Young Blood

I am the representee of a culture that is strong and powerful within

a brotherhood built on a solid rock of trust

A energy that flows through the vains and makes it way to the heart

Naked among the obvious eye,
you'll observe a master of an art at it's finest

Lonesome skin brought unto the world
Self reliance becomes a struggle to endure

nevertheless the tensions grow and the gravels thicken
society drastically emerge almost catarophic

Pride, respect, and my word is all questioned under the streetlights

it's a vivid decision
social insight becomes dismantled
And a generation of deception that once lured you 
is bound to leave you with a bruise

Everything you desperately portrayed as a young blood 
got you trapped in it's eye-candy

Essence of Self

Sometimes i feel my faith is a chest of lost treasure without a map
I know that I'm destined to be loyal servant known to man 
In spite of the thornbushs cover my path
I'm never a pure breed 
but yet only worthy to those who speak of the most high
As i harvest the most divine fruit on this fertile soil
promised to be drenched by the flawless fain drops rejuvenating all it's dead 
roots
A treasure of the gates eases my heaviest burden
nevertheless conquering my vows and wages of supremecacy is a portrait of 
marbleitself
My golden armor shied's me from  the patrons of man
