Keorie Mcmillan Poem
So what if we believed in everything we said ?
Numerous opportunities began with a thought of demand...But the price is to high for freedom.
Creative lies just seeking attention , but did anybody mention the truth.
The youth blindly loitering the soup of food you provided.
While you voice your opinion who do you speak truth to?
Misconceptions from my perspective , I tried to warn you about politicians.
Not just Congress man and women ; but your favorite athlete or rapper with riches.
You think people genuinely care about god’s children?
They leave the gate open while snakes roam in.
The sheep are constantly being blind folded while a leader remote both ends.
YOU GONE DIE WITH A PACK FUNERAL THINKING EVERYBODY YO FRIEND.
Focused without coke but the leader nose red.
The World Leaders and icons have blind folded us.
Forcing us to believe in other people dreams instead of creating our own thing.
Only one person can make your soul sing.
That’s the God in you.
Don’t believe anything on the big screen , because your blind folded.
Your mind knows it.
The God in you said “DON’T LET THE INTERNET STOP YOU FROM KNOWING”.
Books at the goodwill are 25 cent , but you spent your rent on _____________ .

Keorie Mcmillan Poem
I wanna wake up and be blinded be your grin
You spent all your time in my tent
We even ride behind tint just to hide from your friends
But I'm not ashamed of you
I'm focused on changing you
Unchaining you until your heart is free
Don't start with me i know I'm aggressive , overprotective , A drunk brainiac that's so restless
But at night I lay my head where your chest is
Despite all our wrestling
I wanna tell my Bestfriend he can be my best man
I know saying this is so jr high school
But I like you
In prison with my feelings so in my thoughts I write you sweet letters like we should be together
You my Coachella our love is good music
Above the influence but you convinced me to cook for you
I look for you but you no where to be found
I'm not shook because when I needed you you weren't around
I Smile without a doubt but I hate you Because of you I'm drunk on the couch

Keorie Mcmillan Poem
I looked upon the stars , When I gazed at your face.
I seen mars & flying cars I hope this vision don't fade.
I wonder why these butterflies want escape the base of my brain.
Sometimes I think that your love ain't the same.
Your smile turn to a cry like how the sunshine became sudden rain.
You bring my heart sudden pain why did you walk away .
All the trust you've gain just to erase.
Please don't change summer rain.
Please don't fade summer rain.
I need summer rain to make flowers grow .
And when the hours go past I laugh at all the things we could've had.
Or should've had.
Rain pours on the glass after an hour pass 12.
And all I can think about is how I needed your help.
I wondered what you see in myself.
Or did you heal my heart because I needed your help.
Summer rain you are so far away.
And Every time I complain you go further in the wind.
Some nights I pretend that we'll be one again.
Summer rain summer rain I hate that you faded away.
My heart has faded To gray ...
Without you My heart is Arizona & California in the summer days ...
You're so far away I prayed for your summer rain.

Keorie Mcmillan Poem
Let me breathe the slave chains are choking me.
My brain racing because the information is over loading me.
All this name brand shit, who am i suppose to be?
A slave to the name my gold chain dripped blood on the leaves.
Thugs on the streets told me to remain a G.
My professor told me i have a message and im suppose to speak.
Lost in the world with wolves in a couple sheep.
In the restraunt acting nonchalant taking shots but im not old enough to drink.
Thats depression , i'm stressing but an angel spoke to me.
She said my progression is destine , but destiny still text me sweet messages.
My mind is in one direction , the cops cant catch us.
And if they do i got on gold , so they can use it to lynch us .
Feeling like a king , but on the news i see black vicitms.
New slaves told the way they treat us.
Give me a basketball scholarship , a rap deal , or some fried chicken.
We all god's children ?
Well why Kin still Killing ?
And why judges still whispering ?
"Its ok i'll handle this one , case innocent "

Keorie Mcmillan Poem
One day I just want to mean something
If I could be something I will dream nothing
Pharaohs wore gold so I suppose I’ll keep stunting
I’m trying to fight for my rights but every night I keep running
Isn’t astonishing that I’m a black man that can’t stand being moderate
It was my plan to take over in politics, but damn I can’t even get a scholarship
Am I different because I’m fatherless?
I been living my life for a while, but as your child I wanted you to be a part of it
Sometimes I feel like the only thing that is close to me
Are Basic instructions before leaving earth grandma said I’m supposed to read
But it’s more to me. I survive, feed, and remain fly
Either I’m a soaring eagle or one of god’s chosen people
I hate the word potential, I will come 1st no matter what I been threw
And when things get worse I remembered how to kneel
Numb to what’s real I forgot how fraud feels
How we against each other but worship the same god still?
As long as we bleed the same we are the same.

