poet7 - jimmy lyrics

jim shields
poem 1: life: in retro that i spect (in retropsect)

in retrospect, i have endured obstacles beyond my wildest dreams/
my father was strung out and my mother was in a rut/
sometimes i prayed to myself and cried aloud/
i ain’t never to proud to beg/
the tears started to swarm down my face/
the pain, hatred, and sorrow had engulfed my very existence/
depression latched to my back and ruled me like an iron fist/
i can recall nights of hopelessness and envy/
believe me it was not pretty, but petty/
thank god i made something out me/
it’s more ironical than o. henry/
i feel like i have pierced more railroad spikes through my head than john henry/
the very thought perplexes my mentality and shuns my true emotions away/
everything in life has a reason or purpose to it/
so find yours!!!/

poem 2: a road to nowhere

all i ever do is sit back and reminisce on the good, bad, and ugly times i had/
call me rakim because i am a poet that is a microphone fiend/
like 2pac said “the truth is there’s no hope for the future”/
i’m like da vinci, beethoven, einstein, and martin luther king when i rap?
why because i have musical talent, intelligent, i paint g*nius portraits, and possess powerful oratory sk!lls to be exact/
humility is what i strive and i stay out of foolishness/
my flow is just like ever race mixed into a single quilt/
another road to nowhere is all i know
when i grow up i want the stars to be baffled my by graces/
elevating and edifying other people helps make a difference/
no need for the ignorant or arrogant att-tudes cause it depicts you as real rude/
high up in the clouds is where i reside like a kung fu guru, but don’t call me bruce lee dude/
time is of the essence so cherish it wisely like you would your family inheritance….get it/
the elephant has entered the room/
don’t rely on mans logic because it will fail them eventually/
leaving behind the scattered pieces of the puzzle, because i need to let my flow begin to braid/
back then i was okay… now i been deemed the undisputable juggernaut sage
i’m just another mere man standing trying to prove his point/
only time will reveal the honorable and blot out the frauds/

poem 3: inspiration

you inspire me to reach untapped areas and to explore new heights/
my inspiration comes from a plethora of people/
you can be inspired by well known people or just an ordinary person/
wherever the inspiration comes from use it as a sword to penetrate your desires/
sulking with beliefs that lead to no where is going to be miserable; instead be patient and let your heart follow/
success is only as good a the failures/
a greatness lies within ever single human being, but it needs to be dragged out of us/
you inspire me to do my best when i could settle for mediocrity/
for that i must thank you/
when i see you i see the epitome of gentleness equipped with intelligence/
if you did not inspire me i honestly can say i do not know where i would be. true story/
