When Will We Awaken?

Music

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zskHrO55bys

Our children plead for an opportunity as taxes

are raised on many of our struggling families

gas, and groceries rising just as quickly as

the many men & women are incarcerated daily

we search for a way to quantify our existence

through all forms of religion to help us understand

the reason for living in a world so false visually

yet no one can assure us of anything when

at every level, corruption and greed seep

through the fabric of our infrastructure

no, I am not my brother’s keeper

but if change doesn’t happen quick

I fear I may not have a brother to speak

We as a people are suffering from the sickness

Our societies slowly crumble beneath our feet

Yet politicians can only debate & delegate

While we the people face the storm bankers created

Who deserves to be on the chopping block?

As we wonder when the bleeding will ever stop

Can Obama give us a way to change or are we simply

Delusional to the problems we currently face

Democrats & Republicans can’t be trusted

As the country we love so much continues

Rustin, the pipes bursting, bridges crumbling

I want a society where every child can be promised

The opportunity for some form of college education

yet war is what my nation is funding for its own

selfish elevation towards more profit and greed

I ask again as I continue pondering when will

The bleeding cease or do we need a revolution

For the world to see that we can no longer

Continue this false American dream of supremacy

When the U.S.A has fallen in grade to many other

industrialized nations surpassing us in science, education,

communications, dying because of the derogation

the true question is; when will we consciously awaken?

Searching for Nirvana

Music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97N1MyuOyiA


Self aware no true cares 
Dreams awakened when I sleep 
Reality now only a piece 


Lucid filled with consciousness 
Lost ego now aware selfless
I'm now Nirvana in spirit 


Clearing the mind with time
Realizing I cannot define 
Understanding I am more alive

Yea you say

Music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYSoLt3fFrU&feature=related

Yea you see the smile on my face
But can you trace the pain in my mind state
Yea you see my lyrics written day after day
But can you ever really relate to a person
Within their own mental domain
Yea you’ve felt my passion on the page
But have you once witnessed the rage
I’ve displayed to express my inner anger
Yea you call me a friend but in physical
I remain no more than another stranger
Just another face within the matrix
You say I’m gifted but have you once
Witnessed me fallen to the temptation

You say I’m one of a kind in your eyes
But can you visualize me by surprise
You say you want to take a trip deep
Into my mind to find who I am inside
Yet you simply look at my surface to define
You say your words are all authentic yet I feel
them clearly they represent something replicated
you say I am the one to set you free form slavery
yet I see you daily chaining yourself within this society

you say you’ll follow me until the end of our journey
Yet I see you now sitting dreaming of other possibilities
Yea you say I’m yours, I’m the only one you’ll adore
But the more I explore I discover secrets that uncover
The skeletons you thought you hid underneath the cover
You say the days we had can never be erased
But like l said in the beginning long ago
Can you trace the pain that now has grown
My mind state hasn’t been erased only changed
What you say holds no weight as we slowly
Gravitate away to only be recognized as another
Strangers face within the matrix that differentiates
Us from the oneness we used to closely embrace

Poetic Justice

Music

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qTZBwST7PI&feature=related

[Nick Ade The Poet]

Stronger than the average, Outlastin the average

A fuckin savage with these lyrics I’ve masterfully crafted

Call me the alchemist who molds words into masterpieces

Poetically sleepin in my dreams not touched by reality

Casually awakening to this society simply to bring

All these many words out visually to your eyes

so you may read my passion dwelling deep inside

Loving my life one hardship at a time to experience

All the pains, the joys, and the cries that come with

All these emotions I provide a story never running dry

My eyes open to the skies that reflect the depth of my mind

Deeper than a coal mine as I load these words I find

Within the solace of my heart beating to the tune

Of my rhythmic beat drumming with the pen I leak

The ink of my lyrical poetry as I continue strumming

my hands on this page I create a lyrical showcase

as I lay a verse to say what can’t be otherwise displayed

never to be erased as I’m chased in the grim reapers haste

[Robert Gibbons]

And yet being stronger than average

does not matter to the hater or the faker

to those who decide that my words are not

justice that my words are not for them

those spooks who sit by the door of entrance

those inhibitors those limiters the ones

that look at me and judge me the ones

begrudge me but I am not about to stop this flow

there is too much more to know do you hear me

I want you to fear me I am a beast at least you know

I am equipped sipping from the divine worth of gods

because it started in antiquity your trite is mere iniquity

so I say be gone you are alien and sedition this is premonition

it is just passion it is the cashing in of the ancestors

the one that baptize me in chrism died so I can live

it is holy ghost running warm in my veins it is the utmost

that makes me not ashamed so here I am clothed

and I am carrying I am bold and I am burying these

doubts about my worth this is a berth of a new son

[Nick Ade The Poet]

