See it

I get tired of people telling me

that they can’t make it

I hear so much negativity

I just can’t take it I try not to let it get to me

it’s hard for me too

though I did have something

I came from a little of nothing

I know the meaning of penury

it’s poverty that’s what made it hard for me

trying to make ends meet to tie it all together

trying to save for stormy weather conditions

everybody has a sad song to sing but who wants to listen

write it down and make some change (that’s all I’m saying)

I often felt like giving up but it was just a feeling of mines

That soon passed with the test of time

just like a cake we all can make it

put it in an oven we all can bake it

forget about fake it till you make it

get up go out there and take it

if it does not exist invent it

if it’s not available supply it

this is soul food, healthy like (Whole Food)

I know it’s hard for you it’s hard for me too

I wish I could tell you that your hard times were through

what I can tell you is when you stumble on a lie

you fall on the truth that enlightens you

that light shines so bright there is no hell

on earth that you can’t go through

so sit awhile and quiet your mind

if  you feel a tickle between your brows

tickle it back and smile

you have evolved
