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, Continue reading “Sun Down.”

7/3
They call it the land of the free,
Just to tell you nothing’s free,
Tell you to chase your dreams,
While you running for somebody else’s.
Just Another Nigga.
Something I could never be,
Born to leave a legacy,
Though I’m born into hell it seem,
This little light of mine I let it beam,
Refuse to be another nigga the world already seen,
Don’t need a screen to change the scene,
Change your path alter expectations,
Snakes hidden in the grasses waiting,
See you fail they congratulating, Continue reading “Just Another Nigga.”
The Bottom
“You’re never as low as you think”-Bas
It takes time and true understanding to learn that we create our own idea of “the bottom”. It starts internally with the things we tie our hearts to that brings us joy. When they aren’t working in ways we believe we need them we begin to feel hopeless. It’s almost like having tunnel vision towards your desires. Too many times to we limit ourselves & our happiness to the things we want instead of the things we need. The only bottom we have is the bottom we create for ourselves. Sometimes when we hit what we believe to be the bottom it’s the first step to raising to the mountain top.

Thank the lord for forgiving sin,
Admire every imperfection,
How she carry pain so casually?,

Her beauty shined naturally,
This isn’t love nor does it has to be,

No More Black History Month!!!!!
Before I start, this piece was written way before Stacey Dash comments. After the backlash, I went back and edited this piece.

Not because we don’t deserve it or we will forget it. It will just eliminate the limitations on black history. Black success stretches out further than the shortest calendar month. Are we really that attached to a month that we believe it is a badge of power? Continue reading “No More Black History Month!!!!!”
The Journey
I had to realize I’m not happy. Although something’s in my life bring me happiness I’m not happy. It’s still a journey for me….don’t know why I thought I reached it. I fool myself everyday 24 hours, crazy right ? Far from depressed I’m just not happy. I have short-term goals that turned into long-term goals. I have dreams that should be memories by now but still they are dreams. Time is a terrible thing to waste…I believe in that statement. Although the my actions don’t always show it. Did I fall behind ? I don’t know only time will tell…. Continue reading “The Journey”
