they just work now some how
but not like a child
but an adult
yeah i float
like boat

yeah i can walk
like a man
or like Christ
for the first time in my life

POURING RAIN (POETRY)

poetry knows my pain
and rains on that seed until the weeds need to removed
and my inside are smoothed
or God's uses it as nourishment for the nations
yeah i am His Creation
or His Vision
so listen
my pain is to help
my wept is to warn
yeah the poetry that i perform
or the pain that i feel is very real
yeah like still waters
or raging fires
my lows can get you to higher flows
yeah your insides can grow like a flower
from pain rain-showers
yeah so we both can get power
from my pouring rain
on stain-glass window

MY DEPARTURE

there's a packed house
people are as quiet as a mouse
and sadly there's no spouse
or kids to call mine
because you see....
time ran out for me
or God's Hands didn't create that plan
for me
and ooowee that hurts
because now there's dirt
on my grave
and i see the streets paved...
with gold
yeah my soul is gone
but my souls was strong
it just was here long

WALKING PAPERS

i have been in this cerebral palsy body for almost 40 years now
and child i think i have more than served my time
yeah i feel like i was falsely accused of crime
and yeah just left behind bars
with so many emotional scars
yeah i long to see
the sun and the stars inside me
so please God may i have the key?
so i can go free

NO MORE QUESTIONS

only you know GOD
how hard my life will get
yeah because you control the switch
because you are the light
period
and you are always right
period
so i guess no fright necessary
yeah being blessed shouldn't be scary to me
but i can't fully see what you can
yeah because i'm really human
but this you know too
yeah because you are the one who made me...
black, red, and blue
so okay, father do what you plan to do
period

in a duel
with the devil
so hand me a shovel
because i'm dead
in my head
and maybe in my heart too
because i feel so blue
so please God give me a clue
or give me something new
to do
in a day

yeah i am your clay
and your are the potter
yeah i am your daughter

BUT I DO WISH YOU PEACE
IN ARIZONA

THE TALE OF 2 CITIES

it's 2:30
and i'm in a hurry
to grow up
so wish me luck
as buck out into this new world
of wonder
and please pray
that i don't go under
ground
yes into the lost and no found
yeah pray that i don't drown
or act like a clown
on stage
or grown into a jealous rage
but i am of tired of being in a cage
labeled cerebral palsy
yeah i was born to be ballsy
yeah even though...
i am a female
i was born with very dominate smell
but not like hell
but more like heaven's wishing well
on earth
in jesus name
amen

cigarettes burns

she knows my name
and number
but has no idea how much rain and thunder
she has caused
wait a minute, pause
maybe she's aware
but just doesn't care
which isn't fair
because i still love her'
and think of her
every single day
and almost every single hour
man, i want my power back
and the tracks of my tears to stop
flooding around the clock
which doesn't always work
and so i hurts

MAKING A WISH

man, i wish i could walk
man, i wish i could drive
man. i wish i was a bride
and a mommy
for real
not funny
yeah i crave milk and honey
yeah like a bed craves silk sheets
yeah my pain is very deep
and sometimes i cry myself to sleep
but God keep on wake me up
but not because of luck
but because of love
yeah like a dove
which is gentle
and not accidental
so my mental must let go
and let God flood
in me like a wave-pool
man, the water is cool

WHY DID YOU HURT ME SO?

why did you make me cry?
why did you lie?
when i love you so much my friend
yeah we are supposed to be the begin, the middle and the end
yeah like skin and blood
or like water and a flood
but instead my heart and head feels like mud
but i want to crud off of me
yeah so i can see
and breathe
again
i feel like sin
right now
and that's not how a child of God should feel
yeah for real
but i still wanna know...
why did you hurt me so?

OVER FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS

it's been over forty days and forty nights
but that doesn't seem right
so did my mind take flight in my dreams?
and leave my real-life behind
man, that would be a crime to me
but you see, time wait for no one
or nothing
yeah the sun just shines
and birds just sings
like kings and queen should
yeah because God is love
and he made us all to be good
in the neighbor of earth
yeah all of our births have worth
yeah we all meant to thirst
hunger
and wonder
in the thunder
and rain
yeah mixed with pain
in a picture-frame
yeah but game-on

Jealous Jesus

man, my emotions are tryin' to get out
yeah ny tryin' to shout
help
yeah as they wept in depth
about the past
of broken glass on the floor
yeah my scars are bloody and scars
but life is war
and my insides must ride for cause
yeah with no pause
so my jaws must stay shut
while i'm kickin' butt
and for what?
or for who?
you might say
Jesus
because by the way
he is just like me
which is emotional
can't you see?
jealous Jesus

PRAISE & LOVE

GOD, YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME A MIGHTY LONG WAY
AND HERE I STAND INTO TODAY
YEAH NO WAY, DID MAN PUT ME HERE
LIKE A GOOD AGED BEER OR WINE
YEAH I'M A FINE PIECE OF ART
WITH A HEART
AND A SOUL
SO MY BODY IS WARM
NOT COLD
LIKE ICE
YEAH MY PERSONALITY IS MOSTLY NICE
AS LONG AS YOU DON'T SLICE ME
YEAH BY DOING SOMETHING DICEY
AND THEN MIGHT BECOME SPICY
IN THE WORSE WAY
BUT TODAY
I'M OKAY
IN THIS MOMENT OF....
PRAISE & LOVE
AMEN

OPEN DIALOGUE

MAN, IT'S SO QUIET
YEAH I NEED TO START A RIOT
OR FEED THIS SILENCE
BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA TO GET VIOLENT
BUT I AM STARVING FOR CONVERSATION
FROM THIS NATION
BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME DREAM AA ME
SO MY SOUL SCREAMS UNCONTROLLABLY CONSTANTLY
BECAUSE I CRAVE LOVE AND COMPANY
LIKE A SLAVE DOES FREEDOM
YEAH THERE'S A REASON
THAT I'M BREATHING
IN THIS SEASON OF WINTER
BUT WHO'S COMING TO DINNER?
FOR A HALF SINNER
HALF WINNER
ALL HUMAN

