James West Poem
Let not thine lips utter a curse
Upon those the Lord has Blessed.
Let not thine heart be hardened
Or thine mind be under duress.
For the rain falls upon the wicked
And the righteous just the same,
Do not cast a stone in anger,
In judgement, or in vain.
For vengeance is mine saith the Lord,
And my Will, it will be done.
Do not doubt,
Do not fear,
For after the nighttime,
comes the sun.
Be as equals.
Love in kind.
This Commandment above all else.
Treat your neighbor as Your kin,
And love them as yourself.

James West Poem
As of June 24th 2018
There’s been 315 days since my Baptism by Water.
There’s been 13,547 sunrises in my life to this day
But only 592 of those days in which I have learned to pray
And if I could turn back the hands of time
And have just a percentage of the Faith that I have today
There wouldn’t of been one day
In which I walked along the path
That completely led me astray...
They say that the only way to find yourself
Is to completely lose yourself
But I know that thinking to be flawed
I have learned as the world turns
The only way to know yourself
Is to consistently surrender to God
I walk the Path that God has given
For my instruction
I’m just a humble man
whose under construction
There’s a God that loves us so much
He wants to turn us
away from our own destruction
The Lord called my name and woke me
And put an end to my old life
Like the screen play called for an interruption
Open your eyes
And believe what you hear
Scripture contains the message
that the Kingdom is near
Ready yourselves and listen
It’s only God you should fear
I don’t have the mind I used to have
When I would listen
to the devils whisper in my ear
The age old dispute I now handle with good cheer
I have been blessed with new life
And it’s been over a year
And I don’t ever tire
Because I’m inspired
To overcome what I fear
I keep seeking And climbing
Because I know Heaven is the highest tier
Praying On the frontlines of the end times
I know even Jesus prayed until His Blood
Became His tears.
I didn’t deserve a new life
But the Lord didn’t let me drink of
The cup that contained the culmination of all of my years
He saved me from me
gave me eyes to see
And ears to hear
The Word is the Life
And the Life is the Light of all men
Lord I’m looking for Your Will to be done
Amen and amen
I’m not looking for anything more
than what I can handle
A Believer needs light in the darkness
And the Word of the Lord burns
Brightly like a candle
I found myself not asking
what God can do for me,
But I’ve been asking what is it I can do?
Like a 180 I’ve come around
And started to learn there’s not much
That a God fearing Believer can’t do
Love the Lord first
Check
Keep myself fully immersed
Still working on it
Withstand the trial and temptations
Well It’s a daily challenge
and one of my causes of frustration
But I Build up my faith in the face of my tribulations
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else
Indeed
From my mind to my heart
From my mouth I concede
I’ll follow You Lord wherever it is that Jesus will lead
Forgive me Father the times I have slipped
I’m learning not to fall flat
But to fall upon my knees
I lift my hands to You Lord
Only You can provide what it is my heart truly needs
This is an amazing time of my life
The time in which I have been given the ability
To believe.

James West Poem
This Moment-
Now My heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name!”
(Jn. 12:27-28).
Father
In the midst of my pain
And in the midst of the flame
When it downpours
And I drown in the rain
I need to remember its
For this moment I came
It’s for this moment I’ve trained
In the face of the impossible
It’s in this moment I gain
When the darkness descends
And sorrow finds me
When hardship arrives
And I stumble blindly
It’s for this moment I came...
No longer will I ask for my
Situation to be lessened
When those moments come to find me
I will stand firm
And endure the lesson
Because those moments
Are preordained
So it’s for those moments
That I came..
When I’m crushed under the pressure
Of trying to achieve
A higher measure
I will look to Heaven
It’s there I will find treasure..
As the world stands against me
And my sands of time finally run empty
I will not let despair tempt me
For its this moment that I came
Father please bless me
With endurance when you test me
Strengthen my conviction
So the enemy cannot best me
And remember that You have Blessed me
With these moments
For which I came.

James West Poem
There is a system
That turns innocent to victim..
And the aggressor turns to witness.
There’s a sickness in this business.
The whole judicial system is with this!
Swept under the rug with a quickness..
