RISE BEYOND
When my soul and spirit shall rise
Beyond the bold and beautiful sky
There I will find peace
In the kingdom of heaven
That promised to be mine forever
There will be no more tears shed
There will be a joyful noise
Of laughter that fills the air
There will be no more darkness
And crying out for freedom
No more mistreating people
Because their skin tone wasn’t equal
When my soul and spirit shall rise
Beyond the bold and beautiful sky
There will be no more time of time
No different between day and night
No rain nor storm
That cause us to lose sight
When my soul and spirit shall rise
I will be entering into the kingdom of heaven
Forever lasting life
That’s where you’ll find me
When I rise
When I rise
When my soul and spirit shall rise
SISTER’S SLAVE
Sister listen
Don’t think there’s no way out
Letting your man call you
B’s and Ho’s day in and day out
He’s continuing to collaborate with his degrading
Profounding disrespectful words of life
You began to cling like a roaming element
That lost sight of your identity of what’s right
Uh he’s wanting to be a super star
But go beyond a little too far
Sister’s can’t you see corruption is in every community of society
It’s becoming a chain of command and a lost organization
Of mass destruction of what’s wrong with our new generation
Of men improper construction
If you know what I mean
Depreciating our sister’s and depriving us it’s not a game
Now we’re labeled sister’s slave not defending or honoring
Our respectful name
I can hear Maya Anglo say “still I rise”
DR. Martin King say “ free at last
I’m Deborah Gresham and I say “ stand as tall as the trees “
Let your voice be as wide as sea
Don’t become a victim of an abuse
Excise your rights and fight
So the next generation of sister’s
Can have a respectful life
peace
BROTHER’S BEWARE
Hey brother’s
Don’t let the sister’s bring you down
Always in you pockets
Every time you turn around
Leaching , deceiving , conniving
Is really her game
With her sunshine smile
And curvaceous body
Is just another invitation
Of how she plays the game
That would drive any man insane
Now she has your attention
And began to bring your pockets underground
While you’re losing focus, with everything around
She’s spending out of control , just laying it down
Loss of breath , you can’t keep a grip
She’s already planning her next trip
So you see my brother’s beware
That sister soldier , ain’t going no where
Not as long as you have the funds
She ain’t even done
So beware of the sister’s that inch their
Way into your life, she will drain you dry
Until all that’s left
Is emptiness , tearful eyes
Broken hearts
And memories full of lies
BROKEN
When I closed my eyes
I could see
What and who
You use to be
So much pain
Across your face
The sound of your voice
Unraveling everyday
Zig saw pieces
So many broken
Untold feelings
Not even spoken
Lack of confidence
Spirit don’t shine
Bad mood swings
Like life is just a matter of time
Sounds of cries echoing rumbling
Bouncing wall to wall
Side to side
Trying to hide all those feelings inside
You’re not alone I can see
The depth of the deep of your tears and fears
Is pouring down through me
So when I closed my eyes
One day I hope to see
God has given you the strength and courage to be
The man you use to be
UNBROKEN
RIVER OF TEARS
Our voices cry for freedom
While our soul and spirit is on the rise
Our hearts are weeping a river of tears
Lost in our own lies
An invasion of destruction
Has caused a mass disruption
Of corruption in our
Mind body and soul
A lack of obligation while playing
With temptation
Left us weak unwanted like waste
On the side of the road
Now we’re roaming
With no where to go
But looking for the master
To cleanse our sinful souls
Our voices cry for freedom
While our soul and spirit is on the rise
Our hearts are weeping
A river of tears
Lost in our own lies
Pride
I tilt my head back toward the sky
Less of no strength but enough to
Thank God for my dignity and pride
My salvation starves for freedom
As my body deteriorate into a disable figure
Far beyond my imagination and just short of being cohesion
I tighten my belt to the last made man hole
So much flesh of flesh just hanging off my
Dry brittle bones
I use my own tears
To quench my thirst
My breath became my air
Lost in a mist
My vision had been burnt
With raging lights
While
My heart is on fire
Branded all through the darkest hours of the night
But still I found the will
To tilt my head back toward the sky
Less of no strength
But ready to die
Because through it all
I thank God I still have my dignity and pride
COME UNTO ME
Come unto the Lord
And I’ll give you wings
And a promise land you’ve never seen
I will educate your mind
So you can praise my name all the time
Thy ought said the Lord to me
I’ll give you glory
Redefined your name
For who you are
You’ll never be the same
Words of enchantment
Faith and belief is the mobility
Of strength
That gives a peace to interact
With rejoicing that will redirect the mind
Of all mankind from sin
Come unto me
It’s time to have peace
Love thy families our neighbors and enemies
And let’s live the rest of life eternally
Thy ought said the Lord to me
Come unto me
