Bond
We have a bond you and I, we both suffer from color lines and lies and so much more
But we have a bond that can never be broken: we are God’s children
Touch
The pain hurts so bad I want to cry I need your love to get by
With hatred all around me, I need the love of spirit and body, I’m reaching out to you
Because I don’t know what else to do, hoping, wishing, dreaming, for a connection
Dying, crying, trying for a touch
I AM POETRY
I AM POETRY, I AM THE WRITER AND I’M GONNA KEEP ON WRITING
THIS MY LIFE, THIS IS HOW I LIVE AND THESE POEMS ARE MY KIDS
BIRTHED IN MY BRAIN, THIS IS HOW I MAINTAIN, MORE THAN A PASSION
MORE THAN A HOBBY, IF U WANT TO BE INTIMATE WITH ME THE BEST WAY IS THROUGH POETRY BECAUSE I AM POETRY, I AM THE WRITER
AND I’M GONNA KEEP ON WRITING
WHERE I BELONG
I AM WHERE I NEED TO BE SO STOP TRYING TO MOVE ME, I AM WHERE I BELONG, 600 POEMS STRONG, WHO KNEW THE REIGN WOULD BE THIS LONG AND PEOPLE WOULD SING MY SONGS, ENEMY TRIED TO CONVINCE ME, THAT I WAS DONE, THIS WAS IT, POETRY I WOULD NO LONGGER SPIT,
AND I NEEDED TO QUIT, HE TRIED TO DIG A DITCH, HIT A PITCH, BUT I SWITCHED, AND HE MISSED, HE AIN’T FEELING IT, AFTER HE’S LONG GONE I’LL STILL BE WHERE I BELONG
I KNOW (THEREFORE I AM)
I KNOW WHO I AM, SO WHY IS THE WORLD TRYING TO CONVINCE THAT I’M SOMETHING I’M NOT? U CAN’T CHANGE ME, FADE ME, SO STOP TRYING TO PLAY ME, I’M HERE 4EVER, I DON’T GET WORSE BUT U CAN COUNT ON ME GETTING BETTER, I KNOW WHO I AM SO I STAKE MY CLAIM THE PRINCE OF POETRY AND U KNOW MY NAME
ORIGINAL
IN A WORLD FULL OF COPIES, THEY STILL AIN’T STOPPING ME, WHO’S THE ONE THAT MADE REMIXES FAMOUS? WHO’S THE ONE THAT WILL NEVER DIE NAMELESS? YES I DID IT SINCE I WAS A KID, ALL THE PUBLISHERS CAN NOW PUT IN THEIR BIDS, THE PEOPLE WANT ME CAUSE I’M ORIGINAL
NOT FEELING ME IS JUST TOO CRIMINAL, I WAS AT THE BEGINNING AND I’LL BE AT THE END, WILL THE COMPETITION? IT DEPENDS
MY OWN WAY
EVERYONE IS NOT THE SAME, THERE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN ALL OF US AND WE NEED TO TAP INTO THAT UNIQUENESS, THE THING OR STYLE THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS, IN EVERY PERSON’S LIFE HE/SHE HAS TO SEPARATE FROM THE CROWD AND I AM NO DIFFERENT, I HAVE TO GO MY OWN WAY
STEROTYPE
U CAN’T FIT ME IN YOUR BOX, I’M A SPIRIT WONDERING FREE, NO ONE CAN FIND A PLACE 4 ME, 2 DIFFERENT, 2 UNIQUE, NO ONE CAN DEFINE MY PEAK, STEROTYPE ME? KILLING ELEPHANTS WOULD BE MORE EASY
MJ FITS IN NO CATERGORY, I’M JUST A SURVIVOR, END OF STORY
PROVE SOMETHING
WHAT DO I GOT TO PROVE? I AM THE BEST AT WHAT I DO, HOW ABOUT U? DISSING ME? IT’S JUST TOO PITFUL, JEALOUSY IN YOUR CHEST, DON’T WANT TO SAY I’M THE BEST AND I’M LIKE THE REST, MY SKILLS U DETEST
BUT REALITY CHECK, I’M DOWN 4 MY CROWN, PROVE SOMETHING TO ME IF ANYTHING, YOU’RE A CHALLENGER, I’M A PRINCE, POETRY AIN’T EASY, I JUST MAKE U THINK IT IS
MY WOMAN
WHO’S THERE 4 ME WHEN I NEED IT MOST? WHO’S THERE 4 ME EVERY SINGLE NIGHT? I GIVE MY ALL 4 POETRY CAUSE IT DOES THE SAME 4 ME
WHO LOVES ME ENDLESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY? WHO HOLDS WHEN I’M SICK? WHO PICKS ME UP WHEN I’M DOWN? MY WOMAN, MY LOVE, MY LIFE, POETRY LOVES ME MADLY, THAT’S WHY IT WILL ALWAYS HAVE ME
MY EDGAR ALLAN POE STYLE POEM
IN ALL OF MY GLADNESS THERE STILL REMAINS A SADNESS
JOY I THOUGHT I HAD IT, BUT I WAS WRONG
OF ALL THE THINGS THAT RUN THROUGH MY MIND, EVIL CREEPS UP FROM BEHIND AND I WONDER IS IT MY TIME OR TIME 4 A SONG?
I THINK OF THE TREES AND THE BUTTERFLIES, MIXED WITH DEATH AND HOWLING DRIES, THE PAINFUL LOOK IN THEIR EYES, THEN I IMAGINE SOMETHING NEW BEFORE LONG, EDGAR ALLAN POE DOING A DUET WITH MAYA ANGELO, WHILE IN THE BACKGROUNG LANGSTON HUGHES RECITES POEMS ABOUT THE BLUES, OH! BUT I’M PARANOID AND I CURL UP LIKE A LITTLE BOY, AND AS I’M WRITING, I’M STILL FIGHTING, STILL FIGHTING THOSE EVIL THOUGHTS RUNNING IN MY HEAD
I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU, I WANT YOU, I PRAISE YOU, I WORSHIP, LORD. I LOVE YOU, I ADORE YOU, YOU HEALED ME, THANK YOU, LORD. YOU MADE ME, YOU SAVED ME, YOU RESTORED ME, MAKE ME HOLY, LORD.
