Ambitions As A Poet

Knowledge Inspires New Greatness

All I ever wanted to do

Was to show that there's no difference

Between me and you

We both struggle

And we both lost people we love

Even though I'm projecting positivity

Pain is what my story consists of

God held on to my soul

Even when I thought I lost my mind

He gave me something to live for

When I felt like I was out of time

I had a love who broke my heart

I had loved ones who hearts were dark

I had people on my side

Who never supported me from the start

My favorite cousin growing up

Could've loss his life to the streets

It was amazing that after taking shells

His heart still had a beat

It all started with a mug and some words

While stopped At a street light

That's why before I show any hate

I'd rather convince us both that it's all alright

There's no need for retaliation

Your life is bigger than your situation

Young king; You're walking wisdom for your family

Your story is another spirits education

My own flesh was a victim of a lot of abuse

When it come to queens; protect

And never disrespect

Because it really just ain't no use

That women is a sister or a mother

To another

So love her like no other

And protect her like your brother

We were born into this pain

But standing together; we can stay sane

I know temptation

Can seem like too much for the brain

Multiple nights; I just wonder why..

Why can people only rest in peace; When they're in the sky?

Why was I born in a place where the murder rate is so high?

Why does water have to fall from my eye;

For the world to see my cry?

Why can't you see

That's its not just me?

In your heart you're a K.I.N.G.

Whenever you put your heart to it;

You can be anything you want to be.

Why can't I show the streets hope

Without people assuming I'm affiliated?

Why can't you be street smart

And educated?

Im just a strong man

Whose standing his grown.

Screaming put the guns down

And put on your crown.

Why can't a man understand

It's ok to really love; if something true is what you found

Respect a woman like "dear mama"

Before embracing "I get around"

Why can't a woman choose one?

Instead of playing with multiple feelings, Making us all look dumb.

Now I got to play it cold; and pretend my heart is numb.

Knowing that it hurts;

Because she took advantage of two kings.

Who probably both wanted to make it work

Why do you hate me;

Just because you don't understand?

Why not focus on God's plan

Instead of focusing on the next man?

Why take from me

The things you can build yourself?

Why let this material

Determine all of your wealth?

I learned a lesson;

From the movies Gang tapes and Snow On The Bluff

They gave blacks; red and blue

So only the white will make it through the rough

Why do older men cheat

And show examples of how to mistreat?

Why is the single mother marathon

Stuck on repeat?

Generations of miscommunication

Leads to segregation.

Through skin tone, age, gender and education;

Why have we fallen victim to this systems manipulation?

Why not be you

No matter who understands?

Why hate on the next man

Before you try to be a friend?

Some things I will always wonder.

Some situations in life seems like a storm without thunder.

Hopefully this is enlightening.

That everything will be alright and we can still do the right thing.

Nobody is perfect

And we all make mistakes.

But imperfections are only opportunities

To focus on and become great.

So I'm done wondering why;

I'd rather spread these wings and fly.

You're a blessing on earth;

Not only a angel when you die.

Sometimes it's hard to believe

That goals can be obtained.

And in the midst of a storm

Some of the biggest blessings rain.

We both wonder why;

So that's what makes us the same.

We're different people

But removing "why" removes blame.

It's ok to have unanswered questions;

It saves room for life's lessons.

But understanding what needs to be answered;

Is the key to mental and spiritual progression.

..peace and love
