I Gave You Power

I m mightier than sword,
If my owner uses me right,
I can kill without a stab,
I can start a war,
Stop a war and a lot more,
I give light to all those who lost cause,
For all those who got something to say, But can't say it,
I help them make it,
I don't discriminate, by color, race or religion,
I help them write, I give them a vision,
I got you your first job,made your parents proud,
I help move crowds.

I m a workaholic,
I like to keep spitting ink, without a pause,
I m a writer's weapon of choice,
I m the silent voice,
If you use me right, I can make your girlfriend moist,

I m your Sunday solitude,
And Monday news,
I m the only thing you might own,
When you die broke,
I can help your last words,
In the form of a suicide note,
Or clog myself at your father's last breath,
Make your inheritance go to charity,
So make sure you use me right and not play with me,

I ejaculate, leave the pages dirty,
Leave stains hard to wash away,
For my owners who lost their way,
And don't know how to use me,
Call me moody, I can make your shirt pockets get noticed,
So I just pray, my next owner be a true writer,
Who has his mind aligned to me, and wouldn't lose focus,
I hope one day I will help him write an opus,

I can make you nostalgic, give you memories,
Help you remember things,
You can use to sketch,
If my cousin's lid breaks,
I don't have the same shades he has,
But it depends on the user's skill,
And if I ever run out you can refill,

My golden age has passed,
But I still got it,
I fight against 100 keys,
But then again I got it locked,
And the keys on the keyboard,
Are like Nas,
What would you be without me?
I gave you power*

Powers That Be

power is in poetry, paper n people.
by paper i mean money,
but many of them write so worthless,
and they waste it,
then they say recycle, save trees,
and they are least concerned
about what i m tryin to say here,
they wanna know what my name means.

by poetry i mean words,
spoken n written,
but damn sure not bitten,
turn faces crimson,
spreading wisdom,
now combine that with beats
thats what i call built to kill,
but u can find words n then you say you got skills,
so i m a hypocrite, like everyone else,
and thats what everybody tells,

tell me whats the difference between people n crowd,
i tell you, both are stupid,
coz a person can think but not the mob
if you had seen the riots I have, you would agree,

then by my people i mean,
my people, my countrymen
who only know a little,
may God bless us all equal,

with great power comes great responsibility,
i don't need to be stung by an 8 legged,
to understand that,
so i write by the powers that be,
i use it to empower
the powerless*

Ineffable (Painkiller Part 2)

Her soft skin on mine,
with all this passion combined
my fingers through her hair,
the moment passes and I wish I was there,
I can still feel her lips on mine,
the feeling so divine,
her flaming lips leave me burnt,
she replaced all that hurt,
its even hard to find words.

When I fall asleep,
And when I wake up, she's there next to me,
When she's close enough, I can smell her,
Close enough, I can tell her,
What she means to me,
I just want her to be next to me,

I could tell all this
face to face,
But I wrote it down,
In case she ever forgets,
But then again words are only words
How can they ever compare
To what I feel inside,

No prescription needed,
I have found my painkiller for life*

Little too late

What am i supposed to say now
coz back then i was
overwhelmed by words
i would have said it all,
had so much to say
but i couldn't really find you,
you made me feel like nobody else has,
but now if i say its de ja vu
then I lie,

now that i have found you,
its a little too late,
coz somebody else has already found you,
if i could turn back time
and its that time again,
me, reckless n stupid,
you, young n beautiful as ever,
but i guess its little too late,

All this while you were in my thoughts,
And i looked for you all over,
Now that i have found you,
You are more beautiful than before,
But all the more away,
its kinda bitter sweet
but more bitter than sweet,
Now you find the meaning
If I meet i will tell you what you mean to me
But I guess, Now its a little too late*
