So let's get straight to it<br />
Melanin makes em' scared<br />
Ain't no great debate to it<br />
<br />
If lobsters are free to roam<br />
Then why are crabs in a barell<br />
If this is the land of the free<br />
Then why the crabs can't travel<br />
<br />
Conditioning makes us think<br />
That the crabs are in the wrong<br />
But wouldn't your lungs get tired<br />
If you were singing the same song<br />
<br />
Wouldn't your feet get sore<br />
From you running the same race<br />
Wouldn't you have issues with self-love<br />
If you were taught to hate your own race<br />
<br />
Wouldn't you be at the Doctor's<br />
Asking for drugs cuz you're depressed<br />
Not realizing the pressure that you feel<br />
Is from your soul being supressed<br />
<br />
Wouldn't you pick up the bottle<br />
If your daddy was never there<br />
Cuz he got 20 years for a first-time Misdemeanor<br />
And the Judge & Prosecutor didn't care<br />
<br />
And let us not forget<br />
It 's not an excuse but it is sad<br />
That he didn't know the power of who he was<br />
Let alone the power in being a dad<br />
<br />
Wouldn't you be a little angry<br />
If the media portrays you as a thug<br />
When you're just on a long misguided path<br />
Searching for love, nurture, and a hug<br />
<br />
Wouldn't you be a little lost<br />
If your school system never engaged you<br />
And your mom worked two jobs<br />
So God knows who really raised you<br />
And you never learned emotional control<br />
So anything that strikes a chord will enrage you<br />
And if you ever went to college<br />
That student loan debt has enslaved you<br />
Then they taught you their religion<br />
Not telling you awareness of self is what will save you<br />
Then tell you about slavery<br />
But not about the path your ancestors have paved you<br />
If they threw you in the deep-end<br />
Then tossed in a raft and said they saved you<br />
If you learned you're a pawn in their game<br />
And the only reason they're winning is cuz they played you<br />
<br />
If they hire you to work a job<br />
Like they are doing you a favor<br />
As if they didn't build a financial blueprint<br />
From years of your forced free labor<br />
<br />
If they portrayed you as a savage<br />
Then convinced the world you are a monkey<br />
And the same place they bogart resources from<br />
They convince you is a third-world country<br />
<br />
If there is a reoccurring epidemic<br />
That is so common but is sick<br />
White women are taught to hate black culture<br />
But boy do they love them some black dick<br />
<br />
If they sign you up for the Rat Race<br />
But never teach you how to run<br />
And if your pants are kinda sagging<br />
They'll convince themselves you have a gun<br />
<br />
If you have a baby really young<br />
They'll look in your face, call you a whore<br />
But make government assistance super enticing<br />
Just to entice you to have some more<br />
<br />
If they don't teach you true mathematics<br />
But beat it into you that you are <i>less than</i><br />
Then when you <i>add it</i> all up<br />
You realize that you are blessed, man <br />
<br />
Cuz they can put you in a barell<br />
But can never kill your soul<br />
While they'd love to keep you broken<br />
Looking inside will make you whole<br />
<br />
Never let em' clip your wings<br />
Never apologize or say 'I'm sorry'<br />
For doing what you were created to do<br />
Exceling in your God Body<br />
<br />

I love me, who cares about the rest's love<br />
All around, North, East, South, West love<br />
Smile through it all, that Colgate and that Crest love<br />
<br />
It's hilarious, they call you cocky when you love yourself<br />
They'd rather you love some, but not all of yourself<br />
They'd rather you beat yourself up and then shove yourself<br />
Tell em' it doesn't fit, they must acquit, OJ glove yourself<br />
<br />
It's not negative to look in the mirror and think <i>"God damn"</i><br />
You've connected to your beauty through your scars, I mean God damn<br />
Your imperfections make you perfecto, sir or madame<br />
Overcoming pain and guilt make you a masterpiece, I mean God damn<br />
<br />
People will try to dim your light and tell you it's not kosher<br />
To be drunk in love with yourself when you tell em' you're not sober<br />
Your confidence drives them crazy but you're not their chauffeur <br />
You've got higher ranking cards but baby this is not poker<br />
<br />
You've spent so many years engulfed in self-hate<br />
Hating your body, hating your life, thinking you're not great<br />
Thinking you weren't good enough and that was not innate<br />
Someone put that all on you, transferring their dead weight<br />
<br />
So that hate was permeating from the inside<br />
"You're not worth it" is what negative self-talk implied<br />
Your thoughts were dark and all of your actions complied<br />
You were going through the motions taking absolutely nothing in stride<br />
<br />
But then you had this bright moment, a coming to Jesus<br />
A moment when pigs start to fly and hell finally freezes <br />
A moment when you realize no one can actually love you to pieces<br />
Until to start to love yourself, a come into your genius<br />
<br />
You start to abandon insecurity and examine your heart<br />
You start to realize you are worth it, bullseye from the dart<br />
You start to embrace your quirkiness as succulent art<br />
You understand that every dumb choice is what made you smart<br />
<br />
Now when you wear confidence there will be haters and doubters<br />
Who liked you better when you were negative, so they hate louder and louder<br />
They try to keep you on their level so they throw you depressants and downers<br />
But you cut that cord and they are pissed you took back all of your power<br />
<br />
<br />
Even though love binds the universe, human love is subjective<br />
Everyone's definition of what love is, is from their own perspective<br />
Judging whether you're worth love by someone's actions would be ineffective <br />
It has to be judged by your own energy in order for it to be not defective <br />
<br />
Even still, being loved by anyone should not define you<br />
How much you learn to love yourself will actually align you<br />
Then you can feel infinite love from God, that's the Divine you<br />
Anyone who doesn't understand this whole poem will confine you<br />
Say hello to 'aggressive you' and goodbye to 'benign you'<br />
Have fun connecting to your purpose that was assigned you<br />
Try not to be offended next time someone declines you <br />
You validate yourself no one else needs to cosign you<br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They won't appreciate me in gray</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They'll say I'm unorthodox and rebellious</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And from my culture I'll stray away</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But the only way to be connected</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Is to live outside of the box</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To put a square inside of a circle</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To be less deceiving than a fox</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In order for me to keep it real</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I cannot focus on the labels</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Or on what everyone wants me to be</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What educational credential I bring to the table</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The what I do and who I work for</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know I'll probably catch some flack</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because how I will indefinitely impact the world</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Supersedes the name brands on my back</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I'm connected to Mother Nature</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I can hear what God will say to me</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">While all the judgmental folks in church</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tell me that they will pray for me</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The older folks think they know best</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They say, "I've lived so I am wise"</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And after all of their pain and battles</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Who they really are is still disguised</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I can see their aged discomfort</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The walking on egg shells so they don't crack</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yes they've been through more than me</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So respect I'll give them that</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But I won't tolerate their disrespect</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The looking down at little me</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm smart and tough, don't get it fucked