SOMETIMES
AND IT'S EYES SEEMS SO BLIND
BUT THEN THAT REMINDS ME
I DON'T HAVE TO BE
THAT WAY

OR WORK YOUR PLAN ON THIS LAND
YEAH MAKE IT GRAND, I UNDERSTAND
SO THAT'S WHY I SAY "GOOD MORNING TODAY"

FOR MILES AND MILES

MAN IS WALKING REALLY THAT GREAT?
IF SO, MAN I CAN'T WAIT TO BE ABLE TO IT ON MY OWN
YEAH LIKE A CHOIR SINGS A SONG
THAT BRING THE HOUSE DOWN
AND PUTS A SMILE ON A SAD CLOWN
YEAH I WANT TO GET AROUND TOWN
IN THE BEST WAY
WHICH IS MY FEET
YEAH I WANT TO GO DEEP INTO THE MOUNTAINS
LIKE WATER IS IN FOUNTAINS
OR FALLS
YEAH, I WANT TO DO IT ALL
IN THE CALL OF THE WILD
BY IN THE STYLE OF GOD'S CHILD
YEAH FOR MILES AND MILES
AMEN
UNTIL I SEE HEAVENLY LAND

BABY STEPS

MAN, I WISH I COULD STAND ON MY ON
IS THAT WRONG?
WHEN GOD SAYS NO
OR NOT NOW MY CHILD
WOW, WHAT A POW TO MY HEART
BUT I CAN'T DEPART FROM EARTH YET
YEAH, BECAUSE GOD WON'T LET ME
YEAH, HE STILL WANTS ME TO BE
STILL LIKE A TREE
IN THE COMMUNITY
UNLESS THE WINDS MOVES MY BRANCHES LIKE HANDS
OR GRAINS OF SAND ON THIS LAND
YEAH, GOD'S PLAN IS TO BE WITH A DISABILITY
YEAH NOT ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS
OR FLAP ALL OF MY WINGS WITHOUT HIM
BECAUSE HE IS THE KING CRAB OF REHAB
SO I MUST GRAB ON
UNTIL MY WILL IS STRONG FOR THE ROUGH STUFFF

YOU HAVE SO MUCH WORTH

i know you are probably sleep
but my feelings for you are very deep
yeah sometimes they make me wept
and that sometimes really creeps me out
that i don't want to live without you
but i have i to
in a sense
because you have a life
and i have mine
yeah sometimes we aren't intertwine
ans i feel left behind
or short of breath
without you i swear do
but my feelings are true
like the sky is blue
or like the day is new
yes you are my crew
yeah even though it is just one of you
you represent like clark kent
on earth
you have so much worth my friend
and i hope i get to see you again

WRITING IN THE SAND

some pain i cannot explain
and it's not because i feel shame
it jus' hurts to much bring it up
so yeah good luck on tryin' to get me to share
but maybe if i see that you really care for me
i will
but still
it hurts
like dirt in a cut
or an enema in the butt
but to you know what?
sometimes that is needed before you see the sunshine
or feel the rhythm in the rhyme
so i'm kinda glad whenever i do feel sad
or mad
because my heavenly dad
has a plan for all of this writing in the sand

Tornado Watch

cloudy days
are emotions mazes
for some people
but as long as i have a steeple
i'm fine
like old wine
in a barrel
yeah i'm fly like a sparrow
in the sky
no lie
or no die for me
yeah my spirit will always live like royalty
yeah even if my body says something else
yeah meaning it has no breath left in it anyone
but open up heaven's door
because my core loves God real hard
because he gave me my first start
so i drop my guard when it comes to him
yeah i swim in the water like a daughter should
yeah even if it doesn't feel so good
like a piece of wood in a finger
or like a real stinger to the soul
but life can be hot and cold
so hold on

A VERY FLAVORFUL MEAL FOR REAL

I had some good food
thanks to a really good dude
who us never rude
or crude
yes his mood is always warm
so no harm
from dusk to dawn
so i can run towards the sun
and not get burn
yeah with him i lean
yeah with him turn
and swim into the deep
until i feel asleep
and that makes me wept
tears of joy
because boy life can be like toy
which is oftentimes fake
but GOD'S LOVE IS always great

SOME COMMON COURTESY PLEASE

people seem to take my kindness for weakness
which really makes my soul scream
but it like a dream
or a nightmare
yeah it's not fair
how people don't seem to care
how i feel
yeah like my heart is steel
but it is flesh
so someone's will can kill it
with a slit from a ice-pick
or some words
or some actions
yeah i too deserve some satisfaction
or some respect
yeah because i do bleed and need
and damn i am slippery when wet

THE TRUE MEANING OF SEXY

now i'm aware that my wheelchair is not sexy
but i'm so ready to be romantically loved
yeah my heart and hands need a glove
of protection
yeah i'm ready for some affection
and some life lessons
as a wife
yeah that would be so nice
yeah like paradise to me
yeah i'n so ready to be free
yeah to have some forever company
yeah until my human will dies
yeah no more lonely cries
from my eyes
or my soul
yeah i long to feel something real
which is...
beautiful

GOD'S GIRL

so God did it again
yeah he woke up his friend
who has sin
once or twice
yeah he loves to be nice
to his sugar and spice
yeah his paradise on earth
yeah since birth...
i have woke up thousands of times
yeah with or without sunshine
but that's fine
because God didn't have to be that kind
yeah i could've woke up blind
or without a sound mind
but here i sit
in no pit
and i'm lit
like a match
listening to H.E.R.'S "Facts"
which is a really dope track
but back to what i was saying...
God don"t be playing
so with him i'm staying #WOKE

