Nyc Is the City Never Sleeps

New York City is really the
City that never sleeps
Witches and Warlocks are 
Always up at night
Trying to curse it
But too many want to come
Here to live their dreams
I grew up where a red carpet
Was never raised
Even celebrities showed
Up I never cared to go 
Out and support them
Because New York City
Persecutes Christians
The news stations not airing
My story is just the beginning
The businesses and people
Here are Aeithiest because of them
I faced a lot of unemployment
I was tricked into move in mentally ill
Housing
Thanks to false advertising
Why did this city that's called so great
Allowed me (your resident) to be
Treated with disgrace
This is round three that my hot water
Is shut off
Next time I'm going to have report this 
Issue again because this business
Is runner illegally
And it doesn't want to go to sleep
When it comes to evil at all

Let Me Be Myself

Please let me be myself and
Let me be who Christ
Called me to be even if
You refuse to believe
Are your good conversations
So filled with ignorance that
You were insulting me in your heart
Before you even call me phone
If you're not around me everyday
Please don't bother calling me anyway
Your evil blame games are so played out
That my adulthood doesn't even want 
You around
Me anymore that your words are such
A cold sore I've seen what those things
Look like and I hope I never see them
Just like you made every excuse 
Every blame not to see me
I've seen you disrespect women Daddy
So how would you know how to 
Respect your own female child
You've had children by 3 different women
So how can you show me
What stability is
You've had sex wherever you laid 
Your hat
And had me
But you still insult
Treating me as is I was your mistake
When to Christ, I wasn't just
Another one your babies

Daddy

D.Don't expect me to be like who
You worship

A. You're always trying get me to
Please you

D.To do what you what me to do

D. But your not around my life
On a regular basis

Y. Always pointing out what you
Think is wrong with me
Right in front of Jesus' face
