If I can't live the life I wanted by Masta-K, literature

Literature

If I can't live the life I wanted

If I can’t live the life I wanted Give me life in what I have If I’m not meant to smell the roses Can I plant them in the back? If I can’t live the life I wanted Give me life in what I have Let me have good company And experience many laughs If I can’t live the life I wanted Give me life in what I have Give whatever I do purpose Will you put me to the task If I can’t live the life I wanted Give me SOMETHING that will last I couldn’t bare it if you didn’t Because this life just goes too fast If I’m not meant to live the life I wanted Give me life in what I have So anything that I create Will have your breath Forever last And when my own life fades away Please let this come to pass This is my eternal wish It is all, that I will ask

I Can Be Anything? by Masta-K, literature

Literature

I Can Be Anything?

They said I can be anything I don't believe that's true And anyone who says that Doesn't understand the rules Because if I could be anything I think that I would choose Without hesitation The one that is for you They say I can be anything I don't believe it's true It's just another thing they say An empty platitude Because if I could be anything I think that I would be The one that you would choose to love The one that's meant to be They say I can be anything I don't believe that's true They ask me why I'm negative And have this attitude Because if I could be anything I think that I would choose To be the face of lies you love And not this

Swamp of the Impotent by Masta-K, literature

Literature

Swamp of the Impotent

This is the place For those who are lazy Every chance that they get They go for what's easy This was a land That could have been great But they didn't see that So they all went to waste These are the ones Who clung to what's known Scared to go out So they clung to their homes But yet are the same ones To tell you what you should be Repeating their woes Because they knew what they could be The ones here are hollow That's their attitude All they do is become echoes Of empty platitudes They repeat words of wisdom To sound all important And that's why they sleep In the Swamp of the Impotent

A Heart that's Lost by Masta-K, literature

Literature

A Heart that's Lost

Sometimes you make me wonder Why I wander all alone So quick to give me challenges But no Queen to the throne So quick to give me damages So quick to break my bones But slow with all the bandages And so little do I own That's Why I write my songs and poems To express my displeasure They tell me it's perspective though By what I use to measure The blessings that you DO bestow Successes on endeavors And the losses of the those who I loved Whose hearts I always treasured I ask you don't forsake me now Even if I've done you wrong And please don't let them take me down Even when my faith's not strong And if I do lose everything Please let me wri

It's So Hard by Masta-K, literature

Literature

It's So Hard

It’s hard to be a trail blazer In a world obsessed with trends I’m not trying to break the rules per se I’m trying to make them bend And if you change that rule I say Well then, that rule should end But I cannot break or bend a thing If I don’t have the strength It’s hard to be a visionary In a world that speaks of facts Especially, when they’re backed by something That we call the past It’s hard to be creative In a space that’s manufactured Where imagination is frowned upon And the psyche becomes fractured It’s so hard to be a leader When there’s no one who will follow When your o

A Coward by Masta-K, literature

Literature

A Coward

A coward died a thousand deaths A soldier dies just once And they may live to see sunrise But they’re always on the run Cuz those they chose to leave behind As soon as trouble comes Will not forget If they survive They will be on the hunt A coward lives a thousand lives They think that they have won They often though Spread many lies Their weakness is their tongue They do this so the truth they hide The evil that they’ve done Because they know The reckoning Will shake them when it comes A coward dies so many times They can’t tell a fact from fib And they always make excuses And they’re reasonable to give They’

Dissolved Union by Masta-K, literature

Literature

Dissolved Union

The times have changed And so few of us remain In the field we have been beaten And had scattered different ways But we've also been victorious And our unity was key Because through it remained our loyalty So glorious were we Now the few of us are three I wonder where the others gone We had sent them out to distant lands Still united as we are one And like a wife whose left behind By her husband who is a soldier It has been a few years now And few have returned to us...now older I wonder what things I could say If only you had stayed I wonder if you WOULD'VE stayed If I cried and begged I wonder if you realized the importa

Drifter by Masta-K, literature

Literature

Drifter

A drifter sees many things But he gets disregarded Because people don't think he's capable of anything But, that's about to change I'm about to bring up pain See? I seen many things So I've never been the same But it all seems the same At least it does to me In the hood and the hills STILL people smoking weed See the kids on the stoop Are the hicks on the porch and the houses getting shot Are the fields getting torched The problems in the burbs Deal with issues from within Mental damage from their family or whatever's next to kin See I seen it all visibly It stays in my imagery It stays with me mentally It stays with me

Where do we stand? by Masta-K, literature

Literature

Where do we stand?

They think we are strong I wish that we'd be We USED to be strong But then we became weak I don't know how to say it In a way that is meek But if our ancestors saw us I think that they'd weep A nation that crumbled Because of disunity Barely has food or water No immunity There is no communion In communities Only ignorance is left Our stupidity Nigger they called me We're not mentally strong We're not talented either Their lies are just wrong Criminals they call you We used to be slaves To change who you are Change how you behave Black soldier he called me I took it in pride Let's not be arrogant But let us be wise

The One With the Broken Wings

Walking through the hallway And opened the doors Like Caesar I'm assassinated Fallen to the floor Then they tried to bury me Left me for dead They surprised when I came out The first was my head As I got up And lifted myself off of the ground Taking a breath of fresh air Then I went into town I'm getting stares everywhere They tried look at me weird When I returned I was empowered With these eyes that see clear So now I'm walking around Just sitting wonder how they tried to do me When they tried to think I'm through But I don't think they love me truly They thought that I would punish them But I don't see the need When

Devious Journal Entry

0 min read

It's really been 3 years since I've been on this site. How crazy. I never meant to be gone for so long. I guess it was necessary though. I know I've been through so much since then, we have a lot to catch up on. For one, I have music on itunes, spotify, google play, amazon, ALL of the major digital stores. "Legend of a True Fighter" and the more current "Soul of a Man." I noticed that the last journal entry was around August 2013 which makes sense cuz Legend of a True Fighter came out in June of 2013 and I know I was doing so much at the time. You may be wondering why I'm back so abruptly, but the truth is I never meant to be gone that long.

It seems that I've been gone for some time. A lot longer than I wanted to be. I guess I lost my way somewhere around here, but I'm back now. Full of ideas, stories, and of course your favorite, poems. If you wonder where I've been I gotta tell you I've been everywhere. My album Legend of a True Fighter is finally complete and dropped 2 months ago now. It was released on June 17th on Itunes and hard copies were delivered later. I'm having a CD release party next week and I have a radio interview this coming Tuesday. So the music thing has really kept me wrapped up and busy. Especially the business end of it. In either case I've been catching u
