Enlightening Writing Is Fighting

I keep refinding that writing, is retrospectively therapeutic yet enlightening, it's rather frightening, how it's become my revolutionary fighting, there's nobody else doing what I'm doing, building bridges musically pursuing, using my privelage as a platform, against the rap norm, not another stereotypical presumption, there's no responsibility for wasteful consumption, I'm satire personified, not a con nor lie, the real deal, reiterating to people my shpeel, I'm a gay white rapper singer songwriter poet, R.A.P. is an acronym if u didnt know it, got a ton of heart and soul, but the business hustle and struggle takes a toll, I'm still a starving artist, working the hardest, waiting on some accolades