~*~Unknown~*~

The critique of critizing,
Which allows me to keep rising,
Somehow may be surprising,
But, I gotta keep utilizing..
Escaping into my own world..
Being my own gurl..
Relaxing and relaxtion,
Generating and generation,
I must go on, it's my temptation..
Confused ad definitely misunderstood..
Usually how it is in "my neck of da' wood"
But, still I rise.. like Maya Angelo,
I surpass and by-pass all lies..
And, I have a dream - like M.L.King
The trouble this crazy world will bring,
I would fly away IF I had wings..
But, there's so much more,
"Kno' wut I mean.."
It all can't be changed, it all can't be fixed,
It's a big mess, it's a big list..
But, together we can STOP it all,
In one word "GOD," with just one call..

Back Where I Started....ku

There u are
Pulling at my memory
Tappin' at my recall
I've termed it refall
Cause I've fallen twice
It's not that you've made me weak
You've just made me think
& wonder, as I evaluate
what still exists
Never have i been so concerned
Causes me to feel unlike myself
So what do i do?
I throw my hands up in defeat
pour water on the heat
& move on even though
something is still stirring inside
Something that makes me daydream and drift
Something that makes me stare into complete space
Almost if by doing so things change
Hmmm, is all i can say sometimes
& sometimes nuthin at all
silence lingers and confirms my uncertainty
A mind that seems so filled
simultaneously feels so void
& even though i want conclusion
I just leave it open
I leave it open
only to realize that
things remain
& I'm back where I started

Caffiene...ku

Time for an upgrade
Got that new car smell to my game
Cuz i break down the poetry, dish it out & sign my name
I guess i'm just that caf-feine
A tru fiend for my poetry, an addiction?
Maybe..or @ least i'm in denial
but please don't deny my style
Why be so dead? yet u still breathing
Take a sip of my caffeine, 4 many a reasons
Where has the passion gone?
Some need a folgers fix to fix their excitement
but i'm forever ready to speak my mind
and share a little enlightment
Sip on ya cappucinos, & frap it if u may
Cuz i rap, write live it, & walk it each and everyday
I guess i get hype w/out a mountain's dew, or a Mocha's Loca
So if it calls for a caffeine fix & a table set 4 two
Gon head n call me caffeine cuz I live like i luv what i do

It's Been A Min.

Guess who's bizzac..
It's Nique, u wonder where I been at??
I dropped da' pencil fa' a min..
But, it ain't ova', it ain't da' end..
I jus' took a quick pause..
So, I could cum bac' ill, & raw..
So, I'll guess dis' will b da' new edition..
Shut up, pay attention, & listen..
It's all in da' name, dis' ain't no game..
Crown me, & call it fame..
Thought I dropped off da' map..
Well, hell no dis' ain't a RAP..
So, I guess u thought I was finished..
I guess u thought mah rhymes deminished..
Naw, neva' dat.. I'm up 2 swing, I got da' bat..
Throw me a fast one, it'll b ova' & done..
Pass me da' ball, I'm up & ready 2 run..
I cum in first, neva' last..
I'm da' future NOT da' past..
So, I kno' its been a min..
But, dis' NOT a short story, it's a trend..

Sum things I jus' don't understand..
Sum things I jus' can't, sum things I can..

Mad cause of wut I wear..
Mad cause of da' shyt u hear..

Whether u hate or NOT I'll still care..
In da' end it's all good..
Cause, IF u could help it..

All the Time...ku

Good Times, all the time
Got me all excited like penny candy & block parties
Dominoes & card games
Atmosphere that'll put a dimple in your cheek
& a tap in ya feet
I still don't think ya'll hear me
Call me an ol soul if you like
Cause i'm moved by good writes
A romantic if u please
75 degrees, partly cloudy
Uncle got that guitar on his knee
Givin the blues, the blues
Ready for hide & go seek
strap up my jelly shoes
Back when u thought dandelions were roses
& to Granny they were
Time has ran past me 'n lapped me
& i think i saw it's blur
I miss then, but i appreciate it now
Still get it live, if only there were words to describe
Don't worry it's still 75 degrees, partly cloudy,
accompanied with a breeze
Good Times, All the time
Aint nuthin' changed....
