Shower Time

No envy in me

Go get yours… I’ll get mine

It’s clear to me… it’s meant for me

A seed of hope

Planted in a garden of despair

Pain and jealousy

Sadness running in our veins

unhealed traumas consumed us

Black people, brown people, white people why do we categorize people?

Why do we pursue our demise?

Decentralland… Manna

Mankind better be wise

Over extension of our brain

Will breakdown our brain

And that will leave us insane

We made left instead of right

It was Arts and science

It should have been arts

To feed our souls and spirits

Salute Jim Carey

I feel your pain

But healed people can heal people

We need you now

They’ll blame you for pointing out their disrespect towards you

You gotta be correct to be in my team

I’d rather stand alone than stand with fake soldiers

It’s about peace of mind

Serenity

Feeding the young ones

With love and wisdom

I got no time to compete with you

That’s a loosing formula

Meditate to free your mind

Educate to feed your mind

Elevate to feel your mind

Levitate to ease your mind

I pray to God, my strength

He come to my rescue every time

He’s the only one in charge

And only him we fear

Amen.

New Day Africa

Salute young kings & young queens

We won’t do you like they did us

We’ll leave you in a better place

Give you major keys and a platform to thrive

Don’t consume yourself with politics, fear or laziness

You’re a child of the African soil

You have the African lion heart in you

And everything is rooted from you

The crying sounds of the African drum

The restlessness of the African silence

Tell these Europeans, Chinese, Indians, Arabs and our own African traitors

To leave us alone

Pay us back for everything you owe us and leave us the fuck alone

It’s time to start over Africa

Time to get down to the root of things

With the knowledge and courage to fix them

Tell our leaders to straighten up

There’s an expiration stamp on your crown

And we’re watching, watching real close

We won’t accept apologies when it’s time to hold you accountable

All I wanted to do was make my mama proud

She never had a voice, choice or skill set to live on

Yo fellows, why do we hold our women back?

Is it because we want to hide our weakness?

Nah that’s a thing of the past

My queens are shot callers and rain makers

They see between the lines and can point out wolves in my heard of sheep

They’re the ones I celebrate my trophies with

The only ones who fill my heart with peace and love

Dedicated to all lovers out there who’ve ever experienced heartbreak (from any type of relationship). I pray you’re healed and wiser from the experience. Also celebrate because if you feel that means you’re alive and that you cared. ❤️

THE SYSTEM

My mind is restless

I cannot think straight

Why keep this systems in place?

human beings acting like demon beings.. causing deaths all over the place

From Global Warming... to global pandemics

Racial violence... Religious violence

Mass incarceration... Mass homelessness

Starvations, confusion & division

See, you gotta safe yourself from this system

Before you can save the world from this system

Because, you cannot provide resuscitation

When you’re unresponsive yourself

—

Time for soldiers to rise up

Grab your piece of the pie before they raise it up

And tell these fools “we are seeds”

We’ll be here when this is all over with

I’m unapologetically ambitious

Everything’s against us but I’m everything

They say, Innocent until proven guilty

To us, it’s guilty until proven innocent

But why are we against us

When everything else is against us?

Why do we keep spreading black trauma

When it only leads to more black trauma?

Our parents sitting home with broken dreams

Looking - while we head to the same destination

With sadness and helplessness in their eyes

Or is it weakness destined in their souls?

Little dreamers drowning in stress, dept... no hopes, no one to talk to

It’s like an imaginary fuckeup world but it’s our current reality

Quality of life is non existent

The little left is lucked in the jaws of the ones we trusted

****fuck politicians

Time out... sit your ass down

Where tf where you leading us to anyway?

Pay us for the time and our lives lost

You failed... this wasn’t your role to begin with

I found my peace... it handed me my purpose

He said fuck life

I said, nigga pull out

You can’t see the beauty and grace by being too deep it it

****nigga pull out

Look, go do it

Turn around double it

By teaching them how to do it

For a fee

If you’re scared of my rise

Then you lost to me

My blood is mixed with lion killers and giant slayers

We’ve been humble for too long, now it’s our turn... suckers

Lil bro acting restless

I told him to “go meditate”

We stigmatize mental health while we’re all fuckedup in the brain

Ain’t that unfortunate?

We got lovers

We got haters

We treat ‘em the same

But we feed off the heartbreaks of our haters

****real talk

You gotta Talk less

& Worry less

Dream more

& And work more

At the end of it all, we take trophies back to mama Africa

She needs her tears wiped

The trauma runs deep

It’s on us to heal her wounds

Orange Soda

I love orange soda

It taste like mocha

Got me feeling like playing soccer

Yo girl in ma dm like am her doctor

Apple juice be mad

But she a hater

I told ma homies, we don’t fuck with cheaters

I nail her down like a carpenter

Ass so far, I think she a stripper

They love and hate us at the same time

We complain but give them authority everytime

It’s like nigga screaming black love but will hit thick vanilla anytime

We’re living in a fucked times

Listen, they only support you when it’s beneficial to them

All the fakes screaming real like we in a mayhem

Shit so confusing like the national anthem

My bars so deep I deserve a street emblem

True love

It’s a genuine smile

A sigh of happiness

Peace

That’s true love

You won’t see it coming

But you’ll feel it’s grip

The weightlessness of its presence

Nourishes your soul & spirit

It is attention

Peaceful attentiveness

A vibration of positive energy

You’d thank life for the experience

Let’s recommit!