HEAVEN 24/7

HELLO 24 HOURS
YEAH HELLO APRIL SHOWERS
BRING ON GOD'S POWER
FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN
YEAH MAKE ME FORGET ABOUT WANTING A MAN TO HOLD MY HAND
AND MORE
YEAH PLEASE MAKE ME FORGET ABOUT THE INNER WARS
AND THE SORES THAT THEY HAVE CAUSED
YEAH MAKE ME FORGET ABOUT IT ALL
THAT WASN'T CALLED TO ME
YES LORD SET ME FREE
WITHOUT A KEY
YES JUST LET ME BE...
WET OR CLEAN
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
YOUR QUEEN IS TIRED
BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE FIRED
YEAH I'M GLAD THAT I WAS HIRED, DAD
BUT SOMETIMES MY MIND GETS SAD
AND MY HEART FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN HAD
WHICH IS BAD, I KNOW
BUT I'M JUST BEING HONEST THOUGH
WITH A POETIC FLOW
IN HOPES TO LOOSEN THIS ROPES
YEAH SO I CAN REALLY COPE WITH THIS CULTURE
I WAS PLACED IN
NO FATHER, I DON'T WANT SIN
I JUST WANT TO WIN
AND TO BE LET BACK IN HEAVEN 24/7

IF LIFE WAS FAIR

if life was fair
i wouldn't be in chair
yeah if life was fair
i wouldn't be me
yeah having cerebral palsy is...
very ballsy
instead
yeah even if i need...
help
taking care of myself
but my breath still works
yeah my will is still strong
yeah even if my days feel long
yeah even if my life hurts
or i feel like dirt sometimes
my heart and mind are fine
yeah my heart is kind
and THE DIVINE is...
my life line
of this grind
called u-haul
but through it all
my PA has remain true to this frame
yeah life is not a game
yeah life is not fair

GREEN

i wish i had more money
no i'm not being funny, honey
and i wish i had someone to kiss also
but i know i have all that i need for right now
but this child is being greedy like a sin
because i was born to win
because my kin Christ saved my life
more than twice
and that was very nice of him
but sometimes i still feel really stuck
with no bucks chuck
or not enough to get the stuff i want
but i don't won't to sound ungrateful clown
but i must come clean...
my inside are a little green

GRAY

cerebral palsy has been a challenge
but i am trying to find a happy balance in my mind
before my time is up here
but i'm really not clear
how to keep all of my tears inside
this bumpy ride called Earth
but my Father said my birth has worth
or else i would be dead
or would've never been a thought in God's head
but instead i was..
because he said
but for reason i still don't fully know
but i would like to...
yeah, so i could be through with this life
and move on to paradise
because sometimes my life doesn't shine
and it really hurts like a knife
yes, my heart has been sliced
but i still want to play nice
and do The Lord's will
but i still feel the way i feel everyday
which is gray

THE KING OF ALL THINGS GOOD

so here we go again my friend
yeah the Creator of sun and wind
so there's no reason to pretend
because he knows that i have sin
and still his will chose me to be
yeah just like the seas and trees on earth
yeah i have worth
yeah my birth quinces a thirst
from deep within my heavenly kinship
yeah i was meant to slipped...
out of mother and go farther than Christ got to
yeah to help you go through blue and green
you know what i mean?
yeah your scream, dreams, and in between
yeah until we see the king of all things good
yeah knock on wood
amen

emoji

i text
and hardly get a text back
man, that's wack
because i really love hard
yeah i really stopped by guard
to show that i care
and your feelings are no where to be found
so i feel like a clown
as my heart frowns
on the insides
well, so much for pride

MY ROMANTIC DREAMS

HEY SUNSHINE
HEY MY REASON TO RHYME
ABOUT ALL KINDS OF STUFF
UNTIL MY BRAIN HAS HAD ENOUGH
OR MY PAIN HAS VANISHED
OR MY FLESH IS DONE BEING MANNISH
THINKING ABOUT A SPANISH GUY
WHY?
THEY JUST SEEM SO FLY
AND I WOULD LIKE TO TRY...
SOMETHING ROMANTIC BEFORE I LEAVE THIS PLANET
PLEASE
DON'T MAKE GET ON MY KNEES
BECAUSE YOU KNOW MY LEGS CAN'T BEG
OR BEND LIKE THAT
BUT MY LOVE IS NOT WACK
IT'S JUST DIFFERENT
YEAH IT'S PURE
AND SURE
ONCE GIVEN A CHANCE TO DANCE
WITH MY ROMANTIC DREAMS

SAT-UR-DAY

so here i sit in another Saturday
but the sky is blue and not gray
so okay lets play in the sun
until the day is done
yeah lets run
until our wills get tired
man, i'm so fired up
and that's not luck
that's God in me
ooooowee
baby that's crazy
plus ten
can you feel the wind on your skin my friend?
man, i love to pretend sometimes
yeah my mind is a trip
that loves to slip away
with the help of...
wordplay
because today
i'm romantically alone
but it doesn't feel wrong
and no love song has made me cry yet
yeah my eyes are known to get wet
but as i sit here with my thoughts
i get caught up in my creative native tongue
and i just start having fun
but now i'm done, hun

THE MIDDLE LANE

so here i sit in the middle lane
yeah between joy and pain
or sunshine and rain
yeah here i sit in between a serious game
of clue
yeah i'm stuck in traffic with you
so what are we gonna do?
besides look at the blue sky
and try not to cry
or die in the process
because we are blessed
even in this mess my friend
but when will we be able to move again in the wind?
this has to be a sin
but only GOD knows
how the flow is supposed to go
in the middle

THE JOURNEY

from January to December
it feels like winter to me
but i can still see
the key
in my hand
and where i should stand
in this land
of human
thoughts
and faults
caught up with Christ
yeah the reason for my life
yeah see the blood on the knife
or the flood toxins from my liver
as i shiver in the cold
God bless my soul
and this journey
yeah until my will see a gurney
or my body sees a casket
because no i'm not plastic
i'm very much real
yeah if you touch me i will feel
but weapons do kill like steel
so i must be...
careful...
in the journey

THE DESTINATION

i see paper
i see pens
and i feel the wind on my skin
so hello friends
yeah hello poems
a.k.a beautiful storms
to perform on a stage
with no cage in sight
yeah others might like
or others might bite
but either way it's okay
yeah it's alright
because God designed my kite
and he is the pilot to my flight
yeah rather it's in the day or night
i see the light

