Black boy the system is set up for you to fail

Drug dealer, gang member, prisoner, DEAD

This is the future they set up for you, and right now

You excel

Their spirit is fed

Why do you accept what they planned

Educate yourself academically, mentally and spiritually

You have armed yourselves with guns and knives

Thinking you a soldier, YOU TO YOUNG TO DIE

Someone look at you wrong, you think he have to dead

Two blocks from Rock & Roll

Eight miles from the lovely blues

Somewhere near New York City

I fell in love with you

Grooving the South Bronx

I adored your warm energy

We fell in love

With you so musically

I shall kiss the mic

Darkening at the midnight hour

Ladies and gents stand on your feet

Allure...complexity

Cameras...lights please

Who played that drum note

Which sizzled onto many

Broken strings and all those things

Could it have been from the trumpet

Far infernos of heated sorts

Clay hardens around the name

Conceived thru buttered tendencies

The blues beneath the pain

Thus lonely for ages

Let it shower down on Beverly

Gray clouds break and scatter

The misery at the misty cemetery

The blues beneath Beverly

Mini bubbles and spills

A redefined champagne dance

Again let's love

Heavenly all over again

Evenings of subliminal bliss

Nights of memorable times

Let's dance, let's spin

As the blessings untwine

Champagne or more wine

Bon Appetit

Sexily a famine painting

Eternally my personalize sculpture

Color you with a grace of warmness

Until you are picture perfect

Sexily a brillant love

Selfishly in an endless love

Sexily a famine painting

Spiritually my studio love

Shhh, from a soprano's cord

Gentle is the convenent presence

Excuse the cursed languages

Hush explainable essence

Quiet tongue, many say

What an angry eidolon

Quiet Mister, I say

Please forgive me for whats wrong

French kissing stuttered sentences

Diseased of a quiet man

she gave me much energy oh she a fountain of youth

look into her eyes well now i only be seein truth

go into town and get into all the trouble i can find

follow my heart just wanna see her smile but theres somethin

all the while that makes me slow it up, blow it up

and i know that she'll be with me within the next mile

well we didnt even make it to the bed these rashes are lustful scratches or carpet burn, maybe both. i had only made love to her up til now but this time she really let me have at it. grab her in my hands delirious with energetic investment. i tore up her body and mine til we scrambled up exhaustedly onto the mattress to cool down with the soft duvet cover. she stared to the ceiling laying deathly still except for her deep breathing chest.

in a world where everything is possible

but its all too much trouble

you gotta bust through the rubble

find something inspiring

something useful

get all you cylinders firing

its left to a choice of

what do i want

what should i take

UPPERS

DOWNERS
