Solo Joe

I'm feeling ugly and lonely, yall a bunch of flaky phonies, seriously every single one of u, it's not how much game u talk but what u do, if uve got a bf why u online looking, I'm so sick of these bi guys teasing and hookering, i think I'm becoming asexual, or goin back to being hetero, fake a life with a wife and a few kids, better yet I shld just contract the hiv, honestly sometimes I don't wanna live, I don't get even a small return on all that I give, i don't understand the point, I've got no love no coin, got the chills tho and tears welling up in my eyes, as I realize there's so much sadness in my rhymes, today may be the day the music died, my heart and soul like my brain is fried, i can't handle the boredom and silence, the awful atrocities brutality and violence, smoke pot instead and spread peace, preserver and push past failure and defeat, things aren't ever fair or nice and neat, get over the fact ull probably never be a member of the 1% elite, I'm running low on options, both my heads are throbbing, the pressure and pain aren't stopping, why are people picking mates like they're online catelog shopping, i don't wanna be solo Joe or insecure anymore, please tell me what the fuck all this heartache and hurt is for?!

Layered Onion

Having trouble deciding what to do, is it worth goin in debt again for music production school, I think it's smart and feels right, what's 2 1/2 more years of life in RI gonna be like, but after that, I'm leaving and never looking back, this time when I go, I am determined to find my new true home, who knows where I'll be, Denver San Fran Chicago Canada or perhaps some European country, it's an online degree so there's room to still travel, can't wait for the day I pound that gavel, and finally make a definitive choice, i have a uniquely talented and gifted rhythmic voice, bassy raspy and deep, with a sound and style similar to hip hop in the 90s, i love Tupac Nas Guru The Wu and Lauryn Hill, they continue to be considered classic and their songs give me the chills, i miss when rap represented activism inspiration and poetic soul, i hate that fortune and fame is now the ultimate goal, I miss when music had substance and value, artists shldnt create just cuz they have to, it often comes in waves, hard work motivation and having unwavering passion pays, i wish u were more brave and stayed, not treated me like another notch on ur belt or just a great lay, im not like visiting Hawaii, ull probably get a post about u on my blog/diary, u cld say im a layered onion, very shocking and stunning, stinky but delicious and tasty, totally impatient overzealous and hasty, but dedicated to help better and change the world, let's all blend together like old school chocolate and vanilla swirl!

Semi Trilingual

Wish the rain wld wash away heartache and pain, it's a damn shame love doesn't remain the same, it's always great in the beginning, ur only being shown their representative is what I'm thinking, there's definitely alternate personalities and versions, a sexy slut standing on the corner working, sucking fucking and jerking, so glad I'm not the sex that goes thru birthing, it's not good if I have to ask, are u being ur genuine self or wearing a mask, behind a computer screen uve got balls and can sass, but confronted face to face u forget fast, first time meeting no one gets it up the butt, I'd rather have intimate kinky sex instead of getting fucked, let's have a relationship progress naturally, I'm down with just dating casually, but that doesn't mean I'm a prude, I'm just a pretty picky personality driven gay dude, looking for someone similar, who can be comfortable around my friends and familia, we are Italian tho not Spanish, when momma makes gravy watch how quickly it goes and'll vanish, forget about it when it comes to her lasagna, ull have it for lunch and dinner both today and manana, lol like Britney bitch "oops I did it again", proving to not just be another monolingual ignorant American, to prove to u all that I am a real deal wise fella, I'll end this poem by simply saying buon giorno e ciao bella!

All Work No Play

Guess I must not be cool, got no RI friends with a pool, I'll use my poetry as a tool, don't give a crap if u think I'm annoying fool, ain't nobody like me, u should know how my bite be, intense venomous and deadly, I've said before I've got a powerful mouth, i use to suck swallow spit and bout, wanna try it out, how about now, gained any leverage, we cld be smoking a blunt and having a refreshing alcoholic beverage, don't be lonely all work and no play, i just wanna have a Sunday funday, where we can have a grand ole time get some sun and be gay, not sexually silly, altho I know I can get ur already wet willy in a tizzy, get it so throbbing and leaky, u think music should be free and is easy, keep supporting exploitation corporations and a corrupt industry, and ull see, the world will wither away and die, artists like Tupac Lauryn and Mariah are the only reason why, I'm even still alive, haven't already committed suicide, u all really need to wake up, learn when enough is enough, yes life is expensive and the economy sucks, but work isn't work if ur doing what u love, most homos are superficial and promiscuous sluts, but who am i to judge, I'm probably just jealous i have very lil luck, we are at a crossroads and on the cusp, if we don't make a profound change soon...we're pretty much fucked!

