Queen

Glowing brown skin Queen
A muse, goddess, my moonshine
A kiss of gold love

Sleep Is the Cousin of Death

I stay up through the nights.
Will I get to eat tonight?
Will I see the day I turn 21?
One-Day, will I feel the pain of a gun?
Will I die young?

Am I asking too many questions?
Does everything happen for a reason?
Is everything I go through one of God's lessons?
Will I go to Heaven?

I stay up through the nights.
Will I reach new heights?
Lord tell me everything will be alright.
Now I think I want to be in love with the lights.
I don’t want to fall to a Price.
Lord tell me everything will be alright.

I stay up through the night.
My eyes are getting heavy.
Am I ready to sleep?
Because Sleep Could be Deadly

Black Lips

Black lips vibrating for the right mix
Black lips kiss with a passion, Black fistfight for our past and future sons
bloodshed lies spilled
Black lips start to peel
slaving for a meal, time standing still, life flying by
black lips begin to cry, no more lies, no more corrupt minds
Cut all ties with evil spines, attempting to take the soul of the Black lips, with a quick fix
gripping tight on the crucifix
hundreds of years running
hundreds of years of being a fugitive, accused of living Black, black Lips Start To fight Back
Activist, these Lips Never Fall back
These Lips were in Defense, and Now It's Time to Attack
never double back to slavery
black lips keep the bravery
Are some going to hell? maybe, you cannot save all beings
it's human nature, even though God Created everything
Going through the struggle
black lips start to sing
I'm blessed in the name of the King, All Through Summer, Winter, Fall, and Spring.
I Will Sing
"I'm Blessed."

Comfort Zone

A feeling that gets me feeling the greatest 
flipping through songs that make me feel like I'm going to make it
I can sit back, chill & relate with
The sun goes up & the moon goes down
I know I have not yet reached the rooftops every day, but I'm sure not Touching the ground.
Have much to believe in, but do I believe it or not?
My mind keeps racing while my face is stuck
Then my eyes close shut
Zoning in & out of conscious
Deep thoughts on how I was born into the sickness of the world
Will I sit back & die from it or live past it?
I'm feeling it
The high I get from  life
That grew into my life 
Feeling like everything is alright
If I die tonight, my soul will be already dancing around the starlights
I had a cruel summer, but I'm going to enjoy my chill winter nights
Reaching new heights
The comfort is just right
My mind is in the clouds
My body has slowed down
I Lay gently into a dream & in my dream, I never wake up from my dream
Lost in it all
The sky, the galaxy & everything in-between
 
-In my zone

This Is the Day

This is the day which the Lord hath made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
But we rather are sad in it.
We rather hate it.
Kill, Steal and Destroy
Boast about our joy
Money, Cars, and Cloths
Tell us you got all the hoes.
Why do are women want to be hoes?
Why are we dancing on poles?
Men, don’t you know women are a key ingredient to our souls.
Women don’t, you know, you're worth more than pure gold.
Platinum, Crystals, and Diamonds

This is the day which the Lord hath made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
That is the only way we are going to save our planet.
We have to make our way because we are here to stay.
Hold on to what is right, believing in your rights.
Love is the only weapon you need to fight.
Because This is the Day where everything change
This is the Day where we are only calling on one name.
This is the day where we all get to see them fancy things.
This is the day where there are no more nightmares and only dreams.
This is the Day where you will see greener pastures and blue streams.
This is the day where we all are announced, kings and queens.
This is the Day Heaven begins to sing.

Game Time

It's Game Time!
A New Year, a new mind
Never rewind; fast forward to our grind time.
Our Shine illuminates the world with some simple rhymes but knowledge.
As we are attending college, pray for our profit.
Pray we stay honest in a barrel full of crabs.
This world is trying to grab our soul, eat us whole, sink us below, but we cannot go low.
The only way we know is home, heaven-sent.
We are Pitching to the kids because the grown mind is already corrupt.
Struck with illusions, pornographic confusion, we are living in ruins, building on top of death.
There could never be true peace until God sends back his seed, replant his garden.
Eden Reborn, it's more than a dream, but a vision that's has been created, outdated.
Walking by Faith, Pray we Graduate on our new start, never park
We going for it until we win it all
We are PoeticVibes

Colored Rain

Blues clouds weeping pink rain
Skipping over puddles of pain
Headed to the apartment plastered with joyful stains
I just can’t complain when I’m with you every day it’s like the sun is playing my favorite jam
With strawberries in your hand
My fingertips sticky from whipping your lips
A kiss is never enough
Your hips just make me wanna touch
Drizzled by your mist
A mist full of bliss

I can’t hide the way you make me feel
Let's go back out into the tropical wild
Can we just dance out here for a while?

