Stand up and stand tall
Or hunch over and be ready to fall
I’m a revolutionary always ready to war
Because war is always knocking at the door
As long as the rich are the ones to declare it
They will instigate and push it forward
But they themselves wont come near it
Morally corrupt
You must be willing to adapt and then quickly must adjust
Change up your mental pattern
Don’t let your thought process to rust
You can never refute the truth
Cause I’m the pudding proof
Taste it and don’t waste it
Make haste kid
Distastefully and wastefully deciding to do not a thing
But expect glory and praise
When you haven’t earned a thing
Forget street cred
I prefer grammatical heat instead
Rhythmic lyrics never spewing a gimmick
But speaking from my spirit
Hoping and praying that when I say it, people hear it
Come to me to hear it
Come near it
Endear it
I take the steering of my soul and I quickly do steer it
I have made peace with past sins
Lost mad friends
Disclosed much of my past
But I was stronger so I chose to outlast
My mind is lightning fast
My vocals are louder than thunder
Bringing fear to your soul
Ripping your soul asunder
Because I say whatever is intellectually clever
I am always ready and prepared to sever
Whether or never
You choose to listen and understand
I don’t speak down or up
My feet stay grounded
Spit truths and how I was able to find it
Hard work and tenacious voracity
Maintain mental equilibrium and serious tenacity
My mind goes beyond wormholes and dimensional astrophysicality
Minding my own business while sharing the business of my father
Who talks through my seamless mentality
But I admit He dwells in the ether
I wouldn’t want to be you either
I was once that crude dude
But I became a sage who was shrewd
Lost my lasciviousness and desire to be lewd
I wanted to stop being the one to mentally pollute
So I studied everything under the sun to be astute
For I then came to recognize I was once dressed in fine expensive fabrics
Causing headaches and street havoc
My pain only persisted and had insisted on causing internal traffic
But the enlightened me had cleared the way
Made a new path
The old friends would mock and laugh
But then they suffered the consequences of my aftermath
Now they all jailed
Hoping for bail
Talking this and that
When I’m out here STILL not talking smack
Never had a need to be selling dope, coke or crack
For my mind was lifted
Raised above the circumstances for which tried to have me deterred
With a greater entity I chose to have concurred
Thirty five years later and my past is a blur
Now I speak brimstone to burn your skin and flesh
Force you to realize the mess
You created by spending too much time smoking that cess
Now you stuck in a rut
Cursing what the “smuckâ€!
Well I got a smirk on my face
Because I am happy in my skin and in my place
I don’t run in place
I was granted a vision and Gods grace to run the race
And I had an ample taste
So I chose a higher road
More narrow indeed
But it became my tourniquet and stopped the flow, when I would bleed
But I still bleed except it’s now done through my words
With a precise conjunction of nouns, pronouns, adjectives and verbs
Smartly
Never hardly
Systematically organized to reveal another part of me
Not that I’m better but to show off
Not to look at others and blow off
But to show that ‘if I did it’ and I’m a testimonial person
I chose to use my free will to speak articulate
And not be dispersing a million types of cursing
I would rather solve problems than to sink my head into the problem itself
I threw the old heart out and took the new one God had placed aside from that which he placed on the golden shelf
And if I could supersede and transcend
Then you too can overlook your flaws
And become a stronger woman or man and take time & space to bend!
I admit, I used to feel like an elf
Because my mentality was smaller than others
Now I am equal to kin
Happy in my skin
Working hard and doing it with vim
Knowing although not a saint
I will continue to live a life of lyrical sin
But I now have control over the vibe I go after
Go ahead snicker to yourself on the side lines
Fill your emptiness with laughter
All the while I continue my flying
Until the day my breath is shortened and I feel my flesh decaying and dieing
I do not have anymore nor do I ever want to have regrets again
Reminding me of things I should have done
If I was only willing to be trying
So I will spit viciously
Rambunctiously lifting you with my lyrics see
Because my spirit is a part of my lyrics
So when you hear it
You are feeling my essence
And I am proud to know that someone read, heard, or felt my presence
Because from yesteryear until infinity
I will do what I gotta do with no hesitation
Because I’ve surpassed fear and filled my mind with illumination!
