Forever Friends

Just as the ink flows from this pen... As i write, the pain flows from within. Like tears on a rainy day, all that is inside is disguised. Covered with laughter, silly jokes and a shy grin...my pride, I continue to defend.

The best friend one could acquire... never needing a favor in return is what I admire. Listening, no interruptions, forever understanding, no abruptions.... Open me up and we are read the same...I empty my soul onto each of your pages. And as the chapters unfold , my heart moves closer to a state of peace, I give you company and you so faithfully continue to give me releif ...

My serious face lol

What You Make IT

Love is what you make it.
You can accept it, change it, or even choose to break it.
You can work at it or let it fade.
You can even ignore it or simply give it away.
You can run from it,
You can loose it,
Inside you'll die from it, if you choose to abuse it.
You can like it or hate it,
But love will always and only be what YOU make it.

Nigga = Ignorance

"Nigga what the fuck you gone do!?"
I hear from across the room as loud as thunder.
I begin to shake my head, sadly not in disbelief ... yea, I knew it was comin.

Why does it have to be this way? As if the spotlight isn't already turned toward "our kind"
I'm disgusted at the situations we create and mostly the words that surround them.
"Nigga", prime example"...
What would MLK think? And sadly at the same time I'm thinkin to myself ..."damn, these niggas crazy..."
I shrug my shoulders and walk away...
"Shit, It's not like that Nigga was talkin to me anyway."

How would we begin to fix a problem rooted so deep?
The apple never falls too far from the tree, you might think you escaped but you still right around the corner.
Can we have our own minds?
Will our skin color always indicate we're symbolically blind?
We never find time...

Willie Lynch and his damn letters
Got us all fucked up for what seems like will be forever...
I apologize, I guess I should be watchin my language, you know try not to get too eager
...Fuck that, who cares? Cause I AM... uh um... I mean I AIN'T No Nigga!

Shit, I can still recite the lyrics to that Jay-Z joint from back in the '90's ...
But you trippin if u ask what we covered just last week in political science.
Don't Blame me ... uuh, blame my situation.
At least thats what we like to say right? instead of facin our own...
We say it's someone elses fault that we DON'T know.

Instead of pickin up a book
We pick up the remote and turn on the TV... BET.
Don't trip... You watchin that shit as I speak.
At least I know my dail is turned to that station, soooo...
Um yea, I'm cool I just wish 106 would play the whole video

Is that the most with what we are concerned???
What about politricks? "Poli what?" My bad, I meant Politics...
You think "What that got to do with me?"
I can even relate... remembering a time where I could care less
Until the day I strapped up my combat boots, Kevlar, n LBE...
I'm no longer livin in my own world. This reality was slowly created by me.

Turnin to ya boy while lightin a cigarette... "damn, they still aint catch Barack Obama yet?"
Yeah Nigga was the right word. Ignorance is an epidemic.
This shit is ubsurd. Generation to generation.
You damn right I'm hatin.

What would It take for you to see...
I AINT NO nigga... damn it I'm free.
Naw mayne... I don't expect to convince you otherwise
We..."I AM a nigga" ... in our own eyes.
Did I say that right? Anyway It don't matter...
Go ahead, chastise, criticize, correct me, and debate....
I'm cool the day the Nigga looses the urge to EmUlAtE.

Niggas come in all shapes, sizes, and colors...
Who said they couldn't find work?
They even got that nigga George Bush runnin the country.
While our children are getting killed and searching for "weapons of mass destruction"...
We are more concerned with who R. Kelly is fuckin.

Which generation will erase this stereotypical figure . Shit, not me...
Cause I AM... uh um... I mean I AIN'T No Nigga!
When will...How could we ever find the time?
I really don't expect to convince you otherwise...
You see...

I,
WE ARE NIGGAS ... even in OUR OWN eyes.
