These
Are words of a believer
Achiever

LEAder
Of the globe
Free

The souls
Of those
In need.

I bleed
The blood
Of the struggle

Walking over troubled
Puddles
The hustler's

In my chest
No hustling
No progress

Extremities of life in this process
The birth of a son, the death of ANOther
With LOVE I caress both mothers

And told
Them, "Who's in control,
It's the one that's above us"

I walk bread, money talks, and love stutters
Body language
Of a nation

Going through changes
The young become dangerous
Pain is

Mended into anger
Anger
Gets sent through the chamber

It's tough when your own look like strangers
We are the sons of gangsters
And stone rangers

If you could have an early March, rang us
Look at the picture, it's hard not to blame us
We're trying

... ? in the Chi
Where the young die
Often

Do they end up in a coffin
Because we haven't taught them?
Is it what we're talking?

We really ain't walking
Huge hustler's faith, how much did it cost him?
By myself on the same corner that we lost him

Real talking
In their ear like a Walkman
My thought's been around the corner, to the world

So when I see Him, I see my baby girl
The Lord
Lives among us

The younger's
Hunger
Becomes a

Means to get it, by any ways nece-
Ssary under
Pressure

Children
FEELin'
Lesser

With the STEEL upon the dresser
Kill
At Will

Aggressors
Destiny's children
Survivors

Soldiers
In front of buildings
Their EYES look older

It's hard to see blessings
In a VIOlent culture
Faced against weapons

SIRENS, holsters
That ain't the way that Langston
Hughes wrote us
Soul control us
On the shoulders

Of Moses
And Noah
We go from being Precious to Oprah
Culti-
Vated to over-

Come ever since we came over-
Seas the day
In a way
That you can see it
He de-

Termined
The SOLAR keeps burning
Shorty's KNOW TA keep learning
Lessons in our life
Are like

Stripes
That we earning
I took Grant's advice
That Christ is returning
Like a the thief in the night
I write for beacons of light

For those of us in dark alleys
In parched valleys
Street hits spark rallies
Of the CONscious
CONquerors
Of a CONtest
That seems

Beyond us
Even through the unseen
I know that God watches
From one King's
Dream
He was able to Barack us
One King's

Dream
He was able to Barack us
One King's
Dream
He was able to Barack us

Believe, Believe, Believe, Believe...
