Miss You (pining 0.5 - 2)

Fuck if we aint kick it hard
Kid couldn't get a job, still you was wit it, I'm spittin, you printin business cards
Damn, I miss your heart, used to rest my head there
never thinkin next year, you would be my ex, yeah...
Where was I though? You used to make me comfortable, now I'm freezin cold at night, where did my covers go?
Where did my lover go? Damn I'm in trouble yo, cause since you left, straight stressed is my undertone
I still love you yo, I never tried to move on
I never missed a step, now it's hard to put my shoes on
You gone? It just doesn't sound right.
I hope I'm going deaf and just can't tell what love sounds like.
I drown mics, why can't I get your heart to pour?
Diamond in the rough. I miss being who you sparkle for.
Late nights and phone jonesing was the daily.
Now the fact that this is what I lack is what ails me.
Our tale seems far from over from where I'm standing.
I miss you, so come back home. I'm not asking. I'm demanding.

Freed

I used to be able to lie to myself.
I used to believe me.

Every time I said I wasn't special...
Everytime I said I wasn't amazing...
Everytime I said that I didn't deserve more...

I sure had me fooled.

Every barrier I let hold me back before, I have now shattered.

Every fantastic dream, I have brought into reality.

What I let them tell me was impossible, I have accomplished.

I've broken down their locked doors.

I've walked in their shoes, as they've refused to wear mine.

I've danced with the devil and played chords with the Gods.

I've done it all.

Then, just for kicks, I did it again.

I woke up and did everything they slept on.

I created opporunity out of adversity.

I stole the key to success and made copies for everyone around me.

I rode a long ride down a short path to destruction, and rebuilt myself.

I became FREE.

I freed my mind which freed my spirit.

My spirit freed my soul.

My soul freed my world.

My world freed... Me.

I can fly now.

Look, up in the sky. That's me.

Now that I know what I can do it's impossible to bind me again.

I'll never land.

Walking is for liars.

I've left my shoes for you......

Black Love has been destroyed....

I am enraged and I am saddened. I tremble as my vengeance brews.

Mark my words, dear scholars, I shall show you pain. Study well my friend, study well.

Destroy ME? Impossible. Your mind is not so clever.

I am energy. I am life. I am love. I am everything.

Destroy ME? How dare you wretches believe yourselves worthy of such a bold endeavor?

I am joy. I am vitality. I am peace. I am everything.

Destroy ME? Laughable, at best.

I am the thread of life's tapestry. I am the warm summer wind. I am the smile on an innocent face. I am everything.

Destroy ME? Surely, you jest.

I am the stone that shapes the diamond. I am the gravity that orders balance. I am the tie that binds. I am everything.

Destroy ME? A task fit for a fool.

I am grace. I am Heavensent. I am eternal. I am everything.

Destroy ME? A joke, so very cruel.

I am here. I am now. I am awakened. I am everything.

I am Black Pride. I am Black Unity. I am Black Love.

You have sent your slave ships.

You have sent your Plantation masters.

You have sent your Klansmen.

You have sent your Willie Lynch program.

You have sent discrimination, incarceration and degredation.

You have sent your crack epidemics.

You have sent in your propoganda experts to tarnish my image.

You have been at war with me for a long time now. You will never win.

I am a conductor on the Underground Railroad.

I am a Black Panther.

I am a P-Stone.

I am a Blood.

I am a Crip.

I am the RBG movement.

I am Soul Music.

I am R&B.

I am Hip Hop.

I am a Summer cook-out.

I am a family reunion.

I am the smile between neighbors who have never formally met.

I am the rally against police brutality.

I am the march against injustice.

I am the Dream.

I am the means necessary.

I am the reason the struggle continues.

I am him, I am her, I am all of them.

I am the uppity Negroes, the disrespectful Niggers and the onary Jigaboos.

I am intelligent.

I am beautiful.

I am real.

I will soon be recognized and you will have lost.

Destroy Black Unity you say? I beg you to tell me the punchline.

Destroy Black Love you say? I am tickled to no end.

Destroy Black Pride you say? I invite you to lose again.
