SUCCESS
Fly by day, fly by night
Soaring through skies, like a socialite
On cloud nine, with no fear
Success imminent, and very near
Never measured, but in plain sight
Determination is key, on this plight
Once achieved, job’s not done
All hard work, is no comparison
To the stressful challenge, you’ve been through
Grit was the path, and triumph’s overdue
Now you’ve arrived, this we see
So stand chin up, enjoy this jubilee.
Soaring through skies, like a socialite

To the stressful challenge, you’ve been through
Grit was the path, and triumph’s overdue
Now you’ve arrived, this we see

MARRIAGE
Celebrate unity, love immunity,
Blissful growth, can betroth,
Lives intertwine, hearts align,
Flow paramount, we surmount,
Feel spellbound, so profound,
Not forsaken, soul awaken,
Very contagious, this outrageous,
So harmonizing, thus paralyzing,
Fitted matrimony, no sanctimony,
Our Surviving, always thriving,
Mere existence, go the distance,
Honest living, true forgiving,
Would not fret, never regret,
Fuel so pure, ‘til death for sure.
Blissful growth, can betroth,

Our Surviving, always thriving,
Mere existence, go the distance,

Slangin Dope
Slangin dope is, the life I choose,
This is a game, destined to lose,
Get up early, on the corner uptown,
End up late, way downtown,
Aint no love, in this here game,
Been doin it so long, I aint shame,
It’s the ends I bring in, makes me stay,
Gettin’ all the tight, shit err day,
Dis trifflin shit is a trip, to say the least,
This monkey on my back, is a beast,
Flossin’ my ride, in my tight gear,
Showin off my shit, I have no fear,

PROM NIGHT
Prom night is near, us kids have this fear,
Not sure of the flow, nor how things will go,
There’s this anticipation, that runs across the nation,
We dress up for this evening, not knowing the reason,
Prob’ just ‘cause of tradition, we make our own rendition,
Dudes rent out a tux, girls get dolled up deluxe,
In our party dress, trying to impress,
Deep inside we are scared, but the feeling is shared,
Parents more excited than us, put up a big fuss,
Limo is parked outside, we take this all in stride,
Now we stroll to the ride, parents are filled...

EMOTIONAL SEDUCTION
Malnourished from your touch, sensation of your clutch,
Feeling is surreal, epiphany of appeal,
Chaotic ecstasy, lethargic pleasantry,
Neurotic in conceit, detonate through secrete,
Bedazzled by arouse, expansion of girth endows,
Imposition of the thrust, epitome of my bust,
This pressure all buildup, Climax must erupt,
Soaring on this high, craving can’t deny,
Obsessed with devotions, these here are true emotions.

A Soldiers Mission
Selflessly fighting for our country,
leaving daughters and mothers,
Bestowing honor for sons and fathers,
ensuring freedoms for others,
Missing holidays and birthdays,
far away from home,
Knowing one day to return,
making pride and distinction known,
What gives us this drive and determination,
I know you might be saying,
Nothing less then the oath we took,
and never betraying,
Our goal is to support our nation’s mission,
regardless how far or near,
Sacrificing life and death,
each and every year,
So I say to you...

Tryna Hold Me Down
I ask why? Is the system a joke?
I try so hard, yet I still am broke,
Work all day, can’t get ahead,
Wish I could be happy, but the bills say ‘Break Bread’,
Two steps forward, just to take two back,
Why should I give a hoot, this tryin crap is whack,
I give it my best, all week long,
Sounds like all I do, is sing the same song,
I need strength, and someone to say,
You can do this, just have faith and pray,
Belief in the man above, this here is true,
But why this hard struggle, I just want my due,
I have a family, that I do support, ...

I Feel Sorry
I feel sorrow, deep inside,
Born this way, it can not hide,
Seeing others despair, cuts me swift,
Why am I? Cursed with this gift,
I come from privilege, fair and whole,
I want this weight, off my soul,
Heavy as heck, this is not cool,
Witness to addiction, wish I could make a rule,
Where no one suffers, on any day,
Things are normal, in every way,
But people are poor, to say the least,
Wish I had food, so they could feast,
People addicted to drugs, some real hard stuff,
Wish I could rehab them, enough is enough, ...

KEYS TO MARRIAGE
You need face to face time, doesn’t matter ‘bout that dime,
Spent looking at each other, smiling times with one another,
No T.V. or cell phone, straight in your own zone,
Skip reading the paper, our focus is greater,
Side by side when we go out, hand and hand there’s no doubt,
Maybe a movie after dark, long strolls in the park,
A scenic fun drive, these things we do strive,
As long as you are committed, our love is transmitted,
Belly buttons together, a union forever,
Best with our clothes removed, our bodies get bruised,
Sex connects...

BABY DADDY I AM NOT
How dare you call me that term, when are you gonna learn,
That phrase is so ghetto, why don’t I just call you Stiletto,
Nope-I don’t think so, because you already know,
I give them all my time, I spend my last dime,
For real men it would offend, ‘cause we support and defend,
Our right in our child’s lives, during triumph and cries,
Doing homework and some skill, man is it a thrill,
Teaching them to ride a bike, stuff like that we do like,
We played ball and read a book, a little time is all it took,
Adding smiles to their faces, it aint...

YOU SAY YOU LIGHT SKINNED
So you say you light skin, oh just where do I begin,
Damn have times changed, are we all deranged?
There is this perception, a true misconception,
That the brighter your skin, the better off you livin’,
You think life’s easy, makes me just queasy,
Stroll around the town, glad you’re not brown,
Half-ass work jobs, makes my head throb,
Smirk with conceit, aint even petite,
Have men on your jock, they follow---they gawk,
The attention is crazy, you more than just lazy,
Get head of the line, ‘cause they all think you’re...

ADOPTED
I come from a mother, oh how I love her,
But she threw me away, why the betray,
Decision she has dove, can’t suppress pain she wove,
Slits in my heart, tearing me apart,
Wish you gave me chance, but it was your arrogance,
Left me cold, without a mold,
Now in foster care, man I fucking swear,
Going house to house, destined for a jailhouse,
These families even don’t care, finding love there is rare,
They get me for extra ends, fake and pretend,
Acting under pretense, shit don’t make any sense,
You should have took the risk, too big an...
