This thing call life

Yuh see this thing call life, it does mek yuh think twice.
So much to do, with so little choice. 
Yuh see this thing call life, sometimes it's not nice.
When you sit down and really think.
Is like dreams are better than reality. 
Truth be told life does snatch yuh soul 
It makes you cold, it makes you fold 
It breaks you into pieces and leaves you on your own. 

Yuh see this thing call life 
One day you're here the next day yuh gone
Yuh see this thing call life, it ain't pay to be weak 
A telling yuh it ain't pay to be meak 
Don't tek this thing lightly,
Cause it's not nice to you nor me 
Life would shake you, bake you, and break you
Like a broken glass it would replace you 

Yuh see this thing call life, only God knows the future it hides.
Only God knows your trials 
Yuh see this thing call life?
It's see your benefit from birth, hoping you'd find your worth 
It builds you from all those hurt.

Yuh see this thing call life, It closes and open curtains. 
It's filled with uncertainty, burdens, birth and brutality 
This thing call life this thing call choice.

A StArK ReAliTy

Would seem she's only happy as lark
        When in her self induced paradise
        Again meeting a runner at the park
       with her life she always seems to dice
      
       A road on which she chose to embark
        I ask dose one ever really think twice
         Physically and emotionally is a mark
         And you know one that is not very nice

         Still a reality that even now seems so stark
         But nothing else for her would ever suffice
          When still chasing the light and the dark
         One always asks though at what real price

Crosslight

I was at a indecision.
Caught at the cross light, hit with a vision.
An old lover smiling back. 
Holding up a picture of us from way back.

Her voice again I finally heard.
Speechless I stood there finally cured.

She had showed me all of life's vices, and said "You'll always have me."

She brought the quality of my life to the top from the bottom. 
Then the vision fell from my mind like leaves in Autumn. 

I was in my car caught  at a cross light. 
My vision had handed me my closure.

As time went on, so did life.
As time goes on,  to remember the good times I had to think twice. 

Now I'm tired of looking back, I got my eye's set on the sky.
Time for hi's , tired of goodbyes,  I got a new fire burning inside, a new glare in my eye.

Nobody can see it but I can feel it.
You can't see oxygen but you can breath so believe it.
Negativity, leave it.

The road ahead is clear, but sometimes I end up sleeping in.
I know I'm wrong God but where do I begin.
Step in my shoes and you'll feel my sins.

And if I don't step up, I know life will bring out my worst.
See, women may be awesome but I only remember my first.
I only remember my first.

Know Thyself

~ KNOW THYSELF
Honest examination brings truth

~ KEEP IT REAL
It saves you from the need to convince others through a multitude of words

~ DO NOT MANIPULATE
It is an act of psychological violence

~ BE CONSISTENT
It is the foundation of trust

~ SAY WHAT YOU MEAN AND MEAN WHAT YOU SAY
Why say something that lacks integrity?

~ WALK LIKE YOU KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING
Predators will think twice

~ ALWAYS LOOK YOUR BEST
Details matter.  But do not become vain or conceited.  Moderation is key

~ ALWAYS LOOK PEOPLE IN THEIR EYES
It is an act of personal power, and shows you have nothing to hide

~REMEMBER THE NAMES OF EVERYONE YOU MEET.
It brings favor in your life

~ KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS
It could save your life, and possibly the lives of others. 

~ ALWAYS CHECK YOUR MOTIVES 
You have to be honest with your inner-most being, but you should always know what truly motivates you.

~ TAKE RISKS IN LIFE
Count the cost, then go for it with complete abandon

~ DO NOT FEAR CONFRONTATION
The greater your awareness, the less ignorance can control you

~ CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY
Those who speak rashly have not considered the power or meaning 
of their words

~ DO NOT BE A BLIND FOLLOWER
It keeps you from drama and from unforeseen danger

~ WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WELL
The more blood, sweat and tears you put in your endeavors, the more purposeful you are. It is the building block to building your name

~ WAKE UP AND DO NOT GO BACK TO SLEEP
Stay alert .There is a real enemy, and he never sleeps. You have been warned. 

~ BE A HERO
Protect the innocent. Defend the defenseless. They are vulnerable and targeted

~ BE A VOICE FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
In a world where bad is good, and good is bad, we need bold and courageous people to speak out without apology. For example: "WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN!???"
 
~ COVER THE NAKED
Whether it is lack of clothing, or dignity, or identity, be their covering. Exploitation is a crime against the human spirit.

~ DO NOT LET ANYONE DIE ON YOUR WATCH
If you see someone dying and you keep going, then you do not know that you are already dead. The life of every soul cannot be priced.  We are NOT disposable

Premium Member On the Side of Caution

(aka CAN NEVER BE UNSAID)



i’ve lived my life so far
with one simple guiding adage
it’s served me well i think
though i’ll never truly know

these days it seems somehow
to weigh heaviest on my heart
and seems to hinder more than serve
leaving me to rethink face value

you see i've always lived by words of caution
‘what’s said can never be unsaid
words spoken can never be unheard’
so most times i hesitate think twice and thrice
and won’t say what’s on my mind
for fear words misspoken can never be undone

now it seems i’d want to bare my heart and soul
yet those same words of caution still echo in my head

The New Boys and Girls

How can we change the world?

For the new boys... and girls.

With a heart cold as ice, 

how to do that .

I'm actually really too nice

it something we must do 

time to stop handing tribes over to boys in blue.

