Contribution To Change

I’m so mentally inclined that what I write is lyrically
underlined as too far ahead of it’s time.

We’re going to take a ride where many thoughts,
feelings, and statements will be expressed, yet in
the end there will be only one question left.

I’m a verbal assassin when I’m writing, killing trees
as I prove easily that you’re not better than me
creatively or intellectually.

See I mentally murder many minds while I creatively
devise a plot planning to perfectly place people of
poverty in positions of power to survive.

I understand that this is my role to play in this game,
but I wonder have you identified with your
contribution to change.

It’s time to change what we identify with as what’s
cool, all these weak rappers with their shallow
lyrics are just recreating the fool.

I wonder, what happens when writing withers, what
will we want waiting while we waste time talking
to those that think they tell the truth through
the daily deception displayed during discussions
determining dollars. Our current currency
catastrophes create climates causing cheap choice
choosers choices, easily evaporate everyday.

Tell me, why does the NBA draft seem like a modern
day slave trade?

The team’s master standing on stage calling the next
niggas name, while the owner is in the back
playing the multi-trade a nigga game.

These are the things the untrained eye doesn’t see,
that’s why we started CV20/20 and Thought360.

See at all times I keep one eye open like CBS, looking
at Ted Turner secretly publicize his corruption on TBS,
only exposing my son to some of the stuff
on PBS because everything else on T.V is just B.S.

America has gotten hooked on reality T.V., now tell
me how much reality can there be when the
camera dictates what you see.

I know I took you on a ride of highs and lows, I’ve
even exposed you to some information that not
everyone knows.

I told you at the start that I was going to creatively
and intelligently exercise your mind, so I hope
you’ve been keeping up this whole time.

We all have our Godly ordained roles to play in this
game, so now you can answer the one and only
question that remains,

What’s your Contribution to Change?

  1. Good to see the first poem up for the world to view. I've been on this journey with you since the begining, I can't express how excited I am for you. This book will ignite the fire in so many to recognize the damage we are doing to ourselves, and our communities by not standing up. It will put food for thought on the minds of those capable of contributing to change, but neglect their rightful place. God has blessed you with the ability to SEE through the smoke n mirrors of deception; and he has given you the gift of writing. Stay focused, and enjoy the ride. Keep your phone on, Oprah's calling!!!
