Like It Or Not

I'm in a black frat but not a union, I'm a confirmed nonpracticing catholic who occasionally receives communion, I'm an og outsider, too genuine to be a liar, even by omission, why do I need approval or permission, esp moving more in silence, killing haters with kindness, but most of all success, I'm blessed for always doin my best, simply out of love not fortune or fame, I take life seriously cuz it's not just a game, we only get one shot, like it or not, no man is an island, so stop wilin, learn to get along, but most importantly listen to my songs!

Peace and 1,

Isn't Truth Love

I'm a Gemini guy, with a dark side, cuz of don't say gay, and the reversal of roe v wade, gone backwards in time, money decides where the spotlight shines, miss the bliss of raw talent, no race can claim success's patent, I feel so excluded, by an industry completely corrupt diluted and polluted, classless unpoised both black and white noise, artists sold souls by choice while labels just exploit their voice

Ain't trying to hate nor appropriate cuz it's all love

Can't pray gay away y'all so help this homo bro up...like hip hop does 

Tho times are tough somebody should still give a fuck

Afterall isn't truth love

Do y'all even agree with Mike, it don't matter if ur black or white, racism exists in R.A.P. today, plus homophobia from the anti gay straights, based on ignorance or religion, numb and complacent from caucasian prison, ain't appropriating hating, just greatening my music making/creating, paying homage to the greats who came before, Lauryn Hill Mariah and Tupac Shakur, plus oh so many more, it's an authentic true legend's lyrical essence I adore for sure

Ain't trying to hate nor appropriate cuz it's all love

Can't pray gay away y'all so help this homo bro up...like hip hop does 

Tho times are tough somebody should still give a fuck

Afterall isn't truth love

Hurt people hurt people, not all whites are evil, let me be that guy, who exudes the epitome of ali, our revolutions cross paths/perhaps overlap, a unicorn is hard to grasp, only share ur opinions if asked, whenever I unmask many snicker scoff and laugh, shouldn't assume I'm a stereotype, experience can't be wrong or right, working on learning it's ok not to always be liked, still will love and cherish all colorful forms and walks of life

Ain't trying to hate nor appropriate cuz it's all love

Can't pray gay away y'all so help this homo bro up...like hip hop does 

Tho times are tough somebody should still give a fuck

Afterall isn't truth love

The New American Creed

There's so much behind the scenes, that y'all just don't see, today I feel the devil's got a hold on me, are we even free, why can't we just be, corporate capitalism takes the lead, at the expense of the needy's need, the rich are obsessed with greed, while the poor can't afford to bleed, nothing is truly as it seems, success isn't earned anymore it's deemed, I'm at the point I don't know what to believe, no matter how much I beg and plead, god just leaves, so I smoke weed, feels like what matters most is words not deeds, shouldn't bite the hand that feeds, all y'all happy illusions are another taunting tease, I'm down on my knees, praying for relief, from all the recent grief, fuck world peace,  if it ain't in the streets, can't stand another second minute day or week, of being a gay white rapper/kinky freak, nobody pays attention when I speak, so I'm forced to take a seat, face defeat, yet smile at a meet and greet, while trying to help my heart beat, not sure if it's a full moon or the heat, healthy food's too expensive to eat, and everyone's caught up trying to lie steal and cheat, cuz that's the new american creed!

Seems The Devil Has Won

I let fear silence me, stop the violence please, I keep hurting myself, not asking or accepting help, I worry about money, and how I take life so serious it's not even funny, I have such a dry sense of humor, don't believe the gossip and rumors, I ain't perfect, probably not even worth it, when I look back, all I see is what I lack, instead of a brave soul, time sure takes a toll, where did all my courage go, I have trouble ebbing with the flow, cuz I'm such an antagonistic prick, stubborn and thick, full of passion and drive, but totally ungrateful to be alive, cuz it feels like hell on earth, according to the bible and Shakespeare we are tragic sinners at birth, it's hard to see the beauty after trauma, now that it's just me and mama, our roles reversed, losing her will hurt the worst, but it's inevitable, I hope I haven't made my heart impenetrable, cuz I need love to replace what I've lost, inheriting great wealth but look at the cost, I'd trade it all to redo life again, I didn't realize my sister's life would abruptly end, I can't seem to heal, doesn't even seem real, I suck at love, despite I give great hugs, I often don't think I'm enough, yet my resilience makes me tough, only one left of my immediate blood, I think god loves to rub my face in the mud, he could solve my problems in an instant, it's mostly good luck I'm missing, ever gone compliment fishing, prayer isn't wishing, god ain't no genie, suck on my not so teeny weeny, cuz I'm done, the devil seems to have won!

Hypocrite Near Rhymes With Idiot Right?!?

I love u but I dont need u, do I need to repeat that dude, I love u but I don't want u is even worse, but my words won't hurt, unless u let them, respect son, it's earned I've learned I subscribe to the motto live and let die, let's get high, always always always question why, then why not, give everyday all u got, cuz we only got one life, that comes with endless hardship trauma and strife, still I try to spread truth consciousness love and light, nothing really matters unless u make it...and ya can't fake it...I'll say it again...nothing really matters unless y'all make it, the only truth I've ever known I experienced the lie, believe me as a masculine acting undercover homo lil bro Joe Prince Charming on the verge of king gay guy, I get u boo, I'm human too, rather humble bashful introverted and shy, when I'm not hiding or vibing behind a mic, u might like how Lauryn sang nothing even matters at all, but fuck all y'all hip hop haters like fuck cancer, where's the fair accountability apologies and answers, is it get what u give or give what u get, either way we gotta remember we're wicked blessed, simply for the reason ur breathing another day, action ur passion u can't pray pain away, I totally agree we need to separate church and state, they can easily reverse this reversal of roe v wade, otherwise how can any of us celebrate freedom this Independence Day?

Never Give Up Or Quit

I keep forgetting who I am, don't think anyone can understand, my struggle is privileged, but most couldn't have lived it, my grass is green for sure, but how do I keep my hope and faith pure, I'm tired of being resilient, sometimes my rhymes might be too brilliant, y'all can't handle the raw truth, some say it's uncouth, better to be pc, fuck drag I wanna rap and sing as just me, why all the sequins and glitter, I'm proud to be short bald and thicker, I'm still sexy as hell, I don't need extra whistles and bells, I hate all the shticks, and slapstick gimmicks, where has true talent gone, repetitive mumble rap is just wrong, love when fans sing along with my songs, I believe lines should be drawn, time to raise the bar, set higher standards and par, accept everyone for who they are, ignore the flaws and scars, look beyond the superficial surface, my smile often hides this worthlessness, we forget quick, that no matter what...never give up or quit!

Peace and 1,
