Heaven 1st Verse

Could of thought i went to heaven,
when i was just eleven,
yet i woke up from a dream
then i seen 9-11,(ungh)
There was gum in my chair,
my mother was there,
she's banging on the door,
"son, get ready for war..."(whoo)
I admit i wasn't ready for war,
but under certain circumstances, it was deadly for sure
& for those who got advances, the medley was pure
& for those who wanted answers, it was never the cure,(No)
To try & search for the truth, it wasn't necessary
1st time i stepped in the booth, it felt hereditary
only knew a few who stayed out the view of a cemetery
so i had a clue that i was due, and this was temporary
I'd always knew that i could get my chance
i've been under so much pressure,
i made a diamond with my hands,
Damn,
Lord Jesus, he sees us,
can't wait to hit the stage
and make all you believers...believe us...

From The Outside, Looking In ( Non-Rhmying)

I am looking within, to see what i am on the ouside/
trying to envision someone who i could be/
unraveling the story that has been written,
the idenitity of this voice, and from whence it came from/
invisible to opinion, seen as an illusion/
accepted by the unknown, concieved by the pain, rage, and grief/
many of those claim i'm foolish, and to take such a risk is worthless/
questioning my compleletion, while their life is also just as imperfect/
unable to explore possiblities, unwilling to imagine/
blind to knowledge, hidden within their own limits/
lost on their roads and pathways, drowning out sound they refuse to listen to/
criticizing the logic of choice, failing to trust the power of faith/
not embracing the lessons learned along the way/
but with inexperience, i own courage/
when faced with questions, i continue to find answers/
you see barriers, i see tests/
and i trust that one day, my journey will help guide others in this world/
those who honor life/
and the history within it/

Power Trip

Nowadays, I've been on my old shit,
Thinking bout work & my old bitch,
Try and it give it all, like I owe shit
B4 the I see a door and it close quick,
I just wanna get it 'fore the shit is gone,
these people don't really see the shit I'm on,
im outta school, now my pockets empty,
I told my bros that I would buy a Bentley,
I told my fam ima do something,
But I'm still here, like its all nothing,
this shit been on my mind while I'm on the grind,
Cause everyday I'm not there, is lost time,
look, I understand that your kinda far, see,
Listen destiny, I'm so sorry,
I wish my answer could be definite,
But honestly, all id say probably...pardon me...

Blame Me

my heart is falling more into music
im just tryin more ways to use it
cause my talents, people tryin to abuse it
so when opportunity shows its face
its hard to change pace and choose quick
im just lookin for the right race
and hope the shoes fit
say my grace and try not lose it
i dont want my god giving talents go to waste
i wanna have faith, and not think my life was shit
no matter how many times i show my ass or my dick
or how many times i killed bitches like mike vick
but take a seat, heres the plot twist
this is just a preview
to a show u should not miss
the call me felix the cat
cause i always got a bag of tricks
always on the scene
i was always in the mix
negative publicity for being spotted pics
when i passed on chicks
for court side seats at the knicks
2 for me, none for you
like a pack of twix
i just wish
that when i share
people act like they care
not look and stare
i dont think its fair
they dont take me serious
cause im cute like a teddy bear
that was a pass for some ass
just my student fare
i use my head instead
so in bed, it was do or dare
now, word in the street is ima freak
but they feel me when i speak
i guess that means im deep
some say im special
but few say im unique
i know my past hasnt been sweet
but if i stick wit the beat
my future could be neat
so i wouldnt be cheap
i could stop using the cheat sheet
take the doors off like a wrangler jeep
or burn the house down like the miami heat
i cant belive making a comeback is still such huge feat
i live on the hilltop
im just tryin to reach my peak
acomplish my highs and avoid my lows
i've paid my dues, took my my blows
blood, sweat, and tears
yet nothing but pride shows

This Could be You (Take Two)

Please excuse me if front
cause most girls like to stunt
Always rockin a fake nigga
can't let a real nigga bump
Its cool, im on the rise
Statiscally speaking, Im better than these guys
But don't be surprised
By the amount of chicks
Who want my d***
to co-star in a flick
Like I lived in Van Nuys
Now that's big
But I fig
U should believe w/ ur own eyes
don't want you to be decieved by bulls*** rumors and lies
Man, when u gonna understand Nobody can't do it like I can
Don't really give a f***,
I just really give a damn
Just see
Frm my p.o.v.
Relize im c.o.d.
u should listen to me
Im cash on delivery
Open for a shot
Yet no1 is assisting me
I've heard u been missing me
Now im doin gd
All I hear in the hood
Is u gotta be s***** me
What in the hell u do differently
Im doin wats necessary
I just do it proficiently
Check the stats, I got the plaques
To prove my consistently
So stop dissin me
Like scooby doo
Get a clue
And this could be you...

