Dear Melody
I still have street dreams
As blissful as sweet whispers
I think she's a good kisser
See that girl
Rocked my world
Much like a bus driver
Mentally somewhere between pain and pleasure
For all of my poetic love rants
I think between all this and all that
I've covered everyone
Hello
Goodbye
I'm starting over
Starting fresh
In pursuit of something new
I won't ever forget any of you
But believe me I'm moving on
Without any of you
Time for me to be happy
No angels crying
Mothers or Fathers dying
Yes I'm going thru the rolodex
And no matter how much I have pondered
A bullet path
Eventually
I'd cry at the trajectory
Cause even if it didn't hit me
It still hit me
No more dark nights
For the Dark Knight
Still searching for my eternal
My destination
Place to call home
Call this my letter to all my children
It's time for you to leave the nest
Other is gone
Poetic and LBx
They too have left
No not an intervention
I'm doing better now
So that's why I can let you all go
Be free
Show the world the old me
Prepare them for the new me

My dear, sweet child
To my future child
Who I have yet to know
I wish I knew what to tell you
In case my touch you'd never know
Or what if your face was never shown
Life's cruel joke
My hope is you never grow up in the same world as me
Don't be quick to judge
I'll tell you what I mean
13 years ago today
On a bright September day
I, your father, was sitting in a classroom at Hayes
I'd be going home soon
As my teachers were protesting their wage
We were escorted out of class
Without ever turning a page
A plane had just been hijacked
And crashed into a tower
At that very moment
We were no longer a superpower
Now a second plane
Then a second and third building
NYC in chaos
As I left school packed on the bus
I felt scared for your aunt
Hopefully not run out of luck
That she just became an officer in blue
And today that day she'd pay her dues
Along with so many others that did their best
To reunite families
Who felt holes in their chest
As the uncertainty kept eating at us all
I your father sat in a hall
After I checked in and knew my family was safe
I left the apartment
Walked around and paced
Standing beside myself
No longer wishing to see the news
It was too much to bear
I began feeling blue
Fast forward 13 years later
Now twice that age
And as I write to you
On this paper
I'll tell you
We've come so far yet taken so many steps back
Detroit is a forgotten city
Our heroes in blue have targets on their back
Where once we were united
We now have never been more divided
On the brink of yet another war
Yet there's constant battles on the home front
I don't know whether to keep you indoors
Or just watch how your brought up
None of this is to scare you
Please believe me and trust
I just want to prepare you for what lies ahead
So that one day I can see you grow old
And tuck your own children safe into bed.
Who I have yet to know

That Girl Pt 1
I fell in love
I am in love
She brings me love
The only girl I've ever loved
Is her
Our love is forever
I've loved her since the day I heard her
Saw her
Smelled her
Breathed her into myself
I'm not the only one who loves her
But I still place nothing above her
She's sharing and caring
Despite all the surrounding talk
I love the way she walks
She gives me a pulse
She is my pulse
She's my muse
My Eve
My rib
She is apart of me
I've loved her since before I met her
I just heard her
And I loved her
She lifts me up
Brings me down
But never lets me plummet
She is my breath
My air
My light
My sight
My vision
I will carry her on my back
But like footprints in the sand
She carries me
My whole life has changed
Since you came in
I knew since then
You were that special woman
I'm so in love
So deep in love
I'm addicted to you
I need you
You never left my side
But now that I know I love you
I'll never let you
Because I love you
You mother of my children
Which I've only seen through my words
And you've created me yourself
Oedipal complex
What next
Then I'd say you've done it to and with many
I'm not the only one
But I love you
The way you sound
The way you think
The way you make me move
As I groove because of you
Having me dance while no one is around
I love you
I'm your body
I am you incarnate
Love not fate
Because I've always loved you
And your style
Your profile
Makes my thoughts run wild
You’re my taboo
I see you
But can't be with just you
I have to share you with the world
I want you tattooed to me
Inscribed in me
I want you
And only you
The only girl I've ever loved
With a message from above
Regardless of your past
I'm glad you’re here now
That angelic sound
You make me smile
Yes I'm in love with a girl
The only woman I'd ever love
And her name is
Hip Hop
Times
This is a troubled world a troubled times
Men breaking there back just to get a dime
When the man laughs at you from your corner office
People begging on the corner
"A penny? A nickel? A dime?"
Man these are some hard times
I see so much pain in the eyes of all my brothers and sisters
Still wondering if they'll even have dinner
Uncle Sam did give us a check but it bounced
Now my brothers and sisters can't go that good route
We want to see the shining light at the end of the tunnel
They left us looking at the sun through a funnel
Man these are some hard times
Guys work three jobs and still don't get by
Why can't we see the silver lining?
Cause our love is out shining?
Sometimes it's not the hard times
Just the troubled times
That makes our children of mother earth want to kill one another
There goes another homicide
Oh brother brother

