When you come to the breaking point, positive or negative, remember: ‘everything is falling together, and that only happens with time.’

Stuck in a loop. Don’t be sorry, but I broke the glass. Don’t be sorry/ Stuck in a Loop, and I’m on the Edge

You are clearly uncomfortable.

Don’t be sorry.

You clearly didn’t expect this to go on for so long? Shall I so long?

Farewell? Auf Wiedersehen? Good Ni

Good Morning!

Hey.

Is for horses I said good morning, But alright. You’re tired. You wanted this. I manifested you Prepared. With all my flaws I manifested you/

Shutdown I’ve been shut down. Don’t light the match, don’t burn the bridge be the light but the match is lit. And I want to drop it because it feels so good/

What did you expect? For me to be your pet? You’re birdie to come collect? How dare you. It was your bet/

We’re Sick n’ Tired of Being Sick n’ Tired

I’m sick n’ tired of being sick n’ tired My people runnin’ this race, their brow Sweatin’ They tired They brow is perspired Hearts always open Past the point of expired We sick and n’ tired. Mom I’m sick n’ tired.

God O, God I can’t breathe Seein’ black deaths after deaths We under siege I can’t believe I’m living in times like these Now we up in arms I can’t even say FUCK THE POLICE.

Cause I’m sick n’ tired of being sick n’ tired My people runnin’ this race, their brow Sweatin’ They tired Hearts always open Past the point of expired We sick n’ tired. Mom I’m sick n’ tired.

I know it’s time we throw it back in their face. Yes, Yes I’m talking about that thing called race. I know we’ve had our fill I know our cups runneth over I pray to God and ask Him when will this shit all be over. How many names we lost How many souls were shot How many more years do we have to carry this lot?

So let me tell you - JUST STOP Little boy blue You better stop blowing your shot In case you haven’t forgot So let me remind you The people that you’re killing are the people that you FINE. YES! We pay our share And every year you’ve taken 2020 WE FIGHT BACK. Beware, yeah, you better be shaken You shook And my people still wakin’ up, walkin’, workin’ round the clock. And all we want to do is cast out our lot. ‘Cause Muthafucker

We sick n’ tired We sick n’ tired We sick n’ tired Of being sick n’ tired My people runnin’ this race Wiping they brows Perspired Yes, legs are tired Hearts always open & past the point of expired We sick n’ tired Ma I’m sick n’ tired/

Outta gas No pit stop We outta gas Runnin’ on empty Sweatin’ the sweat of

Pain Fear Fire & tears We sick n’ tired Our souls are past the point of expired.

White tears? White shock? Please don’t ask We’ve had enough. GOOGLE IS FREE. Check your white affiliations What black people need right now Is white circle’s communication About the BS that is flying To stop our black bodies from dying Being killed & murdered To not have our black mothers crying WE DEMAND WHITE ACTION That will surpass & stop The white agenda It will call out AKA The specific white vendetta

Yes, Yes, Yes, Now that that I got your attention I’m sick n’ tired That history is repeating My people are sick n’ tired 24/7 And there hasn’t been no amendment/

So what we need to do We must come together Today Tomorrow & forever & ever That new day is today People will say we took it by force So that our black brothers and sisters can stay the course To just sleep in our homes gahdammit jog down the road Go about our business Instead of living in fear Cause it’s like living alone.

And the children don’t forget They don’t know from that age If they white or they black White parents Breed love, teach love Teach your children to see us So, if trouble comes They will step up & have our backs To see us. To lead with love It starts in the home

And at the end of the day We all look different But XX, XY We have the same chromosomes You know what I’m saying But right now I gotta dip cause, shit I’m sick n’ tired So much I’m done That’s it.

Guard Down

I let you in, I let you in, I let you in, It’s not a sin. I let you in, I let you in.

Then you go and say you don’t know me. Don’t know me then. It’s not a sin I let you in/

It’s a wonder - the thought of love, the thought of a person that you take away. The leisure of a human gaze, their mouth. They know exactly what to say.

It’s a wonder that it doesn’t go away. Like an imprint/

I let you in, I let you in, I let you in, It’s not a sin. I let you in, I let you in.

Then you go and say you don’t know me. Don’t know me then. You don’t want to know me/ And Here We Are

IN or OUT? Mixed signals Like a traffic officer on their first day.

We’re all adults here... say what’s on your mind because it’s out of our control. So if you need space take it and the time. Remember you took mine.

Don’t. Worry. About. Me. Please/

I am worrying about the Suns of June. Will I see them freely? Without walking on eggshells? And will I ever truly feel their full warmth without discomfort/

Ouch, You Hit Me in the Heart

Plans change and life still goes on. Ouch! You hit my heart And here we are 9 days down the road.

It’s like breathing with you, simple Like daybreak and nightfall/

Nervous and shy - we both caught a bad case of butterflies. And here I write the words leave my mind and paint the page.

I. Want. You/
