Image for the poem Check 2 Check

Check 2 Check

I'm conflicted and convicted on how to get it
Tired of living check to check cause it's a bitch
Got an insatiable itch to live as comfortable as the rich
But shit keeps happening to put me deeper in the ditch


It's time for me to switch gears & evaporate all the tears
Numbing the humming pain accumulated over the years 
My fear is that I'll die broke, not passing doe to my kids
But I refuse to peruse thoughts of selling out to the bids


Bids to sell my soul by helping to oppress my kin folks
Nope! I will never lose hope and cope by selling dope
You can quote me on that because it's a true fact
Whitney, if you hear me, I agree that crack is wack


I may not have stacks and lack all of the finer things 
But I will still proudly sing Lift Every Voice and Sing
Trying to do my part from the heart of a King's dream
With the mission to bring to fruition a unified team
