Take actions accordingly
Before the cops replaced by the military
National Guard, marshal law, atomic bombs
Taking firearms,
Humans getting chainsaws
Your real flawed with governmental laws
What are you believing in them for?
The husband drug overdoses.
Wifey takes the pictures of him
& on Facebook she post it.
We drowning in the ocean
Ignorance floating
Lungs burst cursed from the first
From the dirt
We living so wreck less on this earth
Lil teens think they hard
I-phones seeing fights scream “World Star” so bizarre
Their mind flawed
Public Enemy’s “Terminator X” said it best,
“Today’s mainstream rap is the worse yet confess”
Make a change make a difference
With intuition and wisdom
Breaking down all these mental prisons
Be the man that the woman you want would love to have.
You want ass?
You must have maturity to straight grab.
Which maturity?
Respect for the community?
Research people who came before you.
Advance the truth future is bright too
Grenades left up in the booth
Explode with fun
& stop being that depressing one
Chorus:
Respect trials
Mike Larsen Oliver Hart styles
My abilities give you the Eyedea to “Smile”
Hip hop’s child
I’m in the family now
Hip hop
Im in the family now
Respect trials
Mic larcen Oliver heart styles
My abilities give you the idea to just smile
Hip hop’s child
I’m in the family now
Hip hop
Im in the family now
VERSE II
Raw notion
Ancestor tossed off the ships into oceans.
“Live in Today”, that remains the slogan.
I am the underwater sculpture in Grenada
In honor of my ancestors
Thrown overboard by slave traders
Drown a hater choke on divine favor
Your soul’s in danger
Racist will always face their Maker.
Scrolls from your savior
Wisdom train ya
Teach you behavior from your creator
Your throat was caught in the alligator’s jaws
You wac for spitting soft
The game busted you keep writing
Your game face “Tim Duncan” not exciting
Raise your knuckles to the heavens
Raise your knuckles to the heavens
Fist with aggression
I’m knocking out your protection
The truth is the weapon
The wordplay been in session
The mind believes in,
No compassion for these demons.
So I find love
From up above (shove)
& I save spirits right from these Hell’s Slums.

Lyrics*
Diamond Pearl Verses.
Wordplay emcee.
(hook)
Approach the mic with focus.
Ready to speak with purpose.
These are these are,
Diamond pearl verses.
Approach the mic with focus.
Ready to speak with purpose.
These are these are,
Diamond pearl verses.
Approach the mic with focus.
Ready to speak with purpose.
These are these are,
Diamond pearl verses.
Focus!
Diamond pearl, diamond pearl, diamond pearl... lyrics.
Diamond pearl verses.
(Verse)
I found ways to break sound.
Break ground.
Break barriers of who, what, when plus the how.
Break down mysteries.
Break frowns break Satan and be proud.
Diamonds with the pearls.
Pearls with the diamonds.
Diamond stars aligning.
Who's defining the art of rhyming?
Signing dying, Human hybrid.
Magnetic allure.
Raw metaphors
Left upon Satan's floor.
The verse dungeon sound.
Substance year round.
Underground but above the clouds.
Your family made the failure popular Capisce.
You deceive.
Creative thoughts with no actions are incomplete.
I will be me.
The wordplay true emcee.
You talking about T.V.?
Your Aunt has the Cancer.
You not after real life matters.
Your cypher is full of laughter.
Your skull got some serious head fractures.
After embarrassment,
You never read your book Life chapters.
The rapture the factor you bastards are all true actors.
You never kept your word.
Poverty straight burns.
You got to pay for something in your life.
Either you worship the dark,
Or you worshipping in the light.
Take flight. Take flight. Take flight.
Take, take flight.
(hook)
Approach the mic with focus.
Ready to speak with purpose.
These are these are,
Diamond pearl verses.
Approach the mic with focus.
Ready to speak with purpose.
These are these are,
Diamond pearl verses.
Approach the mic with focus.
Ready to speak with purpose.
These are these are,
Diamond pearl verses.
-the mystic with the crystal ball,
speaking reality to all yall.

