Hungry Bars {Volume #1.} [7-19-13]

•3:43(pm)

[1] On a Friday before work I am chilling while I write raps./ Hurling up dopness like throwing up yack./ [2] I rap about the one who has those fire contacts./ He gets me so high do you want to catch a contact./ [3] Even when I don't feel like writing crap./ I ask for God's help so that I have no excuse to slack./ [4] So let me get something down on the mat./ Look like I did it with ease like an NFL running back./

[5] I want to preach like Stephen to tick off Saducees./ I want to love & declare like Jesus which is a rebuke to Pharisees./ [6] When I'm in the spirit you can call me a parrot with the speech./ Every good and encouraging thing is from He who made me./ [7] I used to consider Christianity oh so boring./ Then I realized that the things I look into are nothing./ [8] Eyes covered like Ray Wonder until He took seals off of me./ Now I'm Paul with the pen bringing grace to my Family./

[9] Praising God that I get to eat at Hungry./ Get to be around people my own age who are starving./ [10] Ribs touching, yet we are so full that we devour every plate./ We all get equal share, yet a different portion of God's grace./ [11] All who come tonight are not all saved./ All are not walking. Some are asleep in their graves./ [12] We all trying to get closer to Christ even if we at times make it out to be a maze./ Joy is what we all can have, instead as a body we see things as a plague./

[13] So I'm getting my sword sharped to encouraged and to grow./ Yet having my heart focused on He who flows./ [14] The eloquence of God who created speech and has the best quotes./ He is also Love. Love is not Him. Just the all around nature of God is dope./ [15] Way more potent than any kilo of coke./ Yet by Holy Spirit And the blood of Jesus I don't have a dangerous inner & outer dose./ [16] God blessed me with His strength. So great seeds I'll throw./ Not concerned where they land because God is the one who causes any seed to grow./

[17] I really need to Just love folks./ Unconditionally only by first loving God who is most./ [18] Up high is where I expected things to be the most./ Maybe for once I'd like to be a surprised bro./ [19] Was encouraged that I should eat the stew out of my Bible./ Good to know how to cock and aim this living rifle./ [20] Maybe pride is on the inside so for everything I should be humble./ Appreciate that I have Jesus and in no area I should grumble./

Verbal Ship [06-12-13]

Poem based on James 3:1-12.

•3:52(pm)

[1] I have such a crazy and intense choice./ I'm the type to always want to use voice./ [2] I must be careful when wanting to make noise./ Especially since my rudder can cause drama amongst girls & boys./ [3] No Mercedes Benz, but over this ship I'll choose not to be destoyed./ Yet it's very tough to tame this maker of noise./ [4] The same instrument is one used for division./ With a whole onslaught of criticism from a small machine gun like cannon./ [5] It can burn up my body and fellow children./ I'm in utter need in surrendering this small member to My Pilot./ [6] Depend upon Him so I use fire set by Him to declare Him./ I need to know the words I speak over myself are not sin./

[7] Not words that crash me or others./ I have the choice to always bless God, myself & brothers./

[8] I'm writing this, asking Jesus./ Asking my Lord to please place a holy bit./ [9] Even if that's asking a lot, not a little bit,/ To be fully aware of God & a representer of Jesus./ [10] This verbal ship won't over take me unless I submit./ My words don't have to always be known to say what my heart is speakin'./ [11] I must be careful since His word I want to preach it./ Not Just with my words, but my life is spoken word, spoken by Jesus./

For Jesus. [07-07-13]

•9:40(am)

[1] Lord I write this to you this morning./ To be honest life for me is kind of boring./ [2] Yet, I know with you I am soaring./ Before I ask what can you do for me./ [3] I just want to glorify My King of Kings./ Raised me to life and just allows me to be on bended knees./ [4] Realizing who you are makes me see a better me./ Enough about Richard, I just want to focus on you.. You're intimacy./ [5] I realize that spending every moment with you is everything./ Not just in the word or prayer in the morning./ [6] Those are Good staring points now I pray that it's ongoing./ Today, Oh today I want a better glimpse of your glory./ [7] Floor my heart as you fill it. Give me heavenly lungs to breathe./ Make me aware of your love from now and when I awake from my sleep./

Not Empty Forever [07-15-13]

•5:03(pm)

[1] I'm really feeling tired of this./
It's clear to see that I need more of Jesus./ [2] My pridefull flesh has me saying to almost lust again./ Yet my humble spirit is seeking rather to trust in him./ [3] Jesus is my joy and my satisfaction./ So in him I should seek whenever I feel captive./ [4] I'm mad at my self because my words are in vain and careless./ Procrastinating has me like "go ahead and stay down, you're defeated./ [5] How could you be Christ like when you hardly stay seeking Jesus./ You're just a broken vessel who keeps making not just one empty promise."/ [6] Ok, I admit it that every small trigger I bombed it./ Every found technique I tend to wind up and lose it./ [7] Then I am reminded of where I was and who Jesus is./ He does not expect me to be perfect just to seek Him./ [8] Even if my emptiness is as huge as the grand canyon./ His love can easily make that area in to an ocean./

