Find me reason to believe in a system designed for failure and that thrives on deceit
And I'll happily bag your groceries and smile as I hand you your receipt
Force me to understand why we shed blood for an empty cause
And I'll gladly shake your hand as you tell me to have a good day after you laid me off
Show me why we suffer when there will be more gain than loss for everyone
And I'll shake it off when I see my unborn son already clutching a gun
Break down freedom and equality for me because I just can't see
Why anyone would be proud of a country that glorifies modern day slavery?
I am but a puppet to my heart's passion
In the crudeness of the night
Truth and shadows mimic the twilight
And things that hide in the light
Become plainly and vividly in sight
There is a rawness to utter darkness
It is, in my opinion, what many fear
Because inside your head, free of noise, it is a coward that always appears
As dawn lifts the sky and the sunlight draws near
Your reality begins. Enjoy your life of sin.

"This passion, this burn, this fire... it will consume me eventually."
Me, myself, & my mic

"My touch sets the pace as I lace my fingers around it's thin waist, and my voice sends static music that hypnotizes you without a choice, and my words? Oh, my words. They are the potency behind my sweet lips poetic bite. Just me, myself, & my mic.
Self Portrait
My body aches with desire
My fingers itch with passion
My mind yearns for truth
My heart screams for compassion
Live with purpose
Fight for a cause
Find reason for each breath you take
Because everyone dies
But not everyone lives
My fingers itch with passion
My mind yearns for truth
My heart screams for compassion
Live with purpose
Fight for a cause
Find reason for each breath you take
Because everyone dies
But not everyone lives
