I Made It

Push come and shove I still made it 
Despite the problems I had I still made it 
Running scared without much hope I still made it 
Abundantly losing precious time I still made it 
Through the backstabbing friends and burdens they brought I still made it 
Stumbling over boulders of stones the size of mountains I still made it 
The breakage in the deepest cores of my heart I still made it 
Past the drowning waters of Poseidon 
Over the caves of madam medusa 
And through the treacherous fires in the house of Hattie’s I still made it 
Only with the heart of good and being carried out by God I made it

Water

Word of God 
Almighty Lord 
Testimonies of his word 
Everlasting purpose and promise 
Rejoice in fulfillment to be pure

What Do I See

What do I see for I see I have knowledge, I have common sense, I have purpose 
I set my tears long deep down up under earths surface 
upon a land where my flesh sits; all I see through my eyes is burning in the childs face who sleeps in the ally and does not see the world turning 
I feel his wants to see the midnight sky fall and the moring sky rise and I told him in this time i wish to be blind for there is corruption of what I see 
Trust in me this place is a place neither of us shall be 
So again what do I see? I see the dead does not rest in peace for yet I've seen a soul playing around my creek 
Again what do I see? I see no one has left the living yards nor the grave yards from outside those ringing bells 
For what i see well! 
Now  I should tell again what do I see 
For what I see is hell!

Tragedy In Black

Roll me up smoke me am i a drug now 
because i see it differently in my eyes is that a flagrent foul
seeeing life pass you by as it is always surperior do i bow
I am who i am and that is 
this obessesion with this life aminow of the world
hatered embetted in the roots
jealousy giving birth to envy
everything came yet from darkness first 
so is it blackdarkness pumpin thy vine 
am i  a living breathing walking curse
so light came and put thingdin the visible
is this law is this law is this tatical
graphic messures in the deep
tails in tribulations travel with tragedy in black
a different persance felt in the steep where the light leads me 
a new obessesion to know more of this new covering 
no more enving to bring about its friend jelousy
no more walking with tragedy in black

The Component Self

The reflection of me thy own self look through the eyes of the beholder the deeper you look the more you get shook playing chest either self I am now my own component who's greater? Me or Him when I am the same guy; what question to ask the greater man when we are both equal the depths of the war against self is not yet jus critical but also leahtal because self can lose its mind to self but self is to control its own mind its self 
I am who I am is what he told me 
in each thought as I look against and into self I tell thy self to be this and to be that but then my eyes open and I cry out I dont know how to be this or how to be that on the other side am I a rook or a pawn a bishop or a knight or the king against king noticing the knowledge to have is knowledge to be had being mindful of all thought as the queen on the mirror cut chess board had  many routes as I keep looking I have figured out that the greater component is self

Your Turn

tribulations has troubled my path  
envyness towards thyne enemies flow throu the vains of my rath 
the staff has yet to part my sea to show me my path to success 
loving the want to have power in my eyes now is something wanted less 
giving my best, not ever givin up has got me wher i am 
blocking blessings deep down makes me feel stuck like water behind a damm 
strecthing out to unknown lands have only to move me around total destruction 
makes the flesh take its place in repention 
as the birthday of being born into the spiritual world 
turns a differance in the eyes of ya peers to tears 
when rememberance of past times,days,months, and years 
become into exsistance while your flesh lays softly and firm 
makes a person relize one day its gonna be your turn

Hard

Hard to stay hard to survive 
just another man and another mans world on a very long stride 
push around shoved around never to be knocked down by another man in his very own town 
eager to fight easy to kill but those who love shell always shed tears 
this world will neva change there world has always been a game 
but once killing a black man was neva the wrong thang

Who Will Come For Me

May soul trapped in its own vault my flesh can't get away from pain 
The dignity i have to do better runs hot throughout my thickest vain 
The screecthing of my nails running against the black board is yet to your ears sounds of my revange 
The silence of air when it blows stiff is to you death from the lethal surenge 
Let me stop there and go no farther 
Now shall i tell you as one feather thus my soul and i flock together 
To you what i call evil shall not one weapon against me shall prosper 
In the depths of my words is my power 
As the clouds over me get heavy and it rains my sins are washed away as i shower 
As i pray before i sleep to the one that will come for me like a thief in the night 
For yet and no lie he will come for me and his name is Jesus Christ

Beauty

Define beauty can u say it is next to a tulip that just bloomed? 
Maybe next to a lady well groomed 
Even if so why is that beauty? 
So what do you call the dark sky with no stars? 
A child whipped for no reason but left scars 
Him to see not a reason of why 
Seeing his pain his wants to cry 
And he can’t for if so he will be beaten more 
Knowing his smile at once people did adore 
In the depths of his heart stood a strong core 
A forgiving heart even though his body was beaten brutally 
This is my definition of beauty
