I Have A Story To Be Told

Man of Many Principles

I am the sentence to your say

The principles of today

The old and modernized age

I am centuries ago and the present decade

Im the revolution of this new year

The change that made lame great

And cool kids look weird

Never have I been a strait "A" kid

but when i get my mind right

Best believe I'll be on principles list

Listen here again

Those who dont now who I am

Im a stranger

To unknown eyes

The danger of an innocent child

Mold that  shines from the inside out

I am

Dirt that supports a pretty girl

The brown skin of my not yet published works

I am a gun

Shooting towards my goals

With a full clip loaded and pointed towards a life

I wana live not end

And if anyone can hear me

Pull the the trigger and close slowly

The red curtains of my perfomance

Because what I am unfortuna...

Pretty People

Yesterday and the day before, everywhere i turned there you were.

Hurt my neck and my good looks, trying to encourage the pretty people.

perfect as they were, on every street corner and creeping where we cant see them...

I even heard of sleeping outside, beating on another life, another breath, another person,

Only thing worse is hiding ur beauty to look like someone elses.

Walked terrain
on this earth is pretty people

I saw this woman waving her number.
Where is her beautiful?

I saw this man holding up a sign.
where is dignity?, where is his beautiful?

I saw a child beat another.
like he had no love, i had this urge to yell..

Earth!! where is your beautiful.?
Everyday i see good in him, potential in her, i hear about a cute new born.

And everytime i think to myself...How long will it take us to learn, to know, to believe..??
We are Pretty People

Remember When

As i sit with the few friends

i maintained over the years

we reminisce

we look back

at the all crazy times we had

my boy says

ay bro u remember that fight

i say ay yo

that was a hell of a night

then we get to singing

all the songs that went hard

then we get to arguing

cause overtime

stars fall

my bros chick then starts the sentence

ay yall

do yall remember when?

we go back and forth all day

with the memories

one of my favorites i"d have to say is

that one day when

we all sat down

to reminisce
 

The Professor

My dad used to call me the absent minded professor

Til i was 17 i responded with

I got a brain inside my head sir

He would never answer

Which was cool with me

Until I turned 18

And I was off of speed

Yo thats when it hit me

I was very absent minded

My thoughts jumbled all the time

And if u asked me to describe a past time

Id forget and tell u remind me

I cant remember that time

And so after eight years of him calling me the absent minded professor

I finally perfected my comback answer

In the form of a question i said

Yea my thoughts are jumbled

But can i ask u a question

After admitting my head is cluttered

Wouldnt u admit tho

Aint I one smart mother***er?

I Have A Story To Be Told

.Today i awoke the same time from yesterday

From the same sounds of my newborn child

And its hard when you're raising a child

And you're still a child

As it's hard fitting a mans pair of boots

When you still fit your adolescent shoes comfortable

I have a story to be told

I've been struggling with health problems

The solution is simple

Though temptation is the obstacle

Realistically put

Smoking has got the best of me

Realistically put

I will quit

Smoking will not get the best of me

As a olympic hurdler hops over obstacles

Bumps in the road

Will not get the best of me

I have a story to be told

And my story goes on and on

There will be plenty poetry to pen and post

My hourglass aint out yet

Bookmark each chapter

As I live til my book ends

.

Still I Rise

I blast those badtracks

To drown the thoughts in my head

To make me forget

What challenges i face ahead

Im moving soon

Thats music to the haters

But to family its lame

But thats ok cause few support me

I know they love me

I just dont have a good history with this support thing

Not a thing will alter my decision

Nothing will slow my roll

No thing will put my shine on hold

Im finna grind for gold

Go get mine til time is toast

Til a dime is followed by three more O's

Forshow thats when i will return home

From my journey

When my key ring has car keys

Attached to the chain

When i leave

Its all for opportunity

To reach new heights

To reach new highs

It wont be long before i pull up

In my new ride

And even after all that

Still I will rise

Amazing, Simply Amazing

Im awaiting the day til im a phenomenom

Til im a celebrity

I can buy anything without looking at the cost

It wont be long and the span not too far

I know im finna make it

I was born a star

Im just waiting

Very patiently

Anticipating that day when

Im amazing

Simply Amazing

.

Aint We Fated

This one is to state some of my tough and

Emotional issues

Since you came into my life

Great challenges and changes came with

I dont think you was the cause and effect

I was fated

And of course I knew

Destiny would work its way in

But I thought i would have no room

For someone like you

We was close

And even though they say

You shouldn't bite the hand that

Feeds you

You chewed the fingers off the chef

And smiled as yu devoured his flesh

Oh but dont think its killing me

By any means

That day only our relationship met death

I was sitting and thinking of you

And some of the visual memories hit me

We used to be so cool with each other

Remember that day i told you

I wanted to be macho and yu told me i can be better?

Something like a boxer or a proffessional wrestler?

Those were the good da...

Sensations of you

She boosts my confidence constantly

Hotter than fried chicken

As its leaving the kitchen

She's got it going on

She's awesome

She's flawless

And best friends with stardom

She walks like a five star model

Her dimeanor is beast mode

Her level is unbeatable

We sit evenly on sea-saws

When my cell phone is off

I sit in the house all day

Waiting til she calls

Us together is balling

On fire

A sight to to behold

We light up every scene we step on

Lighters

We are dynamic

I dont understand it

Every struggle seems to simply seek a truce

When we are together we arent one

Unlike the common theme we are two

Satins temptation sits very patiently

Waiting for my love to leave

Her grace is greater than great

Its a barrier that that haters cant even break

The only cheating betwee...

Shadow Poet

I am Dark

Like the shadows that crawl up alley walls

Or spots out of sight where the sun dont shine

I am Melidious

Like nursery rhymes

Or a song that is sung just right and never leaves your mind

I am Strong

My voice can size down a mountain

Or assemble an army to fight with

I am that Kid

With a soldiers set of eyes that has seen so much

With a heart of gold that has been broke before but still loves

I am Tough

Like a cat that falls from a two story building

Or a cancer survivor who greets death but steadily out lives it

I am an Artist

I make things im good better yet great

Thats why everyday I create to escape

I am Afraid

I fear not this earth as it turns but my God

I would've lived a life of worth as of today if my heart stopped

I am Worthy

To speak my mind and excel in activity

No one can set a l...
