Those that know me know, I’m a different
kind of friend, I’m in your life suddenly
you don’t know where I’ve been, I drop out
then back in, live my life, new book, new
songs about my sins, I mean no
disrespect that’s just me, I am a different
kind of friend , from chocolate to ‘Dro’,
BBQ’s on the go, vibing in style sharing a
smile, I can’t let our times go, from home
to home toasting the patron, you know we
do when we do and it’s on, I hate talking
on phones, even though I got two, I never
call, seldom answer still I think of all, the
times we blew through the leaves, forgot
our troubles on the deck enjoying the
breeze, fireworks and sets, me and Rocky
how can I forget, mentally even though my
thoughts were complex, maybe it was the
Dro that made we flex, made me check, no
matter how I played I made it still I’m not
done yet, so many days wasted, or just
wasted, I made this, so close I lost a taste
for it, it ain’t over till it’s over so what am I
chasing, I’m still facing the same demons
with a twisted meaning, the same silent
cries I’m still screaming, only I’m fighting
me when I’m dreaming, or am I wide
awake, just another moment in life that’s
hard to take, this shit’s too short to wait,
even though I procrastinate I never been
fake, I’m a different kind of friend still
about stacking cake, I’ll probably die
broke cause I enjoy the squibbles I make,
I’m a different kind of friend am I to hard
to take???

Black In America
How can we forget black in America comes with
limitations, dream all you want, still feel real
hesitations, back against a wall so which way
you facing, I got no regrets, it's just black in
America comes with limitations
No matter how you choose to, you can't cruise
through, no matter how you live it you have to
give it your all, fail to stand tall quick to fall,
nothing like a slow death or just blessed from
the call, gather your speed get what you need or
life will stall, above all, no matter how big you are
now you had to start small
Ego aside you can lie about your sins pretend it's
life ills that brought you back again, it just seems
like lately the situations that face me, place me in
a state of mind, that'll make me unkind, if I said
that I didn't care I wouldn't be far from lying, so I
keep trying to be legitimate, but that all men
equal shit I ain't buying, you see reality is my
friend and we're intimate she keeps me from
frying, she keeps me on point, she keeps me
trying
Still life is known to rip apart, lesser of two evils
are matters of the heart, so where do you start
herein lies the problem, you call me slow but I'm
differently smart, the difference is indifference
when your light is dark, who decides who's the
target when I'm really living with a mark, I just let
life gas me up when I really wanted to park, or
just breeze with the doves or swim with the
sharks

What You Taught Me
I often get wrapped up in what might have been, but that's a trap
to get you backed up in, hopeless sins, make believe and a
moment of pretend, it's all just hops, like blaming my now on
having no pops, that's where I draw the line, that's where this
bullshit stops, I believe so I achieve I'm not that naive that I don't
see my faults, like not staying in school, being that street fool,
dropping my b-ball trying to be cool, my pops did none of that it
was just me living like I choose
What you taught me amounts to nothing, no discipline, never
listening always wanting, what you taught me was just a small
something, love won't conquer reality, what you taught me has
brought me nothing
Following a drunken brother who never wanted me, a sunken
destiny with just dreams in front of me, no substance just a
darken movie called suspense, my dreams needed definition it's a
cold world we're all up against, still, I don't blame you for how I
turned out, fifty years later we're still not friends so that leaves no
doubt, only one life we run through and this has come to, you and
I not even speaking, we're living like somehow all of this we'll be
repeating, or seeking some miracle for our pain, this river we're
swimming in came from our own rain
What hurts me most is no remorse, no choice, I never heard a
soothing voice, violence all around me, moms boyfriends beating
me, nothing explained do what I say cause that's how this is
gonna be, leaving me hating those that should have been guiding
me, never staying in one place cause no space was safe to me,
learning how to fight like right is might, so I strike, my wives, my
step children, I ruin lives slinging out of apartment buildings, I
guess it's my time to feel pain from the stains I grew up in, where
I've been, is asking forgiveness from a God I've curse over again,
over all of that he's proven over again, to be my one friend,
forgiven for my sins, maybe just to help someone else, when I
think about it, it has to be, he wouldn't let me kill myself

| Hello for those that are there and the few that care, ok, so much for my glass half full mentality. Looking forward to the days ahead, got some nice sounds with a new one linked here. Money is the only difference with showcasing everything now or later, so it's gotta be later. Just know that when it drops, ALL the doubters, haters and everyone that said I'm to old or don't quit your day job, faith is believing in the unseen and unknown, guess you gotta have faith to hang with me. Oh and for those that say it's just poetry and that it don't mean sh-t, or "I've done that, what you're doing is nothing what else you got", well... "uthermay uckfay ouyeah" Peace I still Love you this new song is for you. F. A. M. E. (Fuck All My Enemies) N B L Nothing But Love "L" |
Can Anybody Hear Me
I'm sitting back blazing just thinking how life plays me, just phase
me as I chase that dream, it seems, as gentle as the wind but just
like a friend life can be mean, swimming upstream, life flows
anywhere it takes me the flakes be and they can't help but show,
you ask me to help you, that I can't do so I say no, and just like the
wind you turn on me again, but because I've already been, I refuse
to pretend, and I'm not afraid to go, that's why I'm skipping to the
end, I'm trading in my blunts for blow, I'm following a brand new
trend I let go again,
Can any one hear me, life echoes as I test my trials can any one
hear, I'll be alright it's just gonna take a while, can any one hear me
I'm the opposite of leave it to beaver, fuck what Simon says and I'll
never play follow the leader, with each new day I'm blessed and I
pray, the older I get I find I need you, yet sometimes I don't believe
you, alone I'm feeling like a stray it's then that I see you, I may be
different but I'm still like most people, in good times I lock you
away, I'm down then we be okay, I ask but this time you turned
away, life's about pay to play, if I live it then you can give it, life all
cones down to faith, still I'm hitting it raw so what's one more flaw,
the real of this is all about cost, cause even if you win you lose
signals still get cross, to many wanna be a boss shot callers with a
working class floss, me I see how this be the weak will always get
tossed
Can any one hear me, life echoes as I test my trials can any one
hear, I'll be alright it's just gonna take a while, can any one hear me
Looking back at my life I blew through this like I knew I could do
this twice, but it's one and done your moon sets to expose
someone else's sun, life is more complicated then you lose I won,
some of my losses where wins I had to be stopped to begin still, I
feel it's foolish to choose this nothing but drunken sin, today I
don't fret and I only regret my daughters neglect what I wouldn't
give to do this again, even though I walk the same path it's never
gonna be the same again, that man looking at me is me I don't
have a twin, love of family or that of my friend in fact you can't
predict either cause neither is guaranteed in the end, breathing
deeply the air is thin and the ground beneath me starts to been, it
wasn't my brother who save me it was my friend
So what’s the lesson, stop fretting stop second guessing you
woke up today that was your first blessing, everything else really
don’t mean a thing just a another day in the game so stop that
needless stressing
Can any one hear me, life echoes as I test my trials can any one
hear, I'll be alright it's just gonna take a while, can any one hear me
Can any one hear me, life echoes as I test my trials can any one
hear, I'll be alright it's just gonna take a while, can any one hear me
