There used to be a time
when writting for blacks was a crime.
But laws changed over time.
Now blacks are allowed to rhyme,
through poetry and raps
and now some are creating their own apps.
My tongue is not held by tongs.
My thoughts run with no destination,
My emotions flow with ever situation.
I'll never take it back
Don't speak to me like that
Hearing voices throughout my head
All my thoughts have already been said
I feel a push
I feel a rush
Now the hole is getting larger
What really gets me going in life
is the fufillment of dreams
and love throughout strife.
The courage to do
What makes you tick?
That's a hard question to answer, because my answer's not quick.
"I'm not racist but…"
"I'm not homophobic but…"
"I'm not sexist but…"
The truth is, you are,
And saying that you're not
Won’t help stop the war.
You’re not the one stopped
I am my worst enemy
I cannot understand the inside of me
This land of me is full of mystery
I always try to be the best
