Taking Ova

 I know a couple of people who ain’t here no more

Before I dig into this topic ion fear no joker

Don’t care about your bank or who you around

Before you talk about us you better fear our crown

When you grow up in the world with skin this dark

They don’t see you as “the people”

They don’t see you as an equal

They see you as an illegal

Illegal to the race of the people

But there’s no competition when we in the race

We soar above the people

That’s the end of the race

My people are tired of crying same story different face

We tired of trials same jury different case

It’s hard in America when there’s guns in your face by the ones who chase the black race

We got goals like yall

Mind controlling like yall

Untitled Decisions

Lord this is my last trip please forgive me for my sins

The sins of which I hold in my den

That has already grabbed me up by my chin

As if it was a sharks’ fin.

I’d rather die before I fake it

I just don’t seem to fit in

Fit in this lie perceived by the world

This embodiment that I always seem to twirl

Twirl like a twister and I am at the end of its curl

He always told me

Play your cards right you have jokers in your deck

But I always seemed to jet

Even when I get lost in the outlet

I flew like an Eagle with wings of a humming bird

And then I found my flirt.

I was in love yes indeed

I even tried to lead

Lead because we had the potential to be monumental

But his love was lethal

He always says I have you but you can’t hav...

Mother's Fate

Spare elegance in ice-but what is gone is gone.
I only imagine his glittering wings,
That’s the only thing.
He was in all my dreams.

She creates the fire in my eyes,
A fox in her fox fur,
But the deep part of my house is the darkness,
But the only thing dark is the farness.
The farness of which his love is in a harness.
The darkness of how deep my love was and the darkest.
Why?
Why did you hang me in the closet?

Mark the sea changes in our lives.
The only time things changed is when you came by.
Tell me has our love died?

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill.
Why did you start singing were you thrilled?
Our relationship had been killed.
Killed by my embarrassment and our relationship kills.

But you kept drilling me,
Drilling me to be someone I’m not.
To depend on something, I should n...

Tick Tick Tick

The lies

Tick Tick Tick

Your love

Tick Tick Tick

Till the end

This wicked lie you have me keep

I think of it as a tick…then a leap

It is just something I could not repeat

But when the cat is out of the bag

There will be a big relief

How could you keep it up?

Was it for the sake of your love?

What about your lover?

When he finds out there will be no more lies to keep under.

He should have been known

Now don’t blame me when your all alone

Because im going to be gone

But honestly I can’t keep this up for long

Im pretty sure he will be pissed

Just think about all the nights…oops it almost slipped

So how many do you have again?

Life for me has never been rich

My life somewhere has always started in a ditch

A ditch that could make you get stiches if you glitch

I’ve always wanted my life to be like the people on television

But I’ve always been told it wasn’t my decision

I was told I was too black and it would cause a collision

I was told even the littlest drop of black would cause friction

I wasn’t woke by that time

I didn’t realize being as brown as I was cost dimes on top of dimes

I didn’t realize color sparked a sound in white folks head and it was a chime

I go to school white

I learned you can’t get away from white

Even if you try to take flight

Even if you take a flight to Africa you could see how our race dies.

No I don’t have to w...
