The pledge

My right hand on a Bible, my left gat a mic,
Before God and fellow men, I vow to aid through the night,
For all of those who ain't got voices though they speak and they fight,
For those understanding my words as though signs with my hands,
For those reaching thie' fingertips for a vision of the braille's brand ;
Hear me spit therapoetic verses from a divine might.
What d'you expect from a Gee like me blessed with the skill,
To make your heads nod to and fro?, I'm out for the kill !
like say I loose control, I'll be steady bringing the hit !
Up to your door posts, like it or not I'm venting my piece !
Giving back to my community from what she gave me,
But I always wonder possiblities for a prophet like me
Unknown to my city. looking forward as far I can see,
To better days. like in the prime of Mohamad Alli,
I've been online searching for the perfect sample I need,
To free your minds from he bondage of the immanent leech,
putting y'all behind my bars, breaking insanity's grip,
But one condition: Pay attention to my bars when they speak,
Can then guarantee your freedom in this knew era of rap
To all these rappers ; I'm devil in God's clothen, they see-
Me unleashing my demons though not to attack,
I'm that Picasso painting life vivid and clean,
With no gimmicks of any kind, my strokes be drawing a map
Of a bumpy road to the promise land, I know it ain't what it seems
But of all I've seen crystal clear ; the boy gonn hit the mainstream !
So I'm here making promises from the heart of my dreams
Putting y'all in my shoes, making you feel what I feel,
Through my myopic iris making you see what I see,
Like on a date I hope y'all ready to get to know me,
Though I hope the aftermath Y'ain't pointing fingers at me
Of all I learned in life: stay true and always
come clean,
Spray the light out, never spare no darkened heels!
Up straight I stand tall to the sky, I'm the Lighthouse!
Trampling hell, counting on heaven not to blackout.
My hommie Lush man said: "boi, you gotta stand out,
Spread your wings wide, for sure you gonn fly out,
But don't forget 'em demons gonn be looking forward to time out,
For nothing other than to see and make sure your light's out..."
At first a thought the nigga joking but didn't laugh out
Neither a smilly face he gave, he trying to man out
And spite the truth to my face, bitter! I had to cry out
Asserting my stands; me I'm a watch man on the look out
For rats and 'raoches, i see snakes up in they hide outs
My hands on a machete, 'em grasses imma cut out
Exposing you snakes, your necks ain't afraid to slit out
Like Wesley Snips I go #bang to blow your minds out
Though life's ups and downs made a nigga caught crazy
Then I look at Life in her face and refuse to let her slay me,
I heard she's just a bitch so I'ma keep her pussy wet, see...
Like a boxer throw punches, I'ma never back down on my high skyscraper dreams
I told you I'm the figure y'all have never ever seen
Wait till I come popping right on top of the T. V. screen
Before you go see clair ? am loaded with the honey cream
So he with no sin can step forward and cast the first stone,
Wherever I roam, on ten toes I'll be back home,
I'ma never forget the road lies in front of me and the stars be shining high above of me.
While I put to shame all of those who doubted me,
My eyes casted to the heavens where aid falls to me !
