Free Spirit I found her free Beautiful mind, Free from feed I found her free No phone for me,
When I'm around her
I find peace I found her free Put a fit together effortlessly Recycled cloth, no need for Nike She was So sweet, sweet like a peach from the tallest tree I found her free But not from weed No chains, no shackles Tackle my faults with your spirit Beautiful mind I found her free To her I was all the high she needs Help me increase my value, Make me free.
Believe it If I wrote you a poem you wouldn't read it If I told you I loved you, you wouldn't believe it If I needed your love can I seek it? The fighting and mistrust tore us apart is how you perceived it Your body is all art, I need you to reveal it My mom said I'm doing good but I don't know My day doesn't go by without doubt Too much time has gone by, to try to spark a fire But given the chance, I'll make you fall in love with me again Fine when I dream you, cause it's the only way I can see you
2nd chances 2nd chances hard to come by Young guy, just wanted to be hired Convicted, evicted Had to come in with no dignity Didn't sit well with me My manager laughed after he asked “Y'all hiring?” With his PO right behind him,Smiling Evil grin Eyes of sin I was buried in disbelief I feel your pain, though not the same I also was dismissed Like a child forgotten on Christmas I need remission Tapped into submission The block don't have paperwork They pay-to-work Cancel my past, I'm past that Don't drag that I should go back, they won't laugh I got mouths to feed Fuck being free I need money Or some will to breathe.
God My heart been broken Eyes been soaking That wasn't you,who.. Tore it through my chest Knew me the best Why confess? My face says it all Rare smiles In denial Where's god My god
Bullet The bullet took us from our home We fought with strength and our minds Until the bullet came along They gave us the bullet to fight for them We fought with the bullet And never gained strength again We took the bullet to gain power and use it Not knowing the bullets only power Was to make man rely and abuse it Now we conceal the bullet for reason to protect Take the lives of our brothers and sisters No remorse, no regret The same bullet used to control and oppress Is now the same bullet used… That plagues my people with murder and death
Eyes closed Best part of my day Is to watch you lay, Awake or asleep Still at peace When I see your energy My pain’s released You feel my stare At ease without a care, You snuggle up closer As I play with your hair Your body’s at rest, As well as your mind But our souls are conjoined Never confined I’m sorry if I wake you It wasn’t my intention, But only your resting ora Can grab my attention You glow when you sleep You glow when you rise You glow like harbor water Stunning as a sunrise
Do I Love You? When should I love you Is it too early, to say i love you Cause I want to If I say I love you there’s no turning back I’ll show you my love, you’ll appreciate that You appreciate me And that’s all I need Soon I’ll shout it from the mountains I’m working on Godspeed Godspeed cause your heaven sent, I love you so much, Take my love with no regret
