Worthy
My hands caress my belly,
Imagining that one day a part of you and myself will be inside my womb,
Absorbing your love for hiphop and absorbing mine for expressive words,
The image of our child is a reoccurring thought,
Yet I've never given life to another human before,
I continue to rub my non-existent stretch mark belly dreaming,
Gazing into your third eye and thinking,
Thinking about how worthy you are of giving me my first child,
A well deserved connection between us,
You're worthy of being connected to me for a lifetime.

As I wait for you
If it's not intimate what's the point,
Please explain to me as i roll you this joint,
As I lay you back to help you relax,
From a long day of hard work,
Best believe I'm bout' to give you that work,
Not here to nag,
Not here to stress you out,
See what I'm all about?
Baby I just want to love you down,
To show you how much you're worth it,
How I long for that knock at the door after you done workin',
I wait for you how a cheetah waits for it's prey,
I linger through the house without leaving a trace,
Love it when we...

Broken City Lights, Chapter 1: No more loneliness
Chapter 1: No more loneliness
“Pussy is power. You hold that power. Remember that.”
Those were the very last words my mother had shared with me before taking off with her rich, wine and dine, trifling ass pimp, leaving me all alone with nothing but my worthless tears. Sharon, which was her name, was a woman who didn’t know how to love and didn’t want to learn which is why sometimes I feel like I should have never been brought into this world. I grew up in the valley most of my life but spent most of my time looking for my mother in downtown since she was hoein’ for “upper”...

Fast pacing
From catching the 757 to the 801,
I'm that one sista who's always on the run,
No time to stop and give you my number,
So you better hope we run into one another,
On another day,
Maybe on the bus or even on the metro train,
But I'm not the one with all of this open time,
Sometimes I envy women who can give all of their shine,
Wouldn't you rather the chase,
The fact of knowing that the only time you could catch me is in between breaks,
Hard to catch but you'll keep chasing

Talk to her while you play with her daddy,
She loves your type of conversation,
Let me back her up a little more closer,
So she can hear you better,
Maybe even feel you a little better,
Oh, looks like you got her excited with your words,
She's silpping and sliding,
Gripping onto you tight,
She wants you to take flight,
So she can take you away from here,
So you can talk to her while you play with her

We Shout
It's time to get in formation, black man
It's time to take our place, black woman
Let our presence be felt for he is taking on a battle of great measure,
We shout: no more TRAYVONS,
No more TAMIRS,
No more MIKES,
If not,
We'll continue to fight,
Call us savages,
Call us thugs,
This is how we move when he have lost our love,
The historical band aid is being ripped off by us?!,
Oh you better come correct white man,
Because there's new wounds appearing,
Don't point the finger,
And stop disappearing,
The news says we're the reason...

Dear Shark that swims in his thoughts
Your work hasn't gone unnoticed
I see you working
Going without sleep
Working off of nothing but McDonald's
These are the moments your children will live to hear
To hear that their father worked his ass off
To hear that their father never stopped
I see you working
You keep yourself up so no one can put you down
Teaching yourself so no one can take credit
That's that shit that keeps you going strong
I see you working
From making beats to painted sheets
Painted sheets called graphics that is
Amazement from each and every person you know...

I’m afraid,
Afraid that you’ll stop loving the taste of me,
That your taste buds will have an urge for something else,
I taste you when I rise with the sun,
I taste you when I’m riding through the 8,
I taste you when I’m on my way home from work,
My fear is that you’re tasting everyone else but me,
You can’t get what I have somewhere else,
Not even half,
See what you don’t seem to understand is that I’ve never had this,
This type of vibe where I always feel high,
The type of vibe where I just...

You are my Tranquility
You are my Tranquility
You are the reason why I end up with these never ending poems,
You are the reason why I have a story to tell,
You are one of my favorite characters in my book,
You help the main character make sense,
You’ve matched up with a vibe that no has ever understood,
You are the reason why she seems so content in a hell hole,
You are the reason why she’s glowing,
You are the reason why she continues to walk this earth with a gaze in her eyes,
You’re probably wondering why you have so much part in...