Children being taken by force with the courts..
How is it that there are so many reports
Stating so blatantly
that there’s no cause for reports?
But there’s children being taken
Right out of their parents hand!
Even when there’s no ground
on which to stand!
And I’ll be Damned if I don’t take a stand!
I grew up in that system
Damned right I understand!
From the inside out-
These motherjumpers are gonna hear me out
Until it wears me out-
I’m yelling Down With The System
I’m not down with the sickness
What the problem is-
I am clearly calling out!
There’s a monster out there...
But it’s not under the bed..
It’s the State run kidnapping
Yea believe it!
This monster is fed by the Feds.
There’s a price tag on all Children’s heads!
This Monster will prey upon your Family..
Chaos and heartbreak
Until you drown in the insanity.
Screaming in a courtroom
How can it be...?
That this is allowed to continue
It’s a downright travesty!
I took an oath that either foreign or domestic
I will stand against an enemy
Spiritually, emotionally
physically and mentally
There will never be an end to me
So I will stand as battle ready
Ready to storm the establishment
And implement the remedy
Kidnapping any child should
Become a capital felony
Death sentence worthy
And all that should be funded federally
The Beast system has been in place
And it’s staring us all right in the face
DCF IS THE ENEMY
CPS IS THE ENEMY
BURY THEM ALL UNDER THE PRISON
AND LABEL IT CLOSED CASE.

James West Poem
This is a lethal ink injection.
I know I’m blessed to have rejection
Haters in my life
only lead to introspection
Understand
I’m still the man
Who are you to question
I agree to disagree
With all your false perception
Receptions and revenge
Cold
evolving towards perfection
Enemies and haters more numerous
in this dimension
Spitting rhymes on every line
I have no feeling to mention
I waste no time
That’s why I rhyme with an intention
keep on with the hating
I’ll keep on doing what I am best with
I’m writing out the old life
Building a greater investment
I’m writing with a passion
Shining like incandescent
Writing lines with fire
Has set the bar
I stay expectant
I interpreted a dream
To discover my haters
Were like gators
Lurking below the surface
And scheming to get me later
I’ll hit you hard now to teach you
you can thank me later
I’m rising to the top
Like I’m riding Elevators
My focus is always greater
I’m a rocket on this paper
Blasting off and leaving craters
Sky high like Aviators
I’m an Ink applicator
Rhyme style Activator
Your just an imitator
Fake friend an infiltrator
call in the bomb squad
Its a Fire Cypher caper
A terrorist
explosive when pairing ink to a paper
Lighting fuses on these lines
A Nuclear
Terminator
It’s Hasta la vista baby
Huh
I’ll See ya later
I mainline a rhymed line
Intravenously I’m the dopest
I aim like laser focus
Spellbinding I’m hypnosis
doc says it’s in my head
I think it’s just psychosis
My haters keep talking
all I’m smelling is halitosis
I’m Vader with a saber
A barber with a razor
I’ll slap you like your daddy
Cuz somebody gotta raise ya
I’ll see what your betting
And triple is what I raise ya
firing off at the mouth
I don’t shoot
just to graze ya
I stay wide awake
But I am chasing what I’m dreaming
The only plan my haters have
Is plotting and their scheming
I feel it coming in the air
I know they must be creeping
Laying em down one by one
Keeping people sleeping
I don’t play games
Or say names
I spit flames
Just the same old crap
And I’m here flushing drains
I’m only here to beat ya
It’s never nice to meet ya
I slice and dice
Serving haters like cold pizzas
There’s no price to sell my soul
For no silver or gold
I’m way too hot
To be flowing so cold
My ink type is bold
My style broke the mold
I’m holding all the cards
It’s better if you fold
This skill I wield
Is a sword in the stone
That made me
A king on the throne
leave well enough alone
Or else
I’ll chew you to death
Like a dog to a bone
I’m A Super Saiyan fighter
A Diamond minded writer
a pack of lit lighters
pen and paper pyro igniter
Line for line
A rhymed mind reciter
Scripting more lines in ink
Than an automatic typewriter
The WordPlay writer
should of been a reminder
I’m only here to break the game
And take the game higher
I stay flyer than most
Smooth as butter on toast
Blessed to rock a pen
From The Fathers Holy Ghost!
