Spidey Williams Poem
Nobody told me that the road would be EASY,
Believe ME.
With every BREATH,
I begin to feel one with DEATH.
Wondering why it’s not me lifeless in the GRAVE.
Wondering why my life is being SAVED?
The more I breathe in this world’s AIR,.
The more I seem to CARE.
The more than I APPRECIATE,
Every time I AWAKE.
Every time I CRY,
Every fear I FACE,
I’m realizing I’m living NOW,
for a purpose, while preparing MYSELF,
for a better PLACE.
I do not know what tomorrow BRINGS,
But I know what today IS.
My tomorrow results from what I make of TODAY!
Today determines what my tomorrow may BRING!
Yesterday helps factors a fraction of my TODAY!
But nobody told ME!
The weight of the world would be carried by ME.
I knew it would be HARD,
but never did I think it would be this DIFFICULT.
I never thought I would actually loose so MUCH,
before I gain so LITTLE.
I never thought the little gain, would mean so MUCH!
I never realized how little I CRIED,
Until when I TRIED,
no tears would FLOW.
And when they started they would never STOP!
And when they stopped, the feelings would still REMAIN!
Nobody told me I would loose so many KEN.
Nobody told me I would loose several of my close FRIENDS.
Nobody told me I would feel so low DOWN.
Nobody told me I would be hurt by words SPOKEN.
Nobody told me my heart would be constantly BROKEN.
But even if they had told ME,
all of this and much MORE.
It would have never prepared me to be the CHOSEN!

Spidey Williams Poem
Many people know the key points to having a HAPPY HOME.
Many people fail to realize, the key points to maintaining a HAPPY HOME.
Just because the bare necessities are being provided, does that make it a
HAPPY HOME?
When people are smiling on the outside, does that make the inside of the HOME
HAPPY?
Are the smiles, jokes, and stories, just a cover UP!
For the HAPPY HOME they wish they HAD!
What exactly is the definition of a HAPPY HOME?
What exactly is the definition of a BROKEN HOME?
In that case what is the definition for a HAPPY FAMILY?
Or what is the definition for a BROKEN FAMILY?
People always tell me, why fix something if it’s not BROKEN?
Like there is not always needs to IMPROVE,
That which people think is not IMPROVABLE.
HAPPY HOMES are only made through HAPPY CIRCUMSTANCES!
People that chooses to be HAPPY!
Through UNHAPPY CIRCUMSTANCES!
WHY? WHY?
How can BROKEN HOMES,
Still remain HAPPY!
How come HAPPY HOMES,
Still remain UNHAPPY!
This must be one of the reasons, why we have BROKEN HOMES.
This must be one of the reasons, why we still have BROKEN FAMILIES!
Many people believe, why “fix” things if it’s not BROKEN?
Why, not fix the broken family when they are “HAPPY”?
Once the family is BROKEN,
It will be that much harder, to make it whole AGAIN!
Even THEN,
The family will never be the way it WAS!
Or could have been if not you WAITED.
A broken family is the direct reflection of a BROKEN WILL!
The direct reflection of a BROKEN SOUL!
With this many things BROKEN!
How easy do you think it will be to fix a BROKEN FAMILY!

Spidey Williams Poem
Mama told ME,
“When things get HARD,
Place all of your faith in GOD.
Never worry, everything will be ALRIGHT.
Nothing in life comes without a constant FIGHT.
Sometimes you must actually go left to end up RIGHT.
Sometimes your bright days will quickly change into dark NIGHTS.
You have to know yourself before you can know your WIFE.
Never loose your focus and get caught up in this world’s HYPE.
Always remember you are healed by His STRIPES.”
Remember my son nothing in life comes with constant FIGHT.
Sometimes you must go left to end up RIGHT!”
Mama told ME,
“Son life isn’t always fair or even that NICE.
You are the color of DIRT.
There is nothing you can DO,
to make yourself the color of RICE.
You have the heart of a tiger, but you fight with your PRIDE.
You are blessed with the knowledge to give great ADVICE.”
“But never forget, nothing in life comes without a constant FIGHT.
Sometimes you must go left to end up RIGHT!”
Mama told ME,
“Everything is not what it appears to BE.
Many people scheme to SEE,
if the other side grass actually GREENER,
or is a perfect relationship, only for a perfect DREAMER!”
“Remember my son, nothing in life comes without a constant FIGHT.
Sometimes you must go left to end up RIGHT!”
Mama told ME,
“Be careful what you SAY,
Sometimes the devil comes when we PRAY.
Because he to wants you to have “happy DAYS”
“He does make sure his elite followers are OKAY”
But son even in the midst of the storms all is well in Jesus CHRIST!
Then she said the road will never be easy.“
“But the battles are won with a constant FIGHT.
Sometimes you must go left to end up RIGHT!”
Mama told me many lessons of LIFE
And I remember those words at times when one must go LEFT.
Daily, trying while constantly praying to do and go RIGHT.
It is a harder not only living but being black, and not WHITE.
Like God and Satan, sometimes my pen and paper constantly FIGHTS.
When the devil comes and I feel God isn’t LISTENING.
I remember the words “
Mama told ME,
“The battles are won with a constant FIGHT.
Sometimes you must go left to end up RIGHT!”