up</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And don't you ever belittle me</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My thoughts are valid</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As is my talent</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My personality strikes a balance</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My vision is clear</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My arrival is near</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I whole-heartedly accept the challenge</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I recognize my inner greatness</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And all the faults that were added</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So do not be mad at me </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because I realize my awesomeness </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And you haven't</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In your world when you add</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Two plus two will equal four</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But in my world when I add</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Two plus two will equal more</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And five plus five will not be ten</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And three times five is not fifeteen</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I always learn from the universe</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Not a television programmed machine</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So go ahead put me in a box</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But don't get mad when I don't stay</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because I am comfortable in my skin</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Being a colorful shade of gray</span><br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I put a lot of pressure on myself</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To push harder to be successful</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Because there are kids who go to bed hungry</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And adults living stressful</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
And with a government who doesn't care</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">About the poor or the homeless</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Or the well being of the people</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I find that I roam less</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
Enough with the clubs </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And the meaningless conversations</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The living without purpose</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And going to congregations</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
Enough with following the rules</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And the hell with regulations</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The hell with repercussions</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I’m going after reparations</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
I don’t care about being invited</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I’ll need no invitation</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I care more about my legacy</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Than I ever will my reputation</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
With the passing of Dr. Angelou</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And my dear uncle Brian</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I was scared for this world</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I cannot even deny it</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
Some kindred souls gone</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">While evil still exists</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I wonder how love can take over</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Where evil still persists</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
And with every turn and twist</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I fight hard to be ignited</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">When evil happens to me</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With my purpose I’m reunited</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sometimes I write or smoke weed</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Or have a drink but don’t sleep</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Cuz my thoughts keep me up</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">They are intense and they’re deep</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
Like, <i>“my cousins need me more</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Have some friends that are poor</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I rise above it all,</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Then face-plant onto the floor?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I reach my full potential?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I ever help enough?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Is it okay to show emotion?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Cuz I’m tired of being tough</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will having money ever change me?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will God still love me?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I ever become weak</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And let this cold world shove me?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I ever lose my zen?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I lose some close kin?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I fall in love again</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And have better luck with men?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will these tears ever fall?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Can I walk before I crawl?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Can I only have a little,</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Or can I handle it all?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will my strong voice kill me</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Like Martin Luther & Malcolm X</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Or will I fall into the trap</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Like Whitney Houston & DMX</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I be misunderstood like Kanye?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Or praised like O Winfrey</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I become obsessed with fairy tales</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Pixar and Disney</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will corporations diss me?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>All because they can’t change me</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will people accept the “outgoing me”</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And then reject the “strange me”</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Because I am who I am</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And I’m not who they think</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>I<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> have </span>insecur<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ities</span> just like them</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>But still they believe I’m so unique</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And they believe that I’m so strong</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>They think I have it figured out</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>They think I am so conservative and proper</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And that I can’t get “nigga’d out”</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will my friends turn their backs</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>When the checks start coming in</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I listen to society?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Or make decisions from within</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will my family tree crumble</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Or can I somehow save it</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>It’s been years without the drugs</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>So why do I sometimes crave it?