Captain of Your Boat
Allow me to be the head captain of your boat
I promise I'll keep the little man inside afloat
The waters may become a bit rough and rocky
I've got years of experience so that won't stop me
After weathering the waves to a point that's safe
I'll drop the steel anchor in its destined place
Staring out at the ocean with land being miles away
Slow, smooth, and a steady pace the rest of the way
Going to lift the anchor when it's time to pull out
Will be following the North Star the rest of the route
This star is like no other; it's...

Ms Long Island Iced Tea
Dear Ms Long Island Iced Tea
Oh how infatuated I am with thee
I indulge in you and then lay in the sheets
You know just what to do to help me sleep
Can't allow myself to get attached to you
But the love I have inside is inexplicably true
You get better and better as I reach the top shelf
You're so smooth and good at what you do
I'm starting not to feel like my normal self
I honestly don't even know what you're composed of
I do know that I unavoidably have fallen madly in love
These feelings in me are supposed to be deadened
Somehow...

Let Me
Let me caress every intricate inch of your sexy body
So I can display all this passion that's still inside of me
Let me nibble softly on the tip of your earlobes
Right before I begin to remove all of your clothes
Let me revel in the delicious taste of your juices again
I want you and I will not sugar coat it or even pretend
Let me love you from the back as I grab a handful of your hair
While I whisper how gorgeous you are repeatedly in your ear
Let me show you that I'm fully capable of handling mines
So that you're reminded why you wanted me the first...

Until The World Ends
My Queen, my Goddess, my beautiful shining star
I'd travel the lengths of this world to be where you are
There is not a task to great that you could ask of me
Even that of traveling cross country from Cali to D.C.
My heart skips a beat everytime that I look into your eyes
You're the prototype, if not the one, is what I now realize
The vibrations that you emit make me feel oh so great
There's so much about who you are that I can relate
You stimulate my mind, my body, and my entire soul
My GOD! What have you done to me? Man, I just don't know

That's A Fact Jack
So you claim to be pimping like Goldy in "The Mack"
While also moving weight like Super Fly pushed smack
In reality you're washed up like Billie Dee and Colt 45
All the lyrics in your rhymes are ghost written lies
You're weak and as soft as the voluptuous breast of Coffy
There's no gangsta in you cause you've never bust off G
From what I hear, you're the type who likes taking the Shaft
That's your business, cause I don't care what you put in your ass
You're as sweet as Diana in "Lady Sings The Blues"
I'm exposing this because...

Hypocrites
You want me to remember all those killed on nine eleven
Then want me to forget about who you killed in ninety seven
You want me to hold dear to my heart your history
Even though it doesn't mention our rich legacy
You want me to believe that we only originated from slaves
You fail to mention the contributions to civilization my people gave
These psychological games that you play are very clever
My eyes are fully opened so that means my visions clearer
You want me to forget about the terrorist attack on Black Wall Street
Want me to take a blind...

The Odyssey of Life
Anything overindulged in can be an addiction
It having to only be drugs and alcohol is fiction
There're many things used to escape reality
Surviving in life can be a very difficult odyssey
Poverty, crime, sickness and ultimately death
Tragedies of the world devour until nothing's left
We enter the rat race trying to find our place
Multitudes of folks travel at an accelerated pace
Never taking the time to slow down and smell roses
Hindsight is twenty-twenty to making better choices
You live and you learn or you crash and you burn
There are many...

Lil Bernard
Lil Bernard
What do you do as a kid when a man punches your mom?
Do you look for a gun, put it in your palm and send him to GOD?
What if there were multiple dudes who've done this?
Do you kill them all and have your freedom no longer exist?
This poem is about a young kid that I'll call Lil Bernard
Whose childhood experiences have left him permanently scarred
He's confided in me to divulge to you some of his story
This one exposes something that haunts him to his core sorely
You see, his mom was in several domestically violent relationships

Thoughts Of Suicide
It's been over two years and I haven't gone back
Your gravesite is close, so it really isn't about that
What it boils down to is the strength that I still lack
I'm almost positive that scene will make me crack
Deep down I know that your spirit isn't still there
You know that I love you and will forever care
The universe received beautiful vibes the day GOD set you free
Some are in me, the rest were distributed amongst the family tree
Don't know when or if I'll ever decide to make that ride
Feel comforted Granny, knowing that I no longer have thoughts of...

Mind Sex
Mind Sex
Baby, come sit here between my legs so I can massage your temples
Close your eyes, listen to my words while I make love to your mental
I know you've had a very stressful day and you're feeling beat
When I'm done massaging your temples, I'll work my way to your feet
Let's delay this for a few minutes while I go pour you a glass of wine
In the meantime, go ahead, get yourself comfortable and unwind
Now that I'm back, I'm going to help you relax as you tell me about your day

Poetical Homicide
I'll lyrically murder you then bury you
Resurrect you then stand next to you
Admitting that I need you in this fight
Brothas, the time is now for us to unite
The deck is stacked so come correct
Ready to give your all until nothing's left
Once again it's on, the revolution must be won
We won't be singing we shall overcome
Never expect peace from an untamed beast
It's irrational to tell other's to turn the other cheek
You live by the gun then you'll die by the gun
That includes every single man under the sun
The police have now become extremely...

Open Your Eyes
How many ways do they have to show that they don't give a fuck about you?
Open all three of your eyes, read an array of books and cut off the boob tube
Knowledge seek, strategize and realize they’re telling lies to your closed third eye
They got you fooled, thinking the problem is you when you talk about black lives
They'll tell you that all lives matter but that isn't what's being displayed
Starting to get an eerie feeling that the Fraternal Police are a secret society
They chastise the hood for taking a blind eye to many crimes
But they cover each other's asses...
