see
I saw myself through the eyes of my enemy
and i knew that I was the enemy
listen
I heard the news say tonight we gon’ lettem’ bleed
and i knew that tonight i was gonna bleed
sniff
i smelt the dust of your remedy
and i knew not even magic will medic me
pray
I asked God that you dont front on me

He said “baby I’m sorry
I swear I never knew
about the pain
the sorrow
the ache
the things I put u through”
He said “babe can I ask you
Is there a chance you still believe
in us
in this
in life
with only you and me”
He said “Hun I ain’t mean to
burn your heart this way
I’ll write
I’ll cry
I’ll do
anything to make you stay”
He said [...]

I thought I carried the most pain
When I looked at the kid beside me
80 pounds plus on his shoulders
as well as the crowd behind me
And I realized my sorrow is a thud to his bang
and my status is a bread to his crumb
No, his life wont switch with a flick of a thumb
like [...]

Even atheists celebrate the holy-days
but for the sake of pride they call it holidays
and OMG is on their tongue like the saliva on mine
I wonder if they’ll admit they believe in time
Even the worst politicians have a right side
they slept on the left fo’ so long that their right died
Killing my right to speak [...]

she wants to know why he thinks she beautiful
he calls her his purest gold
less is young few is bold
when she’s young and when she’s old
he still thinks she’s beautiful
Because she’s so confident
she wears a smile needs no complement
its like she knows where she stood
Where she stands a palm reader can’t read her hands
She’s his girl
he’s [...]

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 [...]
