The Conviction
To speak what I believe
Got me feeling like
The 1st amendment is a felony
Jailing freedom of speech
Mirandized, Full of greed
But everybody gotta eat
And there’s no such thing
As starving a beast
We living in a world of need
Opportunities
Few and far between
Hope getting harder to see
While Beliefs
Skipping stones on dreams
As the Spiritual Realm
Clashes with Reality
The Cosmos are Battling
And it ain’t a baby that’s rattling
Hell getting adamant
Banks went bust
No cashing in
Or cashing out
You either stuck in a drought
Or you drown
Don’t look down
Or you might see
A generation of long shots
With scopes and slingshots
Aiming for a way to make the pain stop
Or at least turn the hate off
Looked in the mirror
It said I fought
I responded with
I fight
Golden in the zone
Kill the lights
We bout to slay some demons
Hi haters guard your life
I got
Plato
In the scope
He dies tonight
My God is My Might
Yeah, I don’t really like clones
And I don’t really write poems
I’m just an Ascendant
With a Nice Flow
Hell and Back
Say I’m Twice Known
The Rose Gold Natural
Instincts factual
Intuition actual
And what some call impossible
Is my casual
This is just how my soul
Talks to me
Legacy
My pen walks with me
What I share with you’ll
Is so you can march with me
Or share a heart with me
In a world where
Words are symphonies
Breathes epiphanies
And our footsteps beat for centuries
Lord
Is anyone listening
Shouting let my people go
As long as we’re living
We’re winning
But this victory lap ain’t finished
So, sale your cloak and get sword
Rumors of war
Fore
God is all
When weapons are holy
Believe me when I say you don’t know me
I ain’t Toby
I’m Rising
Gliding
Grinding
Feel like I’m finding
Hidden Vibrations
And with all my words
All I can say for what I feel is
Kill it
Ignorance needs to die
And that means,
No more touch screen hypnosis
Put your phone down, get focused
All that other shit is bogus
But this rounds the bonus
Insights like oceans
Empathy, can you hold this
Cheers, here’s hoping
Going Golden
The wrath ain’t folding
And I know that you knowing
Our banking system is a fraud
Our judicial system is a fraud
Political system, fraud
So all day
Everyday
We all getting robbed
Without intelligence and integrity
All liberty is lost
If you a coward,
Here’s your stop
For the rest
It all started with a thought
The shadows on the wall
Could be used to deceive
Trap the mind and make’em sheep
But never let em think
And slaves, can’t read
So those shadows
Became flat screens
Among other things
Like Programing
Industrial complexes and idols
Everywhere you look you being lied to
These are the facts
Or what your opinions
Irrelevance aspires to
The sad but true
Here and now
And nowadays,
most of you’ll just see through
You see,
They had your whole life
Planned for you
From, Prussian schooling
For their hierarchy
To using insecure men
Reinforcing a patriarch
Of blind pride
That’ll put us all in the dark
But I, got a spark
Hair Trigger
Light is the scope
I’m just a prism
In the hands of a cut throat
Named Balance
Welcome to the Challenge
To overcome all obstacles
Until all you know
Is an Essence
That is and isn’t your own
The common sense
Somebody stole
Whitewashed in Rome
Then Crusades
That tried to set the Truth ablaze
But the all consuming fire
Shale ignite their shame
Into Pink Mist
Yeah Rome is burning
And your house might too
But I don’t talk I tattoo
Let me Tat you
With the immortal words of God
I Am
Now be who you are
Now is when you start
And that one shot
A make’em all drop
Fragment
And you can see through the facade
You ever step back and think
What are you being taught
What are you learning
What are we earning
Replacing mothers with a mistress
Raising kids to be midgets
Mini me’s generation
Stunt the growth
Breakaway faith and call it hope
The man made hoax
Just caught one through the throat
Greetings
To Oxford from Toledo
The Federal Reserve
From those never printed on your pasos
The Monuments
From the Geometry that made you
Hello World
It was the Mighty Moors that saved you
And if you, speak now
Only blood comes out
Now watch, as the cave comes down
They’ll say
It was a Revival
Then a Revolution
And only Truth came out
Or karma finally came around
As a Pantheon
Look up to see the path I’m on
The too strong
What went wrong
Is they turned Our Truths
Into Al Andalus
Now we forbidden yet famous
And fake friends and the faceless
Got me fracturing phase
Vencci
Don’t get lost in translation
I’m ambitious and bout my business
Envisioned enrichment
Looking for treasure in the trenches
Conviction on a mission
Your Brother in Love and Truth