Spidey Williams Poem
Inspired By Red Storm
We’re living in a world where we are dying to survive
Daily watching the news where people are killing to stay alive
Minium wages are leaving more people selling drugs
And single mothers are raising less men to love
Because so many sons are growing up without the family’s head
Forcing them to die before their dead
We living in world
Where fathers like me are scared to raise a girl
Knowing that we can’t be with them every second of the way
Making sure they do as we do, not just what we say
This is a society, where you have to die for what you believe
Then have others believe in the same things you died for
A society where we believe what they say, rather than what they do
Not understanding these rap lyrics are brainwashing you
See they sugarcoat lies convincing youth
That every word they speak 100% truth
We need to take back these streets
Replacing rap with spoken word on beats
Instill positive messages in the hearts of the kids
Convincing them they must not do what we did
Somewhere or by somebody the ball was fumbled
Forcing us poets to find a new ways to rumble
I’m dying to survive daily you hear me
But I will spread this spoken word through this poetry
Until my body is covered with dirt and I’m laying in my casket
I’ll just continue to be the poetry bunny carrying raw truth as eggs in my basket
Everyday I pick up my pen and paper and began to write
I realize even after the death of me this war, people will continue to fight
So am I dying to live or am I living to die
I’ll never know but one thing is certain I dying to try
Trying to paint that picture you can’t overlook
Trying to speak the words you can’t just write in a book
I'm trying to reach every one, who they said was lost in the first place
Dying to survive to take back my birthplace
As Black Ice said, "we were so wrongfully mounted on" years before my time
Trying to be that eye watching dog, dying to lead the blind
I see our people have been ready for change
So much they are killing for change
Forcing the innocent to die for their change
Now how many are willing to carry this cross with me, to force people to change
Or will our generations to come still be dying to survive
Surviving barely enough, just to say they’re not dead, and they’re still alive
Yes like Redstorm says we are dying 2 survive!

Spidey Williams Poem
The other day I heard a voice.
Saying life is altered by a single choice
Be careful what you do or say
Think twice before you ask and pray
Life is lived day by day
Think twice before you choose your way
We had little control of where we started
With even less control from where we departed
But we can more control the final end
By choosing carefully our enmies and friends
We dance the dance we choose to dance
Then we leave life to chance
Instead of living the life we chose to live
We do exactly what others did
And then gets mad when God chooses not to forgive
Who are we to know not, yet not know anything that is
Afterward we get mad because it affected the kids
You should of thought the thought
Before you thought to think
the life you bought
You should of checked your wallet first
Before you were shown the total cost
You should've been smart enough to put some back
Before you found yourself running backwards down life's train tracks
But instead you held your head high and out your chest
you claimed your life was yours even til death
You friends tried to change you with their every breath
But you dance the dance you chose to dance
And you rather leave life to mere chance.
You was a now it all, yet you did not know it all
You were a warrior but never scared to fall
You had two phones but never answered the right call
You always knew the right words to say
Yet you still went the other way
You knew how to talk and pray
Yet you still lived life day by day
You knew life was more work then play
Yet you always knew it would be okay
How did you have such security
In a world filled with lies and insecurities
How did you remain so strong
In a world filled with less rights then wrongs
How did you continue to fight
When the society's wrongs out numbered your God given rights
How did your life shine so bright
When darkness smothered all of your light
Who gave you your strength when you needed it the most
That even to this day you still continue to boast
There has to be more to your story
But let you tell it
To God be the glory!

