I’m a worthy opponent
Forget the future
Stay focused on the moment
What am I to do
My back against the wall
Am I gonna fall
Ah hell naw!
I?ma fight hard
Harder than before
Get’em in my clinch
Take’em to the floor
Make’em fight my fight
That’s what I’ma do
Get some get right
Choke’em till they blue

Look’em in his eye
Hear his soul cry
He don’t wanna die
Neither do I
Someone gotta go
We both can’t stay
So here we fuck’n go
We fight’n for the day
So let the blows rain
Aim’n for the brain
If he swerve’n out his lane
And he can’t maintain
I?ma make’em pay
And seize the day
Why’s it gotta be
Be this way
Why we gotta fight
Is what they say
I don’t make the rules
But I know how to play
And play I shall, shall I say
Fuck’n with me
Will limit your days

Just be grateful that you got it, and store it up in your knowledge purse,
Thank God for the powers, store?em up and disperse,
For every sweet there?s a sour, for every blessing a curse,
Get better or worse, quench hunger or thirst, learn to balance action and rest if you wish to be first, and if you wish to be first, then learn to be last, and remember that shining stars always burn themselves to ash, for nothing lasts forever, except ?Forever?, and nothing should never be said except for ?never?, life?s a risk, so take a chance, do the twist, make a dance,
Keep strong, live long, return to the source
Wisdom so familiar like, ?Oh of course?,
Be smart, have heart, hone you intuition
To hell with circumstances overcome you?re disposition
Listen, I?m hiss?n, it?s truth you can?t be miss?n, it?s all inside purify and watch it glisten, ?Seek first the kingdom of God, and everything else will be given unto you?, and if you steal you get robbed, for others cries should never be fun to you, I run to you, arms opening wide, you smile and gesture, then brush me aside, I cried, the ocean that day, salty and wet, exhausted I lay, deep inside a part of me died, but I can move on cuz I know I tried, I?m chase?n my destiny it?s try?n to hide, life?s a journey, and a hell of a ride, trust my intuition, in myself confide, all I heard was the truth even though he lied, my deciphering skills may prevent some kills, small glimpses of the future give my mind a thrill, he?ll, never do the same you can?t predict a bull, bull, I don?t believe you, how can my only choice be to carry you or leave you?, I need you, so I feed you, then build you up and lead you, I can read you, you?re a book upon these eyes, if you look upon these eyes, you will know that souls rise, and I?s be me, until the death of me, and I?m to see, yet the best of me, I?m try?n to leave, out the rest of me, but my heart it bleeds, out this bloody ink, I stop to think

If I sleep tonight, I?ma wake refreshed, and if I live I might, just die another death, unless, I get out alive O, this is what I strive fo, live?n do or die no, give another trial, you is in denial, have been for awhile, time to change your style, update your file, I?ll, help if I can do so, a friend is really useful, a friend is really useful, so help if you can do so
Shhh!
Some things are best take?n to the grave, discipline your tongue, make it behave, are you a slave to yourself? or king of your domain? Do you study and rejoice? Or do you work in vain?
I?m the Paradox Prophet, wanna get rich without profit? If your hooked on the norm, I can help you get off it, flowing water never grows stale, the first step to success is to fail, still waters run deep, joys of life are free, but don?t come cheap, sleep is to the body, what death is to the soul, restful rejuvenation, peace is the goal, forever changing the way, call to the wise men, drink what they have to say, think what they have to pray, God?s children are poor because the blessed have a price to pay, words are powerful, so speak and be strong, use?em to build so that strength will live on, come on, join our battle, share in our glory, I sit, coil, and rattle, and face what?s before me, and before me there were, many greats from the past, who mapped out their journey, so I could travel fast, alas! New found land, the eye in my mind, is speaking through my hand, and, what it?s say?n can?t be denied, truth be told, it gets me high, to read the rhymes, that I write, they came to me like angels in the night

His-breath my only air
He has shown me to live right
So righteous fruit I bare

I am at my best, when
Bringing it out in brothers
In this life I shall invest
My loving faith in others

Forgive me if I boast
For humble I wish to be
From life I get the most
When I share my feast with thee

God has opened up my eyes
He gave me life to live
So it should come as no surprise
That all my love I give

With guiding hands
I make my way
Through treacherous lands

Of falling trees
And devouring sands
I stick to the word
Thy Heavenly plans

Protect me always
For I honor thy name
Make me a winner
In this life-long game

I walk the path
Of right direction
Dissecting my ways
In search of perfection

Like a lone ranger,
In a room full of old friends
And feeling like a stranger.

I change my mind
More than anybody you know,
But without change
How should I grow?

Even the best of books
Collect dust
Even the best athletes
Experience rust

I am like the weak
Pretending to be strong
Often too quick to speak
Whether I’m right or I’m wrong

Surely I have seen
With these eyes
The highest of highs
Surely it is I who knows
The lowest of lows
What does it all mean?
Surely someone knows

What if it comes?
What if she goes?
What if we’re friends?
What if they’re foes?

