A Freestyle Piece: Soulless Relationships - 8/24/11

"In and out of relationships...jumping from person to person, attempting to make sure the void doesn't worsen...everyone wants to find love, but no one is waiting; what's dating if your soul isn't participating? The mind can rationalize, and the heart can synthesize, but only the soul can harmonize. Where the mind can make believe and the heart can project, the soul only stirs when it's real. Show yourself what love is; don't just be shown how it feels..."

College Girl, Parts 1 & 2 - 8/24/11

"I know you're out there somewhere...just getting home from the club, reminiscing on how good you looked in those heels as you take them off. You felt so wanted as guys tapped you; you left them wishing they'd 'tapped' you. Those libations kept coming, so those gyrations kept coming. No digits were given, but limits were living...that was the farthest you could go. College girl, I know the weekend's just a show. You'll regain your class before class.

But it's all love. You had to escape somehow, so you get lost in the club. School, work, the pressures of being sociable. It's amazing you can handle all of that and still be approachable. You're so appreciated. Showing the dichotomy of student life, able to be promiscuous or a prudent wife. Applause and kudos are awarded to you. You deserve all opportunities and affection afforded to you. College girl, I know the weekend's just a show. You'll regain your class before class. On Monday morning, this is all just the past."

A Quote: Growth - 8/24/11

"Growth is often a journey that begins at courage, is paid for by will, travels on intent, and arrives at undiscovered knowledge that was made distant by ignorance and or inaccessible by fear."

A Freestyle Piece: God Will Send A Farmer - 8/24/11

"I love that you can 'do it all on your own,' there's nothing wrong with it. However, someone told you the lie that you're not a strong woman if you 'need' a guy, and you went along with it. It takes the most strength to admit to being weak, just as it takes a moment of clarity to recognize that a situation is bleak. Sure, a charmer could benefit from a chink in your armor, but remember that where there is greatness to be cultivated, God will send a farmer."

The Media - 8/24/11

"Just as the media can present us with heroes, it can predispose us with enemies."

Freestyling to Drake's "Headlines" - 8/2/11

"Known to spit fire, I'll send a beat to hell. That's only if you believe in God; if you don't, oh well. That's who I'll thank when I make it, He gave me this talent and no one here can take it. While you fake it 'til you make it, I make my claim and stake it: say I'm the greatest then drop great isht. That's how it goes when you've got it. I'm the one getting tagged on blogs; sorry, you're not it."

A Freestyle Piece: Diamonds and Pearls - 8/2/11

"I'd say you're a diamond, but you think you're a pearl. I see your love as a precious stone waiting to be unearthed, but you think it's closed away from the world. Dig as I may, I can't find a thing. I guess that's because you're waiting for your oyster's opening. I want to find your heart, set it with mine, & wear it to the world. Alas, you want it found & treasured, but stranded alongside those of other girls..."
