You've much to learn You ain't growing, then you dying, fall then keep on rising Failure yields success if you keep on trying Until I triumph I will chase the horizon ‘I can stare at the mountains or say that I climbed ‘em And that is how we differ, the way we see a picture You keep looking at the bottom and my vision's getting clearer When I look into my mirror, I don't just see just a man I'm seeing the potential of all that I am See, I know just what I want, for my name to last forever So before I leave this world, do something they'll remember If you stand in my way, I'm prepared to go to war Whack rappers, you've been warned, show yourself to the door That's right, I'm cleanin' house, get wit it or get out And shut the fuck up if money's all you ‘bout This life is too abundant to concern ourselves with numbers No matter how high you rack it, you gon' still end up under

Why I’m Still In Love Because I’m an MC So Hip-Hop is to me as you are to your parents Even when you disappoint, it’s just too hard to stop caring See, we know there’s potential and that there’s no such thing as a limit in skill What you see is what you get, but look beyond the frames and there are images still Just picture this; imagine a dozen roses, now imagine a dozen more With your imagination, you can visualize more flowers than there actually was before It’s like staring at the ocean and all you see is the top But there’s a world beneath the waters who’s breathing don’t stop The quality in the art is infinite like the numerical system A beauty of connecting minds through the sharing wisdom As I labor on the page painting these words of thought All I ask is for you to appreciate the skill displayed through all works of art And it always pains me to see others stoop to low-levels Sell-out for instant gratification, never realizing . .That they can't buy back what is took by the devil But in just one moment. .one good line can rectify however bad I may feel And that's why I still lover her. .always have, always will Y'know what I'm saying?? When I get that feeling, that feeling that puts me in awe, makes me appreciate what a person just said. That feeling like, "dayum, you hear that?? Did you hear that??". . .THAT feeling. It's more than just good music. .it's Skills. Ugh, I flip words with my pen like the page was a skillet Feed you multiple meanings 'cause that's what my phrases are filled wit' Yes, I do to these words how kids be playing with legos Mold each term like clay, looking like I get creative with play-do Start with a letter, mix in some commas. .I'll even stretch the line String along the end of each character with spaces like I’m etch-and-sketching rhymes You gotta think outside the box if you want to heed unseen designs Note the position of every letter and try to read between the lines 'Cause I try to make you think, see, my lyrics ain't for the obvious Turn the paper into something else. .lyrically origami it Words so fly lookin' as though each and every letter soars The epitome of double-meanings, put my name in your verse and call it a metaphor I plant a thought, but seeds ain't gotta spread to fill the sentence Long as you can see-through to the point, I'm still A-Parent I'm a breathe of fresh air, not just somethin' to smoke But if you lookin' for work, check my track record. . .nothin' but Dope Tell me I ain't!! Fuck it, I keep going, bet I'd win in a race between that Energizer Bunny Let him knock on the drums while I rhyme 'til the end of time, it's nothing!! Man, I'm only getting better and better, don’t doubt this kid?? Ain't usually wit' the bragging, but trust. .nobody has an inner-voice as loud as this Look, I'm as humble as it gets, I guess that's why crumbs is all I get My stomach gets so full with rage, it makes me wanna run away and quit 'Cause I don't like the idea of settling for less than what I'm able But what happens when you let everyone go before yourself is . .By the time you get to the front, there's no more food left up on that table They say that money is the root of all evil, I bet hunger was the seed So many times I've glared at my empty plate wanting to slit the throat of my compassion and throw it away underneath my greed Damn. .I'm sorry guys, I catch myself thinking a lot - see, my mind tends to slip But whenever I get lost in these Bermuda Triangle's of Ideas . .I remember that I'm the Captain, and no matter what, I must defend my ship That's when I grip the wheel and steer out whatever cycles I create Quit with trying to turn myself around, set my sight and just go straight Stay on course with who I am, get back to my desk and let the ink tell my story Write against the odds for the same reason Achilles went to Troy - We’d die just to live in the glory

