Biography

I am a single father teaching my son the values of a man, in a society whose views don’t go hand in hand with the color of law for a melatonin man. Poverty’s state of oppression has squeezed dry the urban connection along with the want of correction for our black youth. Who die for a lie and demand the lie to be truth.

Samples

I'm watching blacks tear up the foundation of Martins solid dream/ a hollowed scheme pitch to make us seem rich/ we dreamcasting with no joystick/ the Jones trying to keep up with the rich/ we tell; yet yell don't snitch/ we kick, scream, and cry, yet preach don't bitch/ the pagan motives of the elite got us celebrating the bondage of our defeat/ we steady grabbing for what's out of reach/ we out to breach the luxury whites keep, to themself/ while we can't keep to ourself / we the bar that set the crime rate/ because our mind traint to gyrate against others blacks, causing friction out of lack/ can't lubricate our mental state/ what's the use of a sharp point if the pencil break/I.Rand.Made..it
