I am

I am a hot wire

On fire

My desire

never tire

Like a sky diver

Building up speed

but I aspire

fly ever higher

Because mind require

I inspire

Seek knowledge and read

I am the air you breathe

The sleep you need

The prayers you plead

The faith you believe

The blood you bleed

The footprints you leave

The words eyes can read

The sower of seed

The seeds you receive

Source of the new breed

The doer of new deeds

Diamonds and pearls vs. trinkets and beads

The one who leads

The one who succeeds

Who never concedes

Who always proceeds

Who always feeds

The souls retrieved.

More than a man, I am a spirit

Voice is the wind, don’t you hear it?

Trust in the words, don’t fear it

The more you listen , the more dear it...

is to your heart, till you crave to be near it.

None can compare, the one without peer... It

plain this world need direction , so aim to steer it.

Their vision cloudy, so aim to clear it

When your spirit low, I be there to cheer it

When your heart be broke, I be there to repair it

When you give your heart, it me who revere it

Make these words into a garment, so you can wear it

If your bosom nice n full, me ‘de-brassiere’ it

If your booty nice n round, me rub n bare it

If your cookie nice n hot, me slide n spear it

If we make the baby then, together we will rear it

Because I am the air you breathe

The one you need

The doer of deeds

The source of the new breed

The ones who never concede

The ones who persist and succeed

Who lead and always proceed

Flow like the air you breathe.

Hear these words and listen

Understand this mission

Devour, and digest this position

Catch a fire, fuel the knowing

I am Maroons, we are growing

I am Seeds, we are sowing.

Babel-lawn, we are overthrowing.
