I'm so dope,
ya know what?
Nope.
That's a whole lie cause
I'm too fly to compare myself
to some powder or a rock.
I'm a thermostat
therefore I regulate what's hot
so I'm not
about to follow the rest
when I'm called to lead the pack,
besides didn't Whitney already
tell y'all that crack is wack.
So I guess that means I'm the anti drug.
Take note
I'm the anti-dope
Decembers goat
I'm so.. I'm so.. I'm so hope.
Yeah
I'm the straight and narrow
when your life feels a slope,
when you find it hard to cope.
I'm your clean addiction
the belief that provides
relief from your affliction
and I do it with no side effect
I didn't come to infect
I'm here to affect
you won't have to sniff nor inject.
Baby I'm good for the soul.
I'm so hope
I'm the cornerstone where faith meets your fear
I'm always near
right here posted at the intersection of
truth and trust
which must mean I'm heaven sent
or at least,
I'm your God send.
I'm that light wind
that tickles the hairs on the back of your neck,
I'm how you keep the lights on
when you've living check to check.
I'm so hope
I loosen the grip of life's tight squeeze,
I bring grown men to their knees
they tell me they see a future with me.
I'm so hope
they call me Enoch
cause I walk with the Lord,
y'all taking 2 steps back but I'm that giant leap forward.
I'm so hope
I'm the promise of mo better days
clarity in midst of your daze
GPS i guide you to mo better Waze.
I'm the navigation when you're feeling lost.
Boss
I'm so hope
did I mention that I was born on Christmas?
That's Christ mas or more Christ
so when God sent us
nigga he did it to bless y'all twice.
Yo I'm nice.
I'm found in every dimension
exceeding height, width and depth,
I'm that prayer before your final breath.
Yes,
hope gets deferred
but I only do it to make your plans looking slightly blurred
I do it to make you believe more,
I'm the push that helps you reach what you achieve for.
So while they're writing poems about being pushed weight
I push wait.
I'm the yellow light to slows you down
a life jacket when you're just about to drown
I'm that unforeseen warning
I'm so hope
I'm the joy that comes to you first thing in the morning.
I'm Infinity
so even when this body is good and gone
I'll forever live on
standing beside faith and love.
The 3 of us shall always remain,
I'm so hope
how many of y'all can you say the same?

My Mom was Everything... and then some .
My mom was everything..
and then some.
The immense sum of
Raymond's darkness and Leona's light.
She was a catastrophic explosion
a supernova that shined hell of bright.
And despite
her imperfections she was just right..
for us.
Though times we would bicker and fuss,
we spoke in each other's language of love.
Released the white dove
when it was time to cease
and restore peace.
Cause see
that's what you do
when your relationships ascends,
and you grow from being mother and child
to becoming the closest of friends.
And she,
she was my BFF..
staff to clef..
sous to chef,
a team
but you couldn't tell her that she wasn't the ref.
She was the Janet in our family,
had a thing for Control.
Smart and sassy,
fierce and bold.
Enjoyed
corny jokes,
she was simply a-maize-ing.
Sacrificed her life,
to foster those she helped in raising--
LaTisha
Durelle
Jamel
Monica
Felicia
LaToya
Javon
Tisha
Toya
Nyree
Jamison
Aaron
Sapphire
Nicole
Diamond
Larry
Ryan
Alex
Patrick
Jasmine
Trinity
Rasheeda
and Shaheen.
We, her legacy
she our queen.
She was greatness
times 4 million, 4 thousand, 4 hundred and forty 4.
Not to keep score
but if you told her you loved her,
she replied, "I love you more."
Her intentions were pure,
into the poor she would pour.
Never hesitated to give of her last,
and if you were lucky enough
to be invited by pass..
her tough exterior,
then you'd recognize the presence
of something divinely superior.
She was a work in work,
a good Samaritan and a jerk.
A saint, she ain't
but she was the perfect balance
of sinner and winner.
And right before it was over
I watched her even conquered hell,
kept up appearances,
she wore the armor of God quite well.
She lived a marvelous life,
not just as a mom
a daughter,
sister,
auntie,
grandma
and twice over,
a wife.
Mother's Day is different,
never will they be like the rest.
Being without her being is difficult,
But I made a promise to give it my best.
So before the waves come a crashing
and I go numb,
figured I let you in on
how my mom was everything..
and then some.
and then some.