Fingers strumming the tides like the sun that rises

The waves of energy coursing through my mind

Supplied by my inner soul produced by the light

Poetry is the byproduct of the feelings inside

I live & die at the same time I’m elevated high

Torn between the imagination and reality I sit in-between

As my fingers bleed the story unveiled through my scripture

Pulling the mental picture dwelling deep in my psyche

I preach textually the keys to my mind as I bind my pen & soul

Opening the doorway to what has yet to be fully known

Gone are the tears, the fears, now it remains all clear

Yet I’m similar to a deer in the headlights, it remains so bright

So I’m lyrically bracing my mind for the words to come flooding

The mental gates opening now I build slowly as I mold, shape,

erase a masterpiece I’ve now created with my instrument

outliving the hands that once crafted the poem into creation

[Robert Gibbons]

and yes I am living the everlasting plastering

these lyrics steering these feeling

from the beginning to the ending

from the bending of the curves to

the heard of the voices they come

they speak they peak this time of year

its mine it mind over matter it is the shatter

of the stereotype its ignoring the hype its

deploring the trite that comes to steal the joy

till the noise its a new day in this etymology

its phrenology its the cosmology of community

its the blogging of the fog its the toil and the tiller

its the word and the healer I am saved I am redeemed

its a newness encompass me it only because I believe

Freeing the Artist

Opening my mind’s eye
Now witnessing the sky
Closing ears now I hear


Clearing my soul now known
Shutting my mind to climb
Enlightened once I write


Piecing the inner darkness
Revealing the outer artist
Heaven greets near the arches

Trust the Passion

Music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX6Wq6qJtoQ&feature=relmfu

Feel me as I flow these lyrical words that go
Further than all time & space as we race together 
Without leaving a trace of what we’ve left behind
Follow me to embrace these feelings I express as we grind
Towards the future as we together climb higher with 
the pen on the page journeying deeper into my mind
To find that I’m so proficient with these lines

Seek the truth through my eyes to define 
What can’t otherwise be described without first 
going deep inside to feel the magic that is alive 
Don’t doubt me because authentic is all I bring
As I wipe the tears falling from your cheeks
Now you know you’re the only woman born for me 
Coursing through you like viral disease spreading 
Through Your entire body as I release the passion in me

Call me the Illuminati because I subliminally
Reach deep into your subconscious to lead
You on a journey that can’t be easily justified
Once you begin to realize it was all simply a dream unseen
As we now awaken with the use of trees to calm our minds
Look deeper into my eyes to understand my soul inside

tell me what’s real verses a lie as you begin to think
is everything based on what your mind tells what’s right
Or are these words that I’ve spilled more physical 
than the world you’ve always known as less spiritual 
Before we’re all dead and gone, I cast a stone
In the river of life flowing ever long to ripple the effects
Of my presence now reduced to mere ashes & dust
The one thing forever outlasting as we begin to rust
are our dreams now solidified by our eternal trust

Articulating love in a storm

Music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muGuYaw7VGs

Kisses to her neck
as I take her very breath
a long lasting love this is
what once was released
now comes back to my hands
gracefully, I dance lyrically
with her on my mind all the time
I am the one and only king
yet a slave as she continues
to enslave my heart, my very soul
she holds what has never been possessed 
I hold in my heart a love few will ever know
but what is my love without her in my life?
how could I ever survive another night
without her by my side until the daylight?
This cancerous disease is killing me
living so long without a true woman
I label her my Nefertiti..... but who is she truly?
I may never truly know that answer
so this loveless cancer continues
consuming me without a possibility
of any recovery unless I can express
what is it she does to me mentally
physically I may never be the greatest visually
hopefully she can be the one that can
truly see me for me spiritually
nothing more nothing less, what's next
she may never be able to expect
but she knows what it truly is
true love at last from an outcast
a poet with the lyrical ability to articulate
all his feeling into writing so she may see
just who I truly am without doubt
or need for any second questioning
No I am not God, but put faith in me
truly you are the most beautiful woman
I have ever seen, you know what I mean?
I now label you, now and forever
my one and only Queen.... Nefertiti
but will she take that seriously?
only time will tell, as I continue
to expel my lyrical delights to her
she remains on my mind even when
her physical is out of sight
until the end of time I will continue
to charm her with lyrical delights....
one day she might be with me
until then, I forever put faith in a higher being.
