Giving Thanks

Just thankful to be alive, and know the things that I know
Thankful for the sun that persuades the plants to grow from the seeds we sow
Thankful for the black women. Thankful for the black man, I’m here now.

Thankful for the word, sound, and power
Vibrations to destinations release revelations hour to hour

Thankful for the spiritual guidance
And even when I wanna be loud, I move in silence
So thanks for the self-control, cause even my discipline gets disciplined

Thanks for the people that came into my life and thanks for the people that walked out
I either learned a lesson or gained a blessing
And even both in some cases
I either got right or got left, even both in some cases
I either did the crime or did the time, or even both in some cases

I either did the helping or the neglecting, and eventually along my ways I met karma, underrated but yet never a bitch, karma is the truth, yes she is – You Do Dirt You Get Dirt (Simple and Plain)

Life is an ongoing cycle, give thanks to the circle, from the color red to the color purple, from the speedy rabbit to the slowly turtle, from the smallest leap to the highest hurdle, from the non-producing to the finest fertile, from the alpha to the omega    4 Words- One Love Give Thanks

We are the air to the throne

Of course with the power of the higher one

1.   Blackness = Greatness

2.   Redness = The Blood We Shed

3.   Greeness = The Fresh Lands of Rich Soil So Lovely and Fertile

Should never lack anything because everything comes from within
Like a lion, he’s the king of the jungle – Rule Your Kingdom

Queens turn Empresses, Lay down your foundation and spread your positivity

I + I = Inity ; we come together and inite as 1 with Love for iver and iver   Pure.

Brainwashed if you don’t know what im talking about or at least a clue, and I shouldn’t even say brainwashed I should say brain-dirty, cause most of our folk need a brainwash
If you blame the white man for all of the reasons you do not have money, you might need a brainwash
If you believe that Barrack Obama is truly about the liberation of black people, you might need a brainwash
If you truly believe that the homosexuality issue in the black community is normal, you might need a brainwash

If you still waiting on this supernatural person with blonde hair and blue eyes to come and save you, then you definitely need a brainwash and the list goes on and on and I can go on and on

To the Go

To persuade or control, the primary role, why sell your soul to reach a goal, you digging a bigger hole, that’s not how it goes
We must preserve the souls, reverse the roles, balance the poles, and study what grows cause energy goes where attention flows

To destroy or rebuild? What’s the reasons you kill? You would say that you REAL, but ni**a you frail, and I could bet you a bill or I could bet you a meal         Check the Deal

Robbery, persons, places, and things
We’re all of Royalty, so why you robbing the kings?

I didn’t hire you fire you mis-educate you or lie to you

I think we both know who did that, see you just scared to react

(cause) when the slave catcher comes to put you in chains and lock you away, you don’t bust ya gun
YOU JUST RUN!

When he comes to split the family, like auction ya children off
You just let him, and claim it’s the law such a coward, so cowardly so
They leave ya hood filthy rich, suit and tie and you just let them go

You Know What Your Problem Is and Let It Be Clear, It’s FEAR

Don’t Forget

Nobody knows what we go through
Thoughts to be rude (alone) in solitude

Fight and cuss, slice and buss, from light to dusk some slaves had guts
Cause days was rough and life is tough, but enough is enough
It’s time to Rise Back Up

So mis-informed, a lack of knowledge, you can’t forget your roots
Replacing religion over culture, No just teach the youths the truth

I don’t know where you might be going, and I don’t know where you have been
But no matter how far you travel, you can’t get out ya skin

The Black Skin is a Symbol for National Greatness

So what’s the problem? You invented inventions
So what’s the problem? You connected connections
So what’s the problem? You rule the world
You forgot! That’s the problem

You are (1 with) the Most High
The problem is you forgot!

Well, I’m here to remind you that you are great. Just think of me as your spiritual and material reinforcement. In closing with great words from the excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey – l leave you with this- “Up You Mighty Race, Accomplish What You Will”

Why not love my locks?

Why not love my locks?

What’s so strange about it?

The way it curls like a baby  or,

The way it stands out on its own

The way it swings when I walk  or,
The way it catches your stare when I talk

Natural roots they spring into trees with leaves of knowledge

The offense you take, the regards you make, and hassles I get when going state to state, its like my life’s at stake, Damn, gimmie a break

(So) What’s the big fuss about the natural lust

Rejection to European beauty standards is what I truly adore
We need more natural sisters- More More More

My locks is not a style, neither a fad, nor impression
My locks is a weapon, it helps me fight against oppression

I’m not afraid to show it and I’m not afraid to grow it

Information, dedication, and confirmation is wrapped up in my hair

Which wraps around my crown

So thick so tough so strong so long

So black and untrapped just my appearance is an attack

Come into job interviews with my image mis-construed
Unculture myself just to fit what works for you

Cut my hair for what ??     No Just Leave Me Alone
½ of 1% is still the wealth we own
So if I cut my hair off, What Will The Black Man Own?

​Family
 
Mother like Africa

Father like a King

Brothers go through battles
Sisters like to sing

Aunties always there, guidance through the land

Journey through the village
Friends lend a hand

You can keep em close, but keep your distance
We were born in the wild, so know your true born instincts

Uncles are there, they watched you grow
Their nieces and nephews, well, they had a lot to show
You learned from them, you earned from them and that’s just how it goes

Blood is thick, water is thin
And if adopted at young, where do you begin?

A mother is loving, believe it or not
A father is wise, untangle the knot
He figures it out and leads the pack

Solid families stick together
Just think about it and you’ll see what I mean
Sisters are delicate, like it or not  she’s somebody’s queen

Aunty, that’s mama’s sister, just ask her  she’ll tell ya
Uncles are older us, been through it and done done it
Cousins and friends, well okay they’re alike

Blood stains and water runs, which one do you like
 
[My Family I Heart em]

​The Formula
 
As it was in the beginning so will it be in the end
We never stared with slavery, because we was surrounded by luxury

Living in harmony was fun for me, but now you see the thug in me
But what you perceive is not what we believe, and the fire is hot it’s like a thousand degrees
And its no cooling down, not even a breeze

(Casue) we tired of the lies and we know the truth
We tired of the scams so gimmie the loot
We tired of hard labor while others bare our sweet fruit
And we tired of hearing about young Black boys who police execute
So its like damn! Should we loot? Should we shoot??

ORGANIZATION + ECONOMICS = POWER
(I just gave you the formula, now the secret is to have no fear)

To burst into the industry with business initiatives is our motive
But we wont do it Your Way! We’ll be creative because new trends are created everyday
Black youths be wise, they see the realness in your eyes, they see the toughness in your hair,
they hear that drumbeat when you talk, its just the vibration you give off, your presence is attraction-
But for those that truly know this, the percentage is less than a fraction

So yes ORGANIZATION + ECONOMICS = POWER, yup that equals the plan
But education is the root of it all. Blackness we never fall, come together, we stand tall
