Sometimes I wonder why

Why I wonder so much

I always stop though

When I come in contact with your touch

They say “where fools dive in” but I have no rush

You can hate or you can relate

When it all falls down

We are all one love

A creations from God above…

What’s it gonna be

Cause I can’t pretend

I didn’t mean to offend

I just want you to understand

That it wasn’t my plan

I guess it just wasn’t my time

I was out my shine

But you got me & a place

Right here, deep in my heart

Knew I felt something, right from the start

Won’t front, we strong, we smart

If what you sayin’ is true

I wanna be with you too

Just as much as you do

No sayin’ the things that we can do

Baby if we ride, It’s just me and you

I’m tryna’ think what I would do

If I ever found myself without you

Don’t know if I could ever pull through

It’s just the things that you do

Got me twisted

First time I left you

I missed it

Got myself labelled a mis-fit

But these things - I don’t wish it

And if only I could lift it

I would right my wrongs and get lifted

We will be on top

Solid as a rock

And yeah, I’m influenced

Never flip-flop

And if you rub it

I’mma’ let it drop

Don’t stray baby, stay hot

You know you’re always welcome in my shop

And I really mean it when I say don’t stop…

Just know he helped push aside my adolescence

For I had to grow

Into the woman I have to be - I let it show

He has my heart, although it was a rough start

This has been the most cherished year of my life

But I won’t forget who keeps me motivated

Who keeps safe thoughts in my mind at night

You told me there is nothing new under the sun

I’m sure there is many who would ride for you

Who would die for you

And many who inspired you

Some might have grown tired of you

But every day, through my eyes, you are new

And thats enough reason for me to stay true

I thought you knew

What I would do for you

And when you read this

I hope you see this

I hope you know

That I don’t know how to show

How much you really mean to me

And how much I would put in to make it be

And since God (gave you) a father

I can only forgive you

And try again

Because this pain

Comes from love

Love for you

Love I won’t let go of

Love that needs you here

Love that erases all fear

It’s because you healed me

I never did it for me or for you

I did it for us…

In Tha’ Depths of Solitude…

If I was a star

That you stared at every night

& One day I wasn’t shining so bright

Would you still believe in me?

Trivial Pursuit

They say I’m sick

I’m twisted

But I’m gifted

& I stay lifted

I gotta show my love

Do my thing

I don’t expect you to love me

But me, I just do me - deal with my problems

The right way, the best way, I gotta’ solve them

Always gotta’ be looking for better options

Babygirl, you know you always got one

& If you don’t know a way, you can always adopt one

I’m just sittin’ here thinking about you

Gotta’ know, nobody doubts you

Thats why you gotta’ shine through

Somebody once told me I gotta keep it movin’

And no matta’ what goes down

I always got

A minute 4 you

(If not

Please

Forgive me…)

Keep It 100’

Can’t deny that it’s so real

So deep it’s like my soul feel

It’s time for elevation

Generation through generation

Just keep it real

Cause’ they gotta’ really feel

Just keep it true

You just gotta’ do you

Disregard what they say

Cause’ you gotta make a way

We gonna’ make it through

It’s just me & you

Along with the world

The Mega-City

& The borough

One step at a time

Make sure your goals are thorough

You gotta make it

Regardless of obstacles

Baby, jump them hurdles

Take a major in life cause’

The best teacher is experience…

No Regrets

All the things I’ve seen

They made me, me

Can’t be no one else if I tried…

November 18th

You didn’t have to get into me but it’s real

Now there’s no telling how I really feel

I got this Jones in me, hard like steel

My worlds spinnin’ from reel to reel

I can tell you, but how do you feel?

I love to gather each thought

And express

All of this jealousy and what not

I don’t stress

This life is real

One by one

I unload my (situations)

My soul needs, so I need

To be me & just do what I do

Even back in the day

I had a book or two

Had to spill a few lines

In ink, about the times

That a girl was going through

Thinkin’ & Feelin’

