POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Last Chance
I spit it on the spot, no rehearse/
put my feelings in a terse verse/
adverse feelings, yet so diverse/
this confusion I averse/ caught in a curse/
lately life changed for the worse/
my life I need to hurriedly reverse/
before them devils start to disperse/
yo, I need to coeerce/ a change/
before I derange/it's strange/
used to be close, now we estranged/
I took it on the chin/ felt dead/
live my life with sin/ and regret/
might forgive but never forget/
this a promise not a threat/
can’t count the tears I shed/
livin’ like...

The World
Fuck being so politically correct/
always treat people with respect/
the more I think and reflect/
the deeper I sink and object/
to blindly follow this path I reject/
for God's sake/ basic rights they neglect/
they a plague/ missiles at schools they direct/
give and take/ the fools' acts take effect/
this you can't break/evil lies I detect/
time to wake/ insist on your piece of the cake/
but beware of the snake/ so beautiful but fake/
yo son, mind the mind manipulating media/
who do you think wrote the encyclopedia/
they...

Forsaken
Lost life/ lost my crown/
I am fallin' deep down/
fail to follow my deen now/
reduced to a fiend/ the kingdom fell/
betrayed by the Queen/ it all went well/
until you came clean/ I am raising hell/
adversity foreseen/ hear the knell/
overtaken by hate and distress/
shaken by fate and regress/
forsaken, break down and confess/
I guess I was just a guest/ at best/
dream of revenge and death/
for the hungry I serve food for thought/
thought you were a fool/ caught/
sins satisfy the weak/ week after week/
those who immediate...

Hopeless
My rhyme require complete concentration/
pay attention/ put great value to discretion/
caught in deeply disturbed contemplation/
I’ll give you my most inner confession/
feel like I fell victim to temptation/
like going thru a sinner’s recession/
saw the sign, my mind facing alteration/
I fear the coming of depression/
I was taken by a violent vibration/
constantly in a state of aggression/
honestly son, can’t remain patient/
seeking’ comfort in repression/
don’t forgive or forget aggravation/
listen and learn/ first lesson of the session/...

Keep your head above water
The flow flows fluently in my rhyme/
my words so beautifully intertwine/
you can hear me tear in this line/
sometimes I feel like pullin' a nine/
deep reflections, feel fear in my mind/
ill connections, my mental health decline/
lately lost grip of reality and time/
never understood the treacherous sign/
sometimes you up, sometimes you down/
enemies keep comin’ for your crown/
your success will make them drown/
lookin' back, look like a clown/
sometimes I feel like leaving town/
leaving all this shit behind/
never thought a good...

Out of nowhere
Please paint a picture/
you do songs and poetry/
hope you'll let me see/
write wise words creatively/
while studying for that degree/
raisin' your Queen single handedly/
you don't have to agree/in fact/
feel free to disagree with me/
life is difficult to foresee/
life gives no guarantee/
far from cavalierly/
my words are said sincerely/
you came out of nowhere/
now I see you everywhere/
tell me, why would I care/
cuz you seem cool and fair/
life was too much to bear/
I like your words and your flair/

My people
My rhymes contain no pretense/
hence, my lines are so intense/
don't paint with pencil but pens/
remorse and regret/ repent my sins/
since evil is where it all begins/
proudly present my pedigree/
above all I love my family/
if you don’t know, you don’t see/
desperately trying to fight or flee/
certain circumstances caused conflict/
confused cuz life appears so complex/
listen, you afraid when it is lightning/
imagine people in Gaza at night then/
thousands of warriors doing time in a cellblock/
kids suffering from shell...

Homie
Yo this for my homie/
thanks for holdin' my back/
you were the only/
dedicate to you this track/
caught me when I was lonely/
felt like I was a sad sack/
saved me from the phony/
won't be able to pay back/
hold on, is what you told me/
struggling to stay on the track/
felt frustration/ felt full of fear/
but you kept me from fallin' through/
for that I owe you/
still on the edge though/
dramatize to make it flow/
traumatized by all the woe/
all the lies will make you grow/
miles...

Confused
I like to write/ but don’t do it for the like/
lost the ability to see wrong from right/
caused the hostility I feel toward life/
furious, fumblin’ through the night/
curious, will I ever find the light/
clouds in sight/ feel outright contrite/
couldn't care critics claim my words incite/
darkness approaches my mind to benight/
never took time to think it through/
lost hope/I took a toke/
took a turn for the worse/
saw my dreams burn and burst/
like a fiend’s thirst/
friends and...

Treason
Money never made men much richer/
see your signature through that picture/
made my mind a mixture/
of dark dreams/ homeless fiends/
sleepless nights are fixture/
listen, last lecture on life lessons/
doubt you catch the essence/
do you sense my presence/
yo a few rules you can't violate/
so let me set the record straight/
I love those you love to hate/
hip hop heavy weight/
wonder who will wait, at the gate/
can't carry the weight/
your world I will annihilate/ I won't hesitate/
if you cross me/...

Astray
Yo I'm tired of writin' the same rhymes/
can't keep repeating the same lines/
calm like a cat with nine lives/
life is full of lies/only few realize/
we all waiting for demise/ drama and lies/
can you hear the concealed cries/
look back at life and revise/
remember always to stay wise/
success befalls him who tries/
the world is full of wolves in disguise/
liars and snitches I despise/
look for light/ past the snake eyes/
trials and tribulations/ time to rise/
shit took me by surprise/
now I am writin' for the Nobel Prize/...

Listen
Since you can sense my listlessness/
I would like you to listen to this/
you the one I really miss/ Miss/
so don't miss the message/
I done sinned and been senseless/
now I feel fine/ put my soul in a line/
I'm cold when I rhyme/ forget about place and time/
facin' labefaction/ runnin' from temptation/
I ain't patient/ no time for hesitation/
I lately lost love/ life looks like lassitude/
no one showing gratitude/
why ya'll so full of hate/
I never chose success/ it was my fate/
trying to trap me and break my faith/ ...
