complications

To Leondra(my girlfriend sister)

Leondra you and i both know we haven't been seeing each other eye to eye
But hopefully you'll realize i love you also as time rolls by
I feel as though i can be the one to make trice happy
Please listen to my words though they may make me seem a little sappy
Without diminishing my feelings for her
I love her eternally and would give my life if i had to for her
Though you have heard that line before you can tell i mean it from the heart
I've been like this and you know it from the very start
I enjoy having arguments with you and it can be very entertaining
But you know you can start thinking of some wedding presents you could be bringing
I'm not going to do anything to mess this up i want it real bad
I want to be the father of her children and a real good dad
Though i may not say it i look up to you and admire your accomplishments
Just work with me through this mission so i can leave people in an astonishment
But not for anything bad you know me better than that
I use to be a bad person but now i'm taking it back
I'm trying to right where i was wrong and make amends for my criticism
Thats why i'm a firm believer in God and had to go through the baptism
From all of those that follow me protect your essence
I love you future sister-n-law and i enjoy your presence

To the Class of 08

May is coming soon and you know you're all going to be missed
Try hard to contemplate on the things you face in the future before you're dismissed
Use your head and take the world on its not gon be easy
"Getcha mind right" as it was quoted by Jeezy
Believe me
I'm going to miss you all and some i could care less about
Most of ya'll i love and don't forget it without a doubt
Over the years you've gained knowledge to help you out on this journey
I put my trust in God and hope that you make it so it doesn't worry me
Graduation day is right around the corner
So do what you gotta do so you can rest during the summer
Your last year in school some of ya'll thinking everything is cool
When you'll actually end up back next year in the same ol' school.
So to my friends that i appreciate dearly i want to leave you with this
Try to get your job done and you'll always be missed...

To my friend Arnecia

You've been through a lot battling struggles and all out wars
Come to think of it going through this stuff was maybe done for a good cause
Without battling the fights you have you wouldn't be the person you are today
So never again shall you get in a corner and try to cry your problems away
Stand up and fight for tomorrow is not promised today
Even though things sometimes look grim dont give up just say "nay"
Hidden deep within time was a special date saved until this fateful time
Today you turn 18 and now its your time to shine
Trouble always come and they stay as long as you let them
God gives people the power to bare wit it and carry them
People have their own outlooks and different perceptions of life
Life doesn't treat you wrong you just aint treatin it right
But in spite
Instead of using all these things unconventionally
Live your life right and just forget the publicity
In the end God's gonna show you whats right
So until then you're only gonna live on life
One chance to turn 18 and enjoy it
One chance to bury the past or restore it
One chance to look down on the haters for good and never turn back
Keep your composure up and cut none of them no slack
I'm wishing you a happy birthday and this is from me to you
Everything you ever wished for i hope that it all comes true
So do your thing today and always stay true to you
Happy Birthday Arnecia you know I'll always have love for you.

To my friend Raven

Everything has changed and its only been one year
To all my friends keep ya head up and don't shed no tear
We've came a long way just think about what we use to be
But now a days we've became religious and started bowin down on our knees
To my sister Raven, man i know you've been through a lot
But keep ya head up rae, the devils the only one thats tryin to get you to stop
But never drop, no matter the weight on your shoulder
Its all a test and in the end you won't be sayin "i shoulda told ya"
Lets keep it movin
I know a lot of people out there are lost
Value your life cause its worth a lot more than what you think it costs
But don't back down, people love to hate when you are down
Lets just diminish all the constant variables of my sentence
My friends i love ya'll do death and vengeance is really sinning
God's the one who's winnin so kick it with the priest and he'll attack the devil like a beast
Its unlikeable diabolical just to make it through the day
All your enemies wanna see you fade in the wind and past away
But don't give them the joy of seeing you sad
For 16 years i've been too strong
I'm tryin to keep all of ya'll happy so thats why i'm holdin on
Even though people have past in your life don't let that change you
Keep on strutting and doing what you do and nothing will be able to phase you
Its all a test and its your choice to figure out how to pass it or not
The cards are in your hand lets see what you do with the time he'll allot....


ONE TRY

All I need is one life one chance to live with one try
Life is crazy people shooting mean mugs with no eyes
Rustling in the streets getting the things that you need
With only one crib to live in and one kid that you feed

People don't understand the struggle when they try to interpret it
But all the streets need is one messiah and they don't know find it troubling
Each night you find yourself lying in bed
Praying to your God and sometimes even wishing you were dead

Daddy never around only ties to you is the child support
Mama always in the streets giving her men support
Leaving you at home at a young age
To turn the page
That'll be suicidal to look without a 12 gauge

Now you're 17 and you're out on your own
never really knew your father but knew you had a life of your own
Can't waste time with one mistake He called a pregnancy
He doesn't know he's putting his sons trust in jeopardy

Eventually
Things will get better is what you were told
Coke and weed aren't the only things your family sold

Still on the same pace living life for you and your son
18yrs gone by since your birth and a new life has just begun

You know your fate is waiting for you and its only because of destiny
You can smell the death in the air and its throughout the vicinity
Insanity is not an option

It never solves things
Remember where you came from even in the mist of all things

The hood can be a bad place but it conjures a lot of good and bad people
If you put two and two together figure out which one do you equal.
