ELI

She contemplating life like "who's really good for me?"   She stay down on her knees so much, they bruised homie;   And she don't know her worth.   She sexing almost anything with a shirt.   No protection, she just lift up on her a skirt and let him go to work.   And when he get off, he gon be the first, and then he out the door, leaving her alone with an unsettled score... Unsatisfied,   Tears fill her lonely eyes.   The poster-child for simple,     tonight she feels unorganized.   Contemplating life like "how should i really feel inside?"   Can't really trust a man with answers, because they only wanna fill inside.   They only wanna fill inside...

Story of my life. I've been down, and I've been out. But I never been a coward. I've showed this world what I'm about. Twenty three years on me. Got my plans mapped out so clear. My momma said, "you can make it happen." It starts with God. Just pray; he's always near. Guilty of being me. Something I've  held close. True to form, True to life, true to art. True to God, whom I love the most. whom I love the most, because who am I, Without the one who gave me breathe? Grateful, Grateful. If my life stopped here, I'm ready for what's next. A grateful poet. Under pressure, & I know it. To be one of the greatest. To outmatch my favorites. To be a name on somebody's playlist. To be a name on the A list. To be the word in people's mouth. To be the name throughout their house. A household name. What a plan it seems. What a plan I have made, out of Gods calling for me.  Im Just Grateful for l...

Bullets don't carry names.   Tragedy striking, I'm going insane.   Every single day another twenty something headlines the front page.   Some that I know, some that I don't, but it's all the same.   The world needs change... But we speak on that on the off.   Like, just in case this happens again let's make "black lives matter."   But that's never to the black lives that take ours.   You're taking your own... They're taking their own.   Brothers killing brothers because his shoes the freshest.   Sisters beating sisters in high schools restrooms.   Over dudes... Is we bored? Or is we restless?   We just reckless. What make a man kill a man?   Like DVX say.   Off that liquor and that weed will make you do some crazy things.   I mean ,   It Make you do some Brazy things. My momma told me never say where i sleep.   Just keep that under the sheets.   And never drag your busines...

  i know that something is wrong here, i can feel it but no one believes me.  i know that something is strange here, i can sense it but no one believes me. We face changes everyday.  Some good, some for the worse.  Faces change everyday,  Don't know who's really with you until the hearse.  The news say, one thousand one hundred and thirty four black men die every year.  By gun shots, from weak cops that live to see black moms in tears.  And love to see the black community in fear.  But we don't fear.  We rise up.  It's reasons like this why some of my people got a 9 tucked.  Because we're fearing for our lives; Can't even walk outside or drive. We just wanna be free.... • • •  Free your mind.  Release the binds and unwind.  Break out of that mental prison;  Take the time to make the right decisions.  What do you want out of life...

Heavy is the heart that cries tears.   Of sorrow.   Heavy is the heart that's scared.   Of tomorrow .   Because it doesn't know exactly what to expect.   Heavy is the heart; Shown no respect.   I turned the news on this morning.   As if it were a surprise, another mother in mourning.   Black, mother to be exact.   Crying on TV, because she can never get her baby back.   Heavy is the heart that feels sympathy for that mother.   Heavy is the heart that's scared to comfort another.   Because it doesn't know exactly what to say in situations like these.   Heavy is the heart,   The heart of me.... -Ep

  Calculating all the loss.   Why they keep on killing us?   They don't even know what for... piecing my thoughts together. .. How can I piece my thoughts together?   When the word "peace" ain't even in my thoughts forever.   I'm just being honest.   Makes you wanna riot.   If black lives really matter;   Then why would we stay quiet?   It's an uphill battle we're steady climbing.   Respect and recognition.   Respect and recognition.   If my black skin was any indication,   I won't be forgotten. I won't be forgetting; Calculating all the loss. .. Why they keep killing us?   They don't even know what for... They don't even know.   No.   What you wanna erase us off the face of the planet? Just be honest Mr. Officer.   Them my brothers, why you hassle them?   Why you after them?   What's the crime they committed? Being committed to seeing dreams come true isn...

I Saw you at your worst and still thought you were the best. I was interested your mind. And they just wanted sex. You picked me apart for my bad habits. Like you wasn't human either, you ain't have flaws. Now my momma asking "where did that girl go?" "The one you used to call, why you don't call no mo'?" I was tripping. She was tripping momma. It's 2016 they want it different momma. Usually after the sex they go missing momma. And leave me hanging. I can get with it momma. Even if I'm single all my life. Guess I'm single all my life then. Much rather spend time by myself. Than with somebody who never wanted to be my wife then.. I'm Tryna build really. I'm 23 now you gotta keep it real with me. Where's the empathy, love, why don't you feel for me? I am not these dudes. Not into the games that they're into. But if you're in too; We probably had a good run. We probably had a good run. ...
