Unspoken Words of Life

phases pass the day when i was young
i was happy and hate was a feeling unborn
colors where just colors 
fight where with pillows
people had cuddies
drugs were things to stay health 
cigs were candy sticcs 
problems were with parent
death was playin dead
life was full of joy
as i grow older the hate ignites
colors are your gang claim
fight are with guns and knifes
people have stds
drugs are things that get you wealth
cigs are cancer sticcs
problems are with the police
death is ur homie getting killed
life is full of pain

Hypocrisy

Mind is on mission 
There is something missing
Try to speak my truths
But they not ready to listen
Or is just hard 
To say truth out loud
Still lookin for that girl
Just trying to save the world
Time is my gas
Trying change the past
Had to stop to laugh
Funny how people talk of change
Just as useless as me with my past
Lie to lay to say after ima change
Addicted to escaping from reality 
Cuz in reality I’m always average 
With a smile on my face
Still laughing just to keep em of my case 
Music is my peace 
So autistic ways don’t leak
Drepression don’t creep
Insanity don’t speak
As the silent man I stay
Until the time for the visionary way
I pray 
When I find what I’m looking for 
I don’t become what I see
Hypocrisy

Truth

Im done with speaking my mind cuz i got to much to say
Im done with living the lie cuz it truthfully not really me
Trying to do right for organization that dont do right by me
Drowning in the sorrow that was mostly brought on by me
Looking for a light but its too dark to see
My emotion on a platter that hidden by my own deceit 
Success was my lust but i chose to run
Now im feeling sicc for the decisions i chose came undone
Reality is in and i can see it clearly 
If i dont make the change i will lose it mentally 
Trying to rearrange the game being played into my favor
But anxiexty taking over into the the winning favor
Depression is that what im feeling
My mind so gone i pretend im chilling
I like for people to hear me but in the code of ryhme 
So the only people that truly hear me knows my mind 
Time to stop trying to force the wheel
Cuz i know he will take over and show me whats real
He took me down this path so i would not be blinded by the surreal 
Because when you are at your lowest he will guide you bacc up i new hill
Then next step it up the mountain 
Now the sky the limit some crazy profound shit
I pray i can find the will because i keep searching but im still grounded 
This from the heart not the mind because like i said its got way too much to say 
Peace and God Bless all 
And dont you worry i wait through hell and water for mine
Because when i shine it will be in bright fury 
Moving nations on a path matter of a fact a journey

Silent Man

The words of a silent man can be world changing breathe taking devastating 
The words of a silent man who knows and sees most but must stay silent
The words of a silent man aren’t meant to be heard until you already know the words yourself
The silent man must choose how and when to speak because the silent man’s truths make him hated because truth can not be handled by the weak willed. 
Weakness is not always something that can be seen by the person and the silent man speaking comes as aggressive to let the weakness of others be know the silent man is not perfect but broken so to cast judgement he has to judge himself he who is also weak and not ready so he must wait because to transcends his many transgressions will turn him from the silent man to The visionary