TREAD LIGHTLY

NO MORE ROPES
NO MORE CHAINS
IN JESUS' NAME
YEAH BEING HANDCUFF IS ROUGH
AND IT IS NOT GOD'S CHOICE
OR ELSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE A VOICE
OR A BRAIN
BUT IT'S A DAMN SHAME THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL PLAYING GAMES
WITH THE LIVES THAT CHRIST DIED FOR
YEAH HE DIED FOR NO MORE WAR
WITH OPEN SORES
SO THAT THERE WOULD OPEN DOORS FOR YOU AND ME
YEAH HE DIED SO WE COULD BE FREE
SO PRISON KEYS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE
IF YOU ASK ME
NO ONE WAS BORN TO HANG FROM A TREE SERIOUSLY
YEAH NOT EVEN ON TV SHOULD WE SEE
UNLESS IT'S PART OF PAST REALITY
BUT EVEN THEN MY FRIEND...
WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL
SO LET GO
BUT TREAD LIGHTLY

LIVING SINGLE 2018

so exactly how many Wednesdays have i live through?
without you my boo
Yeah will you ever come true?
before s new Wednesday come around
or before my body goes in the ground
yeah will this wife ever be found?
yeah will a pro ever find this noun sitting down?
whose crying tears of a clown on the inside
because her pride is riding her so tough
MAN, THIS SINGLE LIFE IS SO ROUGH

hey 2

hey 2
yeah hey me you
yeah hey pink and blue
lets sink in the tub
yeah lets make some love
and then a baby
yeah lets drive each other crazy
with some lazy action
yeah some sweet satisfaction
with some great communication
yeah baby...
lets empire this nation

12:24

hours have passed
but still your last
yes it has stood the test of time
like poetry and rhyme
a hart and being kind
a cat and it's nine lives
which brings tears to my eyes
because i realize...
how blessed i am
like river dam
or some pressed-ham
to a hungry kid
and to know that i did nothing to deserve it
but you see me as worthy
of every single breath
yeah no sitting on the shelf
like a clock
or a rock
in the middle of the street
which is sweet
like a treat
in a box
or a jar
shooting-star

OLD GUSTY

i see wind as a close friend
yeah just like my skin
or my bones
yeah sometimes the wind is right
and sometimes the wind is wrong
yeah just like a love song
the wind can bring things together
or tear things apart
yeah hints, a broken heart
so we must guard ourselves
from the right and the left
like a breath to a lung
because the wind my friend is going to come
so don't run
just embrace
and pray that it only hits your face

NORAH'S REQUEST

come on clouds
open
i am tired of
hoping
for rain
because i have real pain
and real shame
that needs to be washed away today
yeah no more child's play
because my insides are gray
so come on clouds breaks
while i am awake
for goodness sake
yeah i am ready to eat cake
and ice cream
yeah i am ready to have some good dreams for a change
in this strange land of i can or i can't
yeah come on rain grow me like plant in pot
yeah rain, don't leave me here to rot in the hot sun
yeah rain come

AN EYE OPENUNG EXPERIENCE

I CLOSED MY EYES
AND TO MY SURPRISE
IT WAS MORNING AGAIN
YEAH IT BLOW IN LIKE THE WIND
OR CREEP UP ON ME LIKE SIN
ON A SAINT
BUT NO COMPLAINTS
BECAUSE I WOKE UP ON THIS SIDE
YEAH, TIME FOR ANOTHER RIDE OR EARTH
YEAH ANOTHER BREATH IS...
A BIRTH
OR A THIRST FOR WATER
SO THANK YOU FATHER
FOR ANOTHER OPEN DOOR

THE THINGS I THINK ABOUT IN MY HEAD

RIGHT NOW I'M THINKING ABOUT KISSING SOMEONE
OR TAKING A RUN TOWARDS THE SUN
BECAUSE I'M DONE PRETENDING
THAT I DON'T FEEL REAL EMOTIONS
LIKE AN OCEAN
ON THE SAND
YEAH I CRAVE A MAN'S HAND
IN MINE
AND FOR HIM TO WANNA SPEND TIME
MAKING MY FACE SHINE
WITH HIS KIND WAYS
OF HORSEPLAY
AND BRAINSTORMING
YEAH WE CREATE ANOTHER MEANING OF...
GLOBAL WARMING
SO ENOUGH SAID
MAN, THE THINGS I THINK ABOUT IN MY HEAD

SERIOUSLY IN LOVE

LOVE IS NOT GAME
YEAH TO LOVE SOMEONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN
AND NOTHING TO ASHAMED OF
OR RUN FROM
BECAUSE LOVE IS FROM THE KINGDOM
WHERE DIAMOND RINGS AND OTHER BEAUTIFUL THINGS REALLY COME FROM
YES LIKE THE SUN
AND THE SKY
SO GIVE LOVE A TRY
BEFORE YOU SAY GOODBYE
YEAH BEFORE YOU DIE
WHY?
BECAUSE LOVE IS GREAT
AND WORTH THE WAIT
LIKE A BIRTH
WHICH IS REALLY UNREHEARSED
BUT LOVE QUICHES GOD'S THIRST
BECAUSE HE THOUGHT OF IT FIRST
BECAUSE HE IS LOVE

BEING BORED IS A JOKE

GOOD MORNING, LORD
I'M ALREADY BORED
BUT I'M ALREADY BLESSED
BECAUSE I WOKE UP
AFTER A NIGHT'S REST
SO GUESS WHAT?
MY BUTT SHOULDN'T BE BORED
THAT'S RIGHT, I CAN'T AFFORD TO JUST SIT AROUND
UN-FOUND PUPPY
YEAH BECAUSE LORD, YOU REALLY LOVE ME
AND YOU ARE ALWAYS THINKING OF ME CONSTANTLY
LIKE A CAR STUCK IN TRAFFIC
YEAH YOU KNOW ME TELEPATHICALLY
AND GRAPHICALLY AS WELL
SO LORD, THERE'S NO SECRETS TO TELL
SO I GUESS, ALL IS WELL
BECAUSE I'M NOT IN HELL
AND I DON'T EVEN SMELL SMOKE
SO BEING BORED IS A JOKE

