Infinitely Powerful The thing about asking for the gift is that you have to be ready to accept it. Its as simple and plain as that. There is power in the asking, but there is even greater power in accepting that things are the way they are and you have arrived at exactly where you are destined to be.
It's called destiny and you have arrived.
Can you lean back for a second while I unlock your door and undo your seatbelt. The shove is going to be a little jarring at first and Im really not too preoccupied where you land. You were meant to be there.

Break He da*n near twisting my arm and had me leaning at an angle where I was losing my balance. My solemn instinct was the turn and look at him and look for my opportunity to strike. Wretching through the pain, survival was still in the forefront of my mind to push forward with a defense.
I could feel his breath curling on the top side of my neck and the movement of his torso influencing me to move in ways that I was not in agreement with. I was an unhappy hostage, almost in the same position as a mean drunk with the will being drained from me.
With one effort, I made a move to twist and turn only to hear an unfamilair snap and suddenly I was at a loss for words just as much as I was at a loss for the use of my limb.
I was no longer in the fight and all of a sudden trying to figure out the mystery of an arm that did not function. It was obeying the commands of my brain. I think that was the real break, the understanding of the miscommunication... |
Enough Credit A lot of y'all havent been giving yourself enough credit. You were doing things passively and not looking along the way to say "I did that." Because the truth of the matter is that you did do that. You pulled it off when things seemed like they were not going your way.
You made a way. You cut a valley through the darkness and when everything was said and done, there you were. Shining and smiling so hard that it looked like you had a banana shoved in your mouth sideways.
They said crime doesn't pay and it doesn't. What you have been donig to yourself is criminal and it stops today, now.

Back Pain I got back pain from carrying the back strain of a black stain on how the world thinks my history started with slavery. Im from a kingdom of kings and queens and things that were stolen from us, the main thing being our souls. We tried to recoup that and that is the hardest thing that any culture can be asked to do.
We crawled and then walked in the mud for it and in that exploration we never became explorers. We became something else of the likes that the world has never seen.
The cost was high though and the Universe was unforgiving even as we forgave. So once again, my history never started with me being a slave.

My Own Weather The one thing I have always tried to do is bring my weather with me, that is when I figured out it was my weather. This life is not a burden, it is a gift and you have to accept the grace of what it gives you.
I am thankful and grateful. I didnt squander this opportunity and judging by the poets I have been around, I have been in good company.
Long live the poets.

Blink Of A Black Eye Salutations! and then he just punched me in the face. Welcome to the party pal! but this aint die hard so why you try hard. Is it the black skin that makes you think you are winning in the world when you havent even conquered yourself. You are lost and found yourself in front of me. How could this be?
Am I your highest level? Are you my greatest devil?
Because if that is the case, I am doing just fine and and it just became time to give you no time.

All Praise The Most High At some point we all end up in the grave so we eventually bow down to the most high. We live with this gift and we need to make sure we are constantly showing him that we live in love and respect for his immenence. You have to admit that this is the best dream you ever. You are a part of something that defines not only who you are but who we are as well.
I am glad that you traveled this journey with me and if you have the time to spare, I would love if you traveled a bit more.

The Find Out Part I think we reached the find out part of the phase where we told and now you just have to feel the burn. We told you you were sitting on top of the stove and no one lit the burners. Their hand was on the button and just like a little child you wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, they turned the heat up.
But we sitting back chillin' and as much as we tried to get ready, the funniest thing was the look of surprise on your faces when you find out you got played.
I dont even think that let you get the benefit of choosing the song. Da*n that cold.

Burnt Like Bacon I was burnt like bacon, even around the edges were black. I was walking through the world full well knowing that I was not discipline but taught to be obedient. There is a difference. One shows how much fear I have the other shows how much respect I have for myself. I was born in an then left my wealth, someone stole it from me and wrapped it in a system of deceit and dreams. So now it is my nightmares that haunt me and still cant get out of this grease.

Braids I remember there was a time I use to wear braids, I liked the way it made me feel and I was looking at the world the same but a little differently. It was like being connected to something and still somehow devalued. It was my own folks trying to kill me and why would they not, they learned from the best killers in the business.
And it was all business, right from the world black and they ni**ered it up, wrapped it tight psychologically and then wrapped it in chains. Since then, nothing has been the same. Not the prosperity that once was or could have been only a life devalued in an out of sin.
