United We Stand
The Years have come and gone while the tears have sung a song
A three letter chorus
to overcome the destruction that lays before us
"U-S-A, U-S-A"
This same chant still rings
"day-to-day, day-to-day"
Reminding me of the lives lost
Like sending my brother and friends father over seas will bring back the lives lost
But I ask, at what cost?
To end the war or to leave me as an only child?
To end the war or to leave her without a father?
A daughter without her daddy, seems like a golfer without its caddy. At least to me.
So...

In My World
In my world everything would change,
for the better.
No more cities being destroyed by mother’s weather
Children would die as soon as,
Never,
However
I'm stuck, in this world
Forced to endeavor nothin better,
than possibly bein beat to permanent sleep
While parents weep so deep
and bottled feelings dont seem to seep out
But on the plus,
I'd never have to hear you fuss
and cuss 'cause of your lack of trust
My heart is filled with lust
but not for sex more like safety,
see in my world
the world we all dream for
but never...
for the better.

R.est I.n B.liss
My minds runnin a race
But it feels like im in second place
All I have is devotion
And a heart full of pure emotion
I know I cause complications
But im tiered of this hallucination
All I see is you and me
But in front of me its just a mirror
Reflecting envy and sorrow
Its gets me angry for tomorrow
So I empty a pill bottle
And get rushed to the hospital
I wonder if this is part of gods test
As they shock and pump my chest
I flat lined for the last time
And wake up in heaven this time
Looking at my family
Oh how much ive...
But it feels like im in second place

Its gets me angry for tomorrow
So I empty a pill bottle

Lets be honest
I am loving and loyal
I wonder why we have mansions, yet homeless children
I hear Silent screams longing for help
I see pride get in the way of trust and change
I want A better tomorrow, led by a great today
I am changing and trying
I pretend to be who I’m not, for safety
I feel safe in this fantasy
I touch the hurt imagining an equal world
I worry I won’t make an impact in this struggling generation
I cry when I see my friends and family hurt, suffer, and give up
I am strong and determined
I understand it will take patients and time
I say...

Long Overdue
Damn life's a gamble
whys everything gotta be a struggle
We get dealt hands we dont want
And fold before the flop
like were leaving before our time
why cant we just stop
all this death, hate, and crime?
if I had a dime for every card folded before its time
I'd be known more than death
that would be a refreshing breath,
to take,
something besides lifes
we could have familys with more than just wifes
there would be dads at home too
something some kids never knew
we need to stop all that is bad,
this is long overdue.

Amen
I saw something today.
It was invisible, yet I didn’t see through it.
I felt whatever it was so deeply,
but it was weightless and I couldn’t touch it.
In seventeen years I've never felt this,
now all I know is I'm one of his.
Lord forgive me for I was once blind to your presence
Thankfully you never submitted even when I didn’t acknowledge
You have given me more blessings than one can count
Family and friends that will never end; what a beautiful image
The love I feel from you is better than any Christmas present
Thank you lord

Growin up in the Hood
growin up in the hood aint close to bein good
thug life education is what were tought by the nation
schools lackin figures of mothers
like little brothers missin elders
churches burnin, everyones hopes hurtin
more fame for rapein than prayin
25 to lifes all im headed for at this price
thougts of findin a wife
got to busy hustlin with a knife
call me a lowlife but shit,
growin up in the hood aint close to bein good
dinner plates starvin for food
forks wishin to cheer up my mouths mood
foodstamps is comin but not soon enough
8 growin...
