live, laugh, and love
all that surrounds you
anything that succumbs to you.
the last time...
was many moons ago
so at any moments notice
i am ready
to love, live and laugh
smile, care, and cry.
be here with you in heart
then die
as a black man.
my affinity
for the "Shining Serpent"
Black hero one minute...black villian
the next
a walking contradiction
a panther with conviction
bending against the wind of 'izm
i am him
and he was me
rappin', actin', fightin', recitin'
poetry
"Dear mama" please "Keep ya head up"
because tonight
we will "Ride on our enemies"
and "If I die 2nite"
don't "Pour out a little liquor"
because this life
has given me "So many tears"
jus' continue to give me
"Unconditional Love"
'cause "Life goes on"
and this is the "Ballad of a dead Soulja"
this world will never know
anotha "Soldier like me"
in all my splendor
i will cycle towards the heavens
wings blazing crimson
with "All eyez on me"
wondering to myself...
"Does heaven have a ghetto?"
until that moment
i will laughlivelove
smilecare and cry
be here with you in heart
then die
