Last night I had a dream
That you were here with me
That body was dripping with sweat
Sweet smell of ectasy
Night prior baby
We made music
Might as well been an album
I’m tired of all your fooling, your bitching, and all the gossiping
You can’t get on the road without stopping causing the trafficking
You sit around, lazy and can’t figure out what your slacking in
Baby, It’s Cold Outside, or is it Us?
Baby, It’s Cold Outside,
You ain't going nowhere fuck you thought this was none of y'all are leaving this is what pain does to a person who never felt love never felt trust only thing he ever felt was the lock of the handcuffs
I’m not handing checks because it’s not season

I operate for my own reasons
To protect myself as a human being
Can’t put me down, I am not weakened
In the eyes of the president, I’m a fucking rapist
In the eyes of the president, I don’t work for shit
In the eyes of the president, I’m a drug user
A bunch of people poppin off their hinges
They line up to be called snitches
My computer screen went black from all the game glitches
I might have fell and the hospital gave me 15 stitches
Verse 1
When your out in this world all lonely
You don’t know what to do with yourself honestly
Looking back at your life is a tragedy
Your trying to move along and be strong for insanity
There you were standing, stalled
Your eyes, a deer in headlights, lights
They held a killer cold hue
The best was given
Yet, it wasn’t good enough for you
Lately I've been hoping for some better days'Cause lately I've been feeling some type of wayThese silent thoughts have been goin on for years nowI'm wonderin' what's goin on when I'm not around

instead of all these youngsters dying on the streets
just sit down and listen to some dope shit
become one with the beat and youll prolly start to spit
Just cause my first mem'ry didn't find me in the ghetto

I insure you just like the gecko
That I did learn how to let go
As you start to rise, success can come at a fatal price,the risk outweights the chance of a changing life,As each day passes its once step forward or stay behind.... I remind myself of the things i seen, with the cautious thoughts of that could ha
Dear Hip Hop and Rap and other types of music that were traps for what I thought was a good beat but ended up being everything but that.
notebook and pencils im ready to kill time writing rhymes
passing the class is not a problem, i just gotta make it on time
i am not intrerested ive lost the passion
A father gunned down right in front of me, a flash of red
a life taken faster than the way the bullet sped
my mother snorted lines, but never paid attention to mine
this is a dope joint & I'll get to the point
in certain circles we always regret the decisions we make
making choices with no voices
we got heads today that really want to stay in the game
but who am I to blame
jump in the game no here to complain
being busy as a bee in a land of make believe
we shoot for the top but it ends in the flames
let me be the first to explain
I'm staying in the game this is my time
Check one on the mic I'm about to bite
a victim of race spread out your Peyton place
let me take you down to the hood
this is where you get the real lessons in life
Hustlers pimping their rides
you can't make your heart beat something it won't
it's either heaven or hell now I got a good story to tell
rap your rap well from the heart
this will light the inner spark to what I'm waiting for
Although those many years have passed
Having every bit of reason to grasp
The true message in his songs
Seen him twice in Hartford, Ct
That brother made a dent in my true memory as a young G
There's a battle for your mind but you say it's just fine
pulling a 9 to your head it's the walking dead
Not since the day of creation did we stand with ovation
A seed was drop from a farmers bag that was bad
Little miss reddy
Momma told her get ready
Grab her basket in handy
So she could go see her granny
She was feeling so canny
A lot of food she had plenty
Once upon a time,
in a land far away,
there lived a beautiful princess
whose name was Aurora.
Her hair as golden as sunshine on a sunflower,
lips as red as the red rose,
yesterday we used to pray
today you say it ought not be that way
I was born in the gutter my mother was a whore
she sold her junk in the trunk in back of the liquor store
I was raised by my grandma Mable
Stuck, entangled,
Entrapped in the mangled
Mess of the past
This hollow tomb for a doer
Of evil is empty and black
There is no hope for the futer
Cause Only death is to come
Back By Force
living on the edge and it's going to my head
sitting up at night all alone in bed
Following the rainbow to the sky
I see a vision of you pass me by
Got breaks in my mind
Doing Time
put you rubbers on talk to your john
switch to the rhyme we all stand alone
look inside we got nothing to hide
with random words got my head in a stir
Fuck you...
One two on the mic let's start this flow
in my crib there lies a vast domain
some give props to the criminally insane
sugar is sweet as sweet as honey
Suck a M.C. in the place to be mixing dope rhymes living out my fantasy.
Going down breaking you need someone to take your hand
Snake pit lions den you need someone to be your friend,
Rolling down the street in my Benz
It's Like A Jungle Sometime,
straight to the heart we get a brand new start
Shooting pool down at the bar
Sipping on the Cool Aid watching those honey's
Say you have to act your age
but what do they know
Cool Moe B
Back in the day we used to pray
Others say it ought not be that way
Snake pit, lion's den you need someone to be your friend
Your a soldier in the army of God
you feel burned again and you can't breathe again,
feet in mud again, stuck can't see again,
but my minds free again, my veins they bleed again,
my heart it beats again, these dreams will see again,
Verse 1:
Feet on the ground,
More so when nobody to be found
Though sometimes I like to stick around
Need to be alone, figure out what’s really right and what’s wrong
Got my head in the clouds,
Verse 1:

