And Tomorrow
Today is filled with anger fueled with hidden hate scared of being outcast afraid of common fate Today is built on tragedies which no one wants 2 face nightmares 2 humanities and morally disgraced Tonight is filled with rage violence in the air children bred with ruthlessness because no one at home cares Tonight I lay my head down but the pressure never stops knawing at my sanity content when I am dropped But 2morrow I c change a chance 2 build a new Built on spirit intent of Heart and ideals based on truth and tomorrow I wake with second wind and strong because of pride 2 know I fought with all my heart 2 keep my dream alive.

Ambition Over Adversity
Take one's adversity Learn from their misfortune Learn from their pain Believe in something Believe in yourself Turn adversity into ambition Now blossom into wealth.

I Cry
Sometimes when I'm alone I Cry, Cause I am on my own. The tears I cry are bitter and warm. They flow with life but take no form I Cry because my heart is torn. I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confiding, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. The world moves fast and it would rather pass by. Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes... I Cry and no one cares about why.

In The Event Of My Demise
In the event of my Demise when my heart can beat no more I Hope I Die For A Principle or A Belief that I had Lived 4 I will die Before My Time Because I feel the shadow's Depth so much I wanted 2 accomplish before I reached my Death I have come 2 grips with the possibility and wiped the last tear from My eyes I Loved All who were Positive In the event of my Demise.

The Rose That Grew From Concrete
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.

Fallen Star
They could never understand what u set out 2 do instead they chose 2 ridicule u when u got weak they loved the sight of your dimming and flickering starlight How could they understand what was so intricate 2 be loved by so many, so intimate they wanted 2 c your lifeless corpse this way u could not alter the course of ignorance that they have set 2 make my people forget what they have done for much 2 long 2 just forget and carry on I had loved u forever because of who u r and now I mourn our fallen star.

A Young Heart With An Old Soul
A young heart with an old soul How can there be peace? How can I be in the depths of solitude When there are two inside of me? This duo in me causes the perfect opportunity To learn and live twice as fast As those who accept simplicity...

Can You See The Pride In The Panther
Can You See the Pride In the Panther As he grows in splendor and grace Topling obstacles placed in the way, of the progression of his race. Can You See the Pride In the Panther as she nurtures her young all alone The seed must grow regardless of the fact that it is planted in stone. Can You See the Pride In the Panthers as they unify as one. The flower blooms with brilliance, and outshines the rays of the sun.

Liberty Needs Glasses
Excuse me but lady liberty needs glasses And so does Mrs Justice by her side Both the broads R blind as bats Stumbling Thru the system Justice Bumped into Mutulu and Trippin' on Geronimo Pratt But stepped right over Oliver And his crooked partner Ronnie Justice stubbed her big toe the invians Slavery was a learning phase Forgotten with out a verdict While Justice is on a rampage 4 endangered Surviving Black males I mean really if anyone really valued life And cared about the masses They's take'em both 2 pen optical And get 2 pair of Glasses.

My Hero (My Mother)
When your hero falls from grace All Fairy tales R uncovered Myths exposed and pain magnified The greatest pain discovered U Taught me 2 be strong But I'm confused 2 C U so weak U Said never 2 give Up And it hurts 2 C U welcome defeat When ure Hero falls so do the stars And so does the perception of tomorrow Without my hero there is only Me alone 2 deal with my sorrow Your heart ceases 2 work And your soul is not happy at all What R U expected 2 do When ure only Hero falls.

In The Depths Of Solitude
Eye, Exist in the Depths of Solitude Pondering my true goal Trying 2 find peace of mind And still preserve my soul Constantly yearning 2 be accepted And from all receive respect Never comprising but sometimes risky And that is my only regret A young heart with an old soul How can there be Peace How can eye be in the depths of Solitude When there R 2 inside of me This Duo within me causes The perfect opportunity 2 learn and live twice as fast As those who accept simplicity.

JADA (4 Jada)
U R the omega of my heart The foundation 4 my conception of Love When I think of what a Black woman should be It's U that I first think of U will never fully understand How deeply my Heart Feels 4 U I worry that we'll grow apart And I'll end up losing u U bring me 2 climax without sex and u do it all with regal grace U R my Heart in Human Form A Friend I could never replace. 

Father 
Father forgive us for living Why are all my homies stuck in prison? Barely breathing, believing that this world is a prison It's like a ghetto we can never leave A broken rose giving bloom through the cracks of the concrete So many things for us to see Things to be Our history so full of tragedy and misery To all the homies who never made it home The dead peers I shed tattooed tears for when I'm alone Picture us inside a ghetto heaven A place to rest finding peace through this land of stress In my chest I feel pain come in sudden storms A life full of rain in this game watch for land thorns Our unborn never got to grow, never got to see what's next In this world filled with countless threats I beg God to find a way for our ghetto kids to breath Show a sign make us all believe
