You can’t get far if you gotta heart full of pride and bars
It’s an urban war outside you would think ain’t nobody wise
I was close to becomin a suicidal junky Lord answer my prays I just need a little money
When you from the hood summer days are less sunny
And if the bills don’t get paid the day is fin to be grumpy
The devil want to keep me down and just stomp me
So when I persevere I hold those moments near

Persevere...the potential to elevate and escape
Unfortunate circumstance of the masses.
Televisions become the new school,leaving man and child brainless fools...
too much, not enough, one may go crazy...
Mixed signals subliminal wicked riddles--It takes a strong soul to turn a blind
eye.
Move on, press on, you can escape
No matter the heartbreak.
Raised in the badlands yet, mom and dad had a plan.
Sacrifice, saved my life....now I pass on the torch to my 3 soldiers and God willing when they're older
They'll leave a legacy born out of love.
Out of love is what my solid heart is searching for
A day when I can say I don’t have to search for another girl not ever more
And love stains continue to bleed out pain
It’s a tough task, see I never won this game
If I did my mind would be less infected by all things words cause events that comes with relationships
I’m not movin with patience,
Because the love for my mama want to see her in a better place quick
I’m talkin hood livin, the oven don’t work but I could name some things that’s worst
Call me cursed my father left me to grow from the dirt, but I’m hardly ever gettin nourished by the earth
Somebody spell decease and put that curse on me
Because the only thing this world beggin for is the worst of me
But God’s love is keeping away the mean mugs
So my attitude is good I never shrug for things I want
We all have wants that’s a fact
The challenge becomes finding patience and self restraint
In order to keep from looking back…..
Learned a long time ago that ignorance has no race…
It merely exemplifies the need for education
Not education from books you see
The education one seeks to fulfill a soulful need
We fear what we don’t understand
Pretty sad that we as a HUMAN race hate our fellow
Man…
Time keeps movin and this life is a hustle
Yet it depends on your mental lens whether you rise up or crumble
Many a day I wanted to give up….yet my three boys keep me poised
And my faith somehow reminds me of the not so long ago when I was
Mentally broken…
Didn’t know who I was lost my poetic flow
But I left the devil’s representative where he stood…woke up finally
And began to see the lies which meant me and mine absolutely no good.
Now I’m stronger
I walk taller
My flow filters freely as if baptismal water
Much smarter
Somewhat afraid to love harder
I begin with baby steps ….heal
Yes heal and healthily reflect
Respect myself always
No longer living with regret
My soul’s counter part is out there I do believe
I live my life and with an uncanny sight I’m confident he will SEE me
Confidence is something that I don’t bleed
So whether it’s at full capacity or on a low level it’s still inside of me
I miss the old day’s when I ran the streets as a young g teen
But looking forward there’s a lot of people who’s dependin on me
Knowledge I seek whether it’s from school books or if I find in the streets
I’mma play game I’m too intelligent to let the white man’s system play me
I’mma grown man settin trends now people wanna pay me
But it ain’t come before the prays I’m raising myself without no tears
And I’m blitzin everything I do so I’m absolute without no fear
And though my emotions can get deeper than an ocean
I bring myself back atop, my desires for the things I want to accomplish I won’t stop
And I’m smarter than the average nigga no white tees, polos I had to get my mind right quicker
Cuz I be a foo to let success miss me, diss me all you want but my enemies won’t get to me
But make me work a little harder, think a little longer, which will just make this young nigga that much stronger
The blueprint of strength is deeply imbedded in our DNA..
While Strange Fruit was swinging from the trees of the sweltering Mississippi
My great-great grandmother Moriah picked cotton as a slave
Merely illustrations that the bloodshed of our ancestors paved the way
Today's a new day...its a different battle
The white man doesn't have to lift a finger
My beautiful black brothers now grab the ammo
Load 'em up Pop! Pop!
Pop!Pop!
Sounds of those shots are deafening as the life
of yet another soul bleeds away within the modern concrete
jungle of fear
I ask the question does anyone really care?
I do
But as a woman playing mom and dad what's one to do?
Prayer only takes you so far...God helps those who help themselves
I'm saddened that my oldest son could be a potential target at the age of 12.
The problems in our community run very deep
Unfortunately many are just looking out for number one.
Until we acknowledge what WE must do for ourselves:
Shells, nickel bags and condom wrappers will continue to decorate our children's playgrounds.
Meanwhile the system capitalizes off the incarcerated population.
Each one MUST teach one indeed--May not be able to change this entire world but
I'm going to start with me
Transformation is necessary and key
When you begin to reject prideful sins
The haters will without a doubt appear
And as long as they do what they always do
Their hateful actions become my fuel
to K.I.M. Keep It Movin in the right direction
Towards positive solutions
Teaching my boys self love, that doesn't involve a gun
Or pimp posturing and disrespecting women for fun
I lead by example and they will see
Their mommy worked hard to provide them with all she could
A loving home despite the absence of Dad...
God willing their generation
will break this vicious cycle at last.
My mind cycle often drifts me to the past
But it’s hardly about love or hate but upgrading my thought process of thinking in an intelligent way
I never thought I be a businessman how quickly times change
And people believe in me are they for real or are they deceiving me
I believe the answer’s true because the speak is unlike me something to self-believe
And I’m not feeling honored but for the first time in my life I really believe I can achieve
All my soul dreams and they don’t come from smoking weed
Or drinking which is all I do, God’s gettin so close how can I lose
I’m actually feeling bulletproof I’m drawing up everything I want to do
So falling by the waist side won’t happen my true potential done tabbed in
I woke up from a horrible train of thought I’m awakened
And I won’t forsaken the visions I want actions taken in
I’m talkin real life so I’m never ever fakin
I’ve loaded myself with determination and I didn’t need my mama to make it
I got a brother and sister who’s doing really bad but I’m so focused right now I ain’t got time to be feelin really sad
So when I create a positive chain reaction I’mma be feelin really glad
Nearer than what i used to believe
nearer than what i used to see
I persevere so that i can be
the biggest, the suavest, the very best of me
People gonna hate, they just can't accept my fate
Im destined for greatness, their destined to be payless
I mean get paid less, cause their life is just a mess
too much distress and now all they wanna do is detest
Im too good to stoop down so low
cause the devil tries to stomp me out
be he can't stamp out my glow
my flow's spitfire, And I aint got nowhere else to go
but up, up into the sky,
like i've been hittin that weed, and now im so fly
My visions are sky high, and my life is a far cry
from the childish hood ways where the summer days are less sunny
and lookin back at my worries, now they seem funny
cause now things look good, im rollin in the money
and things are all good in my hood