Charmed & Enchanted

Running low on topics of discussion, I'm as volatile as a volcanic eruption, i can randomly just blow a flow like it's nothing,  I don't think it's right to ban and sensor all cussing, sometimes ur so damn mad all u can say or think is FUCK, yes it can get excessive overused and abused too much, but really what happened to free speech, it's everybodys duty to help teach, cuz of a few bad seeds, now it negatively effects me, both radio and artists have to people please, always looking for donations and sponsers, to all the nay sayers or haters watch me succeed and conquer, I may be self righteous but I'm full of pride dignity and honor, i don't take anything for granted, i often think I'm living a fairy tale life charmed and enchanted, the truth is im just winging it, hope one day audiences will be singing my shit, but when or if that day ever comes, I will remain humbly grounded by loved ones, show forgiveness and mercy to those who in the past sassed and shunned, and u can bet for sure I'll never forget where I came from!

Wise Advice

There's nothing more rewarding than fulfilling big goals and dreams, performing at RI Pride is a tremendous opportunity but I want the Grammys, i know that's extremely overzealous and ambitious, everybody has some rough patches bumps and hiccups, my legs look great from dodging obstacles and jumping hurdles, i can't decide who's my favorite of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, however the best xman has to be Jean Grey, i liked She-Ra more than He-Man I shldve known back then I was gay, i seriously had no clue, why do u care so much who i sleep with shouldn't effect u, I'm flattered man I just don't understand, this wasn't a choice for me and definitely wasn't planned, all I want is to do music find love and be happy, why when I say that do so many laugh at me, jealous I can have my cake and eat it too, or pissed cuz i don't fake it til I make it like u do, either way there's enough room to go around, I try to stay eclectic and diversify my sound, listeners are opinionated and fickle, some people hate country folk metal or rap more than being torturously tickled, when u find urself in a bind/pickle,  time's not on ur side it tick tocked and dwindled, it's almost criminal, "it could all be so simple", like Lauryn sang "but ud rather make it hard", i wonder if I'll ever get that far, to define a minority subculture a genre and a generation, u shld give her a standing ovation without any hesitation, with her amazing creations there's no need for any apology or explanation, u try being a black female hip hop artist, i sure as hell wouldn't argue over who had it the hardest, divine natural talent speaks for itself, as an aspiring gay white rapper singer songwriter myself I cld use some wise advice and help!

Fuck Capitalism

My deflated overdrawn bank account, has got me pissed off feeling down and out, I don't understand how I'm supposed to get ahead, what happens to billionaires' money after their dead, I'm so sick of not having any savings, can u actually win the lottery by praying, I'm starting to get really scared, i hate being dominated thru fear, i just don't understand, why poor people don't take a stand, i wish everybody wld wake the fuck up, show a lil compassion and love, life ain't easy, unless ur sleazy and greedy, I'm sorry not sorry I actually have a conscience, why are heartache hurt and pain such constants, it's like the only way we know how to grow and learn, damn I wonder how many bridges have been burned, all over a stupid piece of worthless paper, the amount of student debt kids have left is major, basically we are all work horses and slaves, will the day ever come when the good people of the world will be financially freed and saved, we have to share natural resources, squash war and all ur ignorant superficial discourses, how about a lil more equality harmony and peace, it's too sad seeing all the hungy homeless on the streets, as they sleep under cardboard boxes, that kind of environment is filled with unsuitable toxins, even if it is my last dollar bill/buck, I'd give it away to help someone less fortunate and down on their luck, I know the feeling of being trapped and stuck, if we don't start evenly distributing wealth our capitalistic economy is fucked!