Spidey Williams Poem
You are not going, to talk to your mother, like THAT!
If I said, that to my mother, I would probably, get SMACKED!
If you were my son, I would take you out BACK!
Luckily, for both of our well being, those are not the FACTS.
Why? Are you even talking to me, you aren’t even my father, nor are you my
MOTHER!
You are just, some man my mom chose, to raise my sisters and BROTHERS!
I’m HURT. Why? Do you treat, the ones that love you, the WORST!
Why? Treat your family like DIRT!
FIRST!
You aren’t my family you didn’t help contribute, to my BIRTH!
The only thing I value is my life, and even that, I hold a little WORTH!
Why? Talk like that your life, is that much better, than the THOUGHTS,
Of those, who wish they were in your SHOES!
Yet nothing is ever good enough, for YOU! Why is this TRUE?
It IS!
Because of what, my father DID!
Where were you and God at, when my father left my mother, with ten KIDS!
God was right by your SIDE!
You just couldn’t see him, because there stood, in the way your PRIDE!
It was his free will, and it was his choice, which road to DECIDE!
Why? Does God, allow people, to make the final CHOICE!
That will affect, other people, and cause them REMORSE!
If God is almighty why, doesn’t he use FORCE!
That is what we call LIFE! Everything doesn’t end up RIGHT!
Everything doesn’t have, a side that is BRIGHT!
I no longer want to hear your SIDE!
I only have one father, and to me he been DIED!
At least, all the love feelings for him, and this world!
With each and every tear I CRIED!
You can’t keep all that anger, in your HEART!
Slowly will it rip you APART!
With the family, is where the devil STARTS!
Why? Do you continue, to PREACH TO ME!
Can’t you SEE!
You can never REACH ME!
I LOVE YOU!
That is the only reason, I DO What I DO!
You can’t love me, for you have only known me eight YEARS!
You only know the pain, you HEAR!
I don’t even know why am I still HERE!
He sheds a TEAR!
My prayer, have not changed, over the past eight YEARS!
That is why, you are still HERE!
What? Are you SAYING!
That I am only alive, because you have been PRAYING!

Spidey Williams Poem
The time has come 2day,
to go our seperate ways.
Much can be said,
but little will we say.
When was right,
or who was wrong?
Is a different tune,
but same old song.
Tears have been shed,
and blood has been bled,
now is the time to clear our heads.
For better and for worst we'll raise our child,
hoping their will be less frowns and more smiles.
I've gone more than the extra miles,
Now God has given me the courage,
to throw in the towel.
I quit I give up chasing that dream,
and living a nightmare,
and the thought of us to bare,
I no longer wish a life to share.
I'm letting go of all and hope for the best.
Before my heart explodes out my chest.
The other day I stared at death!
While the angels in heaven held their breath.
It wasn't my time to go though.
It was only my time to grow slow.
Many days I tried.
Many times you lied.
I forgave you everytime, but only after I cried.
But now I march to a different beat.
Before I lay myself to sleep,
Before I end up six feet deep.
Before my love ones weap.
Before I'm too weak to press forward.
Before I no longer can speak.
We played the games way too long!
When was right who was wrong?
Now I march to a different song.
I guess it wasn't meant to be.
I guess I was meant to see.
That you are totally diiferent than me.
We tried to make it work time after time.
But failed miserably.
I wish the best to the both of us!
May God grant the strength when the roads are tough.
The time has come to say goodbye,
As a New life I say hello.
As the new year approaches I make new vows.
As old ones have been erased and replaced
Finally Now I'm Throwing in the Towel!

Spidey Williams Poem
When, I was feeling under the WEATHER,
Everything I do it appears,
Nothing is getting BETTER!
When, I’m feeling down and OUT,
I feel death, is my only ROUTE!
When I can no longer take the PAIN,
I hear a voice whisper to ME!
“SAY MY NAME”!
When everyone around me appears to by DYING,
everyone around me is CRYING!
While everything I love at touch, instantly CRUMBLES,
I no longer possess, the spirit, or will power, to RUMBLE!
When the sun never shines, because of all the RAIN,
I hear a voice whisper to ME!
“SAY MY NAME”!
When my clouds are GREY,
It’s not looking like, I’ll make it, past TODAY!
When my life’s times, are beyond HARD,
It appears, and feels like, no one seems to care, even GOD!
When it feels like, no matter what, everything always stays the SAME,
I hear a voice whisper to ME!
“SAY MY NAME”!
When no one is there, to help you face your FEARS,
You can take a bath, in your own TEARS!
When everyone believes, you constantly make the wrong choices,
Never can, you do RIGHT!
They honestly believe, the only thing, you do,
Almost good is FIGHT!
When they believe, you’re chasing a dream, of FAME.
I hear a voice whisper to ME,
“SAY MY NAME”!
When your all alone, sitting in a dark PLACE,
You yourself cannot find happiness, with your own FACE!
When the waters, have risen, and you’re constantly beaten, by life’s WAVES,
It feels like, you’re drowning, and you will never be SAVED!
And it appears no matter what, you change everything, still REMAINS.
I hear a voice whisper to ME!
“SAY MY NAME”!
I will not leave you, nor will you, I ever FORSAKE.
I’ll be there, when you’ll sleep,
And I’ll still be there when you AWAKE!
As long as you do not forget me, I promise I will never forget YOU.
Believe my commandments, follow them TOO.
Know this no matter what, you have done, will do,
Or doing, my feelings are without CHANGE!
I hear a voice whisper to ME!
As long as you never forget this, one phrase!
“SAY MY NAME”!