God Glorified [07-03-13]

•8:33[pm]

[1] I just want to see God Glorified./
In myself first, than to see anyone else cry./ [2] I just want to represent Him on all kinds of mic./ Preach, Rap, Teach & rejoice with my very life./ [3] I lift Jesus up since I was the reason He was crucified./ I lift Jesus up since for me He came back to life./ [4] Death Thought he won until Jesus was like "Psyche"./ I continue to rejoice with Christ since with Him there is no end in sight./ [5] No death, more like a recess to those who walk with Christ./ Follow Christ even if that means your humanity will be tourterd then you die./ [6] We are alive so since we are in Christ let us be new not blind./ That sight, Oh we can see, we can see so why we act like Jesus ain't save our lives./ [7] We are at war that's something we hardly grasp in this earthly life./ We get divided, accused and slandered against, but never rebuke the father of lies./ [8] Our hearts matter now if we choose to lift Jesus on high./ It will be a time where everyone will bow and proclaim Jesus is Lord.. let God be Glorified./

Amped Up. [06-09-13]

•7:15[am]

[1] So I guess as the title goes I'm a little amped./ Even more excited than when I aqquire food stamps./ [2] Not sure when I'll have a gathering soon with the sandman./ Singapore cane all across my melon like it was covered by a trash can./ [3] Kneeling on my knees like I'm too greater to stand./ Showing humility and creativity all because I do not want to crash./ [4] Seat belt is off like when dudes be wearing pants low with an embarrassing stance./ So some can pretend to be hard, but I'll remain in the fighter stance./

[5] At a red eye glance you can tell I can become a battle ax./ Dangerous all because I follow the shepherd. I represent the Lamb./ [6] I'll pray & preach the Gospel even if every square mile proclaiming was banned./ Not just with words, but carrying and living out God's word & plan./ [7] I'm bold, but mostly my flesh causes me to be a weak frail man./ Bleaching my mind with fear and insecurities like I was Stan./ [8] So information of the Bible in my head I cram./ All while coming to Christ & being intimate with Jesus because I'm a needy man./

[9] With Jesus I can so fly like I was Micheal in Space Jam./ Seeing red, No Bull instead of because His Blood which makes me a clean man./ [10] Any & every beat is a jobber that'll go down with a body slam./ Yet I become a heel on a beat and make the sound waves pay like it hurt my fam./ [11] The enemy ain't no friend or kin of me or even apart of my clan./ My God will reign an infinity, even he will reign a grand./ [12] I have that joy, my strength which at times causes me to laugh./ I say the name Jesus and demons run away like a brother done passed gassed./

[13] Giving God heart praise is such a noble task./ I mean any human can shout amen and throw a bunch of hand claps./ [14] When I come near my God I don't want it be me wearing a mask./ Why hide from Him since He's known me way before the past./ [15] I'll serve my God like a prophet who the people declare as mad./ Go ahead & enslave my body, but you can never take my Salva-chan./ [16] Lord God give me your strength to remain amped./ Fill me up so that I can pour out onto others in this land./

Sunday Honesty. [06-09-13]

•6:19[am]

(1) Lately it's always has been a minute with me./ I make commitments, but I also get distracted easily./ (2) So much so that the distractions causes me to become lazy/ A ill equipped thinker who has been procrastinating./ (3) Not just that, but I have been sort of praying./ Asking God to give me a desire for what I be saying./ (4) Like if the rhymes were dancing, then the paper is breaking./ Made with particles of earth so I'm in to quaking./ 

(5) Not really a Quaker since I'm more of a Grits man./ Not the music or the movement, I'm talking that nourishment fam./

(6) So let me say what I know I think./ I should just free write my poems while asking God to lead me./ (7) I only make it harder than it really needs to be./ Why am I aiming for perfect when it's easier targeting me./ (8) The only perfect shot was He who took artillery for me./ So if I'm reminded of Him in constant thoughts, then my aim in one should be three's./

(9) As I write this I haven't really gotten any shut eye./ I've been up all night messing with my phone, until I realized./

(10) I realized that I was letting the clock go to mildew./ Searching for Bible apps & sermons instead of reading & seeking truth./ (11) So eventually I got up with my ESV and went in the bathroom./ Got honest before God before eating the word like soup./ (12) For me personally I need it to stick to me like glue./ Become a burning sacrifice even if I'm only noticed by Him and not any of you./ (13) So consumed while at most my proclamations become mute./ No the enemy doesn't have me shut up, just me wanting to hear Holy Spirit who leads in truth./ (14) I'm not a know it all who knows everything, but what I do know is I want to see more fruit./ Want to see young Adults glorify Jesus instead of acting like He ain't coming back soon./

(15) All ages of Christ we should be eating meat, but most of us are still drinking milk with the spoon./ If you are their, then ask God why. I say this because I love you./ (16) I want to talk about His word and research in my Hungry group./ We will one day, I just need to write out those sermons and pass them out to all of you./
