"One Take"

"One Take"

You ask me as if you don't know,
You ask as if I mean the world to you,
The answer is in between these lines,
The truth I never disguise,

War stories I have survived,
The scars I will never show,
The pain is deep below,
Triumphant so many victories
To celebrate,
Life is a blessing,
I don't take for granted,
Cheers to the good life,
Toast it up my friend,
One take,
Smile here comes the click
Clack then flash,
Life is not a show,
It's to be lived out loud though,
Find your voice & rock out,
It's your time now,
Don't let the base drown out
Your tone,
Paint the town in the colors
You so choose to,
Live how you please,
You only get
One take,
For God's sake,
Live to the fullest,
With no regrets!

Getting a few things off my chest... "Miss-Labeled"

"Miss-Labeled"

I'm not a preacher,
I can't be your savior,
I'm no saint,
I've lived life as a sinner,

Guilty only by association,
No longer do I live life blinded,
Did my best to overcome
Negative circumstances,
I count my blessings,
Thankful for my family &
All my loved ones,
I'm no healer,
I'm no martyr,
I'm someone's intelligent daughter,
I'm someone's compassionate sister,
I'm the perfect contradiction,
You can't label me,
I won't allow it,
You can't discourage me
From carrying out my legacy,
From taking all that belongs to me,
I'm a dreamer,
I'm a realist,
I'm someone's hero,
I'm someone's villain,
I'm someone's missed target,
Don't know why but society
Loves to point fingers & spit lies,
Don't allow the negativity to
Hold you captive,
Send you into a downward trance,
Keep on rising,
Keep on shining,
Keep on living to the best of
Your capabilities,
Smile when you want to cry,
At the end of the day,
Be proud of who you are,
Only you know...
Just who
You are!

"Stay"

"Stay"

Too hot to hold,

Too much to handle,

Never thought I'd

Be too much for you,

My love should have

Consoled you,

Kept you close,

Brought you home,

Always on the go,

I follow this lovely

Melody of mine

Religiously,

My main priority,

My apologies,

That's where my

Loyalty lies,

I was falling

Backwards with

My eyes closed,

So in love with you,

How'd it fall apart?

I was sincere in my efforts,

Yet my anger took over,

Wish you could understand me,

Wish no explanations were necessary,

Don't judge the unknown,

Accept me unconditionally,

I'm too hot to hold,

Too much for you to handle,

We went astray,

Yet in my 
Heart

You'll always 
Stay...

"Lost One" (Don't Be A Statistic, Be A Success Story!)

"Lost One"

 

You're mind is blown,

Listening to some tunes

In a room full of smoke,

Another hit of that greenery,

Another shot of that dark brown,

You say it's what you need

For you to keep writing these rhymes,

Another sniff of that white girl,

Feeling on top of the world,

Here comes that white girl straight

Into your system,

Knocks hard like the drums & the base,

Now your spitting out your

Verses at a rapid pace,

Here we go now you feel like

You're on point,

Super star in your mind,

Living life like a dead

Rock star that wasted

His potential,

You're coming up off that high,

Here we go,

Pop another one of these pills,

They'll give you wings,

Take another shot of that Henny

It'll keep you going baby,

You're almost done with the song

Why'd you drop on the ground?

Shaking... White substance coming

Up out your mouth,

Come on super star,

Don't flat line now,

You were on your way up,

Look at you now...

Mama can't stop crying,

Your family burying you six feet under,

RIP to another one gone too soon,

Your friends will mourn then move on,

The industry can't even remember your name,

Damn shame,

Should have let go of those vices,

You had potential,

Now you're just another

Lost One!
