A Change Is Coming

This title, A Change Is Comin
Is being commenmerated by a little known artist, to which this tune is still hummin
Amongst the stars, Last year's generation, which has been passed on
To our Generation X, as we shout "Freedom and Justice" to capital hill amassed

Been kicked around, raped and pillaged since pre slavery
For over a millenia, some stood up in bravery
"Let Freedom Ring!" has became our battle cry
The saga continues, as our predecessors continue to wage war and die

Valiantly, with the oppressor's foot on our neck
"I can't breath!" for almost nine minutes, made others hit the deck
God's Word does say, "There's nothing new under the sun",
A grim reminder, that something had to be done

Hailing from Selma, all the way to LA
Strong people testified, hurting from the fray
"Freedom and Justice", a s...

Where Did All The Black Men Go?

Where did all the Black men go?
Did they go to a show? Maybe out on parole?
Probably on a midnight stroll, while on deathrole?
I guess it's safe to say, that we lost our soul

Soul power came and went, through a balled-up fist
From a breakthrough to a breakdown, our race has gone amissed
From a brutha to a , it has became the norm
A mixed-up image has taken us off course by storm

From crappy entertainers, to sleezy athletes
who blindly walk into a scandal, which leaves them destitute on the streets
Next comes the half-hearted, and selfish politician
They say, "I wanna help!", contradiction Black abolition

The million man March, what did that prove?
That we're a funky nation under a groove?
Let me tell ya'll something, it didn't do squat!
That's why for every 45 seconds or less, a black man gets shot!

Does Black Lives today truly ...

The Beast Within

Growl !!!!
The Beast Within is on the prowl
Seeking, stalking, ever observant of its prey
 The urban city is his hunting ground, his geographical foray

Free in the wild, Where he reigns as king
Terror and chaos is what he'll bring
Body relaxed, though ready to spring into action
Teeth bared, claws unsheathed for traction

But somewhere, somehow, the beast within went soft
Then he got captured, while lounging in his loft
Awed in shock, he stares blankly while being carried away
To a strange land caged in a cell made of steel, dirty, and clay

Dreams and nightmares of his past life affect his mood,
While being fed slop, he slowly becoming unglued
Scheming, planning a way to escape,
At any cost, so he scratches the ground using defunct claws to scrape

His captors approach him, thoughts of torture and to maim,
The Beast Within fents timidly to his corner, wait...

Never Give Up

To Never Give Up, is a phrase worth an earful
But can it be real in a world so tearful?
Chaos, broken dreams, misery, even death?
It can drive a man insane, till the last breath

On one hand, it CAN lead to insanity
performing the same task, with no plan to be
researched, evaluated, leaving the same ol bad result
extreme  embarrasment, is just an injurious insult

On the other hand, it might be alright
doing the same thing, from day to night, 
becoming second nature, opening up new doors
of opppurtunity and success, to even up all the scores

 Far as i'm concerned, I'm doing the unbelievable
To stay focused, until it becomes achievable
No matter what the world says, "that it can't be done."
The work is hard, so why not have some fun

The Jack of all trades, the master of my craft
I'm doing it well, so i'll have the last laugh
Gaining experie...

Is Reality a Blessing or a curse?

Everyday i wake up, i need to ask myself first
Is reality in general a blessing or a curse?
As i look out my window, and/or watch the news
i find myself hitting my knees to pray, before i catch the blues

I see the weather changing, leaving behind beautiful skies
While disease and racial prejudices run wild, that the world denies
Giving a false sense of security to any living entity, spritual and/or otherwise
Causing many to adapt, while some wear this apparition like a disguise

Deep within, i failed to realize
That within life itself, under a veil of observation, is a mixture of truth and lies
Is it a time and/or a season? or is it just a temporary custom?
Without an answer, i decided not to trust them

Before long though, i became intoxicated
Within the vortex of my reasoning,  while my soul's getting innoculated
With love, mixed with hate, incomprehensive, but welcomi...

A Home Of My Own

Days gone by, I've heard many a true, but strange cliche
How i wonder if people even pay attention to anything they say
I wonder if people even understand the meaning behind any phrase
or statement, leaving others in a somewhat confused daze

Let me introduce this phrase, "A home of my own."
and kick some science while I'm in the zone
painting a picture to bring clarity
so that it can be shared with charity

All my life, I lived with other people
enduring the b.s. so i crawled to a steeple
and cried aloud for a peace of mind
to someday leave all these troubles behind

Started sitting in jail because i got mad
Pent-up frustration was all i had
in and out of institutions almost became my lifestyle
another statistic to be placed away as a file

During my suffering on the by and by 
God Almighty had indeed heard my cry
while friends and family spat i...

On My Own!

Stay the Course

How shall I begin, in this world filled with sin
going back and forth to ask God for forgiveness now and then
Already knowing that i'm going to do it again and again
But God knows my heart, judging me with a stern grin

Telling me: "My Son, what is wrong with you?"
"I fully understand all that you're going through."
"The path that I chose for you is truly the right direction"
"So why keep stumbling on the same stone, knowing you need correction?"

I looked up in bewilderment, crying:"what else should i do?"
So i ask for help, still not having a clue
on what lies before me, as these walls come closing in
with shadowy figures now snarling at me, like I'm Daniel trapped in the Lion's den

all of a sudden a light shines in front of me
Is it sign? Better than that am i free?
question after question arose, struggling amidst this confusion
Till God touched my head to quell this demo...

Mother Nature and Father Time

Mother Nature tends to sooth and relieve
the constant blemishes of man who believe
that failure's life threatening, and the world's at an end
Really, it's only but a lesson that only she can send

Mother Nature, how do you teach flowers to stay so bright
in dark places within man's heart where there's no light
Is it through our feelings which brings about change?
Or is it through our sins that makes our goodness seem strange?

Then here comes Father Time, patient as ever
fast as lightning, but slow as a turtle, whcih seems quite clever
That all of man's desires can be fulfilled
But as children we wail until the gift has been billed

When it's received though, man jumps in delight
not knowing that there's more within sight
So in turn Father Time teaches man a great, unforgetable virtue
That nothing in this world was ever meant to hurt you

Each lesson taught is meant for...

Hard Work, Hard Work

There's a four letter word that all can relate to
It's easier said than done, but it's something everybody has to do
It can make a drastic difference from being on top or feeling like a jerk
That word for today is Hard Work, Hard Work

In order to be an intellectual, then go to school
make sure to use everything there as a useful tool
That's where doctors, lawyers, and politicians come from
They're the 47 percent who makes the largest income

In order to be an athlete, then go to a gym
Work out that sweat and get grimmy while singing to a funky hymn
That's where track stars, football and basketball players come from
Taking on the world, standing tall saying "Get Some!"

In order to be a movie star, then learn how to act
be better than average, instead of just kicking back
That's what Hollywood do, Help people get rich to buy those fancy cars
Instead of "being all you can be" w...