Want To Get To Know Me

I don't feel the need to streak or suck cock to get ahead, I'm a genuine genius extremely lyrically inclined and talented, some say epically legendary, very much lodged in their heart's and pschy's memory, I'm actually globally influencing impacting and connecting, breaking down boundaries and stereotypes changing people's perception, on an even larger more worldly scale, seeing success happens slower than a moving snail, please universe...feel free to take ur time, it's impossibly hard to get by let alone thrive, without resorting to living a life of crime, I'm not looking for incredible wealth I just want what's rightfully mine, I'm totally humble and capable of sharing, we all need a lil comfort compassion and caring, some sympathy empathy and understanding, life in my opinion is a bit too expensive and demading, how the hell am I going to survive, can't just lay down close my eyes and die, what's the use in crying anymore, done longing lusting and pining over lying conniving whores, I'm not another notch for ur belt, sniff ur own shit that uve dealt urself, i no longer require ur services or help, ur unforgettable scent/smell, simply makes me melt, im sure everyday without u will be sheer hell, but oh well that's how it goes, best advice to life tho, is follow ur dreams and believe in ur own flow, use failure as a motivational tool to learn and grow, if u really want to get to know me JC/Joe, u should really read my poetry or come see me perform live at a show!

No Guts No Glory

Things are finally starting to turn around, this transitional period of my life has been quite profound, compared to making it in the music industry, college seems like it was a breeze, should I go back to school to get a degree, wish we were more like other countries where education is free, i realize stability is crucial to survival, will hip hop and rap ever have a revival, nowadays it's mostly bubblegum garbage pop, a few legendary icons might need to just stop, the time has come for new blood, to achieve glory u need perseverance passion and guts, unlike other fields there are no fairy god guides or prepaved gold roads, most people live in modest humble homes/abodes, what happens after death nobody knows, I wear my heart on my sleeve and apparently it shows, always somebody trying to take advantage of decent nice people, perhaps there is no ending to the epic battle of good vs. evil, life is perpetual war, we all want more, especially than our other brothers sisters and neighbors, do u think martyring urself makes u a qualified savior, maybe u should get professional mental help, or at least check ur ego and get the fuck over urselves!

Do U Too Believe In Magic

It's tough to watch a person ur interested in love someone else, I often wonder if jerking off all the time hurts or helps, what can I say but I'm a horny guy, to deal with life's strife I stay super stoned and high, u never get anything u want with omission or lies, why is it demasculating for a grown man to cry, u can bet if I'm pissed off I'll cause a scene or commotion, I'm a human being therefore I'm capable of a wide range of emotion, because I'm in touch with my sensative side, it makes me much more empathetic existential and wise, see the genuine sincerity in my eyes, I absolutely refuse to settle and compromise, this Italian stallion's stubborn as hell, it took me a while but I'm starting to break out of my hard exterior/shell, wish u could simply fix shit with a magical spell, but since it doesn't exist how about u pray everything's ok and works out well, don't write me off as crazy and not listen to me, it sounds silly but there's power in positivity, helping others helps ourselves, we as a society really need to stop classifying people by their wealth, focus all energies on our own country's health, stop perpetuating the same hatred and discrimination displayed by those assholes in the bible belt!

When All Else Fails

How do people get millions of YouTube views and FB likes, i seem to meet a lot of Shawns Ryans and Mikes, it's pretty freaky actually, trouble just happens naturally, guess I'm a metaphorical magnet, u know I'm going to but haven't asked yet, the law of attraction, is as confusing as fractions and fracking, i gotta work more on my daddy macking, i wonder if I'll follow suit and move from hip hop to acting, should I go back to school, a music production degree would be a crucial useful tool, not to mention, it's the perfect place for networking, trying to at least get my foot in the door, afraid of being taken advantage of as if I were a cheap whore, don't have a pot to piss in, find myself caught in a compromising demoralizing position, what am I supposed to do, forget everything I knew to be true, unfortunately there's only a chosen few, who can hang with this cool unstereotypically gay dude, I'm pretty sure I'm destined to be single, I'm a poetic philosophical nomad that travels and loves to mingle, seeing and meeting new people and places, makes me appreciate god's blessings and good graces, it's a beautiful world and life, happiness like a rainbow comes after the storm and strife, let the colorful light shine bright, afterall things aren't necessarily basic black and white, it's a complicated spectrum and array, I'm not 100% right but there's existential value in what I say, anyone else consumed by the gloom and gray, when all else fails and is lost I look up to the big boss and humbly pray for better days!

