Some Men, Why Some Women

How did this come about, we are birthed by women, cherish by most women, a love you could never replace is your mother's, quick to disrespect the lady you have selected; as soon as a female in your family is disrespected, your sympathy side of mind is rejected, you throw angered energy at the guy who did it, after that you tell yourself, "its irrelevant how I acted", all kinds of names some men call women to the point; young girls grow up hearing those names, they become use to being addressed by those names, little boys learn to say those names, adding more heat to the flames, "Some men, Why Some Women", good for only sex, and cashing checks, in the Strip Club half naked from feet to neck, wait a sec, how could we help them become stronger this way, the world is lacking strong women; esp afro, what's true, no matter the race, black, white, or blue, we need to motivate women to be stronger, don't try to run away when you give a woman pregnant hunger!

I'Ll Trade You Pain For Smoke

Born stressed here,
Peer pressure, pain, and no rest till next year,
Blowing the smoke in my lungs that my chest fear,
It's a mind thing; the pleasure is a treasure for the brain,
Followers mouth left dryer than the dessert after puffing the toxic fame,
Let me pronounce this man,
I think he need counseling; probably by next week he'll smoke a ounce again,
Living the street life, 
Higher than the street lights,
Wondering, "what would a life without pain be like",
Using struggles for excuses; giving the body bruises until it's useless,
Some of the smoke that exist kill; some of the smoke that exist heals cancer,
Tell me what the truth is, he said, "I'll trade you pain for smoke", "I said deuces"!

Money

Money is power,
Money talk,
Money controls a lot; happiness can't be bought 
Money kills,
Money can pay bills,
Money is paper with the spirit of will, 
Hustlers love it,
Haters crave it; materials are some of money's biggest opponents,
People become jealous individuals because of money, 
Some people change when they get money in hand,
Use money right, or end up stuck in quicksand,
Money the fearless leader of goals, 
Money king of fame,
Money is the creator of many crazy things,
People rob others for money,
People be stealing money everywhere,
Money is nothing sweet; it's the opposite of honey,
Money can be ripped,
Money flips,
Money make the world go around as people lives shift,
Money is treasured,
Money is math,
Money can be evil; evil with a prideful wrath.

Black and Purple

A Lot of things our visions have seen, and the aching pain our crystalline lens have been through makes it understandable for us to be able to visualize what others may have seen too, images of how they show their emotions in their struggles, "look in the mirror"; see yourself as someone special on a different level you created, you may see times becoming less rougher, "look in the mirror"; notice how beautiful you was created, it's beyond what others think of you, "think deep about the reflection you see"; your conscience may give you a view of me, and others too.

The Fear To Distant, and the Break Away

The fear to distant yourself from what got you under heavy pressure, holding you down from being better, ripping you into pieces like paper in a treader, "fear to distant", the love for your position, the fear of making a decision, believing in a reason to be loyal to back slicing tension, nerves in your body wishing, playing your cards wrong while trying to stay strong, got people in your surroundings singing  drama songs, fighting your future with your pass, animosity breathing threw your lungs, the fly in the spider trap crying, "only if only", I could break away, break away, break away, relations keeping you tire as if you was at work; and you had a break delay, "the break away", emotions is less, fear crumbled in your fist, striving to conquer it, you find a peace of mind, another place, different time, you balance yourself walking on a thin line, you keep yourself distant from hate, as if you was a pray dodging a predator, times slowly pass behind.

My Life

Who am I, I seem to wonder as my thoughts hide in the back of my head, it's like my mind playing it with the truth, "I said to myself as my life is ripped to shreds", I no longer hear my momma's voice, the lovely sound my heart rejoiced, I ask why; my words disappears slowly as I felt low on air, I try to breathe with no more tears to cry, My grandma told me to hold on like I'm hanging from a cliff, I tried to drive being under my father, but for every struggle its a drift, I stand stiff, the ones that loved me gave me a lift, my step mother truly had me hating my life, my brother rubbed gangsta ways off on me; now my thoughts are colder than ice, for every sin it's a price, Treating strangers like brothers, showing respect to elderly women as if they were my mothers, "who me, the person who wouldn't ever hate on another man"! I blow around in the streets; like a leaf in the wind, living as a sin, hustling, being on the corner more than a stop sign, hoping life would stop lying, blind with no eyes for an education; while knowing I'm more intelligent than some of the ones who wanted it the most, I try to coach others about life games putting everything on it, In my shoes is not where you want to be, to be, or not to be, those that heard my life stories ears bled, but don't feel sorry for me!

Hoping For Change

Notice that it's time to change; change your mind, and frame, battles with your self esteem, and pride matters; because of the wasted time, you the blame, It's a shame all a person need is his, or her mind to change, and the most high above; people rather stay the same, "hoping for change", don't won't to make him, or her mad, because you adore the love; procrastination is bad like satin when it come to change, he found that it wasn't any remorse today; so he died with no voice to say, "I need a change"!

Existential Garden

I know I'm not familiar with your flowers, but may I be welcome in your garden, now days every individual have interests; unconditional love is something that you can't bargain, far in, my mind, Im hoping the sun will shine, and my presence won't be darkened, I'll be a gentleman, in addition, I never half step; I always put my heart in, Im trying to figure out which is more beautiful, the garden, or your existence, either way, its like art, a image bloomed with no lust resistance, the water the flower contain is loyal; I will never try to run overhead, nor purposely be absent, please trust me being by your garden, no doubt life gave us reasons to guard our surroundings; no fear, but in reluctance, only a fool would get close to the gravel, then sow bad seeds with someone so gorgeous, if I got a chance to to get to know you; maybe we could create more to this.
