I ain’t punchin’ the clock, I’m clockin’ the game, Turned my struggles to stocks, So remember the name. Used to dream in the dark, Now my light is on, I’m the glitch with a spark, Breaking in the norm.

If I toss the lay up, Just dunk it, Be like Shaq, Heck, Be like Tim Duncan.
Never running away from the tap in, I stay steady with the flow just rapping, Wrapping these burgers and giving out fries, Oh my lord, it’s quite a time to be alive.
The cop blocked me in. He didn’t want to move, wanted to share some words with me. I just wasn’t in the mood. He said, did you know this is a one way, right after I said good evening and excuse me. I proceeded to say I am try to park, he didn’t the sauce, he drove right off.
Lesson: Don’t block the entrance of my parking. Just kindly move and adjust. The interaction was mid, just as much. Life goes on.
Everyday we can create a topic to talk about, but how about nothing. Just take the ride of silence and close your eyes. In peace and quiet is where the mind needs to be.
Timing and ability are luxuries in life. They don’t always come by often, but when you have a good chance and they both a making together, make more of what you love. Do it when you are able.
Each month has been teaching me new lessons. I feel equipped with the knowledge and wisdom with every improvement I have been making. It’s not easy, it’s not always the most fun. I like the pressure, I embrace it, as I won’t ever go back or forget the past pressures.
Evolving and giving grace and appreciation for every level gained, big or small, is truly growth. Some days I feel I am just keeping up, but I am actually living in the present and growing without a limit or cap.
So after an enlightened few days, I am happy and content in myself. I love my direction and vision.
The end is the finish line. Know where you are going before the end. Always gage your pace in your journey, and it will give a higher probability to what happens in the end. Don’t wait too late, act now.
I wasn’t a believer at first, But became well versed, When I escaped a path that was good, But certainly got worse, It felt like a curse, Living the life of bad mind, And the rat race, Working a 9-5, On full throttle, With no brakes,
These garbage ass distractions, The corrupted manipulation, More than just mere occasions, It’s everywhere, The world forcing us, To give in, Everyday, Day in and day out, Clouding our judgment, And worth, Birthing new norms, We never consented on,
Until we rip up these contracts, Being high off a little bit of contact, Of how freedom feels, Reading a book, Going for walks, Have real talks, With people that’s not mean, Paying off debts, Cashing higher checks, Investing into our dreams, Seeing a new baby laugh, Family dinners well planned, Is more reality than a dream,
How to believe is seeing the end goal, To believe is going tunnel vision, To the end zone, Touchdown, The essence of feeling free, You got to believe, Put the work in, Don’t stop, Until what they selling stay fake, But out of your face, All you see is what’s real, You happy, In control, With Memories, To celebrate with your team.
Believe, believe, and believe! You can be free and will be.
*Note: This poem was written as a straight free write. It came out exactly as expected. I love the message, and the delivery. I hope it inspires someone today. As I celebrate my annual freedom day, I am super proud of this piece.

I spent a long time chasing to be free, The only place I knew of being, Was being me, I have been tired, And been tired more of lying, That inside of me, Was slowing dying, Drying off, After I got rained on, I found a day, To stick my name on, I fought hard, And ran myself, Into the ground, To finally have the pride, To wear the damn crown.
