Hopeless
I've lost all hope for the human race
I look upon humanity with such disgrace
That mustard seed of faith has been misplaced
Making it harder and harder to put a smile on my face
Racism, classicism, sexism and religious prejudice
But folks want you to believe these issues don't exist
First thing they'll say is "We have a black president"
While they simultaneously hate Colin Kaepernick
They remain distracted; ignoring the bigger picture
That many still view people of color as dumb niggers
It's 2016 so the reason behind the hate is...

Financial Prison
I've become a slave to my mounting debt
Always living check to check to check
Almost constantly retracing my steps
Trying to figure out how I got into this mess
Is this how life is meant to be
Sometimes that is what it seems
Folks going into debt pursuing their dreams
Still in debt even when they're deceased
Consumerism has us all in a financial prison
While the government encourages more spending
They'll send you a check and call it a stimulus
I want to leave a...

What Do You Seek?
For what is it that you ultimately seek?
I would love to be your intimate freak
The one that you call on to roll in the sheets
Able to be a gentleman when we're in the streets
Your beautifully toned milk chocolate thighs
Appeal to my eyes and has me mesmerized
Fantasizing about obtaining your treasured prize
Making sweet passionate love to you is what I visualize
I'm ready to strap up and let nature take its course
I'll have you serenading me with your beautiful voice
As you...

My Daily Struggle
I don't need accolades or pats on my head
To understand that a good job is what I give
People don't appreciate you until you're dead
Irregardless, I'm marching on full steam ahead
I know my worth while I'm here on this Earth
It's not determined by my length or my girth
Had to be a warrior since day one of my birth
Continuing on despite being constantly hurt
The world is cruel and deception is its tool
My eyes are wide open and I'm nobody's fool
Refuse to remain silent like everything's cool
My daily struggles are disturbing my positive...

Cerebral Foreplay
Let me seduce your mind with this lyrical wordplay
This mental stimulation will be like cerebral foreplay
Allow me to make love to you in a sapiosexual kind of way
I'll hijack your plane of thoughts then fly around your brain
As you read my words they'll moisten your luscious lips
The ones you speak with and those between your hips
I'll recite my spoken words then give both an intimate kiss
Call me Alladin the genie because I'll fulfill each and every wish
All you have to do is rub the right spot and, poof, I'll appear
Ready to be your magic...

Different Perspective of The Same Game
You're wearing a tee that says I can't breathe
Brotha please. Do you expect for me to believe
That you're any better than these crooked police
What you're out here selling is creating crack babies
While you're out on the block selling blue and red tops
Killing just as many of our folks as any racist cop
Perpetuating the exaggerated agenda of black on black crime
Selling that crack rock, and baggies of nicks, dubs, and dimes
Actually, in reality, the weed isn't an enemy of mines
Alcohol and tobacco have taken far more people lives
But I...

The Allure of The Game
The allure of the game keeps calling his name
The effects of poverty are causing him to change
Being able to eat week to week was his greatest aim
Not providing for his family was driving him insane
He got tired and said fuck the cops then hit the block
In search of a plug that would front him some rocks
On consignment until 72 hours passed with the tick of a clock
The equivalent of 3 days or some may say 3 crows of a cock
So he started moving those birds along with pounds of herb
Aspiring to become one of the greatest of which you've ever heard ...

Mortal Limitations
It's time for me to accept my mortal limitations
Nothing I say or do will influence an entire nation
I've been analyzing life like an equation by a mathematician
Hating all the petty things that causes so much division
Becoming a cell mate to my emotions like a felon in a prison
Driving myself crazy because none of this makes any sense
My good friend mentioned he notices that it's consuming me
I care so much about righteousness and justice passionately
Folks feel my angry vibes with each new poem that I create
Won't even try to deny it or make any...

Black America
Let me paint this picture to help open your eyes
Since you refuse to be observant with your mind
Imagine a killer who has a revolver and a nine
Walked up in your momma church and took nine lives
Do you really think that you'd be feeling just fine?
How'd you feel if Al Queda and Isis marched in your town?
Would you stare at them with discontent and beat them down?
But y'all ok with the Klu Klux Klan marching through downtown?
So, is it only ok when it's black folks being terrorized now?
If the police were frequently killing young unarmed...

Who's The Fool? Me or You?
A wise man once said to never argue with a fool
Because from a distance no one can tell who's who
No longer will I explain the phrase of black lives matter
Folks just want to argue and continue to be a distractor
If they cared, then the meaning would be completely obvious
Maybe they'll understand the sign language of my black fist
Either when I proudly raise it up high in the air
Or from the jolting shock of it like an electric chair
As it swiftly and stiffly crosses their jaw
If necessary, I'll send you to your GOD
I'd much rather live in a world...

Mount Up
It doesn't even matter to me about your damn race
If you're corrupt, blood is what your ass needs to taste
Right after you get hit with a hook to your fucking face
Then hauled off and dumped at an undisclosed place
Kind of like how America indefinitely detains at Guantanamo Bay
My militant minded Soldiers know exactly what I'm trying to say
These so called leaders are supposed to be about the people
That isn't the case and their disguises are becoming see through
They're looking at all of us as peasants but most view them as regal

Uncle Tommy vs. King D
So now you're conscious and trying to kick knowledge
See that red octagon over there? Take heed and stop it
Why should I listen to someone who hasn't even graduated college?
Don't tell me that you truly believe that your some kind of prophet
We're Americans, so why do you keep calling us Africans and shit?
We haven't been African since we got off of the Good Jesus slave ship
Why do you care so much anyway? You got a good job and you're a war vet
You need to stop writing these poems that are causing folks to get upset
We are all one group of people known as...
