Roc on Aminah..tell'em..every room i go into, them boyz are startin sumthin wit sum chica...tell 'em to hold their horses. as for the religion part..wonderful, homeboy needs to understand that he ain't gotta attack every topic wit religion..sheesh, seems like he don't gotta anotha opinon..n-wayz..for da sis who wants to start wearing hijab,wonderful, may Allah make your destination ten times easier and don't get involved wit dem gay/homo's...Allah damned them and they have committed a big sin. unless u fenna give 'em advice, stray far from 'em.. ciao..

hey ya'll..read dis..ain't it da 'ish..its by nikki giovanni
All Eyez On U
(for 2Pac Shakur 1971-1996)
as I tossed and turned unable to achieve sleep unable to control anxiety unable to comprehend why
2Pac is not with us
if those who live be the sword died be the sword there would be no white men on the earth
if those who lived on hatred died on hatred there would be no KKK
if those who lived by lies died by lies there would be nobody on wall
street in executive suits in academic offices instructing the young
don't tell me he got what he deserved
he deserved a chariot and the accolades of a grateful people
he deserved his life
it is as clear as a mountain stream as defining as a lightning strike
as terrifying as sun to vampires
there were those who called it dirty
gansta rap inciting there were those who never wanted to be
angry at conditions but angry at the messenger who reported:
your kitchen has roaches your toilet is over flowing you basement has so much water the rats are in the living room your house is in disorder
and 2Pac told you about it
what a beautiful boy graceful carriage melodic voice sharp wit intellectual breadth
what a beautiful boy to loose
not me
never me
I don't believe east coast west coast
I saw them murder Emmett Till I saw them murder Malcolm X
I saw them murder
Martin Luther King
I witnessed them shooting Rap Brown I saw them beat LeRoi Jones
I saw them fill there jails I see them burning churches
not me
never me
I do not believe this is some sort of mouth action
This is some sort of political action and they picked well
they picked the brightest freshest fruit from the tallest tree
what a beautiful boy
but he will not go away
as Malcolm did not go away
as Emmett Till did not go away
your shooting him will not take him from us
his spirit will fill our hearts
his courage will strengthen us for the challenge
his truth will straighten our backbones
you know, Socrates had a mother
she too watched here son drink hemlock
she too asked why
but Socrates stood firm and would not lie to save himself
2Pac has a mother
the lovely Afeni had to bury her son
it is not right
it is not right that this young warrior is cut down
it is not right for the old to bury the young
it is not right
this generation mourns 2Pac as my generation mourned Till as we all mourn Malcolm
this wonderful you warrior
Sonia Sanchez said when she learned of his passing she walked all day
walking the beautiful warrior home to our ancestors I just cried as all
mothers cry for the beautiful boy who said he and Mike Tyson would
never be allowed to be free at the same time who told the truth about
them and who told the truth about us who is our beautiful warrior
there are those who wanted to make him the problem
who wanted to believe if they silenced 2Pac all would be quiet on the ghetto
front there are those who testified that the problem wasnÕt the conditions
but the people talking about them
they took away band
so the boys started scratching they took away gym
so the boys started break dancing the boys started dancing the boys started rapping
cause they gave them the guns and the drugs but not the schools and libraries
what a beautiful boy to loose
and we mourn 2Pac Shakur and we reach out to his mother and we
hung ourselves in sadness and shame
and we are compelled to ask:
R U Happy, Mz Tucker? 2Pac is gone
R U Happy?

and the beat goes on
drrram...drrram
she looks around
notices him,intellect
he bears his soul
jumps the boat and swims half way
skips to the right and blows her a kiss
the dance of fire they shall dance
till this nite
i awaite his answer
a beat unanswered
brothel at the italian whorehoue
seek refuge in anything
escape the feeling
the dirty stain he has left
a tubula rasa her heart was
skidded to the apex
shaped to perfection
he sought her eys, engaged her mind
breathed her oxygen
untill he drank her all
erased her true identity and left a red spot
what started out as a hindi shugaansi
intiated by a smile and wink
brought her to the empty rhymes of sleepless nites
searched for her spot in SOL
completion she sought
hunger she felt
longer she wrote
shorter the lines got
skip ahead and finish her thought
dare you she did
add your two cents