MENTALLY

i slept a little
because i thought a lot
yeah my brain is working
and my blood is hot
and floods ever so smooth
yeah no clots
my blood moves like a monkey in the jungle
yeah my heart beats
but it's humble
with no stumble
but it can crumble like a cookie
because i'm human
not because i'm a rookie
to THE ROCK
because HIS love needs sops
being around
the lost are found
because HE me and the ground
i stand on
yes right or wrong
i have a home
in HIS arms
that are always warm
so storms don't really bother me
as long as i stay under GOD'S family tree
or in the SEA of Galilee mentally

SEE MY HUMANITY

HEY LOVE
HEY DOVE
AND ALL OF ABOVE
MY HEART FITS LIKE A GLOVE IN THE SKY
ON THE MOST HIGH'S HAND
BUT ON THIS LAND CALLED EARTH
YEAH THE SECOND PLACE OF MY BIRTH
BECAUSE LOVE I WAS ON YOUR MIND FIRST
YEAH LOVE, YOU THIRSTED FOR ME SPIRITUALLY
BEFORE THE WORLD COULD SEE MY HUMANITY

MY HEART HAS PLENTY OF ROOM

GOD TAKE ME OVER
YEAH LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER
AND BECOME MY BEHOLDER
AND MY CLOVER OF LIGHT
IN MY DARKEST NIGHT
OF THIS WORLD
YES PLEASE BE WITH YOUR GIRL

BECAUSE OF ALL IT CAN DO
WITH ITS OWN PIT-CREW
THANKS TO YOU

I SEE GOD EVERYWHERE

i see god everywhere
yeah on my skin
and in my hair
and yes even in my wheelchair
because just having one shows me that he care
yes he the circle to my square
or the apple to my pear
yeah god is everywhere
i swear
he is in the air
yeah he is the breeze
and he is the leaves
on the trees
and the bone in my knees

he is my whole body
yeah even my so called naughty parts
yeah he is the beat to my heart
and the steps to my feet
yeah he is my hands
and my reach
so he is my mouth
and my speech
so preach
yea i'm blessed
and i see it
everywhere

WE ALL WOKE UP TODAY

i woke up again
but some of my friends did not
stop, yes they did
just not here
they went to place with no fear
or tears
yeah after they spent some years here
drinking bears
let me stop with the mic drop
because i'm just kidding
with the ones i love
who are now up above
the world so high
yeah higher than the stars in the sky
because the people i'm thinking about
didn't even drink all that much
and how did i know so?
because we constantly stayed in touch
and now my chest i clutch
because i'm blessed
and they were put to rest
so i guess we all woke up today

CHRIST STILL REIGNS

why guys don't like me?
i don't know
but God loves me so...
much
so my heart has been touched
yeah even if i'm lonely for a hommie
lover
or a friend
the wind is still gonna blow
doutcha know
yeah just like my blood is still gonna flow
and brain is still gonna grow
so off with my pain
because CHRIST STILL REIGNS

GOD IS SO TRUE

it's another day
to be gay
meaning hap-pay
if i choose
or sing the blues
or become the news
in my mind
or in the sunshine
of the kinda people
that believe in the steeple
per say
or in having a better day
or a better world
for our boys and girls
yeah our golden apples
and our black pearls
oh what a beautiful swirl
yeah like dreads locks and curls
in africa
and america too
man the ocean is so blue
and my spirit is feels so new
because GOD IS SO TRUE

I'M JUST SAYING

this just might be my last light
yeah this just might be my flight
with a kite
or my last bite with an apple
yeah i might just go see the capital tonight
but not by choice
yeah i just might hear God's voice through the earthly noise
yeah i just might see that white horse v
coming for me
or a grate partly like the red sea
but wait, please know that i would be fine
in fact if this was my last rhyme
because my eyes are no longer blind
and my spirit is stronger
like an organ donor's recipient
so i would be cool with it if that was the case
because i would see God's face
and taste some good grace firsthan
and man. i'm just saying that would be okay today

IN MYSELF

GOD
HERE I STAND
IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR PLAN
OR IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL
YES ALL THAT IS YOU
OR IN ALL THAT YOU DO
YES IN THE BLUE SKY
AND GREEN EARTH
YES I SEE YOUR WORTH
IN BIRTHS
YES IN BREATHS
AMD DEATH
YES IN THE LEFT BEHIND
I CAN STILL SEE THE SUNSHINE
IN THE BLIND
AND THE DEAF
YES I CAN SEE YOU IN MYSELF
AMEN

GOD.

it is not god's will
for us to take a pill
it is not god's will for us to cheap trills
or restless sleep
preach
because if it was...
that is not love
and that is all god is
yes he or she is all about good biz
yes he or she is a wiz
at wisdom
and worth
and birth
and no more hungry
or thirst
yeah he or she
puts us first
yes an unrehearsed verse
walking on earth
talking on earth
yes as a blessing
and not a curse
period

?

i see sun
and i see fun
in buttered bun
so don't run
until the food is done
and then one by one
man can fix his plate
yeah that would be great
but at the state we are in
we don't like to wait on our friends
or our kin
so i ask you when...
will we see chivery?
constantly
like a fruitful tree
from the powers that be
meaning you and me
but heavenly speaking
yeah when will we start reaching for the end?
because showing love is not a sin
so again i ask when...
will the world really spin?
for our boys and girls

I'M LOOKING FOR SUPERMAN

i'm looking for mr. raspy
yeah i'm looking for the great Gatsby
to ask me out
and to make me shout for more
yeah more love
not war
yeah man with an open door
meaning heart
from start to finish
yeah i want someone who like to have fun
but will stay pass the day when the blemishes come
yeah i want a man who won't run
without me by his side
or will let me ride
if the mission calls for car
yeah we shall go far
like a shooting star
yeah i'm looking for superman

A MILLION REBIRTHS

another day
yay another way
to move
and groove
for god
so life is not hard
because christ's life
paid of my debt card
so yeah i should think smart
because i have a beating heart
which is my bodyguard
for real
but i'm not made of steel
but i am made of will
and i am grateful
for my blood-flow
and i must thank the guy i trust
yeah the most high
in the sky
and on earth
for my million rebirths

or no stealing, God willing
yeah this is my feeling
or my hope
because i'm really woke
yeah your water just broke