Spidey Williams Poem
Look In
Side Me
By Spidey Williams
Question: Why You Look At Me..
It’s amazing, the stares, responses I RECEIVE!
Or overhear, when talking about ME!
Sometimes I ask, other times I never ask, what they SEE!
It’s gets under my skin. When I’m judged differently,
Because of my COLOR!
Look at me, other than what you SEE.
How are you different from ME?
Let me guess, you’re WHITE!
You think you’re always RIGHT!
I’m black all day LONG!
Then everything I think daily is WRONG?
What makes you think?
The way you think, or act how you ACT?
Let me guess, I’m BLACK!
To stand for nothing, is falling for ANYTHING!
To believe anything, is to falling for EVERYTHING!
Defending everything is standing for NOTHIUNG!
If you never work for NOTHING!
You’ll never know, how it feels to earn SOMETHING!
I’m not going to live life, the way you want me TOO!
I am not the same color as YOU!
Look at me as I look at you.
I never treat you DIFFERENTLY! Why are you so persistent?
Treating me UNEQUALLY! Take an extra second,
To look inside of ME!

Spidey Williams Poem
Lord I have sinned so many times, but to be like you is what I wish to FULLFILL.
Lord I want to be the supreme Christian, but at times I feel a lack of ZEAL.
Everyone has sin and fallen short of my glory, but by My stripes are ye HEALED.
If you accept me into your heart, your life with my blood will be SEALED!
Lord, the Bible is just words and promises, like the Declaration of Independence,
and the New DEAL!
Lord, if I am healed by your stripes, will my cup of life OVER-SPILL?
With my stripes I will supply ALL.
I God almighty will let you stumble, but never will I allow you to completely FALL!
But God, I have brutally beaten people, and has stolen products out of the MALL!
Lord, I want to be Christian, but I put it off until tomorrow, and I will continue to
STALL!
I can see you want to be healed by My stripes, or you would have never given me
a CALL.
Leave your burdens at the cross, arise and be TALL!
You make it sound easy, are you saying I will be totally healed by your STRIPES!
I like to see you change all the wrong I have done in my LIFE!
I said by My stripes you will be healed, I never said I’ll make all of your wrong
RIGHT!
If you are not healed by My stripes, you will never reach new HEIGHTS.
I don’t need your stripes, I will use my own MIGHT!
I will develop my own wings, I’ll fly higher than a KITE!
By My stripes at the cross, your sins I have already BORE!
But you continue in your stubborn ways acting like a BOAR!
God, if by your stripes many are healed, why do we have prostitutes and HORS?
Why! Can’t females keep their legs close, and arise off the FLOOR?
Son, they have not knocked on the DOOR.
They are content on being on the ground they have no will power to SOAR!
God you say, by your stripes I am healed, how do I know you will keep your
WORD?
It will be hard just to leave my HERD!
I was beaten, so you do not get what you always DESERVE!
I’m God I give you everything straight forward never do I SWERVE.
Lord, I will give up all! Now only you I’m willing to SERVE.
Now I know by your stripes I will fly like a BIRD!
It is good you seek Me and my SOVERIGNITY!
Very well it is done! By my stripes have I healed THEE!
Lord I feel an instant relief I feel…..HAPPY!
Lord I will tell the whole world by your stripes I am FREE!
It is true! By My stripes are you healed, I will never be guilty of PERJURY!
There are many people lives, and hearts that need My Stripes SURGERY!