I don't know about you

but I'm tired of seeing the stuff in the news....

How can we change the world

Make it a better place for the boys and girls..

teach them Knowledge of self....

It's a step in building generational/self wealth.

stand up for the chance and earn your stripes 

I am a Light

don't care if it cost my life
we got to get this right.

So let start tonight 

take a deep look within thee 

Hold up.. it gets real deep

about to blow your mind

so hold on to your seat 

and relax your spine...

If you heart cold as ice

don't think twice

Take a look within ye
 
and see the enemy

Now know that the change must start within thee

that's the only way we can change the world .

Gave Me the Mic

gave me the mic
God bless the day 
the mic was made 
so gave me the mic 
I have a message
I have them in quantum's
don't ask too much question
I sick perfection too
just listen and be bless 
is not difficult 
so turn on the mic 
my soul is willing 

gave me the mic 
if got a soul 
heal the world 
we are so wild 
our evil destructions
are obviously obvious
so now my mic is on fire 
as I spit the light 
to the dark world 
there is no time 
to wait 
the time is now 
so if you got a soul 
let heal the world 
with love 

gave me the mic 
let me heal my soul 
wild to the world 
polluted by lies 
destroyed by illusion
I am not the first on the mic
with worlds of wisdom 
so I provoke another soul 
to rise to the mic 
cos together we can heal 
the world 
I wish I can do it alone 
let me die if I think twice 
let my days be short cut 
if I let down 
sadly I can't do it alone 
now I know why my mic 
is on fire 
cos it echo's life 
to the air of freedom 
it is loud on the ears 
of the weak 
cos we all need each other
to heal the world together
with love

gave me the mic 
play me the deep tone 
just let me be only 
with this mic of mine 
am a beast on the mic 
I fear not cos this life I bear 
I already have died to be alive now 
too hard to understand but 
only God knows the truth 
from the heart of 
the son of man
so he place his divine 
blessing on my soul 
and now I can set the mic 
on fire with out a lighter
but by the words of wisdom
from the supernatural blessing
of God 
calling on the world 
calling on all people
to together heal the world
with love

Outlaw For Christ

I am an outlaw for Christ,
I know he paid the price,
I don’t have to think twice,
He was the ultimate sacrifice.
The devils always trying to keep me quiet,
Accusing me of starting a riot,
But, it’s the truth that sets men free
So there is  no one that can stop me.
I have graduated from old ways,
I’m at the alter with both my hands raised
To the author and finisher of my salvation
I now only care about his reputation.
I find it funny how no one spoke
When I lived a life that was a sick joke
And now that I have amazing grace
I hear whispers in every place
But, that does not change how I feel
For it’s his presence that is so surreal
I am thankful to be called his friend
I will sing his song until the very end.

What's My Worth

"What's My Worth"



What is my worth
Have I failed 
Has my boat went ahead and sailed 
Did I leave myself on the shore 
Because I was valued less
When I knew I equaled more 
So what do I do
What can I say 
To get back those years 
Nobody could replace
Pick myself up without a doubt
Learning my value is what it's all about 

Find the value of yourself 
Stop looking for it in everybody else (everybody else)
Search for yourself 
But don't think twice 
Everything that has value comes with a price
Continue to be happy with you
Discover your awesome truth

Currency is broken down out of order 
Like pennies,nickels,dime and quarters
That's how our life sometimes feels out of order 
What's the value of self worth
Get it together 
Stop allowing your self to get hurt 
Stop making decisions without a clear vision
To yourself be loyal
We have a Father that's Royal
He said so as a man thinketh  so Is he 
So you determine what you want to be 
Anything is possible 
Don't put a limit on yourself 
It's costable 

Find the value of yourself 
Stop looking for it in everybody else (everybody else)
Search for yourself 
But don't think twice 
Everything that has value comes with a price
Continue to be happy with you
Discover your awesome truth

Don't give up on your dreams
Stop looking for things 
That are materialistic 
Look inside yourself or maybe you missed it 
Revise look up and down 
Life so rewarding go get your crown 
Don't put yourself down 
It's not a good feeling 
Ask God for supernatural healing
Don't dis encourage for you can have to
But first you have to learn your value 

Find the value of yourself 
Stop looking for it in everybody else (everybody else)
Search for yourself 
But don't think twice 
Everything that has value comes with a price
Continue to be happy with you
Discover your awesome truth
 Repeat until chorus fade

Somebodys Moon

In your deepest darkest hour 
When even shadows go to hide
If you’re ever sad and lonely 
There’s nothing I won’t sacrifice 

When you can’t wait until morning
To find your shelter in the sun
Please know I’ll always be here
To help you overcome

I’d rather be somebody’s moon 
Help put the stars back in your eyes
Everyone can find their sun
Yet so few can see the light

Even though I’m just a man
And my days may run out soon
Till my last breath is gone
I’d rather be somebody’s moon 

My sacrifice is my love
Love I hope that you can feel
Remember when you fight your battles
And life seems as if it’s all uphill 

You can call me on the phone
If you’ve lost your paradise
You know I’ll be here till my end
Don’t hesitate and don’t think twice 

I’d rather be somebody’s moon
Help put the stars back in your eyes
Everyone can find their sun
Yet so few can see it’s light

Even though I’m just a man
And my days may run out soon
Till my last breath is gone
I’d rather be somebody’s moon 

I’d rather be somebody’s moon 
As long as that somebody’s you