Inward Actions

In a word of sin, find the light
In a world of sin, be the light
Lil teen boy too spoiled
So arrogant
No friends by his side is loyal
He’s hard headed
He’s dreaded
In social events he’s invisible
Seen as not likable often ridiculed
Pretty girls call him pitiful
But they don’t know what he’s been through
In foster homes he ate his food.
No mom or dad too
Now he wants to be a bully too to control you
Impress these fools
Girls and the dudes
That made his ego black & blue
Violence begets more violence.
That’s the chant.
He wanted to kill his classmates,
But couldn’t kill a ant.
He wanted pay back, a great life
A real life
He put down the hand gun and knife
& began to write
He put down his foster dad’s hand gun
& began to write to the light under the sun.
He put down his foster dad’s hand gun
& began to write under the light of the sun.
Chorus:
He sat down to just write
Sat down to write
The poetry inside helps with hard times
He sat down to write sat down to write
The poetry inside helps with hard times
He sat down to write sat down to write
The poetry inside will help with the hard times.
Sat down to write he sat down to write
The poetry inside will help with hard times.
Poetry, the poetry, the poetry, the poetry, the writer.
Verse II
Her cellphone alarm goes off.
It’s time to work hard
Ride. Another day for her job.
Former alcoholic now 7 years clean.
Social worker right here trying to raise two seeds.
1 girl 1 boy
Two different fathers neither one of them employed.
Her life feels destroyed.
Yet powerful, faithful it’s heartfelt .
Social activist raising these two kids by herself
Wipes the cold from her eyes
Get ready on time.
Her kids for work, she got to be there by 9.
Drives a “Saturn”
Problems with her car, still praising God
To help her strong in the spiritual war.
Fights for survival
Times will test you
Reads her bible for clues
To gain the spiritual truth.
Feeling blessed cashing in on her “Wick” checks.
Food stamp vex government assistance is next.
Yet, gorgeous in her appearance
Gorgeous in her spirits
You’ve got to hear it.
She will make it the strong Woman not forsaken.
She sat down to write
In pain & spite.
Chorus:
She sat down to write sat down to write
The poetry inside helps with hard times
She sat down to write sat down to write
The poetry inside helps with hard times.

Verse
Lower back pain.
Headaches & migraines.
On topic
Off topic
The arrow's tip
The flesh ripped
Red wine from cup sipped
Silver sword slash ankle falls to trip
Silver necklace.
Gold turban will fit.
Militant threat.
Bayonet injects in the chest and slice to neck
The life is set your best bet the corpse will come.
Who spits for fun?
Who raped the nun?
The Sun is done
Who's to say?
The Black dude. Hey!
Rep the culture.
The African order.
The blackman impregnate the white girl.
Love your world.
Moonlight fog darkness.
Bloody fingertips sliding the bullets in the cartridge
Lock & loaded
Gun toting
Gun roasting
Gun exploded
Your jawline toasted
Blows the smoke from the barrel
Bloody apparel
Walking over the corpse wiping the dust from his flannel
There is war in the latrines.
Men fiend blood pour so it seems
Seen soldiers turn blood fiend.
Clean murder unheard of
Giving truth like Sojourner.
Bear trap catching these rap wac whores.
Why the library closing before the liquor stores?

Image, create, live
New start, new beginnings, new heart, new winnings
New visions, he’s using what’s giving.
Hell’s damnation, Heaven’s miracle.
A select few
That poison is melodic too.
Friendships fail
Others excel.
Hardships with yourself.
Excel built to prevail.
San Diego to Connecticut.
Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Sun set, focus & move with stealth.
Read audiobio’s made him “dro”.
Wordplay hieroglyphics thinking intricate, real life I’m living.
I laugh I cry , pay bills on time
Have sex, some bills are behind.
Smoke trees with a Goddess
Obtain more knowledge.
Read more.
Divine strong right in his core.
Beauty in small things
Presence of king.
Sign sings.
Divine rings, on his hand
He stand as a man divine plans,
His spirit, will expand.
The Wordplay Sensei
The Wordplay Sensei
Verse II
I pick up where they left off
They real soft.
Use to be friends we don’t speak no more.
Change & Fury.
Bulletproof Kufi’s.
Movies in “Hollywood” have subliminal meanings
Criminal heathens saying Pruven ,depressing with all reasoning.
Spiritually speaking the Ying & Yang.
Poetry is the blade that sticks in ribcage
Grip the stage, speak as a Sage.
Upgrade today’s youth & pray & stop demonic decay.
Spoken as a truth art form.
As a man perform, set sail and just sail off
Mausoleums in Russia.
Lethal & I crush ya.
Leaving notebooks of thought for you to discover.
I don’t make you dance like the manage,
Trois,
Pop pills, I make you dance mentally in bars.
Thought long catching bombs like Randy Moss
Balling with “White Chocolate” spitting brolic spit ill to never stop it.
I spit ill.
I’m still living using what’s giving the emcee right here still spitting.
It’s the pain
It’s the fury
The glory
The blesssings
The failures
The dj’s
The news
The lies the truth
The church
The religion
The wars
The happiness
The pitchfork
The eyes of the Hawk
The silence
The recovery
The friendships that ended
The prayers
The answers
The sinning
The baby first steps
The missiles launching
The gas prices
The E.B.T. cards
The 7 presidents after, Barack Obama by far
Spit SARS from my jaws.