Breathin’ See, I try to live free but life’s got me in it’s hold Grippin’ on my soul and I don’t know Just how much more of this that I can take Lord, take me away to some place safe Please? I’m on my knees Hands masking my face, I ain’t got no cheese Nothin’ to smile about, I am not at ease And when my passion burns out, I spark my trees Just to keep going, I know that seems hopeless But the high lifts me up and slows down these moments So that I can seize on it, I’m just being honest In this altered state of mind, I can see promise Like anything is possible with just a thought and so To the top I go over obstacles Just give me another day and let me live my life And I swear, I’ma do it right this time Anotha breathe, anotha second, where life gets so hectic Days are too long and at nights you’re so restless Fight and then forget it, mind is inattentive As your soul remains lost right where you left it But you can’t stand to look at the man who’s shook In the mirror, it’s gettin’ clearer what the fears have took From you…I know…I’ve been there too And I know, nothing’s worse than not knowing what to do But trust, it gets better, pain ain’t forever If you make it out the storm, you can take on any weather I swear…there’s a point to it all You were made to get back up anytime that you fall And it’s crazy ‘cause you’re scared that maybe if you dared To pray he will be there to save you from despair But have a little faith, just make it through the day And I promise…you gon’ be okay

Young Love Hold up shawty, wait a minute…slow down Who’da thought that you and I would be on separate roads now There was no doubt in my mind, at the time Adolescence thought we destined, mesmerized by your essence You was everything that I thought I wanted I was caught in teenage logic, thought forever was a promise My first kiss, my first class, my first this, my first that Can’t believe what you taught me would have this impact On my life, I still remember, jumping on those steps Where I held you in my arms, you put your head on my chest In that instant was forever, and infinite moment Words spoken through our motions and silence was golden Though that will never fade, memories remain the same People change, appreciate who’s in your life every day Two people are acquainted, best friends become strangers But love continues on through the ages [Hook] Young love, my young love Every minute of the day it’s you I’m thinking of And no one can compare To those little moments you and I will always share Baby, I know and uh, you know That a piece of my heart you can always call home And y’know, y’know that this will be forever our song

Conversing with the cosmos, ping pong with the comets Dancing ‘round Saturn, having races with the rockets Staring contest with the sun, at the apex of my game Now watch me blowing up…Big Bang [Hook]x4

When your back’s against the wall And you cannot face the fall After giving it your all You stop living for tomorrow Trapped in a moment of feeling hopeless while your soul is Wandering around lost in the open just going through the motions …Blurring visions with the potions So potent, you begin to lose focus And everything you ever did Did it ever mean a thing?? Maybe to them it never did But for you, you’re better since They let you go ‘cause truth be told, they held you back You’re beautiful and no one else determines that Lesson learned, shake it off, leave it in the past You were burned but like a Phoenix, rise up out the ash [Hook]x2 I was tryna’ be someone for somebody else Now I do it for myself x3 When your best just doesn’t cut it And they’re thinking nothing of it When it’s hard to make ‘em love it And you’re close to saying “fuck it” But nu-uh, you done came to far, what the fuck they take you for?? They tryna’ rain on your parade, it’s up to you to make it pour Give them all your heart and soul until they cannot take no more And then it’s back to the lab until you cannot make no more ‘Cause you’re something they ain’t used to They just hear Rapper and say “You too?? There’s a bunch of you on Youtube” Nah, homie, you are you, do You and no one else, fuck ‘em if they don’t respect it Go ahead and ask for help but trust me, homie, don’t expect it I know it’s hard for you to try when you feelin’ like you’re so neglected Just keep it real with yourself; I swear it’s so much better [Hook]x4

Success Is Revenge Society told me that I should be a lawyer… Or a doctor, I’m sorry to disappoint ya’ But I thought that I ought ta’ do what I wanna You can let them write your story but I’ma be my own author Parents stressing, every second, get yo’ act together Pen a sentence; ask the question, can I rap forever? Yes! It’s more than music, this shit is therapeutic I would lose it like remotes if I couldn’t share this movement I’ma do it but they doubtin’, see the hate in their eyes They hollerin’ and they howling, but they snakes in disguise I cut the grass, came down to earth, the smoke has been cleared They don’t wanna see me blow ‘cause they ain’t going nowhere That’s what they don’t get, they be trapped by freedom’s twin I can’t stand to be complacent, so I’m always dreaming big Ask me what I do it for, I’m tryna’ aid the kids Success is not an option, it’s the only way to live We was raised about the same but with age some things changed I’m still down to risk it all and they just wanna play it safe But that ain’t me, crunching numbers…or typing at a desk I ain’t dissing your careers but I won’t settle for nothing less Than leaving marks on this planet, when I’m gone, they gon’ remember That infinity is just a thought and MaJiK is forever …when I’m gone, they gon’ remember …Infinity is Just A Thought…MaJiK is forever

