I Am But Me

Had an epiphany today, a realization to my dismay
That I was never evil, despite all the words that I say
I've always questioned the planet, trying hard to understand it
Humans and Gods, Why are we here? I often ranted
If I questioned God, then I must be bad, I believed it
Becoming the serpent, the Devil and the hate I received it
But I was never lost, just wanted to be my own boss
My soul isn't the cost, my spirit can't be simply glossed
I am me, gleefully accept responsibility
For I am but a man trying to be a living diety
My love and words have never meant any harm
I just wanted to be the one to raise the alarm
If our eyes are closed, we aren't legally blind
If our minds are confined, then we aren't one of a kind
No better than cattle, I won't be domesticated
Understanding of oneself can never be underrated
I think I finally made it, to the other side of the shore
A castaway no more, I've opened a new door

Sorry, Not Sorry

I owe no apology for me being me
I owe no "i'm sorry" if I offended thee
I will never apologize for speaking my truth
Being sorrowful is uncalled for, for words spoke in youth
Any plea for forgiveness will fall on deaf ears
I was thoughtful in every vowel I spoke in my years
I have no justification, if it reduced you to tears
I somehow found joy in exploiting your fears
I was what I was, that fact remains true
But instead I can tell you just what I will do

I will assure you to help bring out your best
Can guarantee that I will try to help and invest
In bringing you closer to a better place of mind
I solemly swear, No words of unkind
With a vow somehow, change hearts on this planet
The covenent I explore is deep, I don't fully understand it
My obligation to mankind runs deep in my veins
I pledge to help relieve all the pains and the strains
The intention, with no pretention, is be who I was
Without the selfishness, or need for applause

Child Suicide

I can no longer hide, I admit that I cried
When I heard kids went live, and committed suicide
They had no one to confide, felt they had it worse
Feeling like life ain't a blessing, just bad,and a curse
And no verse is gonna give back their young lives
But I strive, to voice their hurt, through my eyes
Everybody wants fame, people to remember their name
To see they're distinctive and not all the same
A tear from the soul, they can no longer hide
A broadcast of their past, is told worldwide
Is someone listening? Does someone care?
Is anyone gonna stop me? Or just wait and just stare?
1,000 friends and no one did a damn thing
Empty words were blurbed, does that count as the same thing?
Hidden pain with no refrainment, is not entertainment
Watching but not helping for your infotainment.

My Hip Hop Heart

I always knew hip hop was never a fad
Hip hop  helped create Grandaddy Bad
The beat hits my soul, and I lose all control
The lyrics start to roll, the energy takes a toll
Cause I gotta spit, keep it legit and real
I will never forget the rhymes appeal
Its not something you can steal, its born from heart
Knowing from the start, not just a poem but art
I will keep kickin it, till I can't speak no more
Lyrically lickin it, till I creak like doors
Give me a beat, a mic and a stage to engage
Use the platform beyond norm and perform like im caged
I want hands in the air, pumped fists just like this
No need for a care, once there, keep em there
Hip hop is a spirit, and once ya hear it
If you fear it, you should never come near it

When I'M Gone

When my life is deceased and deplete
I wanna go out with a kick and a beat
Leave this life, with the sound thats straight from the street
I am hip hop, it made me whole and complete
A rhyme of my lifetime that would sum up my life
Bring words of our memories, all the pain and the strife
The happy times and the smiles that we may have shared
A Dj on the tables spinning tunes, shows you cared
No false pretense makes sense for my end
Check 1,2...1,2 shows you were my friend
Pour a little liquor, raise a glass in the air
Smoke a blunt, laugh for me, this is my dare
If I have to leave the world, I need it to bounce
A smile across your face is the only thing that counts

Honor True Heroes

Before you are flippant to an old wrinkled soul.
Remember they were once innocents, barely 18 years old.
Ill trained, unprepared, sent abroad, to a land unseen.
To fight for our freedom. The biggest war ever seen.
Through hunger, fear, and wet tired feet.
They marched through the mud to try and defeat.
The enemy who would kill their bunkmates and brothers.
If no battle who knows just how many others.
These boys died and cried in trenches dug deep.
So you and your family, tonight you can sleep.
Please show respect to every Vet, met and unmet.
They fought our fights, lest we forget.

Life

I mean you no harm
My name is Life, I am you
Fate is our mother

No destination
Our journey is together
Hope is our father

Hand in hand, we walk
The path strewn with obstacles
Forever, brothers

New Attitude

Not looking for grace, cause I never gave any
Sins? My face oh it shows so many
To be forgiven, I'm not gonna ask for it
A good soul I might just pass for it.
My days of ill will, have been downed with a kill
Despair is done,I done had my fill
A new day has come and it took so much time
That it defines a new rhyme, and it's entirely mine
A new mind and different way thinking
A new attitude that isn't freaking stinking
I'm done with the evil, this world has had enough
Of demons and darkside, we're full, far too stuffed
Enough of the rough stuff, trying to fill my heart
A revamp, a restart, a reboot of the heart
A new day and a new way, the way that I should
Instead of can't, or I won't, I say I did what I could.

The Day My Mother Died

My Mother started taking pills
Believing it would cure all her ills
But instead of harmony, she became a pharmacy
My world turned upside side down, no more normalcy
She became someone who I didn't know
This isn't the person who helped me grow
She claimed schizophrenia, all I saw was mania
With all her monsters, our home became Transylvania
I'd lock my bedroom door at night
Fall asleep full of fright
Thinking she just might, kill me in her plight

I talked to her doctor, was told to go away
The police were no help, man this cray
Unless she actually caused harm, they would not raise the alarm
But for me and my brothers our home was a farm
Tried to get her committed, but was met with resistance
No matter how loud I voiced my persistence
She'd disappear in the night, wondering what went wrong
How many times do we have to scream out the same old song
MOM, WHERE ARE YOU? I think she's lost in the forest
Where's the woman who was always there for us

All these years later, all the tears they have dried
Though she's alive, I live as if it was the day Mother died.

Frankenstein

I often feel like Dr Frankensteins creation.
Abandoned and shunned.
Fatherless. 
Searching for my creator to find some answers.
Why? did you do this but never love me.
I became a castaway in a harsh world
Just looking for peace.
Out of the anger built over years
I became a monster.
Wanting acceptance just like anyone else
Being able to prove I am not the monster you think
I want to be human
I want to be loved