It's the words of your life
You know proof on repeat all day

Slim shady' so shady
Dropping bombs
Faster than you can say sabotage
Life's not what you think

Are you down

Of those haters hating
Down for
Making thousands of haters
That are just disguised as fans
Who won't admit they like your shi*
They're to busy
Wanting to be you
you better watch it, then rap it.
twirl it like Beckham.
you know what your saying, your binging on hate.
she wearing her crown.
they tell her it's forbidden unknown to Islam,
Pop, the leader of the age,
Confined in today's mainstream cage,
Who's designed to give what the masses want
While every station encourages her flaunt.
Rock, the rebel, born of rage,
Throughout my life I've felt alone,
Depressed, never was impressed with life,
'Till what I have is gone,
My feelings were always messed,
Then I started write, and realized maybe I've been wrong,
Ay yo azmatha fuckin matik brought to you to wreck havoc,
allthrough out your planet,
Cuntsavage, a pretty lavish, classic young man,
When I get down and lower than my natural highs,I turn music for my moods to rise.I sway and I dip,sometimes I silently scream to songs,or mouth the words with open lips.Whether via beats, guitars, or even rap bars-music gets me out of it.
Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton, a man of many words yet with none at the same time,
A man whom I never thought much of, who is not fully appreciated,
Made such an impact on the making of America.
I sit here in the darkness and I write these rhymes
Calmin’ down my sanity turn it to a clarity
I don’t do it for the fame, I just wanna focus and survive
What does poetry mean to me?
Why you even asking?
Every day I'm rapping
Brain bruised, I refuse to take asprin
Lyrics are the cure
Beats bump big, so it's hard to hear
I gotta make my topic clear
A rap is a poem with a beatto be my very best I must competetwo things I learned youngthese proverbs were sungNow words are important to me
What Can I
(Watch the video)
[Verse 1:]
So, they ask me what’s poetry.
What can I do but tell you what this poet thinks?
Meaning to Time
Why do I write? ….
It’s putting meaning to time
Revealing the struggles and the rebuttal’s that we feel in our lives and sometimes….

