behold the child

first verse:
my lonely heart, cries
inside, his heart dies
silent voice hides
his rage inside
conflict with his image
and his purpose in life

refrain:
behold the child
who has his own
has his own
behold the child
who can hold his own
hold his own
behold the child
who can make it alone
all alone

second verse:
the slurs of hate, the envy
trying to break away reality
a lonely heart lies
in a bitter world of confusion
in rebellion trying to survive
self~inflicting wounds of delusions
afraid of institutions
his life an allusion
he is paying for his crime
refrain:
behold the child
who has his own
has his own
behold the child
who can hold his own
hold his own
behold the child
who can make it alone
all alone

third verse:
n0body but n0body
can make it alone
when i needed a friend
you were there to lean on
i reply i reply
i needed someone to turn to
you were there for me
and now i owe you
you are on your own
but you are not alone

refrain:
behold the child
who has his own
has his own
behold the child
who can hold his own
hold his own
behold the child
who can make it alone
all alone
the poet

refrain:
words running through my head
i’ve become the disabled poet
trying to find the right words to say
singing my words backwards
i breath again, breath again

words running through my head
trying to find the voice within
i am the old poet, of burden
breathing life into my breath
i breathe again

verse:
holding back the pain
relationships come and go
stolen voices
empty hearts letting go
relationships pierce through
the glass ceiling of my heart
i cry for all the life i love
i cry for al the lives i’ve lost

refrain:
voices running through my head
trying to find the voice within
i am the old poet, of burden
breathing life into my breath
i breathe again
second verse:
words running through my head
i’ve become the disabled poet
trying to find the right words to say
singing my words backwards
i breath again, breath again

words running through my head
trying to find the voice within
i am the old poet, of burden
breathing life into my breath
i breathe again

hook:
words running through my head
i’ve become the disabled poet
trying to find the right words to say
singing my words backwards
i breath again, breath again

refrain:
words running through my head
trying to find the voice within
i am the old poet, of burden
breathing life into my breath
i breathe again

18 years

refrain:
18 years,18 years
u serious, i have to raise his kid alone
for 18 years?
first verse:
he was a jigga man, a jigga man
when i needed a soldier man
to change from a boy to a man
and become a gentleman
to become a role model to his son!

refrain:
18 years,18 years
u serious, i have to raise his kid alone
for 18 years?

second verse:
instead he was a ginger man
jigga man, jigga man
i was not about the benjamins
i would not give up my body to any man, jigga man
i was not woman enough for the jigga man
to teach him how much his son needed him
when a woman opens up to accept a man
it is not always about taken advantage of men
god only gives us one shot to have one kid

refrain:
18 years,18 years
u serious, i have to raise his kid alone
for 18 years?

hook:
my reason to have a child
i thought i’d fall in love again
and i needed another reason to live
and so i gave my cookie up to him
we became lovers before we were friends
it was then i fell in love with a jigalow
and i was mistaken for another one of his ‘ho’s’
when a girl falls for men she becomes his amigo
and left for broken hearted to raise a child alone
some men who don’t care for the life of his own
it’s not easy making it alone

refrain:
18 years,18 years
u serious, i have to raise his kid alone
for 18 years?
18 years,18 years
u serious, i have to raise his kid alone
for 18 years?

18 years,18 years
he left me alone to raise a child alone for 18 years?
but this time the child was really his
and he never gave a d~mn about being a father to his kid

that’s dope

refrain:
d o p e, d o p e, d o p e, that’s dope
keep it on the down low, its dope
d o p e, d o p e, d o p e, that’s dope
keep it on the down low, its dope

first verse:

we all have problems, the dope we hide
we cry, we keep our true feelings
bottled up inside. we fail to reason
to understand why. a penny for
your thoughts? when trouble
arrives, to know the naked truth
we learn to lean on to origins
our palms itch with greed, painted faces
nurturing relationships of s~xuality

refrain:
d o p e, d o p e, d o p e, that’s dope
keep it on the down low, its dope
d o p e, d o p e, d o p e, that’s dope
keep it on the down low, its dope

lean on to the relationships that bond us
and gravitated us. we lean to someone
to listen. lean on, to hear. the light i am in
that one empty chair, thoughts suicide
memories of the moment, and that
one blank stare. it was the look of regret
the darkness of sin. my conscious regret
came back at me; of who i am
my blackness, my pride and
my point of view; the affirmation of my
roots. from the company we keep, the
uncertainty of truth. i became open
about my spirituality, to reveal the nature
of my ethnicity, to abandon my roots
of my cultural identity with regret of
losing my s~xuality outside the creed of public
scrutiny

refrain:
d o p e, d o p e, d o p e, that’s dope
keep it on the down low, its dope
d o p e, d o p e, d o p e, that’s dope
keep it on the down low, its dope

third verse:
it’s the culture we’re in. we are what
we eat. fried fish and cole slaw, collard greens
and hot water corn bread and spaghetti. we
asked god’s mercy for the family tradition. it
is from the love personality and forgiveness
that transitions. rough times of making
difficult decisions, a beacon of hope
defining our position. i’ll meet you half way
upon making a decision, my hommie
let’s keep it down low. that’s dope
keepen it real on the down low
lean on lean on lean on me

refrain:
d o p e, d o p e, d o p e, that’s dope
keep it on the down low, its dope
d o p e, d o p e, d o p e, that’s dope
keep it on the down low, its dope
