So Just Because You Can

Just because you can 
Sailing ships away is easier then returning them back to port with red tainted monther land sand to perpetuate a pain then will later pledge a society by man’s evil  hands. That pain for years mixed with fears with not  allowed to be talked about but commanded to understand un the lie that its over since we took or gave this here still dos and riot shields bring fear but said don’t live her in the USA but you so ok anyway 
Just because you can 
Doesn’t mean that    dad decides to divide  instead of reside where you and your mother standed or hides due the facet of the lack of manhood hes had inside doesn’t mean in years of upset stomachs  and hearts that barly can comprehend  we mend to you push to be the subliminally by the same man just to act the same way he said the I can cause his father was that type of man 
Just because you can
So why do we knock her image As pristine as created.  Only because her back history  oh my mistake black listing the trust only because her power to change you cant clame  and Her future is in her youth so what truth she know must be detroyed by you simply because if you cant control beauty you must define it  so what you  name call and taunt till her mind is frail as yours is  for sale yet you say this life she lead has nothing to do with mine but you buy her and promote her so she is proud of being loose perpetuated for a dime. Instead of you being man enough to hold her at night tell her you are scared to lose her always chose her love and never   to hide    wife that makes you a man even when society saids your are soft to even want  just to  hold ur hand you can  feel  alright but that feeling you fight 
just because you can 
Kats get shot for spaces on concrete cracks  and due to lack  better parent hood into and not around the project Mat . To be truthful in my city no one is met with love only homelessness so quick aint easy cause everybody got a contact to get some compact and can change a life that’s what they all say but prob just another scared kid. So many og’s lie, and help you die like they can’t or control what you eat and what time so of course there is crime and I thank its real  I just wanna know what’s on your mind cause doc a glock got mine   a color you wear determents whether ur bloodline dies at his had  of a kid wanna be hard at one five  or are you alive but dead week and you sit waiting on death in a Bed
Just because you can  
BREATH

How Do You Love

Is I may display how I feel don’t think reality would say its something they could feel like foreal why not with its definition  she was that coca butter brown skin type but lips built with enough grace to disrupt ur windpipe the opposite on the norm but when graced with its soft embrace ur harts warm with brown eyes that no amount of lies penetrate  the type of eyes you would try countless time to imitate but only her heart can penetrate ur heart  in this way the type that’s says how was ur day instaed of what you do today as is already accusing you of not being enough to talk about  the same women ud be lost without  she has that petite shape but enough curve to make you look strait at her  not in hope of denouement but where you derive empowerment  she is that African queen of the Nile not a sexual vermin vile to be wasted  life juice after you gotten  what you need and now waste it cant understand why u even taske it when a brother no matter the skin color longs for her to appear then give his life a facelift I mean face it she held queen wile u defile her for yourself esteem  when is ur dream of love real enough to respect  instead you put to much love in a 2 daller  girl and get mad when the misshapes her dad made is the blueprints to how ur love respected but by no means  do I need all queen without fathers feel disrespected merely the one that let what he had never done break you because my queen you can only make you I nor the lie or any man could nor should so she looks me in my eyes past all my lies and say how do you love
