He was driving down Cocaine Boulevard
He had killers in the car
He drove with a blank stare as the killers put their clips in their pistols
His soul was the color red stained with blood from all the murders he had ordered and committed
The car came to a stop
He pointed at a white house

Kinky, Nappy, and Ugly
Little black boy and little black girl wear your natural hair with love
For years we have been told that our natural hair was kinky, nappy, bad, and ugly
But the truth is our natural hair is strong and beautiful
Little black boy and little black girl wear your natural hair with love
Wear your lion's mane and let the world hear you roar
For years we have been told that our natural hair was kinky, nappy, bad, and ugly
But the truth is our natural hair is strong and beautiful.

Black Woman
She captured me in her sexiness with her gravitational pull
Her gravitational pull tugs at my essences
The heat she emits would make Satan sweat
Her earth tone skin have men erupting like volcanoes
With a smile as bright as the sun that warms my heart you chase away the sorrow that clouds my life
With skin that rivals the marvels of the universe time itself stands still and take notice
With the moon for your crown and the earth for your throne you give a whole new meaning to the title Ms. Universe.

Knowledge
The first step to gaining knowledge is to recognize one's own ignorance
To take a stance against stupidity even if it means standing alone
The second step to gaining knowledge is to inhale a whirlwind of knowledge and exhale understanding
To fly on the winds of wisdom.

Morphine
Welcome to the city of Morphine
where it rains acid and you feel no pain
A city where everyone is numb to the world
Where people dwell in the slums of misery
shattered lives and shattered glass cover the streets of Morphine
Fiends wander down the alleys of agony
