How can I make your ugly beautiful?
How can I make your ugly beautiful? / First I have to go to that ugly place/ put it in verse and give it perspective/ Raw dog no contraceptive/ only to give birth to a beautiful truth/ My beautiful truth to be exact/ since we are all aware of the fact/ that your truth and my […]
My Humble Apologies to Those Who Pretend…
I was once very critical of those who pretended to be something they were not. I once held myself in high esteem in regards to being exactly who I said I was. Certain individuals of my past (in the confines of romance) have been the type of females who cared a lot about what people thought about […]
Underground or Underground #HustlerzCode
“My husband, my mentor, my lover, my friend. The only thing better than exploring your body was experiencing your soul. Listening to you share your wisdom while you accepted my truth without passing judgement or implementing boundaries. Making me live the life of the Black Butterfly you insisted I be.

Inventory #REMIX
My Mother once told me that her father was the type of man who hated not being the smartest man in the room/ And although I am not as obsessive as grandpa/ I will beat myself up for not being better between the ears/ Unfortunately, beating yourself up is not a good strategy for winning anything/ Even the smartest […]
“Sucka Emcee” #Poetry #REMIX
The time between this verse and the verse I wrote before this has been awhile/ I consider awhile to be one full moon and then 2 full moons later/ That very night, inspiration herself came to visit me bathed in moonlight and irony/The irony was this/She came by way of the Moon/ But she spoke […]
