Untitled...

I remember tying to atone for the things in my past by trying to be a better human being/
Now I'm seeing the fruits of my labor are nothing more than covering up the carnal cravings I savor with flavors of the bland kind/
Steadily tiptoeing through life like my future is filled with landmines/
Wondering where I'm...going/
My past cant be changed/
My future can be rearranged and my present is nothing more than the fleeting feeling of chains/
Being broken that is...
Rather than hoping with fear/
I'm living with fire/
Because I'm trying keep going forward, love life, and inspire/

A whole new generatioN NIGGAS like me...
YES, I said "NIGGAS" like me...

Never Ignorant, Getting Goals Accomplished Steadily, like Tupac said...

Maybe you should look a little higher if the last line went over your head.

I once drowned myself in the sorrows of what I once wanted to be my forever/
Now I bend paperclips back over my dreams to keep my life together/
In my notebook/
I dog-ear these pages in an attempt to remember my innocence/
So that my life can stop being a reconciliation of intelligence and ignorance/

That's generally called cognitive dissonance...

I used to fight for freedom and now that I have it/
I'm helping others grab it/
There's nothing like seeing yourself for the first time/
Through your own eyes/
Then you realize that these cats who tried to give you real lies/
In an attempt to make you realize their/
Disconnected reality/
Was just another part of the devil's plan to trap you in this thing that they call "Insanity"/
While the whole time God just wanted you to ask that he/
Take...the burden...off....your shoulders...

Others' expectations are not your own/
So when you feel alone/
Unable to move on/
Or just damn through with the world...

Remember...that God...is love.

- Dope. I really love the imagery. Reminiscent of Saul Williams.
