The decree
i'll let you touch
you can touch my waist
my thighs
i'll even let you inhale my sighs
ill let you hold me
unfold me
dance with me
enhance in me
touch my breast
my fingertips
that trace a line on my back
as you lay on my bed
kiss me
kiss my forehead
my cheek
everywhere on my body
memorize every part
except...
for the fact that
i wont let you too close to my heart
i've seem to have lost the lock
at which your attempts will
surely be blocked
you can feel my skin
taste my sins
you can do it over and over
and over again
you dont see
but i need you to see
that i just wont let you close
enough to hurt me
title of the song
this will be the first and last time i'll sing this
sad heartbreak story
where it all starts with
boy meets girl
girl meets boy
hearts are caressed
then hearts got destroyed
its a 1+1=2
a 2-1=1
simple pain
new rules
nothing but wind
and blood inside of me
so whats the point of being invited
lets just have our bodies united
just go ahead and have my legs divided
so i can get you excited
start you up
get you ignited
but after you need to go
this affair isnt subsided with
falling in love
i've fucked up
messed up
been the mistress
then the witness
to all that is
an 808 and heartbreak
so for now, i'll let you
whisper in my ear
let you touch my arm
touch my leg
kiss my neck
but understand
the law that i decree
that i'll never let you close enough
to hurt me.
Land of no kings
Bury me in Philadelphia
As long as he would come visit my grave
Just like the fog
his love began to fade
Fade into a once upon a time
To a time of another time
To a new distraction and mystery so damn fine
You see, He was from Oakland
I was from the sand dog
The sex was right
Yet the situation was wrong
My mind fully sober
Running on $4 and some change
And I wish I could change
My mental like I change my physical
To the next Nigga with no intentions
Just the attention of the illegal practices we endured
A once upon a time in a dirty motel room of unmade promises of lust then love
But what is love
When you don't love yourself
Yet you love what's between the thighs
And the blooming of resentful lies
To one man I could never fully understand
A man trying construct his own plan
A man ....
Fighting trying not to sink in his own sand
I just wanted to understand
At least Give him my hand
Yet this is the land
The land of no kings until I rest with my king
A peasantry of a story
Peasantry of a girl
Of a woman
Of a queen
Living in the land of no kings
Raised without a king
There's just no such thing
Until I rest
With the king

soul sessions: 9:59pm
whenever i feel like givin up
whenever i dont feel like being seen
or touched
like im some kind of infection
whenever i walked in the wrong direction
youre right there
i cant escape that stare
oh baby what is it with you
why do you care
got me singin hes always in my hair
in my high pitched voice
ive tried everything
push you this way
push you that way
no you go that way
close the door
stay away
Ill lock the door
Cause I don’t want you to see me
But baby you always had the key
And you know sooner or later my screaming
My defense my flinches
All my body clinches
Always disappears
when your hand is never to late to catch my head before it lays on your pillow
and then
then im in heaven
I get memory loss
Losing my painful memories
And the reason why I was yelling
And swelling your ears with all that bullshit
You say you aint going nowhere… with that voice
Got me blinking twice trying to remember if I had a choice
And oh lord, its been a while since I ramble about a man on paper
Got me not caring on paper
Got me saying things on paper
That I could wish I flow to you through paper
Cause youre always in my head
I fight you cause I love you
I push you cause I want to hold you longer
I defend myself from you cause I know you aint no good
But youre so good at the same time
Please baby, change my mind
Let me know theres hope cause im writing
Like im in love again
And maybe I just am
Thank you

the corner
I cant remember the last time I smiled
the last time I really meant for the curves on my lips to dent
i've concluded to losing that file
im in a trench on a no man’s land
im fighting a battle with an empty gun and no plan
i guess writing this is a start to get me out of this sinking sand
oh lord, I forgot how to smile
forgot how to love
forgot how to hold someone the right way
I forgot the words that boil in my heart and forget what to say
I confuse my day with night and night with day
Ive lost my mind and forgot how to pray
so ill start by writing this
I use to be good, real good
the words id write seeped into their drinks and cold ice
while they took a sip and understood
oh If I could just bring it back
back on track
id maybe remember how to mend this crack in my confidence
if I could bring it back
id remember how to love myself and be bullet proof to any attack
I forgot to escape and still be sober
forgot to feel young instead I feel older
I have no more oxygen to blow away these fears
but im sick of depending on someone to supposedly
kiss away my tears
my foundation has cracked like ground zero
torn down and silent
im the refugee walking around but not looking for a hero
not anymore
Im still here for a reason and I really cant seem to figure why
so the new mentality is to keep on moving
to keep on crying
to keep on hustling
to keep on trying
to keep holding on
to stay strapped up
head up like a pledge line
don’t let them break your line
your path
let the vultures circle up in the sky
that’s all they know
its their only craft
that’s all they remember
but I will remember
Ill remember how to smile
Ill get my nose out the corner
Ill drop these invisible fees I hold against myself
Ill love again
Ill open my eyes to see
I just have to get out of this room
but wheres the key?

