A child is born it's a celebration
2 parents cherishing their creation
another mother patiently waiting
for her son to come home from school
but he never made it, randomly hit
by a bullet no warning
make me think about that song
we was singing every morning
"Lift every voice and sing"
they letting hammers ring
right around the corner from the
news crew camera team
if it happens here they sorta make it relevant
cause this the residents of the 44th president
it really make me wonder why ya'll(why)
why that lil girl have to die ya'll(why)
why that lil boy have to die ya'll
he ain't do nothin, she ain't do nothin
he ain't do nothin, she ain't do nothin
We need some healing
an outlet to release these feelings
some outreach to help cease these killings
some mentors who can reach these children
and we building
we need some healing
an outlet to release these feelings
some outreach to help cease these killings
all hands on deck thats willing
and we building
A rose grew from a crack in the cement
and even blossomed when
they thought it was't even meant
another shorty critically riddled with led
and somehow pulled through when they
thought he should've been dead
I'm giving flowers to the living
if you're noticing
and those whose ones I send my deepest condolences
through any occurrence we still flourishing
like when a mother gives child
that good nourishment
I see the beauty in the process
of an ugly try
cause a moth go through the
same thing as a butterfly
I breathe with the ghetto
although we get doubted
I believe in the ghetto
I bleed with the ghetto
in every casualty in the ghetto
God bless from here to
overseas in the ghetto
I'm no longer just thinking bout me
in the ghetto cause it's just us and
we in the ghetto
We need some healing
an outlet to release these feelings
some outreach to help cease these killings
some mentors who can reach these children
and we building
we need some healing
an outlet to release these feelings
some outreach to help cease these killings
all hands on deck thats willing
and we building

False sense of winning

I'm like today's era Radio Raheem
love hate fist rings, love reigns supreme
the yin & yang in came the bridge in between
the hearts of men arguing who gone claim king
Top 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, do absolutely nothing and you still make history
Too much credit given where it's not really deserved
no credit given where it's absolutely earned
Dollars passed around no knowledge passed around
everybody's in a rush the worlds a lot faster now
Even the fans got A.D.D. drop a classic next day like what you did lately
Microwave society, nobody’s chefing
nobody got the answers still nobody questions
All these music challenges on these social sites
nobody making challenging music in real life
(Like for real, what is Ya'll doing out here man, I see everybody following these trends & following these trends & steady following another trend & all the such n such challenge man we all lost in reality out here man. And we think we doing good, but we out her taking L’s man, we taking big L’s man, we need to get it right)
We are out here losing with a false sense of winning
debating who the best is a story that’s never ending
Debating Jay or Nas, or Kendrick or Cole,
Kobe, Jordan, Lebron when all of them boys cold (R.I.P. Kobe)
Like it can't be 1,2 or 3
of us out here winning simultaneously
See we compete often
steady feeding the bellies of those that eat off it
See we compete but really where’s the competition
where’s all the story tellers telling compositions
See I don’t wanna(Wanna for want to) listen
to what they feeding us in repetition
so I see this music as a weapon listen
We use to use it on the system til(Til for until) they flipped it on us
like a mickey in a drink, they slipped it on us
And we done swallowed it whole
killing the soul now today cats don’t even know the history on it
Born out the struggle of civil rights
it is not something you do it’s a way of life
And rapping is just a fraction to it
I done laid down a plan to put some action to it
Like bring it back you can’t bring back
what never left like you can’t wake up everyone who slept
Some people just will never get it talking …....
you know the story everyone's a critic

Namaste, today we gone be dealing
with the heart chakra
them curve balls
life throw can be a hard shocker
I truly hope you find some healing
you'll never know the evils
another person is dealing
with, using my wit to peep it
most try to keep it a secret
to no avail in this world
cause people be tweaking
and can snap at any second
exactly why personal space
should be respected
you'll never know the thoughts
people let sink in, or when your
strong friend going off the deep end
even I had a moment the other day
I felt suicidal something I thought
I would never say
that's when I found heaven
in my child's laughter
never sound solace in a church
with a loud pastor
I read the books took what I can use G
and discarded everything else
cause it confused me
When we should pray or meditate
we a self-medicate and self degregate
the positives we should regulate
when we should separate
from keeping toxic company
I somehow be looking
for that company to comfort me(like)
seeking validation from
people secretly hating
smiling the whole time
they be patiently waiting
for you to take a L
and they be needed in the end
they wanna see you doing good
just not better than them
if you need to be alone
take a break and pause
breathe and get in tune
with the universal laws
sage your heart not only your house
crack a window or a door
let that energy out
let ya mind run free
quit running ya mouth
you'll find peace in being still
that's without a doubt
My writings are therapeutic
note only for the papes or sake
of just doing music
this positive propaganda
inspirational slander
questions asked last after
leading with the answers
Jeopardy, this is lyrical telepathy
so if you're hearing this you're virtually
taking some steps with me
I stay G with the knowledge
nourishment for ya soul
encouragement for ya wallet
ya thoughts trump all that ya pockets hold
that fire on you better
stop, drop, and roll
figuratively and literally
so if you're hearing this
a ally you can consider me
let ya good thoughts become reality
and speak blessings over the
casualty and tragedy