(verse)
The bags under your eyes
Telling your timeline's demise.
We all fall
We all rise.
With a prize to use your mind.
& I sign my name on the bloodline.
The African goldmine.
Ethopian diamonds in the dirt.
Road to search.
Battle for your turf.
Mind with your rhyme
Orgasm lines made her squirt.
Use the pen to write your future.
Erase manure smell fresh for your producer.
Steak knife cut clean.
Raise lost teens.
Have'em bouncing more than Kangaroos on trampolines.
Use self esteem.
The angel's wings ripped off.
Call him soft, mean, obscene,
I'm a half breed.
Half Nephilim half African.
Words wrestling
Labor with hands working harder than Ecuadorians.
Hammer to the jaw.
Stepping with a course.
Repping with a force
Knowledge, regain strong for us all.
Better be ready for the brawl. (raw)
Horus. I'm him for the chorus.
George Foreman stomach blows pouring knocked out he's snoring.
Concussions pray for him the wind sucked out him.
Regain!
He touch the mic it sounds like a shame.
So you see,
Graffiti tag my name on the Halls Of Infinity.

Trust yourself, trust yourself, trust yourself
Really really trust yourself
Trust yourself, trust yourself,
Trust, trust, in yourself.
Various distractions attacking focus lacking
I swear, you searching for something not there.
Gems are called “FARIDAT”.
Raise your plot
Pitiful sight that we write for your mind soon to rot
Stop corpse
Oxygen breathed right into the corpse of force.
I’m the Land of the “Moors”
With a sword through your vocal chords.
The bloodline, Amanda Bynes doing lines.
Who controls your 3rd eye?
The lazy eye, crooked bottom teeth
That’s me, defeat all your weak occult beef.
The wordplay emcee
What you speak is always week
Gargantuan gross prof. fees.
Speaking nonsense
My spiritual armor will never tarnish.
Cyclops blinded, audio art rewinding,
I study with the minds of these classic wisemen.
Tongues dying tragically enforce a dying harmony.
I say this music salvaged me.
Check check check it out
Ch..Check it out
Ch.. Ch. Check Check Check it out
My body a light source for darkness.
Consciousness, open the doors to all the chakras .
Vivid offers,
All describe pen God often.
My queen sleeps in her golden glow coffin. (what?)
You feast in lust & don’t eat you starving.
Greet peace you deceive and leave all harming
Others wonder why you can’t be a complete Artist.
The mind is the muscle out power all the darkness
Time & pain will dull all the damn sharpest.
I rhyme & find arrows with the archers.
Heaven aligned the bulls eye yo you not the smartest.
In the novels of existence,I am a published author.
Check check check it out
Trust yourself, trust yourself, trust yourself
Really really trust yourself
Trust yourself, trust yourself,
Trust, trust, in yourself.
Check check check it out
Check it out
Check check check it out.

Jah's Dahgah

My Columbian cat, he straight told me
I won’t have a hit in the music industry
Unless a song goes hard
Becomes a strip club hit
& spit the money making Swag pimp irrelevance
Not everybody can be M.J. down the lane
Some got to play Mario Chalmers now adays
Play your roll let it flow
You want to go “D1”
To “D3” on your knees rise to your feet.
Sexy lyrics slide right down the pole.
No stripper lap dance substance I do not hold.
No V.I.P. flow after life roll
Bang your hoe.
More pennies upon this floor.
No dollars
Cambodian drive a new blue Impala
D.N.A. contain T.H.C. from these Rastas
Pray hard go hard lifestyle so proper
Burning blue flame I will torch your name.
Human strange wisdom recorded from my brain.
Opposite the strange rearrange the game & your frame.
Escape the pain Labyrinth maze
Or feel Jah’s razor blade upon yo face.
Chorus:
Razors to the face of these Demons
Find Heaven’s meaning.
No regrets.
Build intellect. (repeat)
Verse II
The math don’t lie
The mathematics in mind
Competition .
The pure spirit of the wisdom: Listen.
While they were sleeping I was working hard
Became a Czar.
Reprogram the brainwash
It’s game time, it’s game time
Say it one more time, it’s game time.
Analyze crime within the community.
You see,
They closed the Y.M.C.A. down because of greed.
The industry makes speaking consciousness depressing
& speaking violence and ignorance remains the blessing.
Do you know the answers to all your spiritual questions? Aggressions.
They say I’m boring, depressing and so monotone
But I know I flow and care for the community as a whole.
Black people don’t own to many businesses
Racism is wicked
I struggle to live independent.
It strengthen my vision to break down spiritual friction.
Persistence, I free all the caged victims.
Times are brutal it’s so crucial,
I want to mature my thoughts and become more useful
Chorus:
Razors to the face of these Demons
Find Heaven’s meaning.
No regrets.
Build intellect. (x4)
