Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
On earth as it is...
...in heaven.

The Magnificent One, The Chosen Son,
and Holy Spirit working in unison
to bring us all to an easier state of living
Forever loving, understanding, and giving
However, this fixation our nation has with itself
Crying, lying, and dying over nothing but wealth
I am constantly trying to uplift those younger than me
to understand that this world is not all about money,
cash, hoes, sick flows, crack-dealin' and girl-stealin'.
But TV makes it so appealin', this..."lifestyle".
I get this sinking feelin' that my efforts aren't worthwhile
But I continue. I may, one day, save someone
from a life of negativity and commercialized activity
and, like a needle, inject creativity in their veins
So that they bleed lifelong achievements.
Anatomically speaking, I'm physically seeking the truth
to feign the haters that constrain our youth
daily with no hesitation. So my destination?
Helping younguns understand the reason for education.
I set up my perverbial booth in the hallways and, like a patient
I wait, anxiously, for someone to let me give them the accurate
prognosis of "that" life. If they grow up immaculate
Then I would feel accomplished. I could pack up & get
going to the next place where one such as I am needed
to weed out the bad & deliver the goods to succeed with
But help, I need it. This is definitly not a job for ones self.
Lord, hear my prayer - I've put it in your hands now.
Give me the confidence to take a positive stand now.
Give me the strength so I can KEEP my firm stand now.
And Lord, I know it may not go the way I planned now.
But Jesus, I can better understand now.
I experienced your love firsthand now.
So I'm willing to let you be in command now.
I can't understand how you withstand now
seeing that your grace & mercy is in high demand now.
But you do it. But on the other hand, now,
You got enemies tryin' to bring ya mans down!
I've been keepin' quiet, ain't been pokin' my face around.
But in Satan's world, I'm the talk of the town!
Please watch over my soul, Lord.
That's all I ask you to do for me.
I don't know when I'll be walking in unknown territory
Scary for me, but your grace & glory fortify me.
