U can take this
I retire

This is the end
The beginning was sweet

I leave cuz I can no longer trust a so- called fam
****
How u did me man
All I had was tainted images
Maybe hallucinations
Of us as one nation
We all slaves to a subconscious mind
All this time, we satisfied with a few man’s grind
Everything I said, was ran over
Like paper in streets

So I retire
This defines my reason for rhyme
Not to touch the fame that shines
But this is yours, this is mine
I speak to you from a broken chair
As it write this here

With a headphone on

I leave cuz I’m in pain
Im trapped in a world that was whipped with a cain
Where society places Asians
Higher than African abrasions
When the Middle East is full of hate
Passed on from generations that procreates
More hate
Will exist
This is no theory
The conspiracy to defeat man, not only man
But those who contradict religious sects
This is the set, python set me str8, now I’m set

So I retire

I leave cuz, the misery of soilders with pregnant lives
Snatched away, brainwashed and forced to see friends die
This is where my victory lie
While bush is a hundred miles from in a ranch tainted with lies
Victims, young people who had little guidance
Flagrant parenting is the reason, bin laden hiding
If I speak lies, then let me go in peace
I only spoke for black power cuz we ain’t peace
I wonder would we still march
Cuz we fat and lazy, and how we gon have power if we can’t pay me

So I retire

Cuz we turn backs on our own
Business is closed
Ten years deep, just now wearing our own clothes
When we grow our feed, instead of feeding like sheep
Theres gotta be more, we like stranded sheep
In a valley of death, it wasn’t written for nothing
People dies for a vote, the polls show nothing
No response for lives taken over
I’m not a poet, I just write the feelings of soldiers
Who fight to survive
How we survive when cages eat our men alive
If women outnumber men
How can we still stand

So I retire

Life is platinum
It’s tainted
Slaves to a mind

That’s it
The poet known as thespokesman is done
I spoke it?
Or did I fail

since my signature is disabled
tainted platinum
from bummin 2 a buspass

a dream a generation can attend to is the fire i spit

to all poets here, i enjoyed but i retire from this life of write
am i right
will i ever post my work
don't know
its time to enter the draft cuz the league is waiting
i promise when i make it d will drop the words most men don't want to read
god bless

love