Exclamation punctuation:
excitingly
electrifying
Death defyingly
amazing
Indescribably
Blazing
Bright like stargazing
Prime lines
I am engraving
Keep all my haters Hating
But I devour who I’m facing
Without hesitation
I Flow like hydration
My thoughts are irrigation
Hands held high praising
Waiting for Heaven to come
Cuz I’m done with hell raising
But I stay writing
I’m flashing like lightning
Outlining what I’m fighting
There’s no style biting
Reworking and rewriting
Riots I’m inciting
WordPlay shining
I see you struggle
When your trying
I’m soaring
While your crying
Your crawling
While I’m climbing
A beast with this talent
A Warrior
a Viking
Frightening
When I’m rhyming
Striking
Quit your whining
Your fast food
My flavors fine dining
It’s clearly Game over
Fatality
No surviving

James West Poem
I’m still at it.
illmatic.
religious with a pen
Like a nun with a bad habit.
Read between the lines,
I mainline ink
I’m an addict.
I’m not your regular average
I’m a caveman,
a savage.
Smashing with a passion
Til the paper gets ravaged.
Writing on automatic
My autobiographic
Contains graphic rap tactics
My train of thought
Is Confucius
And Masters of the Arts Of Asiatic
My Memory photographic
The talent of my competition
Sporadic
And spastic
Rhyme skills more fake
Than augmented chests made of plastic
My furious five
Will eat you alive
Like dinosaurs
Straight from the Jurassic
I don’t mean to be rude
Got a bad attitude
Not one for carrying a tool
I’d rather bat splatter a dude
That one yak yakkity fool
Test me to press me
You’ll lose more than your cool
Hanging em up in suspension
Back to the classroom for you
I’ve had it with you
This is real writing
No one writes to be cool
What the F is the matter with you
I’m gonna damage
another amateur
Thinking his WordPlay is on point
I live and die within these lines
Writing verses in cursive
While you overlook the point
So let me explain
This isn’t a game.
Welcome to my forum of pain
I learned to smile in the jungle
While living everyday in the rain
You can’t stand the pressure
In the places from which I came
Pressure creates heat
I’ve been refined in the flame
Been refining my name
My bloodline is Royalty
I’ve learned
And turned loss into gain
So quiet down
And stay outta my lane
You’ve now been introduced
To the mind of king James

James West Poem
Poetically impressive
Mentally progressive
Addicted to my writing
it’s becoming a bit obsessive
But this is the medicine
A therapy for my depression
Post traumatic disorder
Is the cause for my aggression
My heart gets heavy
My mind gets to stressing
My soul gets to feeling like I’m lost
Without a blessing
Heart ache and hardship
Are the teachers of my lessons
I always keep my guard up
When I’m facing these testings
I get crushed under the weight
Of the times I was filled with hate
Left alone by myself
With none that could relate
I only knew the will to survive
in hard times
I found mines
Like digging in a coal mine
I stay concerned with hard working
And maintaining my health
Writing to escape
But there’s no escaping myself
Even working overtime
There’s no accumulating wealth
Circling myself
Like a dog chasing its tail
I have an uncanny ability
To find ways to fail
Still on the search for Heaven
Walking through my own hell
I’m a full time writer
A Full time fighter
Insomniac
so I stay up all nighter
Alone in my own head
These thoughts are an igniter
My feelings become the fuel
Of this emotional lighter
I seem to never learn
I must love playing with Fire
I’m looking for a staircase
Lord please take Me higher
I’m addicted to pain
I think I’m just looking for a rush
But some days pains
the realest thing that I can touch
And it really doesn’t matter
Cause I never get enough
the pain only shapes me
I’m impossible to crush.