THANKS FOR MY BIRTH
AND FOR MY THIRST
FOR VERSES
YEAH MY UNEARTHLINESS
WHILE ON THIS LAND OF SAND
AND ROCK
YEAH NONE STOP
HIP HOP
ON THE CLOCK
OF CREATION
HOLY NATION
BUT I DON'T CHANGE THE STATION
NO I LISTEN
BECAUSE I'M ON A MISSION
YEAH I'M IN THE KITCHEN
SO LET GO EAT
SOMETHING SAVORY AND SWEET
BECAUSE ANOTHER DAY IS A TREAT
AMEN

I OWE YOU EVERYTHING

GOOD AFTERNOON GOD
HOW IS IT IN HEAVEN?
YES HOW DOES MY 24/7S LOOK?
IN YOUR BIG BOOK LIFE
YEAH THANK YOU CHRIST
FOR YOUR SACRIFICE
WHO PUT ME THERE IN THE AIR
WHEN HE SHOW ME THAT HE CARED
YEAH HE SHARED HIS BLOOD
AND TOOK ON MY PAIN
IN THE POURING RAIN
BUT ONLY I GRAINED
OR SO IT SEEMS
YEAH I WALKED AWAY WITH THE CHAMPIONSHIP RING
AND A PRAISE TO SING
YEAH WHILE I FLAB MY WINGS
FOR YOU KING
BECAUSE I OWE YOU EVERYTHING
AMEN

THERE'S NO SIN IN CRYING

my day isn't complete
unless i share something deep
before i go to sleep
so sometimes i wept
and i don't know why
yeah sometimes i cry
from deep inside
because of this ride called life
yeah i cry because of christ love and sacrifice
and the world mistreatment of your girl, right here
yeah i cry out of thankfulness and fear
but god is near and he wraps away every single tear that comes out of me
so you see
i wouldn't be
here
or me
if i didn't share
where i have been
up until now
child
i have been in the wind
with my friend
and back again
but there's no sin in...
crying
just lying about it
because we would all die without doing so
let go
yeah let the eye-water flow

BUTTERFLY

go away sadness
and come in gladness
yeah help drown out this madness
which is my life
because CHRIST died
so i could have a joyride
inside
myself
yeah with every breath i breathe
i should always believe
in better
yeah even in bad weather
so get it together
yeah smile
because you are God's child
yeah meaning you have his style
in your stomach
so don't you dare plummet
in your pain
because your frame has his name
all over it
so switch your pitch to high
and fly

MY WHY

why should i whine when you are doing fine?
Why should i grieve when God chose you to leave?
I believe it's because i love
and i'm human
which means i'm partially ruin
but i'm still pursuing God's Will
for me
constantly
yes because i long to see
heaven in front of me
on Earth
and the actual place
yes i want to really see grace
and taste the best honey and milk
and feel real silk and gold
yeah i really want to soak my soul
in my father's water
and wisdom
which is really one in the same
yeah the true holy name
the picture and frame
the paper and the pen
the sun and the wind
the friend and the kin
in the sky
my why

SO WISH ME LUCK

ooo he's cute
and he's wearing that blue suit
with those suede boots
yummy, honey
i wish i could talk to him
and we could take a swim
in the love pool
but i don't wanna come off sounding like a fool
and drowning in my own drool
but he is cool
and i am me
and maybe one day
we could see
a movie together
when this weather
clears up
so wish me luck

WELCOME TOMORROW

so i made it to another day
okay
yeah tomorrow came for me
obviously
yes mu eyes can see
and my ears can hear clear
and my heart beats with no fear
yeah because God stayed near
yeah that's right
God stayed the night
and i slept tight
like a light in a socket
or like keys in a pocket
or a rocket in the sky
yeah i no how to fly
and glow
so welcome tomorrow

STAY STILL

just listen
and stay still
because GOD'S WILL is about work
yeah even if it hurts
stay still
and let his pill work
in you
yeah, let pass through
every single part of your heart
yeah, from start to finish
just stay that way
because after all you are GOD'CLAY
of perfection
so until his second Resurrection
stay still
because GOD LOVES
and doesn't kill
anything good
since he died on the wood
the first time
so the sun would shine
for eternity
so trust me
stay still
for now

COME IN SUN

come in sun
and light my place
yeah, come in sun
and warm my face
wow, i see and taste grace
whenever i see you come through
my blinds
so i'm fine
for the time you are here
because i can see so clear
like water
and pure like my heavenly father
so come in my friend
yeah come in like the wind
which is quick
and easy
and breezy as in cool
yeah your light makes me drool
like a fool on april 1
and i thirst for more
of you
my boo
my guiding sun

pow

MR.MINGLE

R.E.M.
yeah let me swim
until my vision goes dim
and i'm dreaming

'cause i can hear myself screaming
and breathing hard
and boy, i don't wanna disregard the joy
i'm feeling right now
'cause this is so wild
and real to me
but in reality
nothin' has happen to me
yeah, i'm still single
and lookin' for mr. mingle
to make me tingle

Olympian

good morning god
good morning time
good morning, sunshine
so glad i'm not blind, dad
and i'm not sad, right now
because i know that i am your child
with a growl
and a style
all my own
yeah, like a song
yeah, once a mind is blown
or something known
it's over
or just beginning
yeah, i'm winning
like an Olympian

LORD

LORD,
i close my eyes
and i take a breath
because i can
all by myself
sike, i can because the father light
and love
and hands in gloves
and feet in shoes
and the good in news
and so i use...
every single thing that you gave me
because you saved me
my lord
so i can't afford
to waste time
or my mind
so sun shine
or night fall
LORD, i thank you for it all

GOD

you are the only voice
i need to hear
in my ear
loud and clear
or close and near
yeah, like rapper and bars
or mechanic ans cars
or the sky and stars
which you are in all of these things
like birds and wings
or vocal cords that sings
and brings praise to you
but you do deserve it, too
because you are love
you are truth
you are proof
yes, you are the roof
meaning you are the top,pop

