Black Lives

Black lives with a president full of black lies
we vote in donald trump thats bad news
like a card game trump we reached to the
end of the stump no longer growing like
trees more like falling to our knees or falling
leafs stressed so we blowing trees youth please
go out and make a change it aint a game lives matter
poems full like a bottle of overflowing emotions man i
miss obama he was sturn you know sort of like yo mama
on you going to school even when you act a fool eating
healthy foods fats im stating facts it dont matter if its 
fat man or dat man at the end of the day its who we pick
and choose trump is who i refuse hes fraudulent hes a fail
hes a frail this aint no fairy tail black lives theres a thin line
between greats and snakes we wont find peace unless its 
justice we seek black lives like the jim crow law until changed
we get beat by the feds with crow bars when will it stop we
lost michael brown,eric garner,trayvon martin,freddie gray,
philando castile, these are just an exampile(example) not
even old enough to make it to 90 like castro black lives 
lead by that role i pray our brothers rise black lives

Rich and Poor

I'd rather be rich in my head than rich in my pockets.
In order to be rich in my pockets i have to be rich in my head.
Thoughts of gold never selling my soul. My perception of the concept
That with a rich heart i'll go far. Nevertheless wearing my heart on my sleeve;
people please Ill never fall to my knees coping a plea. No hope is like a bum with
no soap. Eventually it'll lead to doing dirt poorly hurt. You cant afford no food
or new shoes, but the rich man with a rich heart,mind , and pocket can. Yeah
he's the man Like a Lydian. Without it your doubted its ruthless but never useless.
Use it right use it wise in life its a top possession prize. For rich or for poor
i'll always want more.

Money

Money is a universal language. They say money talk bull crap walks
even the def hears it. You gotta pay the price to live nice.
Money can turn people cold as ice. I like my pockets fatter then Kelly price.
Success is my friend, i learned to fight with my pen. Words close as kin
the more money i earn the more money i yearn,thus i can't be broke.No 
money life is a joke. You cant take care of your folks.I love to count 
that cheese yellow yolks. You know what they say another day another dollar holla. You could bet your bottom dollar. Money makes the world go round.
Build a mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door. To get what you give sometimes you gotta cash in your chips. Don't bit the hand that feeds you money i need you.

Mice and Men

Its easier to build broken children than to repair broken men.
Man that was cold how George killed Lennie in the end.
If i had a friend that dreamed of owning a ranch, curly's the one
who would've died at the camp in the end. The chances that George
confesses to slim if i were in his shoes, are slim to none. All it takes is one candy to rotten that tooth. Carlson's gun is something George just had to shoot.

Gold Diggers

Should I see whats in his pants or check out his size.
Does he appeal to my eyes.
Can i tell how much money he
makes from the kind of car that he drives.
If I give him the puss and leave would he 
break down and cry. I'm just an angel in disguise.
Do i feel the rhythm do i feel the rhyme. Does he only 
date dimes. Should I date men one at a time. Is he the 
type to buy Mckiddies apple pies. I don't want to lead
him on and feed him pure lies. I'm just a gold digger 
a gold digger in disguise to whom shall I lie.

Double Up

O soldier comrade of mine in war doesn't pay the voices any mind incessantly.
Avoid post-traumatic stress disorder stay subordinate stay ordinant.
When it's time to shoot it's off at your face Duke.
O soldier comrade of mine in war doesn't pay the voices any mind incessantly.
So much war in the middle east you must remain a militant beast.
From coast to coast that good old navy boat.
O soldier comrade of mine in war doesn't pay the voices any mind incessantly.
O soldier comrade of mine in war doesn't pay the voices any mind incessantly.

Art

Whether it's liberal or 3 dimensional it finesses my situation
bursting with creativity boosting my intellectual 
I can see myself as an individual my mind is on
an all time high sensual life imitates it when i'm
down it mitigates it the pain gets washed away 
like rain barely scratching beneath the surface
art is what earth is god handcrafted and made 
this type of art could never be man made it's 
tenfold and slayed I respect the pastels even 
the paint I hope it never gets faint art is my
world sort of like my favorite girl art is what
I love we fit together like a hand in a glove 
I'll put nothing else above.

Why

Why must the wind blow.
Why must the sand get wet.
Why must the trees turn green.
Why must we chase our dreams.
Why must the baby cry.
Why must the devil lie.
Why must we blink our eye.
Why must mankind die.
Why must we break good ties .
Why must we endure the pain of our everyday lives.
Why must the doves fly.
Why when mad must we act obscene. 
Why must the end cusp.
Why must we trust.

Dreams

IF your mind could conceive it your body can achieve it.
As long as you believe it in arms length you can reach it.
Never give up on your dreams there's no I in team.
Dreams sweet dreams without them where would we be.
When i sleep at night my dreams take flight.
When i sleep at night my dreams are bright.
For one to dream its only right.
Only nightmares gives me fright.
But my dreams keep me safe at night
My clothes are out on my bed dight.
I dream one day we as a nation become united not divided.
Be careful of who your among-st.
Dreams that come true brings money in clumps.
On the way to every mountain top there's always a bump.

Music

They say you don't use it you lose it.
My ears hungry for music.It's in my DNA.
I think about it all day. 
I remember as a child watching the record play.
or visiting Broadway, and sight & sound.
Music takes away my pain.
Like trees when the need rain, its my drug of choice like Novocaine.
Music keeps me entertained from the melodies, beats, snares, and drums.
The power of music is like the impact from a gun. It alters you it changes you.
whether your feeling yellow or blue. When people commit crimes or lose it they
blame gangsta music. Thus accuse it, but its not the music turns out you just abused it. What a sweet joy we get from music.