I’m an artist with my words
And this pen becomes my brush
Painting pictures with my pain
For others to reach and touch
Ace
King
Queen
All jokers are getting flushed
If you can’t withstand the pressure
Then like powder your getting crushed
I’ve fallen so many times
From such a high height
I should evolve wings
To turn a fall into a flight
First boots on the battlefield
In every fight in life
Seen so much trauma
It’s hard to sleep at night
Every moment that I’ve loved
Has been a double edged knife
I was built for the hardest times
That I’ve faced in times of strife
I’ve stumbled
And been humbled
I’ve seen the glory in the fight
pain can be rewarding
When you’ve overcome your plight
Sometimes though
the nights can be so long
Then I get to feeling like everything
Is always wrong
God forgive me
Sometimes I’m headstrong
Shaken in my Faith
Lord please give me calm
Order my steps in this world
bless the workings of my hands
Give me patience to get thru it
And the knowledge to understand
That where I am now
Is not where tomorrow I will be
The road is long and winding
On the road to Destiny
Give me the strength that is needed
To overcome my inner me
That is the only enemy
That I need to defeat
If I can face down my demons
My training will be complete
Let me guard against hate
And slander in my speech
Give me the wisdom to turn knowledge
Into a lesson I can teach
And please bless my words
So they will have a longer reach
I came to be a witness
But if You command me
I will preach
The journey isn’t over
So once again unto the breach
But I flow like waters rush
I stay writing and fighting
I’m impossible to crush
Hot to your fingertips
the process that makes diamonds
Is my process not my crutch
I stay gifted and lifted
Because I know I have the touch
This is the realest thing to me
though I may not have enough
What I have is plenty
And reason enough to call your bluff
I shake em
Then I break em
I don’t get moved when life is tough
I’m only here to break the chains
That trap the ones I love
I’m here to shine the light
In a world that is dark
speaking Life to those I love
I bring a flame out of a spark
life is always moving forward
I will never stay in park
I’m Realer than MTV or BET’s
106 and Park
This is all straight verses
There’s no hooks or chorus here
Just a Man always willing
To overcome his every fear.
Just a man willing to lay his life upon the line
The same way I put my soul in every line.

James West Poem
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Ice cold mic hold
A flow that’s so ferocious
a Higher level focus
Exposes my neurosis
bogus amateurs are hopeless
Yoga poses lotus
Possibly psychosis
Or Musical symbiosis
intelligent my opus
intellectual Hypnosis
Rhythm in fluid motion
My style so explosive
Flammable emissions
Lead to
Combustible emotions
My mind goes higher
And so much
Deeper than the oceans
Flows quick
like oil slicks
I’m Smoking but not toking
I’m laughing my ass off
But I’m not joking
I’m beasting on a track
Red hot
Like thermal scoping
And My Word is my Bond
I roll with my dogs
fake cats and I
Just don’t get along
Your too headstrong
And dead wrong
I’ve been slept on
For so damn long
But I’ve been the man all along
And I’m writing my dreams
Scripting screams
between scenes
To disturb another’s schemes
And dreams of getting cream
Overdose on WordPlay
Like needles of morphine
That flood your bloodstream
I’m the real Dream team
But my conscience is clean
I’m outta my mind
I’m way outta line
I’m living but I ran outta my time
My blood turned to ink
And my life’s on these lines
I can’t help but to shine
Every time I write a rhyme
Step on a land mine
I shatter your spine
A thousand different lifetimes
not one that can define
The depth of my mind
It’s like sight to the blind
I’m Gods gift to women
That live knowing their fine
And the microphones mine
I’m blazing with fire
Don’t call me a liar
I’m on a killing spree
My rhymes are inspired
There will be no burial
your undesired and fired
These bars are funeral pyres
Cuz I write like I’m wired
From now until the day that
My light has expired
I’ll keep on rocking the pen
Until this Bic has retired
Your flow is too tired
I’m in Mordor with my precious
On the mountain of fire
Your lagging like Frodo baggins
And still stuck in the shire
So For those that want to test
Get lyrically bench pressed
I’m gonna be the best
I’m driven like an engine
Til the day I’m laid to rest
My soul is bulletproof
Like it’s wrapped in a vest
The best of the best
I’m in Church
Cuz I gotta confess
High Caliber WordPlay