Why,,Me, Daddy?

i dreamed of rage
and now i'm staring at a blank page
but not for long
because the feeling of "why" is...
too strong
and wrong
in my opinio
because i'm supposed to have...
dominion over everything
yeah, even my dreams
so no cries or screams
should come out me
yeah, i'm supposed to all good
because CHRIST hung on that wood
so that i could sleep well
and not go to Hell
in real life
nor in my dreams
so why did i die last night?

i wanna cry

i wanna cry
'cause people die
yeah, i wanna cry
'cause people leave me to grieve them
yeah, to sink or swim in tears
of memories
had
and sadly no lived
so please give
me a tissue
before i start to miss you
'cause i do wanna cry
right now

THE TREE

i can't get enough of GOD
and he can't get enough me
yeah, i am a branch
and he is the tree
you see
growing me
supernatural
on Earth
since birth
but he was first
and foremost
yeah he is the reason for my growth
yeah, for my fruit
because he is the root
to my beer
yes, he is crystal to my clear
to my sky
yeah, he is the apple
to my eye
and the peach to my...
cobbler
holla, at my tree
if you wanna be happy...
like me

THE ROUTE

GOD, I KNOW MUST TRUST
THIS RIDE ON THE BUS
CALLED EARTH
YEAH, BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE WORTH
BUT FIRST, I MUST HUNGER AND THIRST
AFTER YOU
YEAH, TO GET ME THROUGH
THIS TUNNEL
OR FUNNEL
OF FRUSTRATION
IN THIS NATION
BUT FATHER THIS IS YOUR STATION
YES, YOUR CREATION
SO LETS GO
YEAH LETS RIDE
INTO THE SUNSET
AND GET LOST, BOSS
IN EACH OTHER'S WORLD
BECAUSE I'M YOUR GIRL
AND YOU ARE MY DAD
SO NO REASON TO BE SAD
BECAUSE YOU HAD THIS ALL PLANNED OUT
YEAH, YOU KNOW THE ROUTE

FOREVER RONNIE

i'm sitting here thinking about my first best-friend
yeah the who went in the wind
years ago
but i do still miss her so
and i want her to know
that even if she didn't get to grow up like me
i still think about what would be
yes, Ronnie
my life hasn't been all sunny or funny
but i'm still here, Honey
missing you
going through life
here
while you are in Paradise
there
but i still care
i swear
i do
so hugs and kisses
to you
my first best-friend +ever

TO DIE FOR

i can't stand a blank piece of paper
but, no worries, when no man wants to date ya
a black piece of paper will never be
that way around me for long
yeah my think-tank is strong
like a bull
and my heart is full
but not for long
because i right on
and pull stuff out of me that maybe shouldn't be written down
but something i'm crazy like a clown
or feel real insane in this disable frame
called body
but nobody can stop me
when i be behind a keyboard
yeah forget the awards
i write because my nights are bored
or my heart is lonely
and my feelings are never phony, homie
so yeah you can never clone me
emotionally at least
but whenever i write
i see a bright light
so i might be in heaven

FLOAT MY BOAT

so here i go
listening to love songs again
yeah wrong are right
i like them
yeah, even if i don't have a him
to sing to
yeah, my heart gets a little blue
but what's a girl to do
beside listen to music
but i use it
to move me
to be the person
y'all see
so honestly
music is the right key
and i am the right note
yeah together we float each other's boat

VERY INSIGHTFUL

I CAN SEE
SO I CAN BE ANYTHING
LIKE A BIRD WITH WING
OR A CHICK THAT SINGS
REALLY WELL
YEAH, I CAN BE HEAVEN OR HELL
OR EARTH
BUT EITHER WAY, I HAVE WORTH
AND A THIRST
FOR SOMETHING
YEAH, MY SIGHT AIN'T FOR NOTHING
YEAH, IT'S LIKE CHICKEN AND STUFFING
WHICH IS GOOD
LIKE STRONG WOOD
YEAH, OAK, FLOCKS
OR LIKE STEVE HARVEY'S JOKES
SO PLEASE DON'T POKE ME
IN THE EYEBALLS
I WANNA SEE...
ALL
THAT GOD HAS...
FOR ME

I'M BLIND

GOOD MORNING
GLOBAL WARNING
YEAH GOOD WORLD
I AM STILL A GIRL
WITH A SWIRL OF WOMANHOOD

BECAUSE IT'S THE HOLY GHOST
THAT PUT ME HERE
WITH A CLEAR VISION
YEAH, SO I LISTEN
SOMETHINGS
YEAH, BECAUSE SOMETHINGS I LOSE MIND
BUT HE NEVER LEAVES ME BEHIND
BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT I'M BLIND

HOLY H2O

every-time i drink water
i taste my heavenly father
for sure
yeah something clean
and purely
for me
as though i was flowing in the sea of Galilee
or jumped in Niagara Falls
yeah i wish i could drink it all
but i can't
because i might break the tank
which is me
but honestly
i need all i can take
to wake me up
like a cup of coffee
does most people
but i want the steeple
in liquid form
ooo, that taste nice and warm

THE ALMIGHTY UNIVERSE

HEY TODAY
YEAH HEY BLUE AND GRAY SKY
PLEASE DON'T PASS ME BY
BECAUSE I DO HONOR YOU

IN THE TIME I HAVE
YES, I TRY TO GRAB...
EVERY SINGLE MOMENT

SINK OR SWIM
FAT OR SLIM

FROM UP ABOVE
YES, THE ALMIGHTY UNIVERSE

BE BLESSED AMERICA

I REALLY LOVE OUR AMERICAN FLAG
BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY HEAVENLY DAD
AND IT'S SAD THAT OTHERS DON'T FEEL THE SAME
BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE US OUR FRAME
OUR NAME
AND OUR GAIN
BUT STILL MOST ACT LIKE HIS WELL...
WAS IN VAIN
WHICH IS A SHAME
BECAUSE HE GAVE UP HIS SON
SO IT WASN'T A GAME
FOR HIM
SO WE SHOULD ALL SWIM
YES WE SHOULD ALL MOVE
TO A MUCH HIGHER GROVE
BUT NOT TO PROVE OURSELVES
BUT TO THANK GOD FOR OUR BREATH

