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 bumbed into mutulu and

      trippin on geronimo pratt

      but stepped right over oliver

      and his crooked partner ronnie

      justice stubbed her big toe on mandela

      and liberty was misquoted by the indians

      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

      theyd take em both 2 pen optical

      and get 2 pair of glasses



When Ure Hero Falls



      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 im 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



Jada



      u r the omega of my heart

      the foundation of my conception of love

      when i think of what a black woman should be

      its 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



In The Depths of Solitude



      i 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 i be in the depths of solitude

      when there r 2 inside of me

      this duo within me causes

      the perfect oppurtunity

      2 learn and live twice as fast

      as those who accept simplicity



And 2Morrow



      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



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



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



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 ever cared.



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.



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.



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