"Go Back" (Unfinished Project)
I wish I can change
I wish I can go back
To the days of the fitteds and throwbacks
I wanna go back to when times were good
When my block was my block and not my hood
Go back to days when steel aint poke at ya
When music was changed by rappers
Remember the days before his 9 shots
Remember the days of BIG and Pac
Things have changed and not for the better
My heart is met with this painful endeavor
There's so many things that I would change
I'd give anything just to relive those days
*I wish I could change
I wish I can go back
To the the days of my L cap
The little boy with a ceaser fade
Who never understood why he wanted braids
I rememeber a time when I did not know rap
I just new sports and starter caps
Then inspiration broke I became me
When did this happen this thing called me
INFP may not be just letters
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Shredder
MC Hammer Bobby's World
Afro puff jerry curls
When did I change
How can I go back
To plaid shirts and trucker hats
Some say retro some say throwback
I remember looking at Gameboy wishing I had that
Now young and in love glad to have that
I am a grown man uncle and lover
Over the years picked up a few brothers

Confessions of a Good Man
Hear my silent prayer
Someone
Anyone
Please
Hear my heart
As I drop to my knees
I'm no saint
But Lord knows I try
I'm not sure if He exists
Let alone if He's a guy
But I let his teachings be a guide
And guide this poor sinner
I have wished every night
For the strength
To fight my demons
Somethings giving me the strength
To keep breathing
I want to be what everyone thinks of me
Someday somehow my reflection won't be ashamed of me
This is my testimony
And I pray for forgiveness
I will try to be a better man
With you as my witness
Maybe I'm just too hard on myself
We all have a past
Make mistakes
But I shouldn't make my present Hell
Build new memories
Lay rest the past
Be at peace with yourself
Keep on the right path
Still a slave to my mind
Still I pray to be free
This is my confession
The reflection I see
Love built me
Doubt fills me
Along with everything else
That Pandora's Box emptied
Set me free
Let me be
A better me
Tomorrow is a new day
With morning's breath
We shall see
Loosely based on me, just reflecting, getting old thoughts out of my system. I'm grateful for my second chances even the second chances at a second chance. The road to peace isn't easy, you may take a few detours or be required to throw a few punches. Learn, let go, be a better you today then you were yesterday. Keep your eyes ahead of you, your heart with you, and your inhibitions behind you, do this and anythings possible...

My Daily Bread
I need it like most of you need Jesus
There's times we all have trouble believing
But believe me when I say
It's what fuels me
Gets me through my day
Consumes me
Moves me
Assuring me
It will all be all right
See I lost faith
Because in it I saw snakes
And Sam was nowhere in sight
So I awaited the day
That we can all fly without fright
Fearing the day would never come
Bob reminded me that I ride next to the sun
Now I'm on to the next one
See I spent time
Not trying to ride the waves
I almost forgot about everything
It was my mistake
And by the time it was time
He helped me through the pain
Future out of my sight
Thought my vision was stained
This can't last forever
I used to believe it will
Around the time I believed in Will
In my ears sung Lucifer
His voice gave me chills
I needed to be stronger
I just couldn't fit the build
In a way I needed him
So that I wouldn't be him
Though I still loved him
I had my reasons
My entire being Singing in joy
There's no star
Certainly no drummer boy
And though I was inspired
With this fire It is still not enough
To send my words through the wire
I aspire to believe
You believe to be
They'll believe anything
If they see the green
Prophesying until their face is blue
They don't know what they speak
Traveling through desert storms
Without so much as a clue
See I had faith I was brought up with it
Not saying it's gone
The wells just finished
It's like praying in a drought
The rain won't wash away the reign
So each season comes
With the same grief and pain
You can not survive
On water and bread alone
But I'm trying to get by
Not trying to watch the throne
I need the daily bread
I need it Jesus said
Maybe I got it confused
Now I'm lost in translation
The time is upon us
Now's not time for hesitation
In a higher power we trust
Let's take a look into my past
See my roots go back
To the times of slaves
It's all coming back
Always believing
One day we'll be free
To be anything
Most of all just be
But somehow anyhow
We all remained
Unable to come loose from their chains
So they used them
And through them
They are the foundations
Of great nations
My faith is like the rock
And can not be shaken
This my daily bread
Has been born anew
This is the second coming of Biggie L and Tu
I am just a messenger
Come to share a message
Now reflect
Understand and stop guessing
I put my faith in music
It's what I need to get by
I'm not talking God
I'm talking about the rhyme
See it's all about the rhythm
It's what keeps me moving
Trust me it's so moving
My bread is the way
The truth the life
All I need is a bass
A stage
And one mic
There's times we all have trouble believing
But believe me when I say
It's what fuels me
Gets me through my day
Consumes me
Moves me
Assuring me
It will all be all right
See I lost faith
Because in it I saw snakes
And Sam was nowhere in sight