WHICH IS CAREFREE
BECAUSE TRUST ME
HE CAN SEE
FARTHER THAN WE

BECAUSE THIS WORLD IS DYING SO FAST
AND WE AS A PEOPLE WERE CREATED TO LAST
WAY PAST OUR PRIME
AND WITH A SOUND HEART AND MIND
SO YEAH REALLY DEFYING TIME
ON EARTH
YEAH BECAUSE ONCE WE KNOW OUR WORTH
WE CAN DO THAT
UNTIL CHRIST COME BACK
ON EARTH
YEAH TO CREATE A NEW BIRTH
BUT FIRST WE ALL NEED TO THIRST FOR MORE
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN A WAR THAT IS KILLING US
YES MINUS NOT PLUS
BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY SEEM TO TRUST
GOD
SO LIFE IS ROUGH
LIKE SANDPAPER
BECAUSE PEOPLE HATE YA
JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR SKIN
WHEN WE WERE ALL SENT HERE TO LOVE
FROM ABOVE
YES LIKE A HAND TO GLOVE
BUT MAN WENT AGAINST GOD'S PLAM
AND NOW HERE WE STAND IN QUICKSAND
BE WE CAN STILL WILL OURSELVES OUT LIKE SPOUT

HANG 10

my heart feels sad
but that's not a bad thing
because GOD brings me wings of grace
that taste like tears
and feels like water
because that's just how much he loves me, his daughter
yes, the one who has done wring
but still has a song in heart
yes, as i try to depart from sin
and talk to mountains and winds
him and i are as close as friends can be
yes, like a branch and tree
or a door and a key
or a knob
so no i can't not rob
my heart
or my eyes
from realizing the emotion of sadness
because just like the waves in the ocean change
in a strange way
will because gladness
one day

OUTREACH

GOD YOU GIVE US MONEY TO SPEND
AND TIME TOO
SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
YES, HOW SHOULD WE SERVE YOU?
WITH IT
YEAH, HOW SHOULD WE SPLIT IT?
YEAH BECAUSE ANOTHER DAY IS A FIRE LIT
YEAH ANOTHER BREATH IS ANOTHER SWITCH
OR ANOTHER PITCH TO SING YOUR HYMN
OR TO SWIM
IN YOUR RIVER
YEAH WHICH MAKES MY SOUL SHIVER
BUT I'M NOT COLD
IN FACT, I'M WARM AND WHOLE
BUT LORD, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN CONTROL
SO I KNOW WHATEVER I SPEND
YES HOW AND WHEN
SHOULD NEVER BE A SIN
YEAH BECAUSE MY FRIEND
AND MY CLOSEST KIN
I KNOW THAT I WASN'T MEANT TO STAY IN THE LION'S DEN

NEVER BE ASHAMED OF FEELING PAIN

MAN, I KNOW PAIN REALLY WELL
YEAH, THE STORIES I COULD TELL
YEAH ABOUT ALL OF THE TIMES I FELL
YEAH THE SMELL OF BLOOD
AND MY TEARS FLOW LIKE A FLOOD
YES WHAT A MUDDY MESS I MUST CONFESS
BUT I'M STILL BLESSED
YES MY PAIN HAS TURNED INTO RAIN
AND YOU KNOW THAT RAIN MAKES THINGS GROW
YES O SO BEAUTIFUL
YES FROM ROOT TO FRUIT
YES FROM UGLY TO CUTE
OR FROM DARK TO MONEY

MUSIC IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

i was feeling sad
so my dad said put some music on
to make strong
and make you last long
yeah girl, clear your head before you go to bed
because my blood is red
and your veins are blue
so do what you need to do
to pursue happiness
or joy
because boy, i love you girl
yes, more than this world
so go ahead my pearl, and play your favorite music today
yes, to wrap away the gray
or navy in your eyes
because i have seen your cries
and heard your lies
yes, when you tell people you're well
but feel like hell
or like you're in jail
with no chance of parole
but you know what?
you were born to dace
because my love, music is good for the soul

DYING INSISE

I'M TRYING TO LET YOU GO
BUT THE PROCESS IS GOING SO SLOW
YEAH AS I BLOW MY NOSE
I SUPPOSE
I CHOSE THIS LIFE
WHEN I CHOSE CHRIST
BUT I DON'T MIND THE SACRIFICE
OF MY TEARS
AND MY YEARS
BECAUSE HE SACRIFICED HIS BODY FOR ME
YES HE SACRIFICED A FLOOD OF BLOOD FOR ME
SO YOU SEE I AM TRYING
BUT I AM DYING INSIDE

I NEED PROOF

LOVERS AND FRIENDS
ARE BLESSINGS AND SINS
ALL ROLLED IN ONE
SO SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I RUN?
TOWARDS THE SUN
AND GET BURN
OR SHOULD I JUST SIT BACK AND LEARN
AS THE WORLD TURNS
LIKE A WORM
OR A BUTTERFLY
BECAUSE I HATE LIES
BUT I LOVE THE TRUTH
YES I NEED PROOF

DISBELIEF

man it's so sad when bad things happen
yeah, you wonder where was the captain?
yeah, the creator of lovers
and not haters
yeah because i thought he was greater
than friends and stronger than wind
but once again
another kin has been lost
and tossed to the side
while the guilty party just ride by
still able to say hi
while another mother cries
and another son dies
and another community is left with a whole bunch of whys
and lies

KNOCK ON THE CROSS

GOD I SEE YOU WORKING
AND YOU KNOW WHEN I'M HURTING
SO I'M GOOD
KNOCK ON WOOD
YES KNOCK ON THE CROSS
YES BECAUSE OF LOVE
I'M NO LONGER LOST
AND I'M STRONGER
YEAH BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH ME
YEAH BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FORGET ME
AND BECAUSE OF THAT...
I STILL BE
ON EARTH
YES LORD
I STILL HAVE WORTH
YES YOUR WILL STILL LIVES IN ME
SO I AM TRULY FREE
OOOOWEEEE
