This Is a Dedication To My Father

A father that who was never there that I cried lonely tears of missing a man that 
didn’t even want me that a man threw me on streets in the rain or a shadow and 
left me that he didn’t even know me or understand me born into a world full of 
confusion pain and lonely tears wonder why a man that I wanted to be like so 
much didn’t even want me that it seemed like everybody had a father around me 
except me that my mother was trying so hard to be that father figure that the 
words she was speaking wouldn’t even come to me that I was in streets hustle 
looking for a father figure to but life in me that the person that I really love went to 
the pearly gates and left me 

Because on my block most of the boys didn’t have a father and they father didn’t 
have a father so they on the block hustling rocks selling them to there own 
mother  that the street life was the only life for me that my mother cried lonely 
nights wonder if I am going to walk threw the door that night or scared she might 
see me on channel ten news that night  I wonder night after night what did I do 
blaming myself for things that my mother went threw crying myself to sleep 
asking god to just pray for me never understood why a man said he loved but 
never was there that man would call me and say I am going to pick you up and 
never show up

That my friends never had a father so they slapped there females around and 
beat them for no reason but they had reason why because they never had that 
father to show them how to love there female and not beat on them that growing 
up seeing your mother beening slapped around knowing you cant do nothing 
about it thats a struggle

Pray For Me

I'm here coming to the Lord for the things
 
That I have done for the sins that I made 

And done I am getting on my knees for yah
 
Lord tell yah to pray for me sometime I
 
Feel lost trying to make it to the top I

Tell yah lord come pray for me.

Sometimes I can't sleep telling myself

What life got to do with me

Tell yah lord come pray for me

My moms always tell me to get 

Some sleep but 

I'm always dreaming about 

people dieing on me 

I wouldn't know what to 

Do if someone I loved die

On Me 

Telling yah lord come pray for me

My life would crumble in front of me 

I wouldn't be able to complete the 

Goals set our for me

I'll be praying to the Lord like 

Why she died on me

Telling yah Lord to pray for me

Grandma

God took you from me and

I never felt the same

With you not here I felt

Like a lame

Then I cry and It just dont

Feel the same

God took your hand

And brought you home

Sometimes I pray and 

It just dont feel the same

I get scared so I walk away

Then I here you say 

Dont ever be afraid

So the only thing I can say

Good bye Grandma Carrie Lee

My Dark Angel

As I look into the eyes of the thing that suppose to be watching over me the angel 
eyes was as blue as the sky but as cold as ice every time I looked into his eyes a 
vibe ran up my spine 

It was like he took the joy from me I knew that his heart was filled full of lonely 
tears, sorrow, and lonely nights I wonder night after night was this thing a part of 
me and indeed it was the other side of me such a side has never been reached 
by me

It even scared me that this was part of me it was a shadow that I couldn't run 
from cause it would always be there I wonder why god couldn't  have sent me a 
happy angel not this angel cause this angel was like something I would never 
want to be or see

I saw him everywhere in my dreams the crossroads of dreams and reality it was 
like he took the life from me, but I didn't know that it was death that I had already 
be dead. That he had met me at the crossroads

Misconception

As the last tear falls from my eyes I saw the real vision or the truth

That everybody was trying to get me to see clearly I felt like my 

Trust was gone and everything was a lie like a real good dream 

Dreams of us having the perfect life but I know it wasn’t real something

That I was trying to touch but wasn’t touchable like air couldn’t feel it 

Like love something that was invisible but hit me hard and ruff felt like a 

Muhammad Ali K.O. punch I couldn’t do anything but fall like I was 

Paralyzed from the neck down and I was the punching bad looking like 

Emmit Till lefted confused with no conception of felling anything

Just wanted to know why??? That was the big question to me why???

A answer that’s all I wanted a answer I couldn’t get but dearly

Wanted one The perfect person in my eyes but in hers I was another 

Nigga another guy cause I thought she was different a new style

New smell new fragrance but it was the same I was a fool in my 

Own game a game that I play for many years and I had lost 

I was defeated and it made me realize what was the 

Real truth that she lefted me she was gone

Tears

As I lie wiping the last tear from my eye
I am here lying in place that is unsafe
Misunderstood, hurting and crying myself to sleep
Wishing of dreams of a better life
That I know I wish would come true
Hurting in places that can’t be healed 
My feelings are more and more getting drilled 
Hurting so much that I lost the feeling to love
That I falling in hole that I can’t climb out of 
That I hiding behind shadow of fake feeling 
That I have been hurting so much that I don’t even know myself
That I wish I could see the light in hole that I wish I could climb out of
