Think Before You Act

When the lights go out
An the curtains close 
Everyone goes home what do you do
Do you stay behind to study your lines 
And make a fool 
Out of the people that never believed in you 
Do you go home to talk on the phone
Or play games to entertain
Yourself for the time being
Doing activities that are useless 
Should you train for your upcoming games
So you can do your best
To play in the big league  Because that's what you've dreamed
Since you were a little kid 
Or decide to follow in the footsteps of your family members
That never achieved anything
To help but in the family history 
But through everything you've been through
Good or bad
Either way you learn from your mistakes
Once you know good from bad
You should always think before you act

Night

During the night 
She got in the fight 
With a person named right
That might keep the light 
From returning at dawn
They both took a yawn 
Then out popped out a song

Rythmn of the Beat

Listening to the rhythm of the beat 
I move my feet the speakers 
Blowing loud every time we meet
When i speak it seems like 
My flow is so sick i can't eat
Anorexia dementia from my lack of similac
Crack back to snap back i bounce back 
Then sit down fall back an relax

Generation

I continue to think  
About the daily situations that happen
In our generation
Hating is spreading 
Like the movie contagion
The virus is spreading 
Through the iris
Because everything we see
Influences us to be 
The very people we
Idolize on tv
He, she, they, we
Are all expected to be 
Something other than me
You, them, they can
Never understand the uniquness
Every person displays
Why should you have to change 
Gun shots heard by many everyday
Thesame many that dont 
Know why Treavon Martin was one of the 
Many that didnt get away
From the senseless violence that happens everyday
But whose to blame 
In this sicotic game
Then again it happens day by day
People judge people 
Just by how they look 
But never took a minute
Out of their time to realize
There's aperson
Behind those eyes
You see if i was lying 
Then why would you be 
Wasting your time talking about my rhymns
Im only speaking because 
Everyone else is afraid 
About the feedback that might stab back
Stop wasting my time 
An go about your life 
But ima spend itin this life time 
Changing people's life
I can turn a penny in to a dime 
An donate that dime 
To a kid that starves
Most of the time
Is it really a crime 
To want something more 
Than a normal life 
I might just end up 
Writing the most influencial rhymn
It's my time your time an their time
We can all make a diffrence is we just try
Saying that you're
Incapable of being capable
To comprehend what i'm
About to say im almost at the end
Sometimes i dont even know 
What im saying but I'm
Praying that for every mind
That is corruppted there is 
One that can help change 
The next generation

Just a Dream

I wake up every morning
 Feeling like life is nothing but a dream
 I'm seeing in my imagination
 To keep from realization
 An breaking into a million pieces
 That are shattered an obliterated
 By my high pitched screaming
 I'm bleeding with zombies
 Eating me in the land of the dead
 I'm fed up with all the ish
 That just wont quit
 The lies an betrayal
 I can no longer trace all the hate
 People think I'm quiet
 Because i don't bother socializing
 They don't know why i'd rather day dream
 Then live in reality
 I wanna dream of being
 Who i want to be
 Not what people make me out to be
 An truthfully i feel sorry for you
 Because you have no spirituality
 I'm not talking the holy ghost
 Or god killing the earth
 I am saying you should take a second
 Go ahead close your eyes
 Forget the real world an fall into a dream world
 Where your biggest fears come alive
 An your imagination thrives
 There you'll find surprises
 That will last you a life time

Trouble

Seems like everywhere I go
Trouble seems to be the show 
People always wanna know
About the places one should never go
All these haters take the dope that society
Seems to make into sobriety 
This has got to be a trick 
Half you people are some pricks
A second is what it takes 
For someone to hate your face 
No matter what race 
Hate will always keep its pace 
Even still I'm trying to get a mill
Like will on the fresh prince 
I flicked my finger
And you just winced 
Maybe I need a rinse 
Never mind I'm just kidding
I just need another minute