i was just a little kid with a small mind though
always moving fast, things needs to happen pronto
ideas racing like mom are you proud of me
I started to write poetry
To hide all insecurity
Within my own thoughts and words
I found a sense of security
I grew up around music
Rap artists rhymed lyrically
I attempted to write my own rhymes
I'm like a bird, flying high
Everyday in the sky
I get shot, and I cry
This is ending my life
I fall down, on the ground
No one hears this sound
On the street that I’m bound
I wonder why I woke up this morning
It must be because you sustain me
I question my religion daily
I find the world around me amazing
The peace that I found is a mystory
My old self is long gone it's history
imagine this addiction, words are prescription/
I feed off your words, variable's missing expression/
Hopeless, and I don't think that you noticed so i wrote this
Cause I want you to know this before I disappear,whether I'm dead or gone,far from here
Love my city although many mental wounds had to scar here
Honestly,can't think of a way outta poverty
Palms sweating the fuck'll happen to my life, if I don't win the lottery
Everybodies on my back,sometimes I wish they'd get off of me
Stare at this paper writing yeah life is complete
Bullshit that is,music is my only retreat
Demons haunting me I could never hope to defeat
Can't believe my life lately man,where do i begin?
It's been a crazy few months, dont know when it'll end
It's all been negativity no positive spin
Fighting a uphill battle assumin i'd never win,well
Years spent stuck in my old habits they're so hard to let go of
Dents in these walls, loco enough to blow, but i got no motive
So explosive they say i need a therapist, to attack my head like a terrorist
16, following my dream ima young Ryan Reynolds
wallowing in low self-esteem wanting to scream,go nuts kill everyone at the scene
no desert eagles just a pencil,mutant genes like deadpool
So the story began when you were just a seed
Loving and care is all you really need
Life is hard growing up without a loving father
Nature made it's course and it took away your mother
I wish I was a prospect
A prophecy to fulfill
I wish I was a MC
With dope rap skills that kill
I wish I was that nice guy
I should've seen it when i looked in your eyes.
Preoccupied with making love no need to lie.
Getting close to cutting ties.
Knew you were into other guys thats no suprise.
Rap, game
void of reality
seen the acuality in
darkness cast, shadows
over realism
black in past
mourn together
blackened path
hip-hop
path blackened,
together mourn
Reminding me of a quiet strom,
Feeling like a young mob deep where is alchemist,
Remembering the lox feeling like a young Jadakiss,
Needing the money power and respect,
Kluster fucking women like I’m a young tech,
they asked me, what's the one thing that i need?
my intuition said tuition -- but my soul said "im free"
i call it emancipation, cuz my cup is full of seeds
because i reap what i sow but no reaper reachin me
Never been the luckiest prisoner / no time off from off days / lost hair / inmates claiming they're all innocent / i am too / got lost on my way to school / they told me the wrong route / had me try on this suit / shit im scared / if the shoe fits
Poetry
Oh its what I need
I like it intricate and me interested
Thats how I get invested
The king of them all?
Rap would be in the hall
of fame of course
I will listen to it until I'm a corpse
I fucked up a valium... I been fuckin up.
You? That shit don't mean shit... "you, you you..." I been thru that shit... it's all about me now.
I'm the head. you're the tail...
I tried to hold on sorry I let go, lost my grip hand slipped then I lost all control
Anger embarrassed me and it got the best of me

