African-American or Black

Are we one in the same or do the rules interchange
They point at a color and change the name
When are we one
When can we be unified
They say black like crack is wack
But we say that black is beautified
Changing us from Niggroes to Niggas to Blacks to Coloreds
But what we see in the mirror is African American sisters an brothers
Different categories and aligories
What do we learn from Our story
We can say that we this and we can say that we that
But the question really is are we AFRICAN AMERICAN or BLACK
They are not all the same
They both have different names
But if you reach inside your self
Which one do YOU claim?

The reason I write

This is why
This is why I write..
I love the way words flow
I love the unpredictability of starting a piece but not knowing where it will go
I love to say the shit that nobody listens to I love using words in particular situations from every perspective that I kno everybody can relate to..
The stories that I tell are all truth an no fiction
I'm proud of my authentication cuz everybody else has hollow words that are just words with most of the truth missin
I do what I do to stay true to myself
I make ppl swallow all their bullshit words to the point where they loosen their belts
I write so everybody knows how I feel
So they never have to ask cuz my words they understand they sit an understand that the words behind this man are the realest
The realest words I ever wrote the realest words I ever spoke when I sing I try to hit the realest notes my shit so vile even if you hate it you listen and use it like an are addicted like I'm a mountain of coke
I write cuz I can It's my true way to be free My words are crystal clear that even Stevie wonder can see
But this is why I write
I write to ease the pain
I write to stay sane I do it to stay moral an not get sucked into the negatives of having fortune an fame
I do it to be an individual an not give you the usual that you're conditioned to
But the real reason I write is cuz it makes me happy

I'm just like you

I'm looking for a love, like everyone else,
I have a cut from my first love, the same one I know you felt,
It's no different for me,
I feel pain just the same,
My heart also has a key, as well as my brain,
You walk, I walk,
You can speak and yes, I can talk,
My skin may be lighter,
My eyes may be a different color,
No matter blood in my viens or water,
You're still my brother,
Your chest rises when you breath and last time I checked mine did the same,
You want money and prestige,
I just want people to remember my name,
I worry about how I look,
I worry about how I smell,
I dream about making it big and changing the image of all young black males,
That's my motivation, my inspiration, my occupation,
But you might not have that same aspiration,
You want to live the good life,
I want to stay out of the hood,
If we were to trade places you"d probably do quite good,
Years go on and both our features have matured,
The boyish qualities we have some people still adore,
An acquired taste is what we are,
We set ourselves apart,
But when nobody's father was around you stepped up on that part,
Since I am younger I wanted to follow your path,
So I became C.E.K(seek) while you turned into Ca$h,
You walk around singing so I thought I'd do the same,
We both went away for some time but I still couldn't find my own thing,
You had your troubles,
I had my troubles too,
But seeing you mess up helped me learn what not to do,
I took your mistakes and found a way to not make them,
But that led to new problems and I wasn't ready to face them,
You been through hell and back,
I respect you for that,
And while you were locked down I was here,
And I wrote you letters to let you know I took our troubles and took responsibility for them and put them on my back,
It's always so long between the times I visit,
I know for Birthday and x-mas you blew it down,
And I could only say damn because I knew I was gon' miss it,
But I see you working hard,
And I see you making moves,
A dedication to my brother,
Since we were younger I wanted to be just like you

Dear You

I want you to kno.. 

In the winter you are my snow angel.. 

In the spring you are my freshly bloomed rose.. 

In the summer you are my shade and my tall glass of iced tea or lemonade.. 

In the fall you are my true reason to give thanks and you give a brand new meaning to seasons of love.. 

If love could see me the way that my love sees you then the definition of love would have to change its definement and point of view

 I love you

Not just now i love you for all time an all days with no conditions and in all ways my words maybe cheesey you can take them as lame but i got a place for you in my heart and thats where my love for you wil always remain

I kno that line is over used kinda cliche but those are the words that to me feel right to say

Bad dreams

Let's put a limitation on imitation

The waits are too long so be gone procrastination

Courageous curiosity leads us to follow our interest and infatuation

So many lives destroyed

Souls disappearing hearts breaking and lives forsaken

The Woman of My Dreams

She has a face that Piccaso couldn't paint,
She has a glow that no darkness can restraint,
She lives by the words "I do unto others as I want done to me"
Her brain exceeds her beauty,
But both seem to be on the highest degree,
She is easy to agree,
I declare and I decree,
I will find this girl,
For she is the woman of my dreams,
She holds values close to her heart,
Natural beauty is comfort to her,
And her brain isn't only in a book because she is also street smart,
Her love would have to come from a real place,
A place we can all see,
She has to hold a love that can glow even in the darkest place,
Her generosity along with compassion make her take action,
She goes down the tedious roads and comes out with satisfaction,
Her attractions aren't idolized attractions,
Her music is a mixture of modern and classic,
She'll read romance novels,
Some happy some tradgic,
She'll understand poetry and plays,
Rhyming couplets and watch Hamlet,
Giving into herself for the benefit of others,
Doesn't matter if she has sisters or brothers,
She'll have my arms to keep her warm and secure like covers,
I hope she loves me the way I plan to love her and with a mixture of the love I use to love others
I hope this dream is a reality,
That when I wake up and read this aloud I won't make a fool out of me,
I breath and live so this truth it must be,
I'm just in search for this girl who will complete me,
Find her so she completes me,
Oh how happy she can make me,
I hope I know when I see she,
For I can only hope that she takes me,
Breaks me, remolds me and creates me,
To be, To be,
The one and the only that can say he's happy and that he's not so lonely
But what if this dream is a phony?,
I guess we'll see what might and could possibly be,
This description of a woman so awesome and A-maz-ing,
And see if she can find me,
This is the letter going out describing the woman of my dreams

I want a love

I want a love that makes my soul shutter
I want a love that makes my heart flutter
I want a love so lovely that the thought of love it's self makes me st st stutter
I want a love that makes me feel like I'm flying high wit her on my back so that nobody comes above her
I want a love that wants me
I want a love for me that I kno is meant you an for me to believe
I want a love where I can look in your eyes and see that her an me are destined to be the only thing in this world lifetime or universe that will always be happy
I want a love that blinds but is so divine that it makes me decide to build a divide between the lines that so often I will cross I want a love that makes me not be able to stand the fact that I love her and on the same breath that I curse her I want the same love to take over an say you can't really hate her as much as you say you do cuz the things you do after you act like a fool only prove that your love for her is the love you want and the love you need
I want a love where I feel sorry that I can't love you more
I want a love where I miss you with every step an I want to breakdown when you walk out the door
I want a love where sex isn't our only prospective
I want a love where we turn into animals an our bodies become one and the only reason we won't be afraid is because we kno we are protected by the thought that we have protection
My first line my first time my first thought my first rhyme
I want a love
I want a love
I want not just a love I want the love they sing about on the radio
I want the love that makes you crazy an makes you feel like you can't be alone I
want a love where love is our only option cuz hate just incinerates makes you multiply an think you intimidate on to the next like you playin elimidate
But me...
I just want a love that ppl want to imitate
I want a love where our imagination can take us places can fill our hearts an leave no spaces
I want a love that sets me straight like tight braces
I want a love where it's just me an her against the world cuz we cut everyone off even our friends and family cuz the envy an jealousy made them start hating
I just want a love I can trust and a love that's true
I want a love..
A love between me an you