sweet nothings, taste my poetic yet chapped lips and lines
ODE TO MOTHER
she awakes every morning
'n looks at her seeds
growing yet lost
she cooks them sumthin'
to feed their maturing brain cells
'n fills them with
knowledge of the world
she purps them
releasing hate 'n unjustice
she's lived a long ife
raised many, most gone
others have deserted her
yet, every morning
she rises with the sun
with tired eyes
she strives to show her deteriorating love
once, she used to be
glorious
she had the world going for her
children she birthed
adored her flesh
travelled from the soles of her feet
to the length of her back
and once they reached her powerfull shoulders
they laid a rest
allowed her to span
grow her dreads
raise her voice
untill she stood tall and mighty
this, her children didn't allow her to enjoy
instead they repaid her with pain 'n hunger
tore her from tip to toe
burned her derma
grayed her hair
those who cared
lost their lives
others fled, left her in distress
and every morning
she rises
getting more tiresome
yet she rises
her seeds
knowing their future
those who wll bring color to her eyes
laughter to her face
song to her ears
she prays for those she lost
'n lavishes intelligence
upon those gone to faraway lands
so her children
listen clear
work hard 'n spread your wings
remember
mother is waiting
wary 'n famished
thirsty to the bone
we are her future, we must put
blood back in her heart
glaring she is
diamond we are
lets hold our hearts out
and with the bright light of Allah
we shall make her green and young again

hey ya'll..tell me what ya'll think..open to criticism.thanx
Formation of a fatherless boy
needles cause pain
dig deep in the skin
tear flesh
releasing blood
tears start rolling down
losing the strength
screaming in ecstasy
alast! its over
look over, 'n notice
a bump
that all thats let
no hugs, no ciao
not even a chocolate kiss
just pai that'll last
for next hour or two
fellings of emptiness
a canvas needing to be
filled
waitin' for the thrill
the protection
a prickle of the needle
will bring
strong reassurance are said
to surpress the pain
last its seen
the truth is fortolled
wait two monthes
and the signs are clear
a prickle lead to the release of blood
stimulated by yearning
recognized by lust
compined to equalate
the hardship of 9 monthes
a needle to late
a son to early
there exposed, two bodies meet
and clash to lead to
an offspring
to the wrong path
one round trip late and a shot to early
she sees the truth
the "hidden agenda"
of a nice man
posingto be a thuggster
hardcore...educated...played nigga
lover of both worlds
books and coke
to liberate a womens body
open an free
dirty yet clean
what is this?
the tale of a women
a girl
meeting her prince
pling the game of courtship
loving the bed play
and lasting with a
fatherless son
kinda long, what ya'll thinkin'?

Lookie, Lookie. Diana is played out my sistahs and brothas..i see poor, ignorant somali chicas everywhere with big ugly batches on their face.shyt, they look like a tigar or a zebra..spots all over. n-ways..i believe the only reason some chicas and dudes diana-ize their skin is because they believe they will be excepted by society and receive affection from guys or vise-versa. Diana has become an international epidemic..even some asian girls i know use a cream similar to diana to lighten themselves because they are ugly(ie. dark) to their people. yah, am serious. so lets not just point fingers to somali girls or the WEst...com'on now..its apparent thatt most of the people in america are tryna be black. asa dark sistah, i just wanna give chicas who have used diana a litttle advice. sucks to be you cause u are not gonna be your real self forever..think michael jackson. and to those who wanna use diana...think again..its tragic enough that you are AFRIKAN and MUSLIM, now u wanna **** wit your skin..com'on..ya gotta be smarter than that..n-wayz, as my grandmama used to say.."Dark girls are clean and have a nice persona..while light chicas are (no offense)lazy and arogent".meaning no matter white or black u fenna be u...don't be a sell-out.be you..peace.."beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

tru nomad---yours is Kanye West...i like dat little poetry reading..
check this one out:
I'm standing here looking in the mirror
Saying "damn" to myself
I should have known the day would come
That she would find somebody else
And all the things I took her through
Shit, I shouldn't have lasted this long
Now I'm at this telephone booth calling Tyrone"
start workin' ya'll