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>My conscious thinking is frustrating</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Because there are not many like me</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Most times I don’t care what people think</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>But sometimes I do wonder if they like me</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>All because they are not like me</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Or do they like me for the benefits</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Do they keep me in their life</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>So that one-day they can benefit</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>I wanna be creative like Dr. Suess</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And make a few billion buck bucks</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And not give two fucks</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>A red fuck or a blue fuck</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>By all faith and no luck</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Letting the water roll off like duck ducks</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And keep pushing forward</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And never claiming to be stuck stuck</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>I wanna get it all right</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>But I’ll accept getting it wrong</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>As long as I have a voice that still sings</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Cuz caged birds still have a song</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>You should see the looks I get</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Cuz I don’t play a lot of tricks</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And I mention that I’m an author</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And that I’m the age of twenty-six</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>They don’t believe me, they don’t believe it</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>I tell them to manifest it and achieve it</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>I have some truth to help them out</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>But I’m young so they won’t receive it</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>My views are somehow considered radical</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Because religion just doesn't seem practical</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And my thoughts about politics</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Well, funny, and definitely laughable</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And my thoughts about this country</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Is that we aren't far from being collapsible</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Money is always in the equation</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>So people problems become mathematical</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Young, black, and confident</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>What a White American nightmare</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>They’ll probably wanna send me on a permanent vacation</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Or a brief one on their timeshare</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>I think I can save this world</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Create opportunities and some jobs</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>And keep being a forward thinker</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Like the late great Steve Jobs</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Will I spend all of my money</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Because I hear the pain ain't cheap”</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
And then around three in the morning</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Is when I finally get some sleep</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
I put a lot of pressure on myself</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To push harder to be successful</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Because there are kids who go to bed hungry</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And adults living stressful</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
And with a government who doesn't care</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">About the homeless or the poor</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Maybe I can pick up some of the slack</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Before it’s my time to step outside of the door</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And Heaven is just a place where your consciousness is roomy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And Jesus Christ is just a guy to model ourselves after</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And God is just an energy that prompts altruism and laughter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the Bible is just a book with a plot and a story</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And where Boy Meets World - Eve is Topanga and Adam is Cory </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And being nailed to the cross is a symbol of sacrifice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Which is what we'll need to overcome in order to reach paradise</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the parting of the red sea was imagery for us to see</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That anything is truly possible if we use our thoughts to be free</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And turning water into wine was to increase our belief in miracles</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the Holy Ghost was for us to understand that we are really spiritual</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the 12 disciples signify how our lives can have clutter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Because not everyone we believe in deserves to be at the last supper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And sometimes life will feel flooded with lots of water and some sharks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But if we listen to our intuition we can reconstruct Noah's Ark</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And what if Isiah and Jeremiah were not just servants and prophets</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What if we are messengers too, with a message that'll make us a profit</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the story of the people of Nazareth turning their backs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Are the same people in our life whom we continue to cut some slack</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the old testament is the part of our life where we can't walk on our own</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the new testament is where we are accountable, in control and have grown</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And that there is nothing at all wrong with having faith of a mustard seed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As long as we don't use our belief to stoke our egos and muster greed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And religion was created as a formality to cling to</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the scriptures were created as inspiration to sing to</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And Jesus was created so we understand what Kings do</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And Adam and Eve were created so we understand what flings do</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the betrayal of the disciples was to learn how trust can sting you</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And politics are intertwined so society can left or right wing you</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And being faithful to the seasons will summer, fall, winter, then spring you</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And listening to your heart is listening to what God will bring you</span><br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I'm not hiding it but they can't see</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">It's like they are blinded by the fluff</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">And by what society wants them to be</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">It's like I have a secret that no one knows</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I tried to tell them but they didn't hear</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">It's like the words went up into their head</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">And then in and out of both of their ears</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I wrote a book so that they could smell</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">It's like they read the entire book</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">And on my age is where they dwell</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I ramp up my energy so they can feel</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">It's