Look at my life
All the struggle and strife
I deal with on the daily
Haters are spineless
Like snakes, scaly
My words never fail me
King Liam, hail me
grew up like a peasant
Trancending reality
Get in my way
You'll be a fatality
I do it automagically
I say to all my haters
Go ahead, have at me
I make a joint pop like acne
What? That's ridiculous
I don't pretend to be a g
Bustin' slugs and sellin' drugs
I'm just tryna get a hug from a chill honey
But no one fucks with a homie
Who ain't gotta lotta money
I save my change in a jar
Walk into school on the first day everypbody like ok
Yeah i had J's on my feet, they like, "oh dang, yeah okay."
Yeah I accept the compliments
Pills in my face tried to offer shit
He's got the charm of a devil,
smile to prove it.
She's got a mind full of fate,
heart to win it.
I've got a life full of time and no one to spend it on.
Teenage angst, women wearing spanx to insecure to say thanks
can’t take a compliment their disaster’s imminent don’t really know if this is relavant but im doin this for the hell of it
Throw me on the bed and rip my clothes off.
Give me hella head and force my legs apart.
Put it in slow and then fuck my brains out.
Cum and sweat all over, I shake and shout.
I am just renting, put a lease on the bod
I have no deity or God
Darwin my nigga, been part of my day one squad
Searching on social media you will not find me
I'm too busy practicing all the right degrees
The filters hide my fears and flaws
Your half naked pictures should be outlawed
Erasing the impurities from my flesh
It's that trap muzak
misspelled rap muzak
or crap muzak
either way it's that muzak
I miss the days when Raven Symone was black muzak
hope Musiq Soulchild comes back
but not back muzak
Im feeling all the fears
I feel dead inside
I need a pen and paper
and a thing of cyanide
Girl let me tell you that i've been on the road though
Singing songs of how I miss you
A boat load
I write when I'm sad,
I write when I mad,
I write when the sun shines,
or pouring cats and dogs outside.
I write when I have something to say,
or nothing at all.
this generation really has me loosing patience. I dont know how there gonna make it. Always counting on phones , what if one day phones turn into drones and take over the world .
love a first sight is like a light from a dark cave
your heart beats faster cause your loneliness is saved
in your mind you want to call her babe
you want to hold her hand underneath the shade
but truth be told
Pay no attention to the girl behind the curtainCuz boy I am certainYou'll have a little more interest in the one who's out flirtin'That twitch of her hips, you want her so bad it's hurtin'
40 acres and a mule
How bout 40 million and some fame
slaves to old white men's rule
and it's such a shame
from the NBA NFL MLB
to the rap and hip hop music industry
Hey, my name is T-Rek
Ya I ain't a reject, it's all about respect
Arab, don't hate, reflect
That which makes me tick is hard to define
Is the antidepressants stabilizing my mind?
Is it the fear of failure or being left behind?
Is the incessant tick tock ticking of time?
Violence, much happens to people who keep silence
Oppression led the oppress to depression
One gun can kill many sons
Teenage girls are confused, all bruised
The feeling at hand brings on trouble and issues that I cannot stand
It changes my plans and unfortunately, I cannot fuflll its demands
I cannot grasp or understand, but I am only aware of how I'm in a jam
Imma liar, but I'm honest.
Someone you don't wanna spar with
Sometimes my anger drives me,
And I just can't shake the harness
Mark's a literary marksman, words always hit their target
Words are like bullets they pop off when I shoot them,
And my mind is like a powerhouse, I blew it,
My hearts are drum, music is what I've become,
Love is undone;incomplete, she says please to me,
Music on everywhere I go, mostly hip hop and rock and roll
Music on when I go to sleep, even when I wake up when I hit the streets
From Eminem to ACDC, I listen to more music than the flat screen TV
We never know when we're going to dieor how long we'll live. So we spend most of our lives wondering why.
Am I a role model? /
A question I ask myself/
A past life of blunts and bottles/
New life, new thoughts, new self/
Pondering what goals in life are mine/
Is this me or someone else/
I’m a human being
I make mistakes; make risks to take
I determine my life, prevent results, regulate my fate
You can give advice
But it’s my life. Don’t theorize a comprise
I really like your style girl but I hate the fact that you wild, play this game always ends the same is this how it all goes down?
A bunch of hypocrite christian the land of no religion
spreading rumor talking shit what happen to the worship
This boy rise from the dark corner of a room,
Where there no light for the flower to bloom,
Where the wave, show me the ways,
To amaze you every day,
I squeese my head down,
(Intro)
To many things to say,
About everything everyday,
The day i been through,
I think i should pay it to you,
This is only thing can give,
I've tried so many times,
and told so many lies.
I've sat and waited;
and watched;
was hated.
All these haters observin’ me.
Colliding their trash, an attempt to murder me.
But these niggas haven’t even heard of me.
Ill kill you off verbally.
Destroy your life emotionally.
Disturb your soul mentally.
When I reach for the pen and paper, and begin to write/
Do I write about what’s right or mainstream it to tight/
One brings fame while the other brings respect/
