I’m grateful for every chance I get to ventilate my lungs
So I pull passionately on every breath
I know one day I must collide with death
When my friends and loved ones must pay last respects

Expand your knowledge
Exercise your wisdom
Intellectual growth; leads to mental freedom
Attainment of the right philosophy will dispel life’s misconceptions
...
I was caught off guard
And I fell in love
It is like a trap
...
Captivity I despise;
Those are the words that leave your mouth
But it is still your reality
For you are shackled from the inside-out
...
I know that you are scared
So I thrive on your fear
You pretend I don't exist
Try to make me disappear

Cupid's Arrow penetrated the nucleus of my heart like a poison dart
It started off as nothing much
Nothing but just a crush
Absorbing the nutrients of fantasy
...
I nah follow nuh guy
Smoke weed and red up me eye
Mek dem season spliff give me
Lizard tail me
...
As I sit on the coach in the living room
I listen to the time passing by
There is nothing interested on T.V
And all I hear is time passing by
...
Too much racial prejudice is exercised
In this society where I reside
I find that often I am ostracized
Just cause I am 'black' I am pushed to the side

Till I Die
I’m grateful for every chance I get to ventilate my lungs
So I pull passionately on every breath
I know one day I must collide with death
When my friends and loved ones must pay last respects
Yet………… I am so afraid of dying
Twenty Four hours multiplied by a question sign;
Is how much time I have left
Till the good Lord retires the breath from this body; given me as a loan
Flesh blood and bones
Lying inanimate like stone
Six feet beneath the tombstone
But I’m still here
As I sit here
Thinking I got the tools for life, but for death I’m not prepared
Any day could be my turn to kick the bucket
As I look at the horizon of eternity, still I can’t see beyond it
