
I'm eager, yet sad
I almost believe in you
Come across me soon
Are you somewhere near-dear
Have you been steering clear
Alignment of you and I
Explosions I can imagine vividly
That's how were meant too
I see us as one
I think you believe too
To get you to see it ...

Awaken the Beast
I'm afraid to be left a lone
to dwell in tombs of fallacy
Sit there, take it in, over and over again
Doing nothing almost seems so cowardly
If not do nothing make things worse
Doing something takes ten times the work
But hey that's how this things called life works
I just try to eat my apples and oranges
to dwell in tombs of fallacy
Sit there, take it in, over and over again
Doing nothing almost seems so cowardly
If not do nothing make things worse
Doing something takes ten times the work
But hey that's how this things called life works
I just try to eat my apples and oranges

So Long My King
I should have loved you better
treated you like the King
because the Queen you saw me
I could have had everything
The house, the ring, the family
I messed it all up so carelessly
What was wrong with me
You was a King, and to me
I waited too late to appreciate you
And now you want nothing to do with me
It hurts, knowing you moved on
I feel I'll never find someone like you again
You loved
And I taken, gave nothing in return
I've learned to love and cherish
and I'll try to wish you the best in...

Sunken Skin
Up against my brown skin
Idk where the pain begins
Underneath this brown skin
Look into my eyes
I can see the darkness within
thats because my eyes don't lie
I heart,
I feel you somewhere deep in
but I can't control the emptiness
It flutters, beats, life inside
I'm a walking corpse
I'm carrying extra weight
Pulls my flesh from the inside
If only my insides matched my outsides
chest stabs and backstabs
Replayed memories
battle conscious thoughts
past still corrupting my...

It's Something Special
It's something only you can feel
something people can see
It's not something you hold
but something you hold on to
It's not something you ask for
It's something you just know
It's hard to break once fixed
hard to shake when you living it
It's worth more than anything in the world
and doesn't cost a thing.
It's the best part of yourself, so I heard
I crave more than anything to have selfworth
To know me is to know my story
To know my story I need to know my journey
and to know my journey I need to know self.

Roses To Roses
The saddest people wear the brightest smiles
The brightest people tend to say the dumbest things
A being can build a fortune for themselves
and never feel fulfilled
A homeless being can have joy in their hearts
even sleeping in a cardboard box
When life gives you roses
Don't pick it
because thorns do prick
The brightest people tend to say the dumbest things
A being can build a fortune for themselves
and never feel fulfilled
A homeless being can have joy in their hearts
even sleeping in a cardboard box
When life gives you roses
Don't pick it

FAKE
I'm tired of fake asses
Fake lashes
dishonoring women with pure molasses
Wanna be Kim Kardashian's
Painting your face
MTV Catfishing, team no make up lying ass
Using your body for dick attention
Giving brain
No brain, bad decisions
Loving your assets more than your prospects
And that's all in a days work
Plastic barbie taken too far
Never know who's who
or who they say they are
Faker than celebrity beef
Nicki and Cardi B
celebrity stunt, just hardly
to get your likes and followers up ...

EROTIC POEM

QUICKY!!!
Sunlight shined behind my eyes
Twilight nights mesmerized
by lust and endless sighs
I close my eyes and pretend for one night
this is it, this time is right
We climbed to the highest mountains
and peaked at the same time
I never felt so high
Then I fall short of a grip
Just like that he's gone
Twilight nights mesmerized
by lust and endless sighs
I close my eyes and pretend for one night
this is it, this time is right
We climbed to the highest mountains
and peaked at the same time
I never felt so high
Then I fall short of a grip
Just like that he's gone

Recycled Newss
Yesterdays news is still today's news
holding on to old news
No good lying news
Did I forget to mention Fox News
Pain wont let up news
Talking like its(YOU) kNEW
Turn on the news same o'lthang
All I hear is pain, pain,pain
A man got shot today
for counting his blessings the wrong way
A little girl rapped and killed
but whose to blame
His eyes blazed fire inside
Her shape no clothes can hide
brought her here to this fate to die
You pray the news will change
see the same damn...

Jealousy...
Kills your confidence
questioning yourself
seeing what you want to see
unnecessary to feel pretty
Resentment hurts the soul
peals away the layers
leaving you bare
yet always we must care
Envy separates people
different seen as perpetration
expected to walk the same stride
instead, respect individuality with pride
Animosity harms our very being
inside you bleed for help
no one changes the way you feel
forgiveness helps heal
Pettiness offers no real winners
figments of...

Speak Life Sister
My dear black sisters
Stay gold!!!
We are more than what lies between our legs
For those jewels are sweet
we are more than our assets
for our natural arches paved
silhouette,
Respect it!!!
We are born royal
for our bronzed sun kissed skin
shines brighter than diamonds
Stay gold!!!
We are more than what lies between our legs
For those jewels are sweet
we are more than our assets
for our natural arches paved
silhouette,
Respect it!!!
We are born royal
for our bronzed sun kissed skin
shines brighter than diamonds