Has put a hole in your chest
There’s simply no contest
My word game is fresh
This is checkmate chess
I bless you
And confess you
Before I lay you to rest
I laid em all down
When I came around
More than 6 feet
Under the ground
A Supersonic algorithm
Broke the barrier of sound
my gene pool is deep
you can’t swim so you drown
This outbound flight is inbound
Its an End zone touchdown
I’m invoking the right
Of standing my ground
My talent lays in the place
where Waldo is found
But I’m a proper person
So my name is a noun
I’m freaking King Kong
My kung fu is strong
I know that it’s wrong
I got Shorty soaking her thong
Cuz I said her name in a song
I hit it once in the morning
Hoping that she’d be gone
But she stayed for the day
Cuz the loving is strong
I’m sky writing my name
For the whole world to see
It’s easy for me
To be the man that you all see
All my haters stand in lines
Just waiting to be me
But I’m the only one
That’s ever doing me
So I give no time of day
Like a watch with no face
The first loser
Is the one in second place
So know your role
And know your place

James West Poem
I I’m constantly rehearsing
On my versing
Never sliding or swerving
My Rhymes play
Like a wordsmith
I’m Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult
Remembering to stay humble
And claim my guilt and my fault
The Wisest Man once said what’s the use
If there’s no saltiness to salt
This is that one bullet left
Kinda thinking
I only got one shot
I’m either swimming or sinking
Addicted to pain
But no longer drinking
Writing is my addiction
Because I’m constantly thinking
Gotta type what I’m writing
Gripping That pen tight
had my wrist sore
Like I’ve been fighting
Carpal tunnel from Brilliantly inscribing
All the feelings that I’ve been
Jekyllin and Hydin
I shine bright like broad daylight
All up in your face
Like eyesight
Wisdom is what I’m speaking
Like my foresight is insight
Creatively blessed
I think it’s Divine Inspiration
Have patience
The rise of a champion
Inspires inspiration
What your running from
Is what you should be
Standing and facing
Anxiety in my mindset
Had my feet pacin
Heart racin
Use to have that Flash point anger
When I’m feeling any type of frustration
Now I’m patient
Not trying to get so upset
That I’m keeping doctors with patients
I’m a scholar of the World
But I found Faith
Not Religion
Religion is a construct
Used to keep us all in division
But Faith is a mindset
Of making Disciples
it’s truly addition
Listen,
those that are lost
Are the ones missing
And I’m sayin it’s still our mission
To be Fishers of Men
Because Jesus did use the profession
Of men that loved Fishing
To spread The message of His Ministry
Hook line and sinker-
I’m just a regular man
Who is an incredible thinker
I’m just trying to share the Light
I’ve been Saved by Grace
A man in my position
only wants others to be saved
Who wouldn’t want to speak on life
So Rage-
Rage against the dying of that Sacred Light
There’s a time to win
A time to lose
A time to hold on for dear life
This is a double bladed knife
Strife on the left hand
Every reason worth living for
And Salvation for those that walk upright
I believe if it’s not right
Then just don’t do it
If you go through it
You will have to pay the price
When it comes down to it
But if the shoe fit
You should definitely be careful
With How you walkin
Keep wisdom within your mouth
So your tongue does
No negative talking
An ignorant man is one who stays balking
At the application of knowledge
To a life where he’s falling
Stumbling along blind
It’s amazing to have two perfectly good eyes
And still find yourself blind
Living out loud
Like it’s possible to buy time
All those who refuse truth
Are only living their lie
And I sigh...
they Living
and feeling insecure neurotic and emotional
But go ahead
Just say that your fine
The Bible says the Lord
Is the Beginning and the End
I don’t want to find out that I haven’t begun
When I finally meet my end
Because A tree that is mighty
Can withstand the fiercest storm
But in its unassuming ignorance
It ends up yielding
To an enemy of a lesser form
So I stay alert like
Someone pulled the alarm
Weapons will kill you
But sometimes words will do more harm
Stay informed
And be forewarned
You cannot be cold, but hot
Not lukewarm
We came to be the season of the Earth
It’s a tragedy that this generation
Doesn’t even know it’s worth
And it’s gonna take work
To get things to a point in which they work
It’s not the building that you go to
But The body of believers
That constitutes the Church
Preach Pastor! Preach!
