The Message.
They want you in fear, They kill black men to grab your attention, They take away your fathers and brothers, They find the root of your support system and kill it, They want you to fear giving birth, They destroy the minds of growing black men so they have nothing to offer, They tie your…

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?…

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…

TO:DAY
Maybe it’s age, Maybe it’s awareness, No matter what it may be, You reach a point in life when really start to cherish it, You try to focus in on your present, Too often we try to forget the past by being forward thinking, Sometimes the present fails to receive proper attention, While running from…

First Sip.
How many mornings do we wake up wishing something would change?, How many times to we follow a daily routine searching for something new?, How did we forget the common trait we all share?
