A feather is heavier than an anvil
Have you ever sat on a Styrofoam saddle
and a story is words place together that hasn't been told
Like a book that has been written and not sold
gold a mineral that I have no need for
And anything that I may walk on
This unleveled floor
gold a mineral I have no need for
anything that I may walk on not that important why... cause I
Rather have God
A letter in word may make sentences
And when spoken out can be sharper than a two edged sword
and I'm wondering, wondering how I can get round
My ears hearing the dreaded sounds
Air is here but you can't see it
and the wind calms down sometime you can even feel it
but a story is words placed together that hasn't been told
Like a book that has been written not sold
Gold a minerals that I have no need for
And anything that I may walk on has already been walked on
gold a mineral I have no need for
A negative word out your mouth is sharper than a two edged sword;
Anything that I may walk on not that important
I
Rather Have God

This is an attempt to go further than thought can contain
Something like when prince got off on purple rain
We wander these unleveled streets
Without long barreled heat
Seeking pain to meet
But taste not defeat
My stride floats without feet
Not a crawl but a creep
The second coming of Langston Hughes
Miles Davis couldnt blow these blues
Constructing unbreakable foundations using words as tools
Life in the fourth quarter and breaking all the rules
Fear not the atmospere but what lurks beyond
Resemblance of a childhood thats to far gone
Some hearts cry out when others yawn
We built this city but wont stand upon.

They fear what they do not understand
but without understanding I fear no man
They subdue what they cannot naturally conquer
so I turn the tables put them in a locker
They doubt what they cannot control with aggression
I removed all the clips from their smith and wessons
They hate what they cannot possess or call liar
I confront them with truth and watch them perspire
They add height to the obstacles they cannot hurdle
but I leap right over and scrape not a knuckle
They attempt to build walls in front of us all
their bricks are unleveled and gravity calls

He's the product of a ladies man
He knows how to take command
Grab her hand
Livening up those strolls throuigh the sand
And for you he will speak to the sea in a voice so deep
It could lull troy to sleep
Although nothing will become of it you"ll love it
Since he did it for you in public
And now your defenceless
To his sexual advances to his advantage
He's not a player but a slayer
Wants her body for unmusical chairs
So young ladies stay youthful be aware
More wolves than sheep and they bleachin all they hair
This beast that roams these unleveled streets
Has many names like hidden grief
Or he who eats but wont provide meat
The one who sleeps like born without feet
The passive addict with an aggressive come down
Your babies baggage that dont never come around
Mr no benefits and no working background
Or Mr she's headed east He's tryin to meet her westbound
He's that monster that would even ponder,
having her introduce her lil sister to the corner
So I emplore you be stronger, live longer,
and be a alterior motives conqueror
