PREAMBLE - Reading and writing are serious acts.

We will read, write, and think to challenge ourselves to reject dependency on others to motivate and educate us. We will study with a serious mindset and a high degree of resolve. We will begin to live with greater authority over our own lives as we seek to understand ourselves and the universe.

  1. I am not a good writer. I didn’t do so good in school.
    Drugs, girls, parties and all the bad choices.
    Being at the wrong place at the wrong time,


    unexpected

    they call me a shorty
    but i have to prove i'm the man
    so i do things with the mindset that i don't give a damn
    i want to better myself that's the plan
    but life isn't always as planned
    i always expect the unexpected
    so when life takes its twist and turns
    i'm not sitting there hurt

    I See Vision

    I build for benefits
    What’s in life you need to succeed?
    Fire from wood that burn
    Mindset is a powerful sign
    Motivate to improve your experience
    Water bigger than metal
    Reading replaced by bigger and better matters
    Our lives important
    I make things harder


    KEEP PUSHING
    trust nun but yourself cause people be fake
    bad things keeps happening too me
    can’t love people cause they ain't loyal
    I keep losing people I love
    streets been there more for me instead of my family
    i try to challenge myself but i can’t succeed
    Life's hard without motivation
    I haven't had freedom since i was 13 years old


    I don’t know what to write about.
    I don’t know why.
    I haven’t written in a while
    I haven’t been to school for a while.


    Who am I

    Who was I? I was the one locked out forced to do a crime.
    Who am I? I was the bad shorty that’s thirsty to go outside.
    Who am I? I was just sitting down with nothing else but time.
    Who are you? You judging behind your disguise.
    Who am I? I’m the black shadow bouncing up the street.
    The police don’t harass anyone but me.
    Who am I? I’m the one that’s successful by myself.
    Who are you? You like to depend on everybody else.


    The Shadow Past

    Your actions you do
    affect the people around you.
    No matter what you do to resolve your problems.
    Different minds will always have a second thought about you.
    To keep moving without looking back.
    To change the things you once did,
    but still being known as a convicted felon.
    Being known as a child who does drugs, to a child trying to start off on a clean slate.
    Always double thoughts if you didn’t even committed the crime.
    No matter how many times you plead, you'll always be considered a convicted felon.
    That's what people will always see.

    SET UP


    I Am A Young Black Man

    Made For Failure

    Not To Make It Alive Past 21

    If So Locked Up For Life

    I Am A Young Black Male

    Just Trying To Survive

    And Another’s Man World

    Made To Look Past The Good

    And Notice The Bad

    When There’s Nothing But Good Energy Around Me.
