Update 05/31/2010 – I finally got around to doing some audio for this, maybe it’ll help you feel the words even more 🙂 I used a free beat from Mr. Smiff called “Down N Out” These words are free, so get em while they hot Cuz if you wait too long you’re gonna miss ’em when they’re not These words are me, just in case yo ass forgot They were lifted from my spirit and they mated with the block These words can be the seeds that start a brand new crop Let them grow within your mind and be […]

Militainment
Militainment Believing in but never seeing The Heathen, a lesser demon It’s scheming on my soul It’s infrequent but never leaving Ether bleeding out of my pores My spirit leaking Soaked into the Earths rotted core A saddened creature A battered preacher How to die, the radicals teach us Students teaching the teachers And they dying to reach us Why is it that we shackle ourselves Then cry for freedom Metaphorically speaking Our hearts are terminally weakened Infirmaries are full of the lives we have forsaken Mating with injustice and giving birth to complacence Strangle life choke off our health, […]
Take Me Home
Take Me Home Thick Newport smoke filters through every pore of my universe Choking every verse spoken and coughing they burst From my mind where they birthed through my mouth till it hurts Cause my vocals are burned by the heat Spilling forth from the womb that is thought Though its god is the Word of the sea springing up Giving form to the soul and the features of such That have flown through the blood pumping beat Take me home for I die and never could see How the firefly mimics the soul and I keep On hoping to […]
On Death
On Death It came one night and told me From beneath a cowl of utter night Starless and stark its smile spread And chilled me like the thought of death Nihility it muttered and Nothingness it said While saying nothing As the one hand That clapped Echoing in my skull Lonely and alone Hungry to atone To that which lies beyond my sight Upon an empty throne Deliver me I cried to night Save me from the flood Of emptiness and nothingness That lies to flower’s bud For to bloom like seasons lost And come again too soon Only to […]
Reflections aka Mirrors Redux
Reflections aka Mirrors Redux (a re-imagining of Mirrors) Fortune told like mirrors reflect Life in continuance Stuck in perpetual innocence Without the benefits Waters that flow A rapid repetitiveness Sea of life dying From lack of intelligence Drinking to sate But that thirst he will never quench As man drains the Gaia fountain While searching for better gifts Fortune like mirrors Disguises benevolence Or reveals his malevolence True image is reticent For the truth is three sided Translucent and elegant An illusion disguised As a proof that’s Heaven sent But the truth of the truth Is that truth is irrelevant […]
Plaintive Waters
Plaintive Waters Test the waters The surface breaks Ripples are the daughters Of the stone as it sinks Into the river Reflections of vain beauty Narcissus shivers In the presence Of detection of his sins Making of him Man the Lesser Manic depressive To drown sinking stone Return to the essence Aphrodite born from the waves Every mans mistress Chasing her until the grave Divination of the question That is whispered to the air And to the gods There is no answer And to man there is no reason So he closes up his mind And in his rhyme can […]
A Need To Fall In Love
A Need to Fall in Love And she looked at me Right into these two browns And Said Child, You need to fall in love Well Well Well I’ve started love I’ve finished love I’ve learned how words Can diminish love I’ve followed roads To the ends of love To make a long story short I’ve been in love I was in love I’m still in love This diamond ring on my pinky Used to be on her I wasn’t birthed by love I was cursed by love I know that look in her eyes When I hurt my love […]
Dilemma
Dilemma After telling him I was broke Had no car and no job And couldn’t get one without the other He turned to me with that slight grin That never leaves his face “Nigga, you better sell that neem” Neem being a word used for crack of course Funny story behind that but at the moment Not so important Just remember That every now and then The language shifts New metaphors For the same life Gotta keep it fresh He goes on to tell me my life’s story “Son,” He says “You are the only person That doesn’t touch the […]