cinderella (that nigga)
Waiting for that nigga
You know… that nigga
The one that gets me to drop my armor
Before I put it up
The one that gets me to cut that bullshit about how they all the same
With one finger to shut me up
I aint waiting
Im not anticipating
Just floating, maybe hoping…
Ah fuck it
Im fine alone through these four walls
But I keep hearing whispers of how someone is gonna
Break these walls and have them fall
So that nigga can come to me and finally say
I can have it all?!
This poem corny as shit and in a min
I gotta get ready for work
And this fantasy ish..has got to quit
But damn u stay on my mind
And I don’t even know what you look like
When you’re in my dreams your face is blurry
So I try to re-wind, re defined fast forward..something!
but u vanish, then I somehow manage to get my ass outta bed
but never out of my head
you’re my Cinderella, my lost treasure
and the road to finding you is in
nothing but the smallest measures
I don’t know your name
your face
Your laugh
If your heart is tore
Don’t know your credit score
But I crave for you and I want more
So yeah maybe I am waiting
Maybe anticipating
But the thought of you makes me happy
Its hard sometimes being alone all the time
but there is hope to the existance
of real love with no crimes
And youre the nigga
That nigga
The one where it it started to a hey hi
and it killed me to say bye
then it went to a like love and no one else was above
now you got me hoping praying
maybe even saying... i do??
whoa, jus the thought of exchanging these rings all the way
to our dying day where i can see ya pretty wings
…type of love
That nigga
The nigga
That tears my list of structural plans
That nigga
Wait no…that man

we werent supposed to hold hands (parental advisory)
we werent supposed to hold hands
this accident slipped
the floor being so wet
something like the tip of my tongue glisten on your neck
id get mine
youd get yours
we followed 1 law 1 rule
and it was to never open that door
you know, that door
where we belong to each other like the air
i breathe belongs to my lungs
where we fall in love and its obvious
in the pores of our skin that we're that damn sprung
the moment came so fast and then my hand slipped into yours
and then we snapped back to reality
eyes big and shit
its getting late and you need to go
maybe we should push the stop button before
this goes into the deep
before love starts to creep and seep right under
your skin
we were just supposed to perfect a sin
a sin that began with 2 empty hearts and
fill it with the comfort of artificial pleasure
i dont want love but ive recieved it with every stroke
and frustration you grind into my back
i dont want your care
but ive got it when you simply
brush that one little strand of hair off my eye
then its eye to eye
then back to a structure of clothes back on
then the executive good bye
lights off
then lights on
back to life
back to reality
back to the formality
of the hustle but its ironic
that im writting this at work
when i was suppose to drop the feeling
so drop it
im letting it go and getting back to
my precisive plans and it doesnt involve
ever again
holding your hand....

this tree
that tree is the same tree you obey
that tree is the same tree you decay yourself for
you are the slave to the money that you
bleed
breathe
and break your back
everyday of your life
that tree is the history
my forefathers rested on
yet that tree is the strife
the end of a colored life
that my forefathers hung from
that tree is family
a connection
a church
a distant praise to the lord above
its a beautiful disastrous confusion of creation
this tree is our respriration
this tree is death
it grows with our pain
it grows with our tear along with the rain
growth from the beautiful risk taking
quiver of a trumpet
the beautiful song that wrapped around the bark
that permanetly has keep their mark
without this tree the blessings wouldnt prevailed
without this tree the books would be empty with
no story to tell
without that tree there be no history
i wouldnt appreciate my kinky naps
that the women before me had to deal with
that damn hot comb
that sizzles close to that scalp
just so our hair could look one half step closer
to a european
i wouldnt comprehend
that tree is the road to
freedom then to freedom
of breaking away from
one chain to one chain
the same chains that reigned
around the ankles of my ancestors
coming to the land of the free....
oh how sweet the sound
that this is tree is still here
to watch the constant
destruction
seduction
of hate, ignorance and obstruction
this tree is love
music
peace
a story
a journey to the glory
with each leaf as the
beginning of the beautiful story...
