I love to spend the bad times wit u than the good times with someone else By your side ain't a storm that's safe by myself We need love like a A-1 since day one The one who took a hit for you just to keep you away from No amount of money is enough to try and pay em Right on wit a black fist Everything negative's not attached to my blackness Like some pipe packed tight but I cant smoke this Tellin' me a man behind a podium what hope is Wanting to work and twice as hard to staying focused Well it's the hatred of hangups tis be the season Privilege ain't a credit card we're all a voice of reason Modern Babylon while them others steady breathin' Worst fade in the barber chair we receivin' He was a family guy but got treated like a Cleveland To Africa I'm leavin' Nah I never left Drew Ali said I been here If love's the solution then let's kick it into third gear

Lovin' everything about cha All your ins and your outs In all of your power Givin life to us all So perfect you're worth it So invaluable A treasure unearthed I've been lookin' for you my whole life A lover discovered We were made for each other Beauty ain't no question, In love with it all All that you are All that you are All that you are All that you are, said i need yeah Amazed by your natural ability And how we connect spiritually physically You strength possessed goes beyond my wildest dreams An I think anyone can see So perfect you're worth it So invaluable A treasure unearthed I've been lookin' for you my whole life A lover discovered We were made for each other Beauty ain't no question, So in love with it all All that you are All that you are All that you are All that you are, said i need yeah, I need Oh how i love you Nobody like the black woman Oh how I need ya Never turn my back on you Never mistreat you Cause you are a queen black woman All that I need All that you are All that you are All that you are All that you are, said i need ya, need ya

Better 05:42
I know it's hard to stand up when you're down And you can't see the light But in that moment when you've truly had enough In that moment you take flight. It could be worse so why can't it be better You can complain or you can do better Don't ever play the victim or place blame On anybody else Reflections in the mirror never change So motivate yourself Why do we complain about everything And be afraid to move Outside of pride doubt and fear and misery What else is there to lose It could be worse so why can't it be better You can complain or you can do better You can do better (Oh yes you can!)

The skin I'm in is not a sin As a matter of fact it's beautiful Paint a grim picture of all my folks But all of that's gon blow up in smoke How long will it take us to see We're not savages but royalty Stolen a nation's identity Still tellin me that I'm free, I look in the mirror and see I am Black and Beautiful, I am Black and Beautiful I am Black and Beautiful, I am Black and Beautiful I am Black and Beautiful! Zion-I Verse Uhn! Sun kissed skin In my element Ether wired send vibe thru My melanin-Feel it 7 seals cracked When I'm kneeling Nappy Ol hair Don't care In my feelings Mocha vanilla To caramel complexion Ebony brown, Blue black The perfection Complex dred Help me sense the direction Blessings rain down Tears fall for protection Dirt stained hands In a prayer a projection Ritual contact Renders the flesh and- Blood flooding down The blocks of processions Generations rise up Thru suggestion Ancestors bless the children Brick by brick- Resurrecting the building Healing-know who u are- It's appealing- Knowledge and wisdom God is revealing-The ceiling- Moving on up- Prayers in the air Stay fillin my cup- Feel what I'm sayin We the creators- Original longtime imitate us- Tried to take us- Never break us- It's just us- On a daily basis- Innovators- They wanna trace us D.N.A strand map it down And cake up- But we got the leg up- When we keep it most high Energy change but it's Never gone die- On my shoulders got sky Under foot I got Earth- God is so good On the vibe I'm gone surf- Mama got love Daddy got strength Children got breath- Now it start to make sense- Letting go a that stress We all represent Balance so dense in these Africans Pure elegance-I- I am Black and Beautiful, I am Black and Beautiful I am Black and.... Kev Choice Verse King Choice! Descendant of royalty king queens and rulers Tribes of the Zulu the Igbo Yoruba Don't know your past then you're doomed for the future You are a diamond no need for a jeweler Lions of the tribe of Judah conquer The power within this what we must discover young sisters young brothers Can't fall victim to the image that's presented Nothin less than perfection should ever be accepted Not a blemish or a premise that our pigment is anything else but God's reflection They used to call me piss colored, high yellow, I used to feel a certain way about it Til I started gettin a lil knowledge of self And understood that I am beautiful In and out and ain't nuttin they can say about it It's mental conditioning belief What is the origin if beauty is skin deep The more we explore our inner corridors To the pore it's gorgeous The more we adore under our pores is so important Deeper than the physical Ego is the criminal love is the principle Look into my iris see the rise of the solar Beauty's in the eye of the beholder Who are we to judge only father or Jehovah The devil is a lie tell the truth and it's gon hurt Until we accept and manifest our essence The wretched maintain control of the whole earth LOVE BEAUTIFUL! The skin I'm in is not a sin As a matter of fact it's beautiful Paint a grim picture of all my folks But all of that's gon blow up in smoke How long will it take us to see We're not savages but royalty Stolen a nation's identity Still tellin me that I'm free, I look in the mirror and see OneTruthThePoet Verse Being Black is an obstacle A circumstance that makes progress or success difficult Being Black is a burden A demand on the strength, ridding of resources and suppression of the abilities of a people This has been heavy This Hester Prynne scarlet letter Permanent tattoo etched into my skin Being black has never been better And the lime light has been a tanning bed every 28 hrs Being black gets you shot by the authorities We scream don't shoot with church pew hands so can you blame us That every time we see a cop it reminds us of Nazi Germany Black boys are burnt Jews Ghettos concentration camps A police state Either Hitler wasn't all that bad Or genocide is a learned behavior Being black is never being asked to be born Surviving the system Get rich; die trying Live poor, die young, floss, turn up, blow up Being black is a moment in time A reckoning Being black is not a poem In fact There are no words to describe being black No school No university No church No think tank No community group No website can provide the understanding; the knowing To feel how heavy this burden is No one can replicate the beauty The connections The eyes The smiles The jive The grandmas The Sundays The music - we are the music Music... Being black is the hope The desperation Having the will to feel that one day We can lay this burden down Being black is not a metaphor Being Black!

