Tears In the Rain's Shadow II (crossing the finish line)

I woke up in the motherland's dream,

Filled with beauty and purity,

The rifts and valleys so deep,

The poverty and struggle is endless,

Am a warriors son no doubt,

Curved from the heart of a lion,

Tears from within melt Iron,

Lost in the mist of vengeance...

Lord Have mercy but my mysery is killing me inside,

I can't escape the trouble and the trials of my past,

Reality survival am a lantern in the storm,

Please tell what's the future if the unity is gone...

Tears in the rains shadow

My Armor full of broken Arrows

Fear subsides my sorrow

I hear rain drops slow over my window

A fortnight two days six years ago,

I rose up to my feet and walked out of the door,

5 quaters in my pocket, 1 track in my jacket,

One mind One soul too many rhymes in my back pack,

All alone in solitude from dusk to dawn, My attitude like fire burn I heated up!

But in Chicago it's too cold I froze UP!

At the stop light next to the bus stop

The pace bus couldn't scoop me up without a transfer,

The fast cars couldn't pick up a hitch hiker,

The passers by couldn't talk to a stranger...his accent was really thick and so funny,

Too skinny to acute with no money,

My world stopped for seconds but seemed to last forever,

Am bound to face the weather in the eye of the storm I turned my pain to pleasure...

I be who I be for a reason...Everyday is a different season..

I smile but inside I'm grieving tension keeps on creeping...

And the Streets I know you are feeling me,

Spending a dollar when we earn a dime, Squeezing through welfare to feed them kids,

Too many single mothers lose children to the system,

Posted at the corner "Serving" empty promises that one day I will make out of the hood,

And when you do..don't forget..."woooP Wooop" sirens...

I told you them cops will get you!

This world is twisted I can't explain it, why is it the poor keep getting poorer?

Ignorance is bliss but its too expensive,

Education marked with a price of vengeance,

The smarter we get the more wars we are waging, Blue collar policies are too corrupted,

If boundaries and borderlines were built for races, then tell why are you leaping over my fences?

Because I CAN

I touched down...no retreat no surrender boy dust it off keep moving are you ready to fly,

I touched down...Go strong no turning back from the tropics to the streets are you ready to ride?

I touched down... Global Grind Working Round the Clock we talk this talk cuz we walk the walk..

I touched down...I go hard whether win or lose, when the tough get rough..Its My time to SHINE

I ...Touched ...DOWN!

These are my true feelings from deep within me, sometimes I wonder if anybody wonders how it feels like to be me, and then I certainly tell my self "Only You Can feel What nobody else can feel about you..only God can" yet still I deliver the message so that he who has been through it will be my only witness!

Yours Truly
