Issues

I don't fear nothing…

I know, it sounds like I got an issue

but like magazines,

there are People

who misunderstand my Essence.

I got an XXL heart,

and that's where God Dwell.

The Source of power

that I allow to Jet

under the currents

of my Ebony skin is what

got my Vibe so confident. 

A concept like this

is only made Complex

because we live in a world

that craves some type of

Entertainment Weekly 

to Shape daily living. 

Why it seem like the Time

we living in is full of followers?

Like People scared

to show their true Self

I don't fear nothing.

Not even death itself

because Solomon himself

said dust is what's left

for everybody when we

reach our end.

We all going to the same place.

That's why my voice is so important. 

Forget being silenced by Hades 

I ain't scared of him either

I'm trying to speak from the grave.

There I go again,

sounding like I got an issue. 

But I guarantee Poets & Writers 

understand what I'm saying

about using the Inc. from our pen

and burying it in paper 

to resurrect us like Jesus 

except we not Rolling Stone to do it.

I'm trying to speak from the grave…

like that Tales From The Crypt guy.

I'm trying to speak from the grave 

like Mufasa did Simba from the sky.

I'm trying to speak from the grave

like smoking Ivy did  on How High

I ain't scared to die. 

Because I know life

is not about Fortune,

or Better Homes & Gardens.

All that is vanity

and God didn't make

Vanity Fair for a reason.

Life is about overcoming.

Overcoming the fear of love,

of chasing your dreams.

of faith 

The most frequently commanded

phrases in the Bible,

is “do not be afraid”,

Some scholars go as far to say

that it appears 365 times in the Bible.

A reminder for each day of the year.

So I don't fear nothing…

and I know,

it sounds like I got an issue.

But I don't.

My only issue, is you.

For feeling like

you got something to fear

other than God.
