Release your inhibitions
fuck what those other cats told you
fuck those who used your weaknesses
for their strength
your kindness
for your weakness
their words for your speechlessness
don’t let them destroy your future
don’t let them resurrect your past
through minds eyes they deceive you
through social status they define you
they never loved you
their faces changed constantly
even in lover's embraces
they chased a facsimile
you were the facsimile
they created
‘cus they hated themselves
and their choices
and mocked yours
and blocked your
blessings
though agitation
and feigned anxiety
this is your therapy
you wrote books
to dirty looks
and dirty words
past friends now enemies
through similar words
and the circle
you once nurtured
is now square
and anxiety causes you to twist your hair
but that’s a crown, King
that's a crown, Queen
so twist on and let your crown bring
hatred from those
who were never your peers
your ears peaked
when you heard ‘love’
‘cus you never understood
what real love was
until now
until thou
met love on an abandoned block
that caused you to call home
like E.T., you just wanna go home
but where’s the cell phone
to phone
home
when our love is in park
while real love sleeps alone in the dark
waiting for you
she bore you
you’re an earth child
but you?
you running from you...
yearning the soil’s touch
of her soul’s touch
‘cus all you can do
is lay awake after nightmares
recurring for you
of that one
who tried to tear you in two
tried to make you
that one that you wasn’t
who was the one that you wasn’t?
some Decepticon
that pulled a con
and left destruction for you
to try to repair
so you studied masonry
carpentry
architecture
trying to build rebuttals
for their conjecture
but peep the picture
the big picture
peep the scripture
unfold
with every new goal
you decide who’s witcha
your tribe
is your tribe
you don’t have to ask questions
they always arrive with answers
“I’ll take ‘Tribe’ for $2,000 Alex”
the daily double
is your reflection in mirrors
not their eyes
but yours
I’m long winded
‘cus I ascended
and saw nothing but words
‘cus Saul Williams
then Steve Williams
and Marlanda Dekine
defined words already in me
I wasn’t ready to find
but now I am
I’ve already found
the false truths
that people speak when their chakras
are down
misaligned
was never aligned
but you chiropracted yours
and burned sage
to their discrace
they couldn’t stand the smell
say no more...
say no more
reality’s whores
are nothing more
than roadblocks
these crooked folks
are nothing more than roadblocks
your doubt and self loathing
are more than just roadblocks
they’re mental blocks
embedded by others
but cultivated by you
but cultivated by me
every time you believe
every time I believe
every time
you and I decide
to let that bullshit ride
and do nothing to ride to
our destiny
It’s our destiny
It’s our destiny
don’t take these words
as harsh indictments of our spirit
this is truth coming out
regurgitated for our health
toxicity’s
proximity
to our souls is a breech
like those planes on 9/11
flying over Wall Street
where was the guard?
where is our god?
are we our guard?
are we our god?
who is our god?