I guess the only way to impress is to show intellect/
In 5,4,3,2,1
The words I will here when I sit in front of the camera at my dream job
It will be more than a job it will be a career
Getting the story, delievering the story, and the greatest part networking
Have you heard a rap song lately?
They talk about sex and getting money mainly.
Oh, you just like the beat?
I read them verses in your tweets.
I know the way they rap is kind of neat.
This passion of mine is a craft I refine,
Words Clash and align then get graft into lines.
Disaster and crime get you blast with a nine,
Just for cash or a dime bet you castin' a sign.
It hurts to see the table empty with no foodAnd my little brother walking around with some fucked up shoes
I can’t stand it.
Everyone thinks that they know better,
But they don’t.
She left her wallet in El Segundo,
Clueless el son had a gun though,
1 hits, 2 hits,
They too be on that dumb dro,
She says she loves that boy,
But their relations only days old,
i live to be ill, for the thrill, keep it trill
and if you walk into my house I'll be sending you a bill
i dont need no money, but i get it tho
i don't complain, it's insane, the way im stackin doe
fucked it all up
tried to make it look right
I do a lot of bad shit
but I still stay polite
Noone knows me around the corner
down the street in the alley
You was only chasin
I complete by marryin that girl dominique
until i realized she ain't got the best physique
The was the second strike
cause her heart wasn't right
she was intercoursing just out of spite
Competition in this generation marks the determination of
H.I.P.H.O.P
We will be those who carry insanity
I finally get to sing happy songs
Never felt so alive and strong
Knew you were coming home all along
I'm so happy, nothing could ever be wrong
Can't wait 'till you come home
All those days over the phone
Who would of thought? that with composition, lines and verses
Y’all cast these disperses to pay off my courses
Disperse em, then convert all disbursements
investing, buying, spending them all in the moment..
Béyonce you wish you were me,
Strutting in my Luis V.
You think you're as bad as can be,
But hey I got my Céline with me.
Paris made, London born,
Baby got that foreign form.
They walk around scared and when we come near they give us odd stares
when really we should be the ones with fear
when the coppas roll around the gun us down outta no where
eye lids pop open,
body in gulped in pain,
oozing in red liquid,
fear pumping through her blood stream,
strength sprung from the gods above,
power to take control of her destiny,
Took an hour to write... Enjoy :)
Poetry is an art, my imagination's the canvas.
The lyrics I breathe're pure, but bear evil thoughts of a savage.
Demonic practice; without a leash I bet I murder the masses.
I'm a faucet of emotions when my pen strikes the page
Clarity and bliss engage while my song plays
Melody and word possess the key to my cage,
I'm locked in the cell of routine of everyday life
Sex. Parties. Drugs.
It’s claimed that’s "life" by people who call themselves "thugs".
Tell me why are these artists called artists?
Convince me that my generation doesn’t react to this.
Wordsmiths are my forbidden fruit
But then I look at others and wonder is this a trick
Why are you so different?
Life is good despite being birthed a sinner
Music and me have something going
Music and me are far too knowing
We together, one controlling
Right now it’s me.
Music has given me the right of way.
When I first listened to hip hop
She really thought it was real this time
She was stubborn that this time, this time he was the one
So she danced with words on her tongue
And made him feel like a prince
Sorrow sorrow brother is deadCremated into ashes put in a jar the new child tot tot topples it overWhat to do what can be doneScramble to scoop brother back into his homeSome ashes are missedLicked up by the cat
My pencil is a Chinese native.
Factored so I can pretend to be creative
Writing’s addictive and my mind is active, I’m a practiced imaginative
Imagine: the paper I use was alive.
When I die, my body will become the grass
When I’m gone, there will be a crack on the glass
My spirit will be an overwhelming mass
And my footsteps will cause an earthquake in class
The beat and lyrics that I always hear
Makes the poet inside me wanna appear
Incomparable beauty like the Santa Monica pier
Addictive like when my dead cousin swallowed the beer
There are a lot of things as to what poetry means to people, so inevitably there is something for me.
Storytellers, true storytellers
Talking about real life, their life
Not a dream or fantasy
Demanding positive social change
Using their fame
To improve the lives of others
i grew up as a sista, round the brothers
the kids who get pissed ya, bout their mothers
livin still with mom and dad
somethin i once had
he was quite the father, then times got bad
Oh gheez
Lets freeze
I’m not hard to please
I need apologies
I’ve paid my fees
Put me at ease
Ain’t hear to please ya
Not sittin here to tease ya
But this light skinned disease
Like The Lord,
I get bored,
always gettin ignored,
cause my words
Have been poured
down your vocal chords
N you can’t afford
To take what you stored

When everyone left me hope was the only thing I had to spare.
I always hear people sayin “life ain’t fair.”
But that’s a blasphemous nightmare.
Have you turned on the radio lately?
Have you heard beyond the top 40?
Have you heard this shit they call music?
Aren’t tired of hearing 'shorty'?
I’m tired of the same beat
From the same street
