They Don't know

No Sunshine

Ain't no Sunshine

Just red beams

And dark shadows

On the murder scene

Where broken dreams

Cut like glass

Cause little Becky

Needs a new kidney

Come follow me

If you try'na see

While I walk you though

This analogy

It's an old story

That's been told

On my block

But it's getting old

In a paradox

Full of dirty cops

And dumb brothas

Out on my block

See the thin line

Between good and bad

Is it a dirty rag

Or a dirty badge

Only truth is spoken

When a God Speaks

That's why devils choke

When they try'na eat

Off of my plate

A red velvet cake

But ain't nothing sweet

On my black face...

They Don't know

They don't know the wars we been in

The tears and lost of friends

Since our birth on this earth

Or whence the winds come again

Or the dark roads that we travel

On the front lines of battle

Where blood runs thru our city streets

And seeps down through the gravel

They don't know the pain we felt

Or our silent cries out for help

Beneath the dark and gray clouds

Where we have no one else but ourselves

They don't know the dungeons we live in

Or the pungent smell of broken men

Where shattered dreams cut like glass

They pretend but they don't understand

They don't know the trauma that we suffer

Or why our lives are so much tougher

Or why we're forced inside this box

Or the we see down here in the gutter

They don't know all the hurt that we feel

Or what it's like to see a friend killed

They don't know the thin li...

No More Tearz

No more tearz

No more lonely nights

No more crying in the ghettos

Its time we make things right

Because all this pain that we share

In this living life of sin

Has got me blowing misery and smoke God

Up in the wind

And I know I'm wrong Father

For this crazy life that I live

But in the ghetto living hard

Makes it hard to be positive

That's why every night and day

I fall to my knees and I pray

Dear God I wanna find heaven

Black Jesus show me the way

To a better time

Far from this crazy life of crime

Dear Lord I wanna change my life

So I'm turning my misery into rhymes

Now can you feel me Lord

My soul burns like a flame

And my tongue flickers like a fire

When I call out your name

And every where that I turn

I see my black people...

I wonder

Even though it hurts

Still I spread my broken wings

Using my pain as a shield

I repel the falling rains

Though the world can't understand

This dark path that I walk

Or the misery that I feel

Because my people are lost

In the wilderness

In a world so unforgiving

We've been dead for so long

That we forgot all about living

And its hopeless it seems

Because we're used to the murder scenes

Where dreams broken like glass

Slice straight through your spleen

Shaking my head from right to left

I take a deep breath of death

As I glance around the hood

Just to see what is left

Sorrow and tears ....huh

And I feel so all alone

But its cool GOD....

Because I can find my own way home

I Miss U !!!

 Like 2 doves we fell in love 

Never to love again

And if one of us should perish

How could the other breathe again

God made u the love of my life

And even my future wife

That was the dream that we shared

When we lived in paradise

You are my heart and my soul

Rocking chair or wheel chair

Until we grow old and gray haired

This life is so unfair

But you always did say

God needed his angels too

I just had no idea

You were talking about u

Now I'm broken hearted

And missing what we started

I miss you so much

And Istill love u regardless

Whether you're flesh or spirit

My love will never weary

I'm walking through the cemetery

Wondering if u hear me

Feeling heart broken and lonely

From missing my best friend

Reminiscing and drinking

With a loaded gun in my hand