Is the chorus in the Church
The Lord says you will find Me
If with your heart you search.
Any man that seeks
Surely will he find
And any man that knocks on doors
Surely They will open in their time
But seek and knock
While it is still yet time
The Kingdom is coming
And you don’t wanna be the one
Whose Left behind.

James West Poem
It’s been a long time coming
But I’m still on my game
Writing is the only outlet
That frees me of this pain
I Talk it how I walk it
And this Walk is insane
Some days are harder than others
I gotta stay in my lane
I’m further from my past
it’s still a part of my name
I don’t believe in love
It’s just a foolish mans game
There’s no winning a war
That will never have gain
I’m not running in circles
Just to try and fan flames
My blood runs hot
Like I’m running on ether
My baby said she loved me
But she can’t be with me either
It doesn’t matter anymore
I made the decision to leave her
I guess Love is a sickness
Like a cold with a fever
So I stay on my Boss tip
In your face
I’m obnoxious
Rocksteady when I box this
Non stop
Until your nauseous
Not paying for love
I don’t care what the cost is
Life is never good
When my feelings turn toxic
It’s easier being alone
Than moving on to the next
not making relationship sequels
That all end with an ex
There’s more to my life
Than just looking for sex
I rise above my instincts
To be the best of the best
I’m The last of my breed
I don’t write to impress
The only reason I write
Is to shine up my finesse
Music is my companion
I should forget all the rest
Easy come easy go
No need to hold on to the stress
Life is so much easier
Without all of that mess
Life is so much easier
Without all of that mess
Life is so much easier
Without all of that mess
Yes I must confess
Speaking of moving on
The show has to continue
I’m all out of tickets
And I ain’t changing the venue
If you don’t like what I’m cooking
Stay the off the menu
I have too much to lose
And there’s too much that I’ve been thru
To be wasting my time
On a dime I’m not meant to
Drama weighs a man down
The same way that cement do
The weight of the world
I just shrug it off my shoulders
The weight of my heart
Weighs as much as a boulder
The longer I live this life
The more I get older
And the more that I grow
The more I get bolder
I’m gonna keep writing my rhymes
And keep my mind in a folder
It’s show and tell time
Don’t say I never warned ya
Intelligently gifted
With the bars that I have scripted
I’m Blasting right thru the ceiling
Until this roof it gets lifted
Therapy for your cerebral
That hits you right in your fitted
How can I be so on fire
When I flow like I’m liquid
I can keep writing bars
My vocabulary’s on point
You can see me from the shining
There’s never a need to point
I will keep writing defining my mind
Until you get the point
I’ve crossed the line in game time
Its Match set point
My mind soars higher
it’s mountainous elevation
Flying towards my destiny
Is 3/4 of destination
I’m more alive than living twice
I’m here for the duration
Not apologetic
For the formation of your frustration
drink up this flow
I can tell you need hydration
People so full of
they suffer from constipation
I’m so close in your area
My name is your location
If you want to hate my style
put my words into quotations
I’ve been patiently waiting
With these lines
I keep creating
Fading in out
Ink pumping like palpitations
This is medicine music
Invigorating meditation
That keeps your head nodding
To lyrical inspiration
It’s out of control
I can feel this in my soul
I don’t color within the lines
Or ever do what I am told
I keep on digging til I strike
Oil or gold
I’m gonna be successful
That’s how my story unfolds
I’m off to see the wizard
But there’s no yellow brick roads
I have a mind
And have a heart
And a talent that lets me show
I kick it off from the jump off
this I’m never letting go
Theres a dozen different styles
That all showcase my prose
Your all staying minor league
And I am playing towards the pros
You can say it to another
Damn that boy can flow
Music runs through my veins
And it makes my soul glow
I’m an artist with these words
like Pablo Picasso
My mind is a book
That is fully lined with pages
Whenever I let loose
It’s like the lions out the cages
There’s a madness to this method
When feelings start rampages
This is no place for weakness
Only a place for the courageous