Forever On Some Fly Shit …I want more than just the glory I’ma tell you where I’m going but I’ll start with my story Look, I grew up good, never in no hood The suburban life most wished they could Have but I’ll admit that I was selfish Took for granted what I had, wanted more, I couldn’t help it See, I did what I was told, I mean, most the time And when I didn’t, a little mercy’s what I hoped to find But I gotta thank my parents, they were fair and they were just Everything that they did, they did it out of love Taught me with good deeds came rewards And bad behavior was punished, pick your wall Dad sold computers, moms did the tax Weren’t rich, just technologically advanced So I’m humble when it comes to these little gadgets What my friends didn’t have, I usually had it The example that they set was that of hard work They came here to live their dreams and now it’s my turn …But it took me some time ‘Cause for the longest, I was dealing with the fact that I could die At any moment, so to cope with, I was zonin’ Only stress that I had, I was smokin’ Now I’m floatin’, 5 years between school, work and homies Hated being at home but no idea where I was going …’Til my eyes finally opened Reevaluated my reflection in these poems As I look at the years when I was a stranger What I called “not giving a fuck” was just misplaced anger At the world…’cause I was the nice guy Who never got the girl that I liked …So all I did was feel sorry Compensated for the lonely void with a bunch of parties But no amount of liquor could blur out the fact That I lost sight of my future being caught up in the past Wondering why it couldn’t last when it was staring right at Me in my face and now it’s, no more looking back! … it wasn’t the world, it was me Seeking approval from people I didn’t need People who couldn’t see the person that I’d be They kept fighting with the vision so I threw ‘em the peace!

I Am Not A Rapper Just someone who raps I’m a poet to the English Language and the feet to my pen when it runs on the pad Trying to escape the chaos in my mind Attempting to reach the answers at point B from point A and the only way I know how to get there is by writing these rhymes…Finding the line…That connects my past to this instant So that it can direct me towards the future after I finish…The thought I’m the voice to the sequence of words I’ve put off Caught…in the moment, I bite my tongue before I speak in fear of saying something wrong I’m a sponge absorbing every experience, all the stories and accounts, each bit of information the world has to offer Throw it all into a melting pot and water….My soul like the seed my father….Engrained in my mother’s womb, I foster I’m a child in a grown man’s body because I haven’t lost my sense of wonder I still stare up at lightning and count the seconds to hear the thunder…Scream for recognition Because I too just want to be heard, bare witness….To a soul who just wants to be loved No kid grows up….Wanting to be different until they realize that they are I’m a star 99% Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium, Phosphorus 1% all of it…makes 100% WILL So don’t tell me I’m not until….You tell me what you’re made of first I’m a protector of our earth I see the way she’s treated, it’s undeserved…Hurt….By men who’ve long forgotten that it was her precise chemical balance….That allowed for the exact circumstances….For us to be planted And we continue reduce her life producing resources disguised as advances….And I can’t stand it Because I am human Obsessed with improvement See, I know my flaws, I’m aware of my faults but when I look in the mirror I see a student…Willing to ask the hard questions They said life is a test; tell me, why are we’re all guessing? We count every second…Before we can clock out but not enough of our blessings I’m just one person But if I can do my best not to worsen…The life of another then I’m not so worthless…And if I can be of value to just someone else, it’ll all be worth it So I spend time working…On the right way to make these words fit….Like a key into your head and unlock your potential I want you to know you are special…And that you can do anything you want if you hard work and practice Just access your Joie De Vivre A joy for life beyond ends by a means…And if I can move a crowd when I let my pen speak Then I am energy…at the root…MC
