So I’ve Been Quiet…
So I’ve been quiet Quiet enough to listen to my flaws, To listen to my doubt, To listen to my hunger, What’s fear? Listen to it rumble throughout the silence, Ever get that heart stopping, Gut punch feeling like, If this is it damn I ain’t do shit, Do you love time enough not to…

Numbers Lie?…
If your argument is more whites are killed by police than blacks, I advise the white community to bring these situations to the light. To me that number means nothing, as humans we tend to know what we see and what we experience. You want us to believe you face the same issues we do?…

Sun Down.
Sun down, The moment my life becomes a novelty, A beacon of hope starts to dawn on me, I could never tie myself to poverty, Lost pride, Then found the God in me, Young man learned when to let the father speak,
