Of Royal Blood

Of Royal Blood 

Do you know that you 
are of royal blood?

Can you feel it pulsing 
through your veins?

We don't come from any ordinary 
blood line.

We are of royal blood.

We have blood of African queens
and kings inside of us.

Blood that is rooted in 
every corner of the Motherland. 

This blood line doesn't make us
better than anyone else 

But it should make us want to 
do better 

Our ancestors sacrificed their 
lives to give us a chance to 
shine. 

So make sure you take your 
chance to become the queen 
or king that you really are.

Do you know that you 
are of royal blood?

We don't come from any ordinary 
blood line.

We have blood of African queens
and kings inside of us.

We are of royal blood.

Should I

I was going through 
my mother’s things 
trying to find something 
that she will recognize.

She has good days and 
she has bad days.

I had to hire a nurse 
to help me take care 
of her because when 
she has a bad day 
she can be a hand 
full.

I felt bad about 
going back to 
work, but I am 
behind on my
bills.

My boss said 
that I can work 
from home, so 
I will do that 
starting next 
month.

 Some of my 
friends are telling
me to put my mom 
in a home.

I’m not going to 
 lie sometimes 
I do think about it 
especially when,
she gets violent with
me and the nurse.

I want to take care 
of my mother until I
can’t, but the question 
should I put her in 
a home is always in the 
back of my mind.

Like a Lioness

Ready or not, here I come;
no more fear, no more doubt.



My voice is strong and it needs 
to be heard 

My spirit is my strength and I'm 


finally ready to take my place in 
the world. 

Like a lioness looking over her

kingdom, she lets out a mighty roar.



I'm ready to unleash my own mighty
roar.

My voice is strong and it needs
to be heard.

Ready or not, here I come;


no more fear no more doubt

Like a lioness protecting her

cub, she stands her ground. 



I'm ready to stand my ground. 

My spirit is my strength and I'm 


finally ready to take my place in 
the world.

Candle Wax

Watching the wax dripping 
off like tears.

Feeling the warm glow 
on my face. 

Watching the flame dance 
like a ballerina on center stage. 

Drip after drip and minute 
after minute. 

Watching the wax dripping 
off like tears.

The heat solfly kissing my 
skin.

The wax covers me like a 
second skin.

Drip after drip and minute 
after minute. 

Watching the wax dripping 
off like tears.

The flames shadow light 
up the room.

Watching the wax dripping 
off like tears.

Drip after drip and minute 
after minute. 

The flame goes out.

Never Look Back

Keep looking forward and 
never look back.

Your past is in the past. 

Don't let things you went
through define you. 

Be the best you that you 
can be right now. 

You can't dwell on the past 
you just have to learn from 
your mistakes and move 
forward. 

Keep looking forward and 
never look back.

God didn't look at your 
past, so why should you 

So many people get caught 
up living in the past and can't 
seem to grab a hold on the 
future. 

Stop crying over spilled milk. 
All you have to do is clean it up
and move on.

Don't look at your past because 
God isn't looking at it.

Just be the best you that you 
can be right now 

And the best way to do that is
to keep looking forward and 
never look back.

She Ain'T Me

Do you understand it
now?

It's true the grass is not 
always greener on that 
other side.

We have the same eye color. 

We even have the same
body type. 

But there's one big difference 
she ain't me.

She Ain't me and she will 
never be me.

You left a rose for a weed.

Boy you are a king, so you 
are supposed to be with 
a queen and not a peasant, 

You keep telling me she
treats you better

But your friends are saying 
otherwise. 

You left a diamond for a
cubic zirconia

Remember not everything 
that sparkle is the real 
deal.

She might look like me,
but I doubt that.

She might even act like me,
naw I don't think so.

Do you understand it 
now?

She Ain't me and she will 
never be me.

So Wait Slavery Was a Choice

So wait,  let me get this right now 
slavery was a choice. 

So my ancestors didn't get brought 
over here against theirs wills.

So my ancestors wasn't chained 
and bound to a ship 

So my ancestors wasn't brought 
and sold like cattle. 

Let me get this right now
slavery was a choice 

So wait, my ancestors didn't 
get beaten and murdered for 
trying to escape. 

And my female ancestors wasn't 
raped and my male ancestors 
didn't get beaten if they even 
looked at a white woman. 

Let me get this right now 
slavery was a choice. 

Slavery was never a choice, 
but it was something horrible 
that happened to my and your 
ancestors. 

So please don't say that slavery 
was a choice.

Mr Ice Man

Ice water pulsing though 
your veins.

Heart made out of ice.

Nothing can get in and you won't 
let anything get out.

Hey Mr. Ice Man why are you 
so cold?

Hey Mr. Ice Man can I get to
know you.

Hiding your true feeling behind
your frosty eyes. 

Every time you touch me 
this feel like ice.

Making me feel frozen 
just with one word.

Hey Mr. Ice Man why are you 
so cold? 

Hey Mr. Ice Man you won't 
turn me into you.

I Wanted To Tell You That I'M Ok

I think about you everyday.

I miss you with every fiber of
my being. 

I went through a lot of stuff 
since you left. 

Some good moments and some 
bad moments. 

I'm writing this to tell you that
I'm ok.

I graduated from high school in 
1996 and I know that you was
looking down at me. 

In 2012 I did something no one 
thought I couldn't do I graduated 
from Miami Dade North.

2016 was a good year for me
I graduated from Florida
International University and 
I truly found myself.

The bad moments are not 
worth talking about.

I know you were up there 
watching and guiding me
though everything.

I grew up a lot since you left. 

I'm writing this to tell you that
I'm ok.

Last Dance

Looking at you from across 
the room knowing this was
last time I was going to see
you.

Our favorite song "Dilemma"
by Nelly blasting through 
the loud speakers.

You wouldn't even look
at me.

The gym's dark grey walls
decorated like a Las Vegas 
casino it looked  like a
gold glitter monster 
threw up.

You in your suit looking like 
the polished politician that you 
dreamt of becoming.


Me in my homemade dress
of course I would be wearing 
one of my own designs.

When we first met I literally 
couldn't stand you. I thought 
You were a brat and I'm pretty 
sure you thought I was a brat too.

You finally looked up at me;
You walked slowly to me hooked 
your pinkie around mine.

You walked me to the
middle of the dance floor 
just then "Don't Change" 
by Musiq.

I didn't want the song to end
especially after you told me 
you asked the DJ to play it.

"This will be the last song 
of the night," said the DJ.

Tha song ended and you
kissed me on my forehead  
turned and walked away 
leaving me there. 

Last song of the night!
Last dance of the year!
Last time I will ever see you!