Modern Artists Mutiny

My old undergraduate degree, has quite frankly become obsolete, and what's worse is I'm still 8 gs deep, my balls pits and feet are sweating profusely, i ain't no Bruce Lee, or Mariah Carey cutesy, u will never ever mute me, it's about time modern artists mutiny, take back what's rightfully ours, finally be paid for the blood sweat tears and hours, who knew I had these amazing lyrical powers, these presumed astute super producers are really just talentless coat tail riding cowards, no offense to the naturally gifted beat makers, I'm simply one of the divine empathic message relayers, this is a god given gift, but it isn't all glitz glamour happiness and bliss, amateurs unfortunately don't get the gist, if u have a passion or dream u go to extremes to achieve it, and u could give a fuck or two shits, just stay focused and mind ur own business, haters gonna hate so just smile and blow them a lil kiss, average isn't legendary or missed, we care about who scored the winning goal not the assist, problems don't get solved with guns knives or fists, i know I shouldn't get all riled up and pissed, i just hate it when people have no common sense or think about realistic logistics, it's absolutely pathetic and ridiculous, how this world is filled with so many ignorant hypocrites!

What's the problem am I writing too fast, am i simply just a crass big pain in the ass, don't throw me away like a piece of shit/trash, victory will soon be mine at last, why won't u forget about what u thought of me in the past, do I actually connect with u make u gasp giggle or laugh, I hope I help diversify ur consciousness and inspire better questions to ask, put away those fake agents representatives and masks, u gotta understand man that's just my genuine charm with a splash of sarcastic sass, this is the role god has bestowed and cast, ive got a certain cool calm swagger that makes me a real class act, im still working tho on my glutes and 6 pack abs, probably cuz of the dorritos and ice cream ive got not so secretly stashed, yes u sexy police officer I will do any dirty task u ask, relish in ur scent except when u pass some more gas, I know I'm irritably overzealous and rash, occasionally assume the worst so I burst back with a whipping tongue lash, and then left yet to wonder if I'll ever understand the feelings Etta James had, when singing her signature hit "At Last".

I just wanna rap and sing my heart out, who knew getting in the music industry would be such a bout, i have a very talented mouth, and I don't need to scream and shout to cut u down, make sure u keep that ego in check, I'm super bashful and humble as heck, definitely don't wanna hog the spotlight, I'm like a small dog where my barks worse than my bite, I'm such a cuddly ball of love, give the best foot massages and hugs, I'm all about peace and harmony, truth justice and equality, we only get this one life to live, don't forget u get what u give, always defy laws question and rebel, i can't help but wonder if this existence is really hell, i feel evil has taken over, first impression's everything but what if ur a grower not a shower, nobody sees past superficial shit, totally inept with no depth or width, so focused on making money and business, many adults have the maturity of big kids, I relate more to old revolutionary philosophical souls, like Macolm X Milk Tupac Aristotle and Plato, hey u know that one person actually can make a difference, it could all very well change in an instant, but will u stay stuck in this prison system, or make the decision, to follow ur own ideas and vision, finally learn to listen to gut intuition and ur heart's experienced wisdom!

Speaking Out Loud

Don't worry I'm fine, just exercising my mind, writing another rhyme, actually enjoying killing time, unlike my mom im ok staying home alone, i dont drink too much i prefer to get stoned, I love myself, I don't need mental help, wish ud all stop calling me crazy, gotta be like Ms. Hill and not let it phase me, it's a sensative issue, don't joke and try to hand me a tissue, I'm super sarcastic but know where to draw the line, some assholes borderline hate crime, i feel awful if I offend or hurt feelings, u never know other's struggle story or reasons, it doesn't take much to be a good person, I contribute just don't conform to ur idea of working, u don't see me for hours writing performing and rehearsing, amazingly inspiring hip hop that doesnt rely on sex appeal oppression or cursing, my second album is 3 years in the making, surviving let alone thriving as a modern day artist is painstaking, but i wouldn't trade a single thing, not even to be tall and twinky thin or king, cuz with both power and beauty come great responsibility, I'd rather have my poetic lyrical talent skills and abilities, i do realize how truly special i am, traveled cross country twice and ain't nobody doing what I can, I'm speaking out loud and taking a stand, for my fans, a fellow lgbtq child woman and man, who probably just don't know how or can't!