Tell me whats the meaning

Gotta stick to my goals

Keep doing what I do best

Don’t let it get under me

Keeping it on my vest

On my chest

Soulfully

My soul so needs

To just be me

I ain’t doing it to be in a magazine

Or to bust on to whateva’ scene

I just do it cause’ it’s been me

This is how I live free

I write my poetry

Take my pictures

Make my art

And read his (ayahs) and scriptures

Don’t make many friends

Stay outta’ worlds filled with drama

Never ending circles

Gotta go home and tell mama

That I’mma’ be all I can be

I’m gonna’ make a way

There’s gonna’ be better days

So don’t ever let them fade

Your style is so sweet

Thank you for raising me

I love you mama

This is my life

No criminal sh*t

That’s subliminal shit

I am an original chick…

On Silence

Past the point of exposure

Released into the wild

Incubation times vary

But for a being so free

These periods only devour

The mind, body and spirit

Should you be strong

Or stronger, most people

Find ease in strength

A special make and

A special code

Special clothes

& A special

Abode, but still

For the un-tamed

The incubation times vary

For the logical they serve

As retreats, as inspiration

As a journey and an exploration

For the wild they are but walls

And fields and lakes, grass and

Open waters, deep waters, rivers

Don’t go chasing waterfalls baby

Stick to the rivers and the lakes

Just like you are used to…

In these times I found it hard 2 find

Someone like you to help me go with time

And I’ll never stop and look back

They can call the facts

But it don’t matter anyways

We were there since the 1st day

They could try to bring us down

Even times I run with frowns

You shouldn’t give a damn

I’ll love you if I can

& It’s tender, the warm hands

I always had cold feet

Running where you would suggest

Waters were deep

U said U don’t sleep

Well, neither did I

Easy or not 2 understand

Why girls cry…

Everything around you never stops changing

Everybody keeps switchin’ like we playing the lane game

I ain’t in to what these other lames play

I ain’t even down like that, I don’t need a resume

Enough talk bout what you up to, who you know

The pot is steaming and when it pops, whose gonna blow

Everyday around the way, people talkin’ on the low

Tragedies & Disasters, It’s paper (they) after, easy dough

Makes the batter, We baking, whose cookies you after?

Just because they talked you down or did you wrong?

No need for the violence cause’ now they gone

We on the ground like R.I.P. drinking

Tearin’ ourselves up er’ day thinking

I’m out here for myself

Only God can lend me help

Who do I trust

None other than myself

Send me the will of God

I need the strength of prayers

My heart is lifted up with you

Please tell me what would Jesus do

I am putting my faith in you

We gon’ make it

Keep singing it like

We gon’ make it

So when the pot pops

What did we create?

We all living the same

There ain’t no other way

It’s a victory today

We ain’t here to play

We gon’ do what we came to do

It’s on & poppin’ we coming for you…

Ever since I was a little girl

They left me in the streets

Now I’m not a little girl

All I see is the streets

And as I grow up

I stay in these streets

Now that I know

You have to be careful in the streets

It’s not what you think

(These days, you can’t just go for a “walk”…)

In these streets.

Baby I miss ya’

Wishing I could kiss ya’

Don’t even have a picture

So many miles away

So many & even though you so close

Seems so far away

Feel like the stars gone away

Feel like a long day

Feel like i’m going the wrong way

What can I say, I’m so lonely

Need you here so you can hold me

Wishin’ I could be with you shortly

After this moment I write

But I know I got’s to wait

(Not tonight)

Or tomorrow

I was gone a day late

Feeling too thorough

Searching deep

In my boroughs

Of thoughts

Thinking about what I got

& How I love him so

Can’t let him go

I don’t know if you know

But you got my heart beating…

I guess I’m just rusty

Tryna’ perfect my rhymes, I’m busty

This year is the rebirth of my life

Stayin’ up tryna’ make it at night

Strugglin’ was my learning curve

But all of the joy in lessons, no words

Can describe the feeling inside

I’m shifting, I’m in drive

Runnin’ hard to stay live

Neva forget none of ya’ll in my life

& Through my hustle, through my strife

I’ll be willing to shine the light

Everybody’s got to be willing

Other people have problems

They dealing

Some people be out

Scheming and Stealing

Forget the past for a minute

Let’s be real and

Discover the truth

It’s not far away

Can’t think too much

About tomorrow

It’s another day…

- 00/00/2008

Untitled

Yeah, yeah

Ya’ll really should know

Lets focus on today not tomorrow

All the love you got, you can’t borrow

So be real, don’t focus on your sorrow

Because, my homies we got to ball out

Let’s be realistic, one day we’ve all got’s to fall out

And so lets enjoy life while it lasts

Stay in the present, don’t go into the past

Pain hurts, but a lil’ longer it will last

And when you feeling bummy, push that gas…

Everlasting

I just can’t get past it

So breathtaking

It lasts

Its almost so deep

I can get lost in it

So stimulating mentally

I see how you really are

I have feelings

Really want you for me…
