You Can Do It,

Yo brotha, I know you 25,
Tryin’ to stay alive,
On the south side,
You ain’t got no friends,
Since you turned away from sin,
And the sex be callin’ you back into her arms,
It’s like there be storms of temptation,
And the elation of the game and your ego’s masturbation,

My brotha, I know you 25,
With 3 kids, 2 by one, and 1 by another,
And the weight of people’s eyes keep sendin’ lies to your soul that you ain’t no good,
And you ain’t livin’ like you should,
And seems like no matter how much you press away from wrong,
You hear that siren’s song, calling you back to the game, of neighborhood fame, the playa
with no shame,
And now, you just tryin’ to stay alive,
On the South Side,
With no ride, ridin’ the El, 
Beggin Jesus to speak a spell over what feels like hell,

My brotha I know those lies,
That come from hateful eyes,
But son don’t let your heart despise you.
Cause I know you, I know your soul,
It is a jewel of dreams unseen,
And days so good they seem surreal,
My son, don’t lose that zeal that drives you.
I swear he don’t always keep the storms from fallin’,
But trust me!
Don’t stop knockin’,
Don’t stop callin’,
Don’t stop screamin’, that name Jesus!

I can’t tell you that my life is heaven,
Or that I’m great like the magnificent seven,
But I’ve walked a little way in this labor of love we pay,
So that all will love one day,
So just let me say,
Don’t give your hope away,
Cause brother I know,
And your Lord’s still got some tricks to show,
So don’t let you fervor go,
Cause you can do it!!!

Something About the Name Jesus

Something about the name Jesus
That reigns within my soul
Makes me know without a doubt
This name is purer than gold

Oh how I love that name
That God gave too us
And we can forever know
On this name we can trust

This name is a healer
and filled with so much love
It shows the blessings of God
All the way from Heaven above

Thats why I surely know
Gods love is for all of us
And yes there is no doubt
There's something about the name Jesus.

I'M Just Me!

In life we all must go through something.
An what we endure determines who we are & will be.
I've made so many mistakes.
But, there are no mistakes if I learned & took heed.

Who am I? I've question this a million times!
Seeking the truth for my purpose...knowing I'm not worthless...like the sun I must shine!

Doubt can cause irrational & regrettable decisions.
Like driving in the rain & the dew can fog your vision.

Who am I?...Who am I?

I'm the individual that's going to make something out of nothing!
A individual that embraces challenge, while the others be running! 

Who am I?...Who am I?

I'm a brother that understands: no don't mean no, it just mean not right now!
An in order to get the right thing, you have to do the right thing: 
Because tomorrow starts now!

I love my people because in essence I love me!
An the 1st rule of loving me? Is loving those that look like me!

Full lips, a million shades, & coarse hair.
Black Kings & Queens: call us Africa because Kunta Kinte came from there!

Who am I?...Who am I?
I'm just me!

My Darling I Love You

My darling i love you
You surely must know
That deep down inside me
A heartache does grow

While you love another
And want too be true
I pray you want be hurt
As I've been by you

You lied when you told me
That your love was true
You used me and hurt me
But i still love you

I would rather remember you
With tears and in pain
Than not to have know your love
My love poem has ended, thou only in vain.

Not As It Seems

i look at you pretty, intelagent, 
and loveable. But somethings 
aint as it seems. Yes i love you, 
more than ever, but right now 
its not how i would like to live 
my life. I want better, but it 
just 
seem like i dont care, it not as 
it seems. Love is complacating 
and the problems are difficulte, 
but the love i have for you 
would never fade 
away...........but like i said"It's 
not as it 
seems."

          (YOUR MOTHER'S BLOOD)
Your's is the perfect love I knew I'd fall into.
Love out of Africa, the midnight deep of you.
I can feel your heartbeat like you're part of me.
I can feel your heartbeat in me.

You took me up the Nile, as love can only do.
Up to your Africa, the Motherland of you.
I can feel your breathing like you're part of me.
I can feel your breathing in me.

I can feel you breathing in me.

I've wondered how could such love ever be.
It's the King of Africa you've made of me.
It's your Mother's Blood of ten thousand tears.
It's your Mother's Blood of ten thousand years.

Your's is the perfect love I knew I'd fall into.
Love out of Africa, the pain, the hurt  of you.
I can feel your cryingt like you're part of me.
I can feel your crying in me.

It's your Mother's blood in you.
It's your Mother's blood in you.