like they are so caught up with their past</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">And they haven't figured out yet how to heal</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I am a silly intellectual so they can taste</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">It's like they are super confused by me</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">And think my youth is going to waste</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">It's like I have a secret that no one knows </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">I've been trying to tell them that I'm coming</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">It's like they ignore all of my growth</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">And can't smile at who I am becoming</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">But maybe it is not my business to announce</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Where I'll be and what I'll do</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">They will either accept it or denounce</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">I guess it will just remain a secret</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Until the universe finally explodes</span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To find your own style or to teach what you were taught</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How much does it cost to form your own opinion?</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How much does it cost to find and depict the details?</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As opposed to giving the media your mind and allowing them to derail</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How much does it cost to live a life hypocritical?</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Not very analytical but far more political</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Living a life of stagnation, being influenced by men in black tuxes</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Who have power because of their assets and don't know what giving two f**ks is</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And you know what sucks is... their control keeps you where 'stuck' is</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Keeps in you in a mental state of emergency like a stop, drop, roll, and tuck is</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The evil in this world wants you to stay subliminally conformative</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To believe in what they say in order to keep you less informative</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To be depressed every time you see something sad pop up on the news</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The evil in this world wants you to believe in their critiques</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To think that you are not worth it and that you are less unique</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The evil in this world will always remain powerless</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you don't allow it to knock you down; world trade tower-less</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Only you can control your thoughts, your attitude, your actions</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Only you can control your happiness, your energy, your reactions</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Only you can control what you let in, what you birth, contraction</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Only you can control what adds up and what you take away, subtraction</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">No one could destroy our bond</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Nothing could destroy my faith</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">And I don't need a magic wand</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">For things to work out in my favor</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">And I don't ask for many favors</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">But because he has been my savior</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Then I will walk in God's favor</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">His love is all the love I need</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Everyone else's love is great</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">But he is the only one I turn to</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">When life gets tough and I need an escape</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">My faith will never expire</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Because I believe in faith, faithfully</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">And I put my faith in God</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Because he has always put his faith in me</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe for us to learn</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe just for a blessing</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe for outer layers to shed</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe to appreciate the now</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe for our journey ahead</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe we are lonely </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe we need a friend</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe, just maybe</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">For our life's ingredients to blend</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe we'll figure it out</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">Maybe we never will</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;">It’s been forever and some days</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">I prayed for you all the time</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Hoping that one day you’d change your ways</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">What is it that I did wrong?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">I went to school and got straight A’s</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">I took care of mom when you were gone</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">All I ever wanted was some praise</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">All I ever wanted was your love</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">All I ever wanted was a father</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">All I ever needed was for you to be there</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">But now, please don’t bother</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Because I’ve made it this far without you</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">There is no doubt I still have a void</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">You were supposed to be a role model</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">And you have no idea what you destroyed</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">You have destroyed my self-esteem</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">You have destroyed so much more</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">But I have regained my control </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">So destroy me, you will no more</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">The damage has already been done</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">And I made it through as a result</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">But no matter how old that I get</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Remember I’m the child, you’re the adult</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><u>To Mother and Child (from Father)</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I’m so taken aback by these words</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I did the best that I could</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Well, with what I had</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I think you both misunderstood</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">See I was raised by a single mother</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">My dad left me when I was young</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">He would promise to come and get me</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">So his words is where I clung</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">He was never a role model to me</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Where was I supposed to learn?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I never wanted to be like him</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Where did I make the wrong turn?