Bells And A Clapper (12142025)people today holla "BOYCOTT" we tired we fed up we gone "BOYCOTT" we had enough the truth is boycotting is a great sacrifice people today ain't got the guts oomph nor gumption to see it through they can't put down that phone long enough to lift a sign and picket those people in Montgomery Alabama who refused to board the buses demanded equality in a system that their taxes supported had to walk a long way to and fro had to travel miles and miles to go to the store alot of 'em didn't have a automobile they all couldn't carpool some let my granddad tell it some of 'em didn't have shoes people ain't made like that no more people today ain't got what it take to buck the system they can't put that phone down long enough to challenge the racist power structure they gone talk they gone tweet about it on X they gone TikTok up and the YouTube streets and do it for that Gram people today ain't like those people in Birmingham 1963 Project C people today wanna "BOYCOTT" for all the wrong reas...  |

Over The Top (12142025)not long ago people were boycotting unsubscribing cancelling and deleting their Netflix account Netflix turned around and put out The Reckoning damn Netflix that a damn good marketing strategy because enquiring minds want to know what Diddy did the people did what Netflix knew they would do manipulation is a form of witch craft it guides you into a situation where your known reaction serves their purpose out thinking you with every move 21.8 million in the first week that's a lot of clicks and views I can hear the voice of Nina Simone "I put a spell on you" it's like getting caught in a snare that's how a net work I reckon that went over someone's head |
The Wrap (12142025)I don't want to explain why I don't have an explanation for what I done I wouldn't want to explain if I did have one it's not because I ran out of excuses I don't want to drum up a argument attempting to mitigate my case everything's cozy it's sunny I'm cool in the shade no need to sing and dance up a storm |
Alright (12142025)I want everybody to be alright I know everybody can't be alright why everybody can't be alright what if we all suddenly became alright at the same time would we forget the time we weren't alright what if we all wasn't alright at times it feels like none of us is alright are you alright I hope you alright am I alright I might be maybe I am maybe I'm not I really try to be but empathy won't let me be alright compassion is a gift if a gift is a curse or something worse compassion hurts the compassionate one sometimes I'm mean I'm sorry I don't mean no harm it's frustration it's stressful situations I'll kill a fly I'll harm a flea I refuse to remain silent I'll step to Pontius Pilate who ordered the crucifixion of a innocent man no different from what's happening on this land I'm angry enough to kill still I do not subscribe to violence I care in silence write volumes upon volumes for the one's to come before I go back to where they came from until this world get... |
Say! Can You Seecan we see what's going on can we find a way to bring peace and love here today can we find a way to conquer hate we don't need to escalate conflict can we stop senseless violence can we stop mothers from crying can we find a way to bring some understanding here today you tell me what's going on I'll tell you what's going on can we see where we went wrong can we see the errors of our ways today can we deliver our children from an early grave can we see what's being done to our daughters and sons can we see our contributions to the pain can we see war is not the answer to peace leaders and their violent policies breeds more suffering can we resolve societal problems instead of resorting to aggression w... |
Clinging {12132025}Normal Is The Kind Of Change That Can Drive One To Insanity |
Compost {12132025}I turned over a new leaf now its a old leaf on a pile of dry leaves |
All In Order [12132025]this timeline is like walking a tightrope you gotta perform feats you gotta practice balance to stay on top if you fall off into the deep end you gotta do what you can to stay afloat practice your stokes hope for a boat and pray that it don't get blown out the water |
