Just Me Against The World     
A soaring Red Cardinal Bird     
Down below     
Hell, tall stacks daily blows     
People walking around without a care     
Popping pills, pulling out their hair     
Mentality diminished from the thirty-day cycle     
Bills, Rent, ask the Archangel Michael     
Systematic designed not giving the brain cells time to regenerate     
Anger, depression and an empty purse, yet, bills can’t wait, cannot even debate     
Just Me Against The World     
Ooh child, things are going to get easier     
Ooh child, things will get brighter     
No, it will be, more sleazier     
No, it will be less righter     
Think about it, it’s no surprise     
You will come to realize     
These are words from the wise     
Just Me Against The World   
No civil right shoulders or spiritual leaders to lean on     
Yet, this world continues to pray for peace in a unified worldly song     
No more, can we all just get alone     
Those lyrics are so far gone     
Inner cities, bullets keep flying     
Mothers leaning over caskets crying     
Handcuffed, no diploma, senseless crime     
Court, Sentenced, Jail Time     
Corporate stocks escalating, it’s a business on taxpayers’ dime     
Bullied, life self-taken, silently snuffed     
Political ramifications, gun agendas, immigration, no more on the up and up     
Just Me Against The World     
Peace has decreased     
Toxic air from out the mouths of spiritual leaders, released     
We put our tides in the collection plate and pray to the sky     
Explain why racial disparity is at an all-time high     
Schools, colleges, just walking by, why     
911 telephone calls, Moorish skin, all just lies     
Are we going forward or backwards as we meet     
No trust as people come to greet     
Soon, society will all see ghosts in the streets   
Just Me Against The World     
What happen to Make America Great     
That concept was just a political switch and bait     
Society does not have time to swallow its pride     
Observers with ignorant prying eyes     
Wrong mother, wrong color     
The mirror is our only true lover     
Deemed, no self-worth     
Stigmatized after birth     
The black man, sadly for them, no earthly rest     
Peace, found only after he takes his last breath     
His glory crowned only after death     
This world must do better     
My reason for writing such profound love letters     
In this day     
Uplifting words when we forget to pray     
Whispered to you, as if I would tell you, or say     
I give you my Love and Hugs     
My Kisses and Rubs