Why's It So Fucking Hard

It's all about marketing and promotion, i should do something shocking and cause a commotion, maybe I'll just rap in my boxer shorts, music is my life not a sport, perhaps I've gotten too lazy and complacent, with every passing second we're braving aging, I'm only a reflection of who I used to be, when I came out i had to go annd run away to find the real me, it was then I made the decision, to break out of my old life's prison, but being back in RI has rehashed the past, I hope my unwavering faith will last, I'm strong enough to have made it this far, nobody said it would be easy but why is it so fucking hard, I mean like all the time, I love jamming out to DMX's "Lord Give Me A Sign", these crazy peeps be blowing my mind, true love would be miraculous but I'll totally settle for a lil bump and grind, to help me get thru just one more day, it's very boring and lonely being gay, at times I wish I hard core drank or said yes to more drugs, but really all I want and need is someone to come over to cuddle and give me a hug!

Flaky Make Me Crazy

Decisions decisions, I'd talk about it but I don't want ur constructive criticism/opinions, it's hard enough with the voices in my own head, life is unbearable so I smoke weed all the time instead, my nerves are shot from always being on edge, feel like a dog constantly playing a pointless game of fetch, I'm just gullibly dumb and fall for the same old tricks, I'm surrounded by crazy chicks and religious hicks, there are only a chosen few, I'm actually attracted to, unfortunately 9 times out of 10, they're straight or simply want to be friends, men want to get off with no attachment emotion or feelings, in essence ur cheating lying and stealing, saying what I wanna hear is teasing, leading me on with benefits ull be the only one reaping, yet expecting me to be at ur beck and call, yeah ur definitely sexy and all, but i still gotta get mine, ur flakiness is the reason I bitch and wine, I've fucking had it, with all these slutty selfish and greedy faggots, why does finding love have to be so hard, no matter how much I pray or wish upon a star, the harsh reality is, I have the sexual mentality of a kid, I'm looking for genuine good connection, someone who can give me some stability safety and protection, this world is impossible to conquer alone, like Tupac I'm on a quest to have my own "Happy Home", lord give me the patience and faith, are u really strong enough to carry my weight, seems I have absolutely no control, as I grow old my soul goes cold, my heart hardens but my skin hasn't gotten thicker, thank god for nature's lubricants like marijuana shrooms and liquor, does it hurt less if u rip the duct tape off quicker, at this point I'd settle for a great job or smiley face sticker, some sort of acknowledgement I have value or worth, I can't help but wonder if Adam and Eve really did curse us from birth, in that case arent women the root of all evil, and doesnt the story essentially encourage and perpetuate homosexuality people?!

Why do I get so over eager, I'm such a perpetual people pleaser, even to my own detriment, some people are like angels heaven sent, and my intensity scares them away, I'm getting older becoming more scared and afraid, i may never find true love, music may not be in my cards or a part of the divine higher plan from up above, but then I don't understand the purpose of my life, i can't take all this heartache pain and strife, it's too much for one person to handle, I'm becoming unhinged and dismantled, my poor suffocating soul, feel like just packing my bags cuz im ready to go, after Pride head back to Cali, i think RI has had it with me, it doesn't provide a steady stream of opportunity for me to flourish, doing what I do takes talent persistence and a shit ton of courage, repeatedly putting myself out there, sometimes for nothing more than applause a blunt or a beer, but at a certain point, I need to make that coin, shouldn't have to work at a dead end unfulfilling job tho, I refuse to believe the meaning of existence is making the most dough, the idea of retirement has grown old and obsolete, a capitalistic society will eventually self destruct and implode over greed, please wake up and pay attention i beg and plead, it aint easy being happy cuz when money matters u can never truly be free!

