Hid behind jealousy
therefore I couldn’t see
while I tried to be Becky
Becky tried to be me
Gotta find selfesteem
and get out of this dream
of bulimic models… its wrong yet it seems
that with a body goes dreams
picture a bodyless spleen
on the vibe magazine
here’s our next top model and we gaze like its peace
After all this I’m told [...]

When darkness comes
and light won’t speak
play hard those drums
and here it beat
For life held none but bold defeat
as death took man and all his pride
As death took man and left no pride
we still stand strong with grief inside
And greif shall live as immortal breaths
For greif is why these drums still beat
Hold [...]

Dear Soldier,
Dont focus on the color of my skin
don’t judge me by the country I’m in
and don’t use me for the reason you sin
look at what we have in comparison
Two eyes, that I only use to see
One mouth, I only use it to breath
and my hands I use that to write this speech
cause [...]

if I can live a life worth wanting
and break away from my own bondage
if I can find the way towards heaven
I’d unite the imam, priest, and reverend
If I can only speak your language
I’d be the one you’d want to hang with
And we’ll all stand together
like a row of bright red candles
If I [...]

They wanna see you fall
wanna hear you shatter
we’re living today
and note the past don’t matter
my bills stacking high
and my check aint fatter
then it was last week
but then again that too don’t matter
Daughter on the living room floor
crying that she hungry
screaming daddy
your supposed to take that from me
your supposed to take my hunger
and feed me pride, [...]

My days are so dark they make an alley seem bright
Is it past 12 when there ain’t no stars in the night
Man has flushed all beauty, and beauty in all
Now I stand on this cliff getting ready to fall
I’m afraid of heights but I still look down
No river, no water, and no life to be [...]

The voice of my past I can still hear it
the old myth we’ll all die. I started to fear it
as I saw the end of life and how close I was near it
no nothing in this world can lift my spirit
How can I tell this man that prestige’s a lie
leaders giving orders and we [...]

They underestimate the look in my eyes
and shower me with hate, muffle my cries
than the scientists study my pride
asking each other, ‘how come?’ , ‘why?’
I wasnt born like this, this is what life made me
An animal. Immortal. too savage for that baby
And when I’m on my knees crying they say she’s gone crazy
Alone and [...]

My child raise your head high
there aint no shame in poor
when the rich would stand by
and watch you starving, crying, reaching
for something in the distance while we’re preaching,
for God to come closer/let him see things,
acts of mischiefs? We’re still breathing?
I see confusion in your eyes child
don’t be afraid your free to cry child
cry a stream [...]

I’m stuck with just one question
I see no answer near
I buck and buck while thinking
I’ll live the rest in fear
I tell you I am someone
I hide my truth inside
how am I to know when one
will just completely die
I know I’m just another
human part of this life
and breathing, living, eating
like you I complete this lie
we fight [...]
