My Soul is not for Sale!


And the devil said to me
Hate your fellow brother
Rape and disrespect your sister
Don’t be a father to your children
I said in a soft 

voice “ My Soul is not for Sale!”

And the devil said to me
Be a follower, and never lead
Hate yourself, push drugs on your people
Kill everyone you see
I said in a sharp voice “My Soul is not for Sale!

And the devil said to me
Don’t believe in Allah
Take drugs, smoke, drink, destroy yourself
Never help anyone, Never get an education
I said in a loud voice “ My Soul is not Sale!

And the President said to me
Love the Patriot Act
Embrace the war
Hate others around the world
I said in a low voice “My Soul is not for Sale!”

And the President said to me
Fellow what I say, Do what I say
Believe in my lies
Don’t think for yourself, Live in fear
I said in a sharp voice “My Soul is not for Sale!

And the President said to me
I need your vote for a stronger America
I placed people of color in the highest cabinet positions ever
I am a good fair man
I said in a loud voice “My Soul is not Sale!”


And my boss said to me
Wash my car, Shine my shoes
You will go far in this company if you kiss my ass
Sell out your co-workers, be loyal to me
I said “My Soul is not for Sale!

And my boss said to me
Deal with the people I tell you to deal with
Spy for me, Destroy those who don’t obey
Stab people in the back just to make it to the top
I said “My Soul is not for Sale!


And my boss said to me
I rule with an iron fist. Rule with me
Sell out your black people, be my uncle tom
Be my house nigger
I said defiantly “My Soul is not for Sale!”

My Soul is not for Sale!

The Common Man

I am tired but I’m not sleepy

What I am tired of can be changed

I am tired of the violence that plagues that streets

I am tired of the lies that this country feeds me

I am tired of the NRA

I am tired of the bullshit

You see the people that effect my life

don’t live my life

The people that make laws don’t live in the ghetto

They eat three times a day

I have to fight to eat

I have to fight to live

I have to fight to survive

You see if I sleep I am dead

Why would they care about gun laws?

We are dying not them!

Why would they care about the homeless situation?

They have four to five cars in the driveway.

I am tired of people dying, these people don’t always make the news

But we move on.., but when it happens to you then and only then do you want justice

Allah bless us all

The common man, the evil man, good man, the happy man, the sad man

The black man, the white man

What we all have in common is man.

The sun usually wakes me up in the morning

Today the sun did not shine

There were no blue skies

The waves did not crash the shore

Everything stood still

The birds did not sing

The flowers did not bloom

No mountains moved

No rains dropped

My heart stopped beating

That’s how I feel one second without you.

 With you the angels wake me up and say” Good Morning”

I am blessed with life, full of energy

Nothing can stop me

No man can hurt me

The drums of life beat in my heart

I can walk on water

I know what love is

I feel it in my soul

All because of you
