i think i can be
quiet
peaceful and flow
where i'm 'bout to go
but it's really been too quiet
out on the surface
while within my inner being it's been a riot
the way things be
even when accepted by the masses
aint necessarily where they should be
even though in classes
it's taught like that
can't just accept what i've been told
the histry i know
is way too cold
for me to be passive
thinking someone who historically didn't treat me right
could be automatically into teachin me right
and the forked tongue
didn't never get rid of it's fork
as far as i can remember or see
it aint been that dark
that it cudda just happened
and i missed it
and though that butt was turned up to me
i never once kissed it
i been watchin and prayin
and workin
with a little playin
keepin my head clear
gave up alcohol and dope
even niggerteen
it all dulled my hope
and this i came up with
and i think it's right
can't let rumors of change
stop my fight
to pull myself up
from the place the lies put me
and aint nobody gone do this
so i found........................but me
deception's alwayz
been the way that's tricked me
got me down on the ground
and then kicked me
right in my nuts
trying to destroy my future chances
cut off my progeny
stop all my advances
alwayz a sucka punch
conned me
got my confidence then screwed me
has this all suddenly changed
i aint waitin aroun tryna see
i aint listenin to some explanation
of who i am, how i feel, what i see and hear
it's all so very plain
as i stand here a survivor......enlightened without fear