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">The truth is that I was scared</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">So I ran because it was painless</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I never wanted it to be like this</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I wish that I could make your pain less</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">But please use me as a teacher</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I have taught you to be strong</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I have taught you to overcome</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I can’t admit that I was wrong</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">You both may think I’m a coward</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">But I am still a man with pride</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">If you are ever feeling down</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Read Maya Angelou’s <i>Still I Rise</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Because life will throw you lemons</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Making lemonade is up to you</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Whether you forgive me is the same</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">That is totally up to you too</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><u>To All (from Me)</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><br /></span></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Single mom and fatherless child</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Consider it a blessing in disguise</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Because you can learn from every time</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">That your eyes and heart cries</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">You both should forgive him</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">I’m glad that you wrote these letters</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">I want you to know that he was right</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">If he knew how, he would have done better</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Just know that it’s not your fault</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">His absenteeism has to do with him</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Making lemonade <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is</i>
still your choice</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">You can sink or you can swim</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">To the father that is missing out</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Still I Rise</i> is a great poem</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">But how can you go through life</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">When you have a child and do not know them?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Having no father is not an excuse</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">But what it does is help to explain</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Why you stepped out on your child</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">And then went and did the same</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">As an adult you had a choice</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Repeat history or be a man</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Because a real man raises his child</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">And every addition to his clan</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Please let this be a lesson to all </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">While no child asks to be born</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Whenever “life happens” you have a choice</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Either learn and forgive or be scorned</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232;">
Treat others the way you want to be treated – not the way
they treat you! What’s wrong? Does that sound like it doesn’t make sense? If
someone does you wrong, why should you do right by them? Well…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Read in between the lines<br />
It’s not as complicated as it seems</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
This has nothing to do with revenge </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Nothing to do with schemes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Everything to do with karma</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
A little about being polite</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
As we learned at the age of five</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Two wrongs don’t make it right</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
If two wrongs doesn’t make it right</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444; color: #f1c232; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Then that should be all you need</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Sista from another mista</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Brother from another mother</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
No matter what you call it</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
The bond is like no other</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Maybe you met in college</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Maybe you met at work</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Or maybe at the bar</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
But it feels like you met at birth</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
They always know when something’s up</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
And when you’re feeling a little blue</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
You can try to tell a lie</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
But they know it’s not the truth</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
The moment that you met</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
You knew the friendship would last forever</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Trust came naturally</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
And you’d disrespect them never</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Well, not on purpose anyway</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
But listen to what they have to say</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
If you crossed that line</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Then apologize right away</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
You can go months without speaking</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
But when you finally do</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
You’ll pick up where you left off</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Nothing like their point of view</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
You could talk all night</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Where the hours pass on by</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Sometimes you cry until you laugh</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Sometimes laugh until you cry</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Either way they’re here to stay</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
That’s how you’d like it to be</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
You can call them at odd hours</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Midnight, one, two, or three</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
And they are always there to listen</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
To help you pick up the pieces</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Nurture you during break-ups</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
And as your connection increases</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
They’ll open up your fridge</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Be there for your kids</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Without even asking</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
That’s just the way it is</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
They’ll laugh at you when you fall</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Take your keys if you’re drunk</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
They encourage you to be better</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
And then go back to talking junk</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
They know your favorite meal</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
They know your favorite track</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
They know your favorite this</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
They know your favorite that</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
True friends are hard to come by</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
Cherish them until the end</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
After all, they are more like family</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="color: blue;">
Much deeper than just a friend</div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