Blue clouds gushing out yellow rain
Will you be my love today?
The hours on the clock burst into confetti
Looks like there is no such thing as time
So in the meantime, I need you to fly with me to catch those stars aligned
The moon is magenta
This heart will never leave ya
This tung will always lick ya and never lie
You are the butterfly and the bee
The Matilda and the magic
The red rain and purple clouds
A dream I want to repeat

Blue clouds and loving rain
Lazy grass and a hand I can sustain
Potent flowers with rainbow veins
Hallucinations and feet rubs
Bubble baths and candle lights
Fantasies I just want them right
This colored rain set me free tonight.

Colored Man

My Body is literally Scared Up.
My Heart Is Torn
My Mind Screwed Up
I'm Sick To My Stomach, but I Can't Throw Up.
Unsatisfied by my performance in Life
Dreaming about A Rope To End a Life
Feeling Unloved from the ones that Raised Me. 
Tears at Night Soaks Down To the Bed Springs
Look Up to My Big Brother; he is living a successful life.
Look at me; my heart is dying to live right.
I grew up in the slums Been Called Stupid and Dumb.
Soon Got The Diploma So Half The Battle is Won
My Eyes are Open Wide To see more Tears and Lies.
Colored Crack and Dope fiends These Are The Days Of Our Lives.
Mr. Colored Man Dare To Be Different
It's Time for a Change Say, Mr. President
A Colored Man Full of Emotion but Not Easily Broken, but can be Broken by a Woman Who says She loves Him Then Turns To another Man and Gives Her Love to Him
Through The Shakes, Turbulence, and Aftershocks Still, I Stand A Colored Man.

My Cry

I'm Drowning in my Sins
The Devil has me in a Spin. 
It Never Seems Like I'm Going to Win 
I Pray to God to Forgive Me, but my Sins seem to Repeat.
Lord, Don't let me Suffer in Defeat. 
I'll kneel and Kiss your Feet, But in this battle, I'm Losing Me.
My Soul is Living Free
Knowing in the End Torture is Forever Bonded to me. 
Keep Inhaling The Smoke and get Thrown in the Fire.
My Deepest Desires gets Me Thrown in the Fire.
So does that Mean My Mind is Messed Up?
My Spirit Messed Up?
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Forgive Me For My Thoughts
Forgive Me For My Desires
Every Day I'm Sinning I Feel like I'm Getting Closer to The Day I Expire
Wash Me Clean
Make Me New 
Bring Me To The Light and Let The World Hear My View

Addicted

My mind is going crazy.
Everything is looking hazy.
When I get "A Taste of Nature."
Yes, That's Her Nickname "A Taste of Nature"
I'm addicted To her lips.
With Mary Jane, she lays on me a soft kiss.
Hunted by a great feeling, that has me feeling like I need more.
A troubled mind
It's my healing 
Please put me in a straightjacket to prevent me from my bad habits. 
It's like weights on my feet, and I'm at the bottom of the pool trying to speak.
Who am I living for?
Am I living for me? or having these addictions overpower me making me weak
For A moment, I get stronger.
Praying for God to stay with me just a little bit longer 
But she said she would always be down and don't forever sound much more longer.
"Come lay with me."
It feels good
But she is making me sick.
I wouldn't say I like this feeling, but she is here for my feelings and when I want to forget.
It's a love and hate battle.
A day and night hassle 
Into a fiery furnace or a beautiful castle
I am addicted
I know what should the end be
I'm just being stupid and letting her love me. 
When she away from me 
I can feel her touch me.
I'm addicted
But tonight, I'm breaking the chain.
All of my addictions are all in my brain.
I just gave it gender and a cute name. 
Call it growing pains because I'm struggling.
But it is time to grow.
They say I'm all talk.
So Shhhhhhhhhhh...
