Poverty Ended

After the dust settled I realized that it was never about me, rather it was a dollar a dime or a penny. Selfishness lives alone but the one that cheerfully gives is strong. A fool asks to be rich not knowing all that comes with it. To gain is to...

Have you tried my servant

While God was having a meeting with the angels the enemy appeared and God asked the enemy where he was going and he replied to and fro seeking whom he could devour and God asked if he’d tried his servant and the enemy replied your protecting him and...

It ain’t everything (Can’t be)

It ain’t everything
It can’t be
When you don’t have it how do you feel
You want it so bad but is it in Gods will
What would you do for it
Would you share it if you had it
What if it wasn’t everything you thought it would be
What if...

Let go and let God

Learn to forgive and forget
Move quick
You don’t want to block your blessings
Yes they hurt you
Talked about you bad
Yes their actions made you sad
But forgive them and move forward
God has so much for you
A life of abundance filled...

I’m Rich

I have my health
I can see
I can hear
I can feel
And breathe on my own
I can wash
I can bathe
I can eat
I can think
Walk talk drink even when I’m alone
With no assistance
I’m richer than the richest
And I’m thankful...

Waves

Waves take me away from a life filled with pain
I hope never to return again
I cast my cares away at sea
So much turmoil has confronted me
Love lost
Prayers unanswered
Hope gone
Faith a cancer
Failed at everything
Bills and debt call...

Tired of being black

My skin color doesn’t wash off
My bank account doesn’t increase
My innocence doesn’t convince the police
The law doesn’t protect me
The school doesn’t educate me
The job doesn’t even want to pay...

She loves his pain

He cheats he lies
Doesn’t come home at night
She loves to be hurt by him
She doesn’t want him to leave her life
Can’t figure her out
Seems dumb to me
It’s not business
But every day she calls me
We laugh and have fun
We enjoy her...

Don’t wake up black

Don’t wake up black in America
If you do you in trouble
From A to Z
From head to feet
Your ancestors drop their heads in shame
Don’t wake up black in America
For everything wrong you’re to blame
They still hate us and it’s twenty,...

What is faith he asked

He called on my birthday
We talked for a while
It was good to hear his voice
It made me smile
In the conversation
He asked what is faith
He seemed to be confused
He’s a soldier that’s received bad news
It’s hope I replied in the...

Didn’t think I’d see today

The minutes seemed like hours
The hours seemed like days
Last night was so horrible I didn’t think I’d see today
My guilt my sin toss me
I’m a ship in the ocean
I congregated with a witch and drank her potion
Is it poison
My insides erupt ...

I curse my birth

I curse my birth
I hate the day I was born
I hate my name
To die would be nice
Can’t even do that
Words hurt
Black, fat
Can’t change can’t live can’t grow
I want a refund from the field where I was sowed
This ain’t living
Bill after...

Don’t have to do nothing

Just woke up
That’s was all it took
For the officer to kill you without taking a second look
I got one
The officer shouts out loud with glee
He killed a black man that looks like me
He hunts us down knowing he’ll be rewarded
Even if he lies...

Poor black man

Poor black man
It’s a shame that you were born
Ignorance is bliss
While wisdom brings you harm
No happiness for you
It’s not your birth right
Anger is your friend that helps you sleep at night
God has forsaken you
He hates he created...

Everything in shambles…

Apartment falling apart
Car falling apart
Relationships fell apart
My Lord
May I say the Lord’s Prayer and hope for the best or do I get discouraged because stress won’t let me rest
Toss and turn when I try to sleep
I’m almost convinced...

It’s over. No need to pursue

Listening to you talk makes me think your crazy
Trying to relate to you but I know you’re the problem
When I leave your company my heart beats so fast
I pray and pray but the pain continues to last
My prayers are unanswered
I consulted a...

I thought it was cute…

They thought it was cute to disrespect me
Talk about me like a dog
Put me on the back burner
Mistreat for applause
Tell they friends and family what all I don’t deserve
Tease me
Reject me
Call me out my name
Lie to me lie on me cheat...

I wish you loved me

I always wanted your approval
In everything I did
Your only compliment is that I’m your worst kid
You never should have had me is what you would say
You would ask God why you had me every day
I know I disappointed you
You made sure I knew...

I wish my dad was alive

I wish my dad was alive
To curse me out again
My only friend
Through thick and thin
Until the End
I wish my dad was alive
To disrespect me and laugh about it
That gave him so much joy
To treat as if I was challenged mentally

To be black is a crime

To be black is a crime
To be prey
To be hunted
To be chased down
To be in lack
To be in fear
To be hated
To be unloved
To be despised
I wonder why my struggle is my crown
On the run
On the lamb
On the go
On the move
On the...

Wake up rich

I want to wake up rich
No more worrying about bills
I want to wake up rich
And do whatever I feel
I want to wake up rich
But I would help the poor
Because if I woke up rich what else would the money be for
I want to wake up rich
I’d...

Poverty What did I do

What did I do to you
Why do you bully me
Harass me every day
Till I lay my head to sleep from the moment that I’m awake
You chase me in my dreams
You cause my disbelief
You interrupt my business
You place a burden upon me
I did...

Adding up

Add diabetes and high blood pressure to the struggle
Lack of communication
Come on God
I’m still moving forward
I’m out the boat
I’m walking on water
My eyes on the prize
With all these attacks it’s like somebody lying
It can’t be you!...

Not a man

You have not because you ask not
I have not because you give not
Poverty fighting me a hundred rounds
Police chase me to try and gun me down
Section eight harass me trying to put me out
And I’m tired of searching through the lost and found ...

M

Yearn for you
Calling out your name even in my dreams
Wish you were mine and mine alone
Disgusted by my weakness to leave your situation
To me to him you leave me in frustration
Everything about you commands my attention
Silly me praying...
