Black History

The past
I am a black prince
Who use to rule over a kingdom 
But now my people and me are enslaved 
Force to pick the white mans cotton 
I see my brother and sisters 
Being whipped and branded like cattle 
They think we are cattle 
So we are treated like cattle 
But my people dream and sing of the future
Where we are free from our shackles 
The future 
I am the black preacher 
Who has been freed from his shackles
But now fighting for our rights 
So my son and daughter
Can go to a pool and not be separated
By the racial line.
Or when they go outside to play 
They don’t have to worry about the KKK
Trying to hang them from a tree branch
That is the reason I fight that is why I want equal rights
For there can be a better tomorrow

The better tomorrow
I’m the son of the preacher
Who was the grandson of the black prince.
Here saying that enslavement and segregation
Is over
An now the only problem remains is
The fact that we are killing each other
Over money and women
This makes no sense
Have we as a people suffered enough?
Have we shed enough blood?
So I ask you
Put the gun down spread the word 
Tell our brothers tell are sisters that the 
300 years of enslavement and segregation is over
We have our black president 
We have the power 
To show the world that
We as a people are united

Nubian Queen

My heart skipped a beat
When I saw you
I heard your voice
Damn I thought it couldn’t be true
A Nubian Queen was  talking to me
I though they all passed away
When the world became brand new
My mind raceing
thoughts
Of this beauty rush through my mind
Her skin , Her lips
 her curves ,her eyes
they made me insane
Lust wasn’t it
Love could it be
No it is to soon
Its admiration
Of beauty  that cannot be equaled to
 
I envy those who will have her
I dispeas all those who have hurt her
Cause they know not what she is
She is the Nubian queen
And To you my Black queen
Black queen
black queen
who’s beauty is never in between
who’s smile is always seen
You are what men crave for
And what women envy
My dear black queen
 
Hide nothing
my dear black queen
when they see you
They now what beauty really is
 
They try to compare you
to the goddess Isis herself
but in the they all know what is true
my dear black queen you
are what girls dream to be
you are the Beauty I have dreamed of
so to you my dear black queen
stay beautiful

She Keeps Me Guessing

You keep me guessing
 everyday we see each other 
your eyes always gleaming 
your smile always keeping me on my toes
 loving you is like loving 
god 

then i hear  your rep 
it keeps me out of sorts 
lost... i am 
do i love you 
or your image 

ideas 
keep forming 
friends say don't do it 
my heart says do it 
my mind lost in space 
it aint never coming down
 
never thought i could feel  this way
 hurt yet loved
 loved but lost 

usually don't care
 but thats not cutting it 
do i deserver her comes through my mind 
all the time 

if i don't 
then this feeling
 would be all for nothing

The Martian

You just stare at me with hate in your eyes

And I be like damn what did I do wrong

So I pondered

Then I said skip it

Let me leave this world 

Past those stars above me

I see a little red planet

 The same color as my heart

So I land with hope

But only to be left alone 

And so became that life on mars

Because I got tired of loves bull ****

And cupid’s ignorance

So l now I live with the Martian that’s my heart

Sleepless Nights

Sleeping restless
Cause I'm missing
That one thing

When I do sleep
I dream
Dreams that prevent me
From waking
Cause I wake to a empty room
With cold sweet
Cause your not
Next to me

I want to feel
Your soft lips
As they touch mine
I want to feel your body
As I hold you
Make you feel
 like
your my world
I wish to wake next
To my queen
Even though
I'm just the court jester
But I do not jest when
I say this
Your my heart and world
I think of you
More then you can imagine
If I could paint you
You will be my Mona Lisa
If I could build you
You will be my 16th Chapel
If I could find you in history
I need to take every beauty that ever was
Put them together
And still they fall short
To what you are
You are
My Queen
You are 
My Heart 
You are 
My World

The Inevitable

Is it inevitable
quick relations
no relationships
Cause the emotions be shipping off to quick

lost words 
when they see me
No words 
to share 
accept a chuckle 
To laugh about the good times 
Or just laugh cause there where none

in search of the one that i can truly love
But lord curse me for my sin
The sin of envy 
envyouse of others 
for showing 
there true affections 
for each other 
leaving me to wonder what it feels like 
leaving me to stare with hungray eyes

cause im always last 
in love 
forced in to unreasonable  postions 
apparently its just the inevitable 
for me not to find true love

It Wasnt Enough

You give her your heart
She says it's not enough
You give her your soul
She says it will never be
You give her your inter being
She screams
Saying is that all I'm worth
You give her the world
Like atlas you carry it
She says you disgust her
She is a queen
That needs more
And more

Then you bring her the universe
She looks at you
With eyes full of rage
Then you stop
Tired of being the slave
Who dreams to be a king

You gave up on
The makeshift queen
She crys
And humiliates you
Telling the universes
That you where nothing
An insult to men

Then you *sigh*
Curising yourself
 for loving a women
Who has no love

Then you hear the her voice
She has respect for you
So you give her your heart
She says nothing
You give her your soul
She says nothing
You give her your inter being
She says nothing
You carry your world on your shoulders
Begging god for a response
From your queen

She sits and gazes at you
With eyes as beautiful as a full moon
Lips as soft as the clouds themselves
She says ....
You my king no my pharaoh
You have gained my love
When you gave me your heart
My respect when you
gave me your soul
My life when
you surrender yourself to me
And my undying devotion
When you made me your world

You stop
You are loved
You found your queen
That recognize you as a king

Youthful Emotion

Youthful emotions 

I love you 
But I hate you 
This twisted 
Emotions 
 simple Feelings
 of a young heart 
I'm portraying it tthrough 
This simple poetry 

Like Roses are red violets are 
blue 
Envy is green my love is true 
Tho you leave my heart black 
and blue 
When your near Im taking a 
arrow to the knee 
But the shooters me 

Cause I try to love the 
unlovable
Cause well I love the 
unthinkable

Is it love or the love of the 
chase 
Or the lust for that taste 

Either way I love you 
Cause I can't have you 
I hate you cause I love you

Full Proof

I know this young youth
who was so full proof 
he throw down the wrong sign 
at the wrong time 
so he got shot up
In front of that seven eleven
now he bent on heaven 
still acting full proof 
and not trying to act so bullet proof
so he wont make the same mistakes 
but damn its to late
