Dear Nadine,

Hello
I wish you could receive this letter in person
But I’m getting off track
I wish I could’ve met you while you were alive
Atleast met you and be able to remember it
I was 3 when you left us
Nobody really talks about you or it
Matter of a fact they don’t at all
He doesn’t paint or draw since you left
I wonder how our relationship would be
If we would be close, remotely close or act like the other doesn’t exist
I wonder if you would’ve taught me art like I wish he did
I kinda feel that you took him from me
Is it fair no, but I feel that way at times
But most importantly I I could be able to remember you
You truly are great
If I ever have a little girl
She’ll be named after you
I love and miss you dearly sister
Love little brother

Suicide

If I were to die by suicide
How would you remember me
Though I kept it live
I’d probably be remembered in infamy
None of the good I did would be remembered
Just the bad, the fights, the shady deals
The violence, the anger, the aggression
That’s all people would remember
Nobody would remember the good
The times I stood by you when everybody else left
The times I was there at night to comfort you
The times I passed on somethin I wanted so you could eat
Nah none of that would be remembered
But they’ll remember my death
Seeing my half my brains on the wall
The other nowhere to be found
That’ll be remembered it’s fucked up
But true though
That’s life
Well that was life

Single Mother

let's take a moment out for all the single mothers
no matter what the race
the ones that bust their ass to provide for their kids
the ones thatll work a 9-5 and then a 10-4
the ones that don't let nothing stop them from taking care of their kids
ones that don't need a man to stand next to
the ones that'll be tired as hell but will still get up and play with the kids
we as males need to show some love and respect to the single mothers
this is just a little something from me to all the single mothers
i respect and applaud you
as a matter of fact i wish i was as strong as you

No 808's Just Heartbreak

he showed her that he had more than one side

he showed her that he had a sweet side

that he was a nice,caring, and loving individual

that he cared more about her feeling than her looks

he cared more for the mental than the physical

but she asked him one day "Why me?

You can do better,especially when it comes to looks."

He told her "I dont want to do better. I want you"

I like you and your looks

Plus looks arent that important to me

She finally believed him and gave the relationship a try

Time goes by and their bond starts to grow strong.

until one day he wakes up

he got the text that he feared

she ended it out of the blue

she said " I Just wanna be friends. That's how i really feel about you"

his world as he knew it just crashed down around him.

now he no longer has his girl or his friend

she exiled him from her life

all he can say now is "Why?"

maybe he shouldnt have given things a try

Failure

Failure is not an option

that's what he told himself

a lonely poor black kid that only wanted wealth

he had the smarts to make it in school

just not the patience to do the work

he had a role model, an idol named joe cool

joe moved them just as soon as he got them

he realized that joe cool was his way of not failing

his way of coming up in the world

he saw joe as his meal ticket

he kicked it with joe and joe decided to use him

he ran numbers and move them for joe for months

all over the blocks in the city

they called him super pretty, due to the way he dressed and handled business

until one day he wasn't so pretty anymore

he got caught with a stash

he got hauled off in front of joe

and joe didnt even bother to acknowledge his best runner

he now knows that joe was not his way to avoid failure

he regrets kicking it with joe to this day

but now he knows that he failed

not for gettin caught or even selling

but for thinking that failure was not an option

it was an option

just not one that he liked

he now knows its best to fail than succeed in some case

My Mistake

look girl just here this last message out

i'm being honest beyond a shadow of a doubt

i'm in a drought cause i done cried so many tears

just thinkin bout me and you

relieving our amazing years together

we survived all kinds of weather

the haters came at us like a severe thunderstorm

your friends piled up on me like a blizzard in the winter

but eventually the weather went back to being a sunny day

then i unleashed a storm worse that katrina

i cheated on you out of the blue with a girl that was brand new

in town; light brown and her ass was nice and round

you were beyond angry and had a right to be

you unleashed a fury worse than somethin that came from Zeus

there was no shelter for me even after you let me loose

girl i cheated on you and i'm sorry

but there's more....

Oh Well

I wanted you to be my girl
I was fallin like alicia keys
all I wanted was a chance
or at least one little slow dance
those were my thoughts a few months ago
since then my desire has continued to grow
I tried to find a way to get my foot in the door
but I couldn't find a way in time
all I can say now is oh well.....

His Mistakes

All those times that he did you wrong

his lies, indecisiveness,and excuses

not to mention him cheating on you

all those things left a dark spot on your heart

and now i can't get a chance to change things

just because of what he did

but that's more than ok

i'm willing to pay for his mistakes

because i'm smart enough not to make the same ones

so go ahead and name your price

i'm willing to pay it no matter what.....

That Girl

She was light skinned

no dark skinned

kinda short,kinda tall, kinda thick, kinda thin

i cant remember much except for the mood she put me in

with her beautiful smile and that little dimple

she has when she starts to talk

and the way she carries herselft is like no other

she has the drive of a single mother

and the confidence of a champion

with eyes prettier than a summer sky

but she can quickly switch to a bitch

and then back to an angel

damn that girl

now i wish i said just this one little thing...............

Hi

Sink or Swim

Be willin to take that dive

knowing that you may drown

but also knowing that you may be able to swim

but you'll never know if you don't take that dive

remember you only live once

so just try and take the chance

like a nerd asking a hot girl to a school dance

i know that this seems like play russian roulette with your heart

but you can't win if you never play the game

i'm willing to place my bet on the bullet not being there

and on us being together as a result

so i'm willin to take that dive

knowing i may drown but also knowing that i may swim

so are you ready and willing to take that dive?

Open Letter to God pt. 1

Dear GOD, I'm writting this letter of confession

it's long overdue much like my therapy session

the things i'm about to say are also long overdue

like a woman who's pregnant for 10 months

where do i start

maybe at the start

actually i'll start in june of 2000

when i lost part of my heart

you had took my grandmother home

and i was upset with you

and didnt know what to do

but now i understand it was part of your plan to shape me as a man

let's fast forward to january 03, my other grandmother left me

that shook me to my core

i wondered if you loved me anymore

i still remember crying on the floor saying it couldnt be

i just lost another important piece of me

The Second Coming

Greatness is not dead

it has arisen from the crypt

greatness has made a deal with the devil

greatness has promised to bring the keeper the two who brought him

the second coming is here

greatness was off the bull shit but now is back on it

greatness has a purpose now

that's to destroy any and everybody

who challenges him until he get's the two he wants

the second coming is here

greatness and the keeper are angry

you two should beware

The Keeper

The crypt keeper
the keeper of the crypt
the one who watches over the dead
the one who everybody fears
more than the reaper
no, they are not the same
there is no bargaining with the keeper
he has no face or body
just eyes,hands,and a robe
that is the keeper
but who is he really?

Impossible

Tonight marks the end
the impossible has happened
the soul is dead
it's now in the crypt
with the others
it was not sold
it was killed by two -
people. to think just two
to think "greatness" fell
to just four hands
it's official
the soul is dead
