By Don*

I call upon the Creator and yeah I call them first / yo the center of my life and they knowing where it hurts / my word is my bond / and I celebrate the birth / manifested in the in flesh / while I’m living on the earth / my life is a blessing I can show you what it’s worth / when I die it’s a gift / waiting on  Resurrection / perfection from Yahshua /  I be screaming Halleluyah / monetary value can be a misdirection / checkout my position / Department Of Correction / my life style vicious dirty like them dishes /  piled up in your kitchen / that be self-reflection / now I’m on a mission / all in for the vision / I study organizations as a living organism / mama don’t you cry / I really changed my life / you can hear it in my language / see it in my stride / moonwalking on the beat / with a side of electric slide / used to is dead like I used to survive on a 9-5 / barely above water contemplating suicide / now I got it together / through the stormy weather your man will fly / the plan gone gone ride / I stand with likeminded individuals* in the divide you all / we all connected we all gone thrive.
