Employeed

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare


Wish I could exist in a world without a care


Everywhere I look I see something getting took


So it just makes we wonder, ‘where is my share’


I was on a hustle, hustling hard, but it was the wrong path


Decided to do engineering because I was ‘good at math’


Now I’m at a cross road trying to figure out what’s next


Finally made it to the bus stop and they told me the ‘success’ just left


Miss one, another 15 minutes, another one isn’t coming


So now I have to walk down the long and narrow


Trying to stay positive, humming; ‘his eyes were on the sparrow’


I made some mistakes, and it’s not too late to change


I just want to be successful with ‘Dr’ in front of my name


Money isn’t my motivation, but to figure out my calling


Whatever it is, it still would be nice to be BALLING


Now the other subject at hand is the ‘yes you can’


Believing in yourself, and accomplishing the impossible


Proving to the world, that this girl is unstoppable


Jumping over hurdles like I was a beast in track & field


Fighting until my destiny is revealed

Overstand

I understand that it is a cold world even when it’shot outside

And a man would rather lose his life before losinghis pride

I understand that celebrities have the most moneybut they get everything for free

And that black men cannot be taken seriouslyunless they own a degree

I understand that in our generation SEX sells

And people who fornicate, lie, cheat, and steal,preach about how gays are going to hell

I understand that most rappers focus on sex,money, drugs, and guns

I understand that “church girls” aresometimes  the “worse ones”

I understand that every man is CREATED equal

But BACK THEN they didn’t even considered BLACKS aspeople

Say Something Crazy

For the record, I loved you

Or at least I tried

My biggest regret was letting you see me cry

I was tripping in this relationship, which you loved me not

And while in it I lost the essence of me,  snapshot

You kicked my heart, kick, kick, kicked my heart

And that was cool

I would dust it off and give it back to you, I was such thefool

I was lost in Shutter Island, going crazy with your mindgames

I did wrong, you did wrong, it didn’t matter, I was to blame

Fast forward to today, and I couldn’t thank you enough

Sometimes break ups can be more than tough

heartbreak shatters dreams

But through the cracks leaked  higher esteem

I would never let another make me crazy, make me baby, makeme crazy