To the sinner I am righteous
To the righteous I am sinning
To the winner I am losing
And to the loser I am winning

Just me, my tree
And my roach to be

This is how
My time I spend
Translating knowledge
From mind to pen

Just because he pulled it out
Doesn’t mean he can’t put it away
Just because you haven’t seen it
Doesn’t mean it can’t make you its prey

If I may
I just might
For each day is a fight
Whether I’m wrong or I’m right
I wanna eat good tonight

Climbing trees
Will keep you young
But too much Honey
Will get you stung

And God whispered to me:
“Now take my word or feel my wrath
I’ve doused you in dirt
Now take my bath”

And again he whispered:
“Now live my word or feel my wrath
You can drown in dirt
Or take my path”

More to earn
And more to burn
To discern is to learn
It’s like we earn just to burn

They say that, “Money is for earning”
But that’s funny; I always see it burning!
Would you agree that knowledge is for learning?
Is a Book still a book if the pages aren’t turning?

I found wisdom in rhyme
I found wisdom, now it’s mine
I found wisdom… undefined

There is wisdom in the night
There is wisdom in the day
There is wisdom hidden from sight
There goes wisdom on its way!

Wisdom comes to those who seek
Wisdom comes from those who speak
Wisdom comes like a thief in the night
Wisdom comes riding Truth and Light

I chase wisdom whether I go or stay
I chase wisdom for work and play
I chase wisdom night and day
I chase wisdom that’s my way!

I confide in wisdom like a friend
I’ll ride with wisdom until the end

I bet there’s wisdom in those pages
I bet there’s wisdom in those hours
Wisdom passed down through ages
Wisdom unleashing powers

My God loves life, and so I let the spiders live
The lord works in mysterious ways, and so I remain a mystery
I know that success leaves clues, and so I study history
Heavenly Father I thank you for all the great teachers before me
In the end may this pen make’em love and adore me
God has inspired, and so I’m armed with sacred texts
The Tao teaches us to let go, and so I’m open to what comes next
The Gita taught us Yoga, and so the Self was realized
Jesus lay down his life for us, and so I got baptized
The truth never untruth, and so I’m not about to lie
The father discipline’s the child he loves, and so I’m not about to cry
The Buddha had a sense of humor, and so I smile and laugh
The lord is my Shepard, my rod and my staff
God desires mercy, and so I show compassion
Moderation creates abundance, and so I do my best to ration
The wise tend to reflect, and so I’m like a mirror
He commanded, “Love each other”, and so my vision is clearer
I believe in inspiration, and so I rarely ever edit
Humility comes before honor, and so I save change but don’t use credit
Gandhi liked to walk, and he could out walk us all, and so I like to walk, and get up every time I fall
We live, we learn, we laugh and we love
And so I give, I earn, I pass and I hug
I practice love and faith, respect and endurance
And so a smile on my face I accept the changing currents
There are twelve hours of sunlight, and so I walk by day
The simple man said, “Troubles would come”
And so he said they would not stay
The righteous man has nothing to fear in this life of the next,
And so my worries dissolve
Renounce and rejoice,
And so my problems are solved
It has been written: Love the Lord and be free
And so I’m free as a bird
I’m here to help, and so I give you my word
Just call me Ricky b. Wright, and so I’m almost never wrong
I could go on all night, and so it is… the same old song

thoughts just aren’t as pleasant.
I thank you for the book,
but I haven’t touched your preasant.
I heard some things so painfully necessary,
got the monkey off my back too much weight for me to carry.
I used to think you’d always be mine,
I’m beginning to think you never were.
So much time shared together, in the end it’s just a blur.
I reminisce, we were once so close,
If love were a drug we may have overdose.
My how things have changed, with only fate to blame,
I wish we could go back, but it would never be the same.
I truly hope your happy, I’m not sure that you are,
Just keep learn’n and churn’n, you’ve made it this far.
First we were lovers, in the end just friends,
mistakes were made, so lets make amends.
Through my ears come my fears, its you without me,
your moan’n not alone’n could this really be?
I can’t be mad for I have cheated,
before I knew Love, and how much I needed.
I’ve killed my ego and cultivated my meekness,
once I let you go, they’ll be no more weakness.

I blow it then throw it
I read it, I write it, I struggle, I fight it,
I fix it, I brake it, I give it, I take it,
It’s in and it’s out, it comes and it goes,
like truth ‘n lies and friends ‘n foes.
It was cold and wet now it’s hot and dry,
we live to struggle, thrive, then die.
I’m laugh’n, I’m love’n, I’m cook’n and I’m grub’n,
I’m live’n and I’m learn’n, I’m work’n and I’m earn’n.
I’m up and I’m down, I’m white and I’m brown, I’m a servant and a crown,
I smile and I frown. I’m hot and I’m cold, I’m shy and I’m bold,
a diamond in the ruff or solid gold?
Once upon a time, or never before? I went through the window and out the back door.
I’ve kicked and I’ve punched, I’ve snapped and I’ve crunched.
I sit and I wait, I get up and go, I surrender to fate and go with the flow.
As problems solve I grow and evolve, I contract and Expand like a rubber band.
A childish man with a spontaneous plan, I do what I can to conserve the land.
You should 2 because together we’re 3, just imagine how fruitful we all could be
Love…Faith…respect…endurance…
