T(he).H(ate) .U.G(ive). Life
As a born again christian man
who is chasing after Jesus's greatness
here to convey that T.H.U.G life is real
many will perceive me as hypocrite.
Once again, you're wrong
T.H.U.G life is not about boasting the life of a gang banging
it's not about celebrating the life of a gangsta
it's about wearing God's armor of protection against the Hate
the helmet of salvation
breastplate of righteousness
belt of truth
footwear of peace
sheild of Faith
& the sword of the Spirit
I'm a proud taino black Puerto Rican man of God
The Hate U Give me is because I'm outspoken Do me a favor If U have nothing nice to say to me while I'm alive Don't say anything nice about me in a casket at a funeral it's about The Hate U Give
to someone that looks different from you where it's okay to assume the worse
and not the greatest in a person
T.H.U.G life is fighting the same villain y'all fighting and yet see me as a villain
The Hate U Give
is when you killed an unarmed man or woman like a sandra bland , anthony baez, and now George Floyd
and walk away unpunish
The Hate U Give
is when you're unaffected by injustices and don't care because it doesn't apply to you
The Hate U Give
is how the Lord loves me for His creation
yet brothers and sisters of Christ slander and ignore one another
have the audacity to show your face in church praising God
Really!!!!!!!!!
no wonder Jesus flipped tables and called out phony worshippers as hypocrites
i won't split your wig with guns, but words from the Bible
He'll will expose you for who you really are
The Hate U Give
is be friends until trials occurred
then i'll know who my friends truly are
keep your friends close, but your enemies closer
T.H.U.G. life is a soldier fighting to stay alive because he doesn't want to die
T.H.U.G life is a stuggler not tempting to rob someone who is flashing jewelry
knowing he needs to buy milk to feed his baby because he's starving
The Hate U Give
you will receive in return
The Hate U Give
is taught by blind eyes, deaf ears, hearts harden, and minds close
The Hate U Give
satisfies the thirst of satan
T.H.U.G. life is not about sticking my middle fingers up nor pants sagging like a lowlife
it's about ending T.H.U.G life
when will you get it?
when another unarmed man or woman is gunned down with no retribution?
same stories, different names, same outcomes
when will you get it?
do you know what it means to love? many don't know
but it's easy to Hate somebody that's for sure why?
because we all come from different walks of life?
love is patient, love is kind, love doesn't envy
when will we get it?
how many more lives must be gone way before their time until we finally say enough is enough
25 and younger committing violent crimes killing one another with no remorse?
U know when?
When Jesus is coming.
do you know when?
He'll come when you least expected
and when He comes, He'll show all of you when He wipes away all evil
ending T.H.U.G life
T.H.U.G life is not about knuckleheads in the street corner
T.H.U.G is The Hate U Give.

Your poems always amaze me. I too am a strong Christian who lives for God, and God alone. My husband is too a born again Christian. Thank you for speaking out.

YES! Being outspoken for the Lord is not only right, but necessary. By shedding light on all of these issues you are showing that it isn't right and that action needs to be taken... But God gives us the discernment to know when and how. We can each change our little corner of the world for the better... You gave specifics here, and were very descriptive.
