When Rap Was One Big Rugged Family

When Rap Was One Big Rugged Family There was a time when rap was one big rugged family and I miss it. From the mid 90’s to the mid 2000’s there was a major flux of rappers becoming CEO’s and getting distribution deals that gave them their own label. I am going to give praise…

Skyscrapers

Skyscrapers 10.13.15 I said I love you. From there everything broke down There was no going back There was no going forward Build or destroy Empires have been built on less Revolutions have started over fewer words Theories of the blueprint We became architecture.

Lately.

  Lately 10.13.15 As of late, do I cross your mind? When you think about the summertime. When you think about them Fall mornings or those Winter nights. What about those Spring afternoons that were full of delight. I got a million reasons to love you every season. Lately my friend. I’ve been saying “I…

Possibly

Possibly. 10.8.15 You do your thing I’ll do mine Maybe… Maybe we’ll meet somewhere down this complicated line Maybe when you’re a little older Maybe when I’m a little different But also… Maybe not I don’t put my faith in maybes

Troposphere

Troposphere.  9.10.15 I wish you were a cloud. So beautiful as they do nothing I could lay for hours and appreciate Both science and art they transform so gracefully into whatever my imagination need them to be Whatever the season no matter the company, they remain steady.

Things We Found In The Fire.

Things We Found In The Fire 9.10.15 Some things aren’t meant to be saved some things are meant to burn. What we lost in the fire is everything we don’t deserve. From the smoke and the ashes come 9/11 theories and reminders of the Phoenix from the ones we chose to bury. Demons are our…

Turth Or Drink.

Turth or Drink 8.17.15 In a dark room sitting alone is truth. He has been there for awhile now. All alone by himself waiting to have a conversation. It’s not that he is hiding, it’s just no one is looking for him. Truth is sobering and everyone prefers to drink. He honestly thinks everyone forgot…

H.E.R Fear of Commitment

H.E.R. Fear of Commitment 8.16.15 She knew he would drop for women who always lived like it was fall, but smelled like it was summer when the leaves did their autumn dance.

Art.

Art.  7.18.15 She spoke. I listened. She said. “Do whatever comes natural” And I wanted to reply “Everything that involves you” Instead I just gave a glance held her tight then replied “okay” From that point our night turned into a conversation about all our anythings and theories of infinite possibilities In the back of…

To Kill A Caged Bird.

To Kill A Caged Bird 7.16.15 Where I’m from they force the caged birds to not sing. For the fear that their songs might turn to screams. They take beauty away from queens. Not saying it’s fair, it’s real. No peace keepers. Just tortured minds equipped with weapons that cause mothers to have nightmares. You…

Views.

Views.  I think we could be stars. I look up at the night sky and see everything we are. I envision tomorrow and see everything we could be. I never was one to predict the future so who knows when my I will become a We. I just know I see things. I see names…
