Blessed to bless


Sometimes I get angry Frustrated looking out So I decide to look in just to find my soul again I know it ain't easy but if it was Then best believe there's something wrong, cause best believe without the wrong the right wouldn't be as bright So despite my issues and troubles I still speak...for the troublesome Troubled ones... Who would sometimes not speak and hold their tongs if they weren't hungry But they gotta eat so fuck shame Fuck names Never told Never asked Well why tell its just time wasted Cause when your starving nothing else matters Its food over matter no matter what I speak for those who can't afford to dream even in sleep because their half awake in case someone strolls along with a reason to give Their reason to live Hope We are only blessed to be a blessing I'm not tryna preach just live by example but even with that said I'm not perfect far from it I pray my wrongs teach right and my right speaks bright but the shade is always near and its something we have all stepped in Some more then others I can only hope to every time step out with a stranger A stranger by face Friend by soul Different goals Different path Same destination Heaven So for heavens sake don't get angry at the ones who have what you want cause what we need is to not take for granted what we got and give Not money but words Not money but time Your time speaks words But be swift to hear and slow to speak Listen to their words Feel their situations Speak their words to foreign ears living here To citizens living abroad to bring change So that one day You care to ask their names...
