"Tha Poet"



July 27th of '84- The day that I stepped through Life's door,

The obstacles have been many- And I'm prepared for many more.

I've ducked, dodged and hurdled past everything in my way,

It's ironic that now I face a challenge everyday.

I'm doing what I can to make it- Trying to broaden my Life's range,

Not quite sure if I can take it- But I know I'll never change.

And the strain on my back- Is continuously increasing,

I've got the world on my shoulders- As I try to spread my teachings.

I must keep my eyes peeled- Concentrating straight ahead,

I'm a man on a mission- I can't waste all the blood that I've bled.

Or the tears that I've shed- I must fight through the pain,

No matter what the torment or grief- I promise I'll never change.

It gets hard to stay focused- So many distractions surround me,

Nearly getting pulled to the deep end- As depression tried to drown me.

Getting back on my own two feet- It was an arduous task,

Finding temporary happiness- But of course it didn't last.

Although it gets tiresome- Some find it strange,

I do it without much help- This is me- And I'll never change.

From the time I could walk- My path has always been unseen,

I've always traveled alone- And these streets are mean.

No pity and no sympathy- Only the strong survive,

The weak die early- I'm fighting my ass off to stay alive.

I've followed the footsteps of demons- Stared into an Angels Eyes,

I've had hate come my way- Been visited by hurtful lies.

Darkness has filled my life- I've been followed by clouds of rain,

I get my umbrella and flashlight and continue- 'Cuz this is me- And I'll never change.



"Tha Poetic Son"



Came out the womb - With a first, middle, and last name

Staying true to that name - While in search of this fame

This is me everyday - POE - I never change

Spawned, from the belly of the beast - Forever loving - Comic relief

I sometimes start, promote, and welcome beef

Its all love - Im trying to keep people on their feet

But mostly me - I cant fathom defeat

A sore loser - Why? - Im a naturel born winner

A birthed go-getter - A diamond in the rough

That needle in the hay stack - My life made me tough

But no - Most say I talk to much

Not understanding - Im trying to raise the bar up

Not only for you - But for me

Why cant you understand - Im just being me

What I was - What I will - What I always will be

What you get - Is what you see

Young - Wise - Black -And cocky

Four major principles  - That make up thee

That always shall be - Because I always felt - I would die early

That's why I lash out - For those to hear me

That's why I - Rap - Write - And drop poetry

These days are numbered - Im approaching my slumber

Every call I get - I feel its my number

But no - Yall cant feel my pain

And no - You cant help me escape this rain

Im good by myself - I was born by myself

Fuck it - Im strong - Ima die by myself

Been threw ups and downs - From my life to my health

But that's another tale - That I normally keep to self

Only told a few - If you know - I feel close to you

Hope yall feel the same - Cause you know of my pain

But I write this for others - Who launch dirt on my name

From the ones of the past - To the ones of the present

This is a gift - Except it as a present

From me to you - Insert it in your brain

Always remember

I came out the womb - With a first, middle, and last name

Staying true to that name - While in search of this fame

This is me everyday - POE - I never change