Keorie Mcmillan Poem
I can do anything threw Christ , by his stripes i am healed
His shield protect me , and if they don't yield when they see my shield they don't respect me
I would give someone the shirt off my back
All i want is the truth off your tongue
i was Running my mouth telling lies until thy
tripped over a tree stump in the garden of Eden
Looked away from the fruit and started praying & grieving
Demons in disguised we slaved for these men
Just to escape my fears and insecurities i'm going to build 2 underground railroads
Put my pride on my sail boat
and go who the hell knows
You don't know your strength when your facing a lion
You didn't realize you where David when you seen that your obstacles where giants
JUST DON'T STOP TRYING
Am i crazy for dreaming
Its either keep my day job or be paid to become a demon
I kept my day job day dreaming
Just giving god his glory why Lucifer stay scheming
My equilibrium aint even
God is on my team so I let the messiah take a peek in ,
and he told me keep moving forward like i'm putting pressure on the defense
let the light from justice shine in my face i see a brighter future
I can control my anger now like lighter fluid
You ask me how i do it
I had a pilot by the name of jesus christ and he guides me threw it

Keorie Mcmillan Poem
I wonder how long it will take to be great.
I wonder will my people ever be safe.
I wonder what happens to the boy who prays every day.
I wonder what happens to the man who takes people life away.
Shit I even wonder about the circumstance I’m in,
I use to get in trouble wondering if neighbors were going to turn me in.
Stomach still rumbling, wondering if this change gone save me again.
I wonder if you really know the struggles of brave men.
Nothing can contain you, but the man said a cage can at the station sho’ damn can,
I wonder who is going to save him.
They say “don’t wonder.. think like this,
You shouldn't have a mind of your own think like this ".
And we shake our heads no but we take one sip.
You said you was walking in sin just until you bought one crib.
I wonder if the bible had a urban version would people read it.
I wonder if the pastors of churches end service early just to speak to Jesus.
Or did service end early for different reasons.
I wonder if the pastor getting a new car since it’s a different season.
I wonder why people so scared to talk.
I wonder how many black people called MLK before the million man march like "I’m scared to walk".
I wonder how many people aint scared at all
I wonder if you know the reason why you didn't make it to the top is because you scared to fall.
I wonder why people don't chase their dreams, they just walk with reality.
I wonder why people always stuck on their iPod but scream to our god when it’s a tragedy.
I know you would probably laugh at me, but understand this not even half of me
God walks with me you can sense his presence but can’t grab his feet.
I wonder how many human beings think rationally.
I wonder how many people never prayed to their majesty and wonder why they not living happily.
I wonder will our generation ever rise above and say look who I become.
But I aint dumb, we can say the war is over but they turn around and put their silencers on their guns.
It’s so confusing, it’s hard being black, educated, and separated from the roads everybody choosing.
I wonder if I can ever stop wondering, the bus back home is coming in, and I’m fumbling thinking how I can make us one again....

Keorie Mcmillan Poem
You ever had that feeling that you couldn’t make it ?
Or you imagined greatness, but in that same day you felt complacent.
Well my mind still racing, from all the times I did nothing but praying.
Congratulations to whomever chasing their dreams.
Congratulations to whomever wake up in the morning feeling like kings and queens.
Don’t punish yourself for wanting to do more.
I see you leaving your assignments at your professor front door
, because you can’t be too sure.
You are the pilot of your destiny and knowledge gives your spirit more mileage
Life is not timeless ,
so you have to be mindful that everything you are doing should make your mind grow
That’s the mindset I’m trying to dissect in the youth minds today.
Never think you are anything less than great
Because god never made anything less than great
Dedication is the reason your dreams want fade
So don’t be hesitant to be better than yesterday
So congratulate yourselves
For the elevation you made so far
And because of faith you came this far
& if it’s in your plans to aim for mars
Never let anyone tell you, that you aim to large
You can’t change your thought unless you change your heart
So if you are In love with becoming successful.
Only you can break the connection apart!

Keorie Mcmillan Poem
My grandma told me to take god hand and start grasping it tight
I was asking Santa for somewhere to crash at some nights
Christmas times means more pampers and wipe’s
Grew up chased money like Casper at night
I’m fly look at me I can master my kite
You can be anything if you imagine right
Hooper’s trying to escape the bull and get drafted like mike
Finally got cut I can’t remember if I was smashing it right
We was struggling hustling moving Grammies at night
I should of won a Oscar or became a doctor or some
She searching for her baby father I remember when she wouldn’t let no one hit
You rather hit 3RD base or be in first place
I’m a king in my dreams I think about ancestors my birth place
If you look from my angel you’ll see my angel
When it’s just you in the mirror do you see the change to

Keorie Mcmillan Poem
Wishing the time would stop
I got rhymers block
But I a shine a lot
Listening to mines & PAC
Music confused when my time will start
Influence by the recruitment oF Noah's finest ark
I'm grinding hard cover your thoughts I will blind the dark
No matter the size I'll guard
Any Goliath
Faith of a mustard Tell my enemies try it
Days I put my trust in thee kept my enemies quiet
You can't even crush my dreams
My beliefs or the book that I read
The Basic instructions before leaving earth
Help me functionally breathe
Thinking what's my worth I went to church & got baptized
They ask why cause My sins was long as satire
Sins without 1 repent is like a Benz with a flat tire
I vent and ask god to give me strength when I'm mad tired
Cause When you on the edge
You can't lower your head
Instead take a moment to pray
And say Jehovah show me the way
I lose focus some days
But I know that im chosen
I know that I'm golden
Martin had a dream that a new king would be so outspoken
I'm starting to see how real things go unnoticed
Cops kill us po kids
& the Judge closed both lips
Jury read the verdict
We furious he nervous
But the case is always innocent god what are we dealing with
They kill us black guys before we get a job and hit the dealership
Can't even drive on 95 without getting our feelings killed
They say Sky is the limit until the ceilings built
Keep your eye on the price and strive keep Fulfilling it
& If you fall try 2 climb that hill again
When you reach the top of the mountain
Teach everybody you surrounding
& that's how we make it out man
Dr king paved the way
& It's safe to say that we have to make a way today
Quit being afraid and let your bird leave it's cage
Do you know why the caged bird sing ?
Because in it's mind it's not afraid to let freedom ring
