ROSES (An Ode To Nana)

Posted in


You know the best medicine go to people thats paid
Magic Johnson Got A Cure for Aids
And All the broke Muh-Fuckers Passed Away
You telling me If My Grandma Was In The NBA
Right Now She'd Be Ok?


They tell me to stop sometimes and just smell the roses.
I can't right now im on the way To a Hospital With Nana For her Chemo Doses.
Watch them put a needle in her arm
watch her head start to nod
They feeding her the devils crack
So I Go to a nurse and i Ask
If Mike Jack
can change the fact
That he started his life as a Black
If Magic can Live through Aids
and Humans can Live through Plagues
And Middle easterners can Fly through Buildings with Airplanes
then hide in caves
and I Think its insane
That you cant Find Osama In A Cave
But look in a Hole and Find Saddam Hussein
How Come My grandmother can't Beat Cancer?
Niggas Dont have that answer
They can fix economic problems, come up with a stimulus
But cant stop these cops from Killing us.
Get a black man in office and they still aint feeling us
still cant be real with us
and they say racism is over but there's still white kids who cant chill wit' us.
So I cant stop and smell no fucking roses
Im On My way with My Grandma To get her Chemo Doses

Its Been A Year....

Its been a year now since the end of a You and Me
A whole year since i've used the word L-O-V-E
A Year since my myspace played "weak" by SWV
A Year since the love notes and #1 spots on myspace boards and late night dinners at applebees
a year. Its been a year.....
Its also been a year since you told me you were in love with your best friend
a year since you told me "this is the end"
A Year since i hid tears with glasses containing the darkest tints
A Year since the last time me and your baby mother got in an argument
Its been a year since i cried....
Cried because the shit you said had hurt me inside
a year since you lied.......
since you lied to me, a year since i died...
..died emotionally, a year since i tried...
tried to keep you in my life holding on to something not worth keeping
me wanting you while you wanted the streets so you continued creeping
creeping and sleeping wanting something that i could never be
no, let me correct that something i WOULD never be
a year since the mall incident when you told me i should dress more like "her" and i said "Nah, thats just not me"
A Year since you couldnt fucking accept me for ME
Love Me For ME
WTF, well im cool its been a year and i hope now you see
that im the last of a dying breed
see a good thing that YOU fucked up, maybe now you'll see