I can’t take it back possibly something I regret something like a butterfly effect a time before you and I were yet I can’t take it back two hearts trying not to bleed traveling through a time machine believing that it wasn’t meant to be I can’t take it back Two hearts broken expectations up but spirit down once outspoken the triumph of the silence can’t hear a sound I can’t take it back possibly something I regret something like a butterfly effect a time before you and I were yet I can’t take it back to hearts trying not to bleed traveling through a Time Machine believe in that it wasn’t meant to be I can’t take it back Four eyes crying the youth that lived there long ago dying friends and lovers but forces that we cannot see prying And if I could I wouldn’t take it back cause the fact that this love remains I hurt you, you hurt me too we’re both human but as long as we’re alive then we got plenty time cause I really feel that this love can heal but I can’t take it back

Verse 1 This one is for sister with deceitful lips I kissed her How on earth could I pimp her in her ears are sorries I whispered Exploit her for money on the basis that she would do anything for me Her spirit don’t want me near it she hungry And she don’t want nothing from me Now she married to her sis cause they both seek bliss and I’m yelling hey sis But she smacking them lips another opportunity missed Another opportunity missed for me to do better keep the family together But I feel blessed cause I know the solution we need a Loveolution Chorus We need to rise above the confusion we need a solution need a Loveolution A cleansing of the spirit pollution We need a solution need a Loveolution Oh Lord your spirit let it rain on us! Verse 2 You were not my nigg..matter fact you’re my brother Why we standin on this corner mean muggin pants saggin and thuggin Man brother I love you Who told you you’re my enemy If we trace it back far enough you’re probably kin to me And dope killed the energy and love’s the solution to take back our chemistry (yeah) And you’re a king brother not a slave to worldly things brother Protect your queen brother be fruitful and harvest are your seeds brother You’re beautiful brother unusual brother peculiar brother Will you rule with me brother and fight in the Loveolution Dame Drummer Chorus We need to rise above the confusion we need a solution need a Loveolution A cleansing of the spirit pollution We need a solution need a Loveolution Oh Lord your spirit let it rain on us! Verse 3 How many murders, how many murders do I got a watch from my iPhone spy phone While mothers cry on and coward men drop bombs from their iDrones Oppressed folks are begging oppressors to right wrongs And I’m getting tired of white song, but my people shine on That’s five on the black hand side now bring it back inside to the community Back when the love was strong and we had unity And for the spirit to rise up we all need to wise up be mindful of every opportunity This is a message for black and brown, children of Israel time is now We can get up or stay facedown Either chase the Messiah or chase those clowns or chase those crowns Chorus We need to rise above the confusion we need a solution need a Loveolution A cleansing of the spirit pollution We need a solution need a Loveolution Oh Lord your spirit let it rain on us!

