Just the sign of the times/L.G.B.T. is the hot trend/ Grandma 36 call her bigger mama/not big mama/ daddy passing down all his bad habits/keeping the good one for his self / grandpa didn't take care of his health/ sister use the coochy as a credit card and never pay it back/brother got one foot in and one foot out of trouble/Uncle trickin off pouring his pain in a double/Auntie whoring to get over/Â baby lost with no direction/leaders need 10 Viagra/weeks like days, years like minutes/tears like Seattle rain/love found like indigenous people/ it's the sign of the times.

Boyz in the HoodThe boyz in the hood are always hard/Fresh like new concrete- they get stepped on and finger printed but remain hard/juggle women like a juggler juggle balls/father figures fictional/only outlet is drugs, hustling, gangs, and sports/so they high,trappin,bangin, scoring/Living to die and deaths on every corner/street skilled statistics struggling, surviving/"projects"- who's experiment? Observation we still here/ anomie theory is what they call it/free clinic, government cheese, Tuskegee experiment,animal conditioning, poverty/ we've been exposed to it-enmity /jail or death is the options yet we crash through the middle fork/ball breakers can't break brothers trying to get bread breathing/ no matter the reason we here/get use to/tough as nails cuz hammers bang on us/ we still don't bend/ put us in a hole and watch us hold it down/ the boyz in the hood have to be hard/ due to cards dealt/situation always serious/ tough shell- we never crack/ crack a head if you test/ put under pressur... |
AgeAs I age I can see more clear/ starting to recognize the man in the mirror/ Ancestors planting messages in my night class/Seeing the world through my inner eyeglass/Sankofa/Sankofa/ even the blind can see if they focus/natural deterioration of the flesh/ but my mind sharper than a billion Sumari swords/ my objective yet revealed/ future filled with stares and gray hairs/ Purpose and promise/ Not ready for the big sleep/ Longevity a gift and a curse/you see the best followed by the worst/with age comes wisdom and responsibility. |
No indictmentsThe system is a joke/ it's broke with no peace(s)/my brothers are being futuristicly lyched/pinched by the pattyrollers/ hated on since the first gaze/ the sight of dark flesh broke the water of jealousy/wheather Ferguson,Florida,Cleveland, New York/no matter the location it's hunting season on people of color/govt. Alley ooping marshall law/ we're tired of the injustice/forget the marching or sit ins/that was and is a joke /enough being civil/millions of color folks can't be stopped/ Jacob's ladder is ubiquitous/more deaths with "no indictments"/them fighting words/Mose still saying let's his people go/ while the enemy saying kill them before they grow/the system is a joke. |
GhostwriterThese words come from my ghostwriter/where is the fighters/ how you going to recline if you haven't put in work/if you knew like i knew you would go berserk/who says the Mayans got it wrong/ the Earth as we knew it cease to exist/ those awake see that it's exactly what was proficized/ the sin gates overflowing/ spiritual homicide/crooked cops taking lives/jealousy no longer in disguise/no regard for human life/these words come from my ghostwriter/for every killer there is a dead man's curve/ so be careful who you merge! |
God will take you..God will take you through hell to get you to heaven/ so I guess this is a pit stop/Till he say stop- it's lesson after lesson/ follow by blessing after blessing |
Definition of my name: Noble and readyNoble and ready/firm and steady/Lord prepare me/ headed where no man has gone before/explore my soul/ let there be light like never before/firm grip on the septor/I accept my identity and responsibility/ no matter who comes against me/ im noble and ready. |
Fun to do mentalsFun to do mentals/one of the most powerful weapon one possesses/ the ability to think/then think deeper/sure bet to arrive at big tree (victory).. |
Mahogany mahoganyMahogany mahogany/my skin/they flogging me/ wondering what I did/anger over my skin/mahogany mahogany/stepped outside with my bb gun/pow pow/they no longer flogging me/hatred still following me/and I'm only a kid/mahogany mahogany/my skin/like a mechanical pencil/they no longer flogging me/ mahogany mahogany/ the color of my casket/wondering what I did/murdered because of my skin/mahogany mahogany |