Too Far Left

I wonder what I'll say today, I can't remember the last time I kneeled and prayed, can u actually run out of faith, real torture is being patient and having to wait, do u all think this is the way my life would turn out, who knew a short bald gay poet/rapper could bout with just his mouth, who wants a read or aka a tongue lashing, the damage of verbal and emotional abuse is long lasting, i have a serious fear of rejection, mostly cuz I've never been rigged to win an election, seems in reality it's all just a popularity contest, i must confess I don't think the US is the best, and no offense but I'm not too fond of white people, the genocidal atrocities they've caused are pure evil, taking over the world in the name of democracy, don't u see thru the smoke and mirrors and all the hypocracy, the government is so out of touch, their life time benefits and outlandish salaries are too much, the global economy is in dire danger, pretty soon peace love and harmony will be overrun by greed envy and anger, we will eventually reach our breaking point, I mean I'm pretty passive and mellow but I'm really fucking annoyed, caught in the quicksand of unconquerable debt, have moronic republicans moved us too far left, what I don't get, isn't anybody else upset, in all honesty and sincerety, i miss the Clinton Era where the middle class saw prosperity, it was such a different time back then, what do u think can Hillary get us there again?

Just Blame It On The Gays

God I need a lil peace of mind, my natural reaction is to say I'm fine, being rejected never gets easy, so many men assume I'm a beck and call cock slut who's sleazy, i def don't sleep around or randomly hook up often, will my walls ever come down and my rough edges soften, I'm way more jealous and spiteful than I thought, I wonder how many souls the devil has bought, seems people are much more inherently selfish and greedy, trying to make plans and coordinate schedules shldnt make me crazy dramatic or needy, take it as a compliment I like u, I definitely don't wanna fight boo, i just know what I want and need, I'm actually very easy to please, and unlike others i believe in reciprocity, giving up tho on the hope for harmony and equality, there's not enough fair distribution of wealth, it's effecting both human and mother nature's health, wondering what the percentage of food is now man made, when things go wrong they just blame it on the gays, I'm growing more afraid every day, it's getting harder to find a way to keep the faith, how much longer do I need to be patient and wait, if we can't fix financial or economic problems in the smallest state, i doubt things will change on a larger scale, seems afterall life really is just a sad tragic tale.

Pursuing Happy

I don't think I'll ever understand, people with the inability to plan, how do u have unattached sex, when I meet someone I like i wonder when we can hang out next, I guess I'm too intense, it's easy to be overwhelmed with overzealousness, i repeatedly hide behind sarcasm and jest, randomn synchronicity is the freaky deakiest, happens more often than deja vu, i hate when I say I'm a rapper/singer/songwriter and they ask what else I do, like it defines who I am not how I make my living, i wish time was a lil bit more forgiving, i have no patience for ignorant thinking, being lgbtq is not sinning, Caitlin is Bruce Jenner's new beginning, she is simply redefining herself to the world, why do u care if she wants to be a girl, it has nothing to do with u, respect her decision even if u don't approve, she didn't need ur permission, I'm so sick of homophobes hiding behind religion, i thank her for courageously sharing her story, yes even a Transgender can achieve positive fame and glory, there's absolutely no denying, anyone pursuing their happiness is inspiring, i hope someday i can effect that much change, I'm sure it'll be super unnerving and strange, I'm already amazed at my music's international acceptance broad appeal and range, to know I'm relatably connecting with progressive people across the globe, all my hard work is paying off and it shows, I'd say the world is maturing and growing up, just like me u can see it in JC's evolution from Higher Consciousness to Love!

Peace and 1,

Read U All Wrong

It's funny how the universe works, in hindsight I guess I was the overzealous jerk, the thing is that the hurt lingers and lurks, it's hard finding someone who'll accept all ur kinks and quirks, one of my biggest pet peeves, is people who can't plan and/or communicate effectively, if u want something bad enough ull make the time, holding people accountable for letting u down is not a crime, i will absolutely call u out, i always live up to the words coming out my mouth, i have high expectations and big dreams, staying constantly passionate driven and motivated is way more difficult than it seems, just when I thought u were fed up and done, u pay me a huge compliment so I'm stunned, who knew I read u all wrong, hmmmm that might be a good hook for a song, I need to learn to just calm it the fuck down, the torture of silence is insightful yet emotionally  profound, i don't know if I can handle a relationship, maybe I'm simply not built for it or equipped, perhaps u can't have ur cake and eat it too, music career or love which wld u choose if u were in my shoes, doesn't appear possible to have both, but why am I such a stubbornly naive idealist who believes there's still hope?!