Just Maybe

Just Maybe,
I'll get up and take a stand
Speak up and raise my hand
Cause if I take my seat
I'll just be conceding defeat
So instead of plan A
I'll stick with plan B
Just maybe
When they look at me on campus
Chicks stare like a preying mantis
And they see a hoodlum, a hustler, a thug
Why don't they ever think about the tracks I've dug
Or how I've gotten this far
Its hurts to be a falling star
No, I don't have a free pass
I deserve one, cause I struggle just to get class
You wanna talk about the future
But you still worry about my past
I've been through hell
Just cause many thought the fire wouldn't last
Just maybe
If I got out the hood
Stop inspiring rebellion and speak of the good
But this is where people see me as one who is misunderstood
and where the next generation wants to do it better than I could
And who are we to judge that none of them should?
Just maybe
We as people deserve to get a better education
Without ramification, contamination, separation
Reinvent ourselves, a little reanimation
With dedication, inspiration, cooperation
So one day we can all reach the same destination
Just maybe
If the greedy could stop acting fake
And the poor can live without hate
young women who are bent out of shape
young men who have to live life behind a gate
Follow my lead, I see straight and think great
For God's sake...
give me a chance b4 its too late
And maybe, just maybe, it won't be a mistake....

Untitled ( Where Hate Lives)

I wondered why everyday do we struggle
or why does a team go into a huddle
to change what we did before
to burst the other teams bubble
not too aggressive, not too subtle
this system isn't built for success
always ends up bad, always leads to stress
stays on our mind, days without rest
but i feel different, i choose to protest
we shouldn't have to clean up another persons mess
Its easy to blame and point fingers
its hard to deal with pain, and jealousy that lingers
but as i attempt to understand
why people give and take with the same hand
tell you to make a plan
that ends up buried in the sand
how our parents lack trust
its like their love turned to lust
at birth we were gold, now we are old
it has turned to rust
their hopes of become the greatest
have died, cause we are the latest
i hope this isn't the reason that they hate us
they feel left out
cause we like to be social, free and about
and when we come home
we argue, we fight, we shout
what are we to do
if our parents want to be us too???
do we choose to let it go
hide the sadness, the madness
for the sake of a show
i don't know...
to the parents
to the kids
those who already know what it is
set a better example
maybe we wouldn't all feelthis
let home be a place for the heart
and not where hate lives.....

Fireside Chat

Good evening, America as you welcome me into your home
place of residence, and please excuse my tone,
I will not leave, take a break, or answer the phone
for the next hour
I will leave my position of power
I will tell nothing but the truth, nothing sweet, nothing sour
Our would as we know is about to change
for the religious bluffs, his doesn't sound strange
and for the new generation, this isn't out of your range
Who? What? When? How? Why?
"sorry Mr. President but if you speak on it won't they have your eggs fries?"
Damn...but I'm still the one with the upper hand
And I need our youth to stand
cause America is not built for the black man
or woman, cause their wouldn't be life without a 9 month plan
but i digress, from the mistakes that put us in this mess
our young men in jail
and young women desperate to lift up their dress
lies throughout the press
all of this is why our country is in distress
so this is my solution, to protect the next stage of evolution
lets start by cleaning up pollution,
stand up for freedom, the new revolution
as people we have right to what is good
and no one should grow up living in the hood
stop spending money on things
that we would only have if we were kings
you know what I mean,
all of those diamonds we know isn't clean
all of this money the government hasn't seen
and these fast cars we can only drive in our dream
lets live life simple and contemporary
and build skills that are hereditary
like Malcolm X, "By any means necessary"
"Mr. President, wrap it up...."
I'd like to thank you for your ears
to inspire the hopeful, and erase some of your fears
and to you all that the future is here
but I can only tell you this one fact
because i don't want a bullet in my back
I don't know where he is at
...but his name is 1024...
"And this concludes the Fireside Chat"