(Come walk with me come where I be) It’s like I don’t know where to start Please Lord prepare my heart to go where is dark Problems are solved wondering what life would be like if God was involved Crime in the streets this is much more than rhyming and beats Dudes dying over diamonds it’s deep Somethings going on everything is going wrong So much to say that’s the reason why my flow is long It’s like the world’s moving too fast quick My reality is too real and too graphic Bout to get up out the hood cause he shoot baskets But didn’t duck soon enough when them shots blasted Now he lying stiff in that box casket, it’s sick We as planet have no sense of sanity No respect for humanity then we ask how can this be Please people hear my plea to recognize how clear I see Chorus Start the engine push the button Either you good for something or good for nothing You talking love you speaking my language Either we keep complaining or we can change Start the engine push the button And recognize with sisters and brothers They know us by our love for one another Either we stand for nothing or push the button Verse 2 People in the suburbs hurtin the hood suffering Aunties unwanted seeds what’s good cousin Picture a world where we hate winning and love losing Living life like we can’t trust another human Tomorrow’s not promised everything is unassuming Some will do..... nothing is new under the sun and moon Chase destiny til we run into it Either we come together or come to ruin Love God love people love music Love singing love dancing love the movement I can only come up with one solution S-even Dame Drummer Loveolution Is you down for the cause Will you be there to lift me off of the ground if I call Or would you leave me stranded watching me drown in the fog Or disappear into the crowd with a round of applause with no probable cause Chorus Start the engine push the button Either you good for something or good for nothing You talking love you speaking my language Either we keep complaining or we can change Start the engine push the button And recognize with sisters and brothers They know us by our love for one another Either we stand for nothing or push the button Verse 3 We need prayer don’t be scared be prepared Imagine paying a fee so we can breathe air We need Jesus peace cause he cares Or some sort of release to reach beneath layers of modern day captivity Para abnormal alien activity jails and the prisons is packed to capacity Section 80’s baby good kid mad city hair is to nappy to use Sean Comb just ask Diddy No more yo MTV raps or Rap City injecting vaccines Terrorist attackin me please hashtag before they Michael Jackson me Cyber crime digital perilous times pivotal Laugh at the fact that we have the audacity To push pass hate, pass jealousy, pass envy We tired of talking about we ready to actually......ACTUALLY! Chorus Start the engine push the button Either you good for something or good for nothing You talking love you speaking my language Either we keep complaining or we can change Start the engine push the button And recognize with sisters and brothers They know us by our love for one another Either we stand for nothing or push the button

Rescue Me 06:12
I’m tired of dying in these streets I’m tired of lying in these streets I’m praying Lord please Rescue Me Can’t Take It No More! My Lord you have my attention now Need your divine intervention now Cause the world is on the clock And I'm about to shout my shot Rescue me I don't know why Her kids look hungry And they look bummy but she's so fly My brothers they kill each other For nothin and unemployment is so high And always a constant battle between love and hate in my own mind But as the iceberg peaks I speak There are issues that are more deep Oppression is getting old Protection guarding my soul And my chest has weathered the cold but the organ inside is frozen But I believe I was chosen Before any word ever spoken To speak to the tribes in the hopes that Israel's eyes would open Guess I've awoken The people want war Yall want a battle right They laugh at us all cause we can't hit them satellites The system aint broke down The leaders are dumbfound The Governments are corrupt I have no hope now Selling a cigarette on the street gets you choked out They acting like they don't know what goes up must come down Only solution I know is Lord you must come down Vengeance is yours Lord We tired please come now They're killing us come now We killing us come now Oh let me calm down I'm probably panikin But Imma be still and wait for you like a manequin As a matter of fact I'm gonna pray for these savages Cause they gonna pay so many souls they're mishandling But I am a man of peace civilization Abundance of joy and beauty I've given this nation No longer will I beg the one who enslaved me I pray you would open your arms that would embrace me My people we’re aching the evil is running through My people we blatantly make excuses to run to you The evil is very real but you are more powerful And You could return in a like year or an hour though And look how treat each other It has to be sorrowful Look how we act over money Has to be sourdough And he standin over there like (Hey man what's your problem bro?) I am the strongest Suffered the longest Oh so resilient I am not Ratchet Raise up the black fist Media brilliant Telling us lies They selling us lies The devil is jive The Master illusionist Author confusion I know collusion Got us delusioned Keep us distracted Keep us divided Seek and you'll find it See can you find it Peep what the vibe is We cannot hide that Which is inside so Deep and Divine and We are the vine So sweet is the wine And we are divine Deep in The Vine so Deep and Divine is Love! And we are divine Deep in The Vine so Deep and Divine is Love! My Lord you have my attention now Need your divine intervention now Cause the world is on the clock And I'm about to shout my shot And then a voice from heaven said. Just be still know I'm God Open your heart fill my arms Come inside Have no fear Won't be long time is near Come inside Have no fear I am strong I am here!

about

When I heard "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"album I knew that someday I would attempt to emulate that record. In no way am I saying that this is a comparison to that record but simply saying that is was the inspiration. The current state of the black community in the United States though, was probably more of an inspiration. I am a part of that community. I embrace and Love my community. I embrace our struggle and wish to do nothing but create art that edifies my community. Loveolution is idea that Love is divine and for us to really have a revolution, Love is the ONLY solution. Imagine a world where everyone valued kindness, service and charity . Christ was quoted saying "You will know my disciples by their Love for one another" John 13:35. We are on the constant pursuit of Love and what ever that word means to us. I decided to be on constant pursuit of the Creator of Love. I want the source. Just my humble opinion but aren't most products in life better when you get it straight from the manufacture? Just a thought. I hope that you all enjoy this piece of art for it is my hope that we would all pursue The Creator, The Most High, Sprit of The Messiah.......Love. Are you ready for the Loveolution?
