Let me just spill
Raise your right hand
Lay it across your chest
From one soldier to the next
Today we take a plegde
That from this day on
We will not settle for less
Forget digging a man's grave about a little respect
Father's cherish ya kids
Before it's too late
Young black man
We is where its at man
We are a mass unchangeable
Unchained
We are indestructible
I am not for black power but black unity
And for a cause for a face to be equal in the community
I am not perfect
I know
I hurt I've wronged
I sin daily I blaze daily
I've sold drugs
I've been to jail
I don't have my kids
I always roll spliffs
I have sex unprotected sometimes
I hang out late night with the homies and kick rhymes
I am not a model citizen
I am just like you with different flaws from a different place with a different face different kin different skin
Yet we the same
Unique in some many ways
Yet we the same
Black white Chinese Hispanic
Different lands and languages
Yet we the same
We live at sleep and breathe the same air
We walking the same earth
Making you no better than me
Making no man or woman better than the next and I've come to terms with this
Some of us are skilled more than others
Look better than others
Sound write think better than others
The harsh reality is still we are the same.
We are all part of a community working together to be, to exist.
We are life

When you go to heavenEven if you hate me I don’t hate you I know I was bad But now I’m a dad Can’t have my seeds running the streets with no shoes Grind like the world owe me The world gon see The diamond from out the ruff Time and time it was rough Can’t have my kids growing up like me Some put hate on me some damn put praise on me Day after day With no shame I kept going I looked like a hobo but my kids were glowing If ion get paid then they don’t get no plate Seen my way n I took it Couldn’t do college So I booked it Spit that heat the from the heart I cooked em Like drug fiends I hooked em Show me somebody as good Under streets lights I stood I fought my way through my trials&nb...  |
RebuildJitt too jittery Lyrically I am menacing literally my literacy in a league of elite a team of me is a team of beast undefeated in any arena ring to put that hurt to me you must be Hercules to knock the smerk off me Rebuild. If our heartbeats are a ticking timebomb Loudly mine is tic tocing I cant even hear you and you keep talking Its obvious youre wishy washy cause not once have you stopped and asked how are ya? close ya jaw up ya mouth must be dryer than the sahara Heres a bottle of water let them lungs air up and take a moment Rebuild. Posted in front of this place With no gun on waist Just a plan on my brain And a pair of fist if I swing you’ll get Hit harder than a train But violence is not what im on today Today I rebuild

Dear ConscienceHello, im Mo Nice to meet you If you weren’t a voice in my head I’d shake your hand That’s a the proper way to greet you But you are A voice inside my head Sometimes giving me some dope thoughts Or a combination of dope words in my own thoughts I can put on paper and illustrate my dope art So close but so far My conscience I can’t feel you but I know you there When im bout to mess up You caution And when there is no one to talk with me You began talking When my friends would no longer walk with me I close my eyes realize you’re all I need….dear conscience |

Sheep to a wolfCling on to whatever feels good Loving how im living now White suv what im whipping round Gray skies turnt blue A thousand blunt i burnt until Greater things became unveiled Revealed To me was truth From a sheep to a wolf I survived some tragedies The kimd that make grown men weep A teenager weak A young boy unable to speak But i am warrior Win and loss a lot of wars still ready for more My story cannot bore Cus its a story of gore And if u cant stomache horror Dont read any more I bled and scars left The cries did all but heal Anger inspires your desires to kill Just say F it all and go get you some steel Yet strong will and morals Pause ya Quick images flicker in ya head of holding ya son or ya daughter You remember you a father And you stop Knkwing if them bullets get shot a body guna drop And now ya kid mother is All they got So yiu refocus and then resurface Kowing you gotta live different with a purpose From a young boy to a teenager than ... |
The Woman from my dreamsI was just chilling like a villain with Mary J When boom! Out of the blue comes you A woman of elegant display Though I'm quick and I'm witty Funny and litty Who? On the spot could think of something to say to you So I wing it Knowing this the only shot I got cause she leaving Stopped her in the park lot as she approached A beamer I said excuse miss I'd really like to meet ya She turned around like whew! You snuck up on me I didn't even see ya I go, "my apologies" I was watching you leave She said where ya car I'm the suv between the Honda and jeep I saw you and thought you're someone I've seen recently or on TV... And it occurred to me You're the woman from my dreams She said stop it I said promise She go "stop wasting my time I got somewhere else I gotta be" I say cancel She say hell no You're a nice young fellow Yet you're still just a stranger to me And I have husband Who I I'm constantly loving So to me Your silly rhymes mean nothingâ... |
YouI never gave up on you Even when you doubted yourself And no one else would help ya I stuck with you like a winter sweater in cold weather during December I know you remember Bout you I was down for whatever Then you left me...Then you left us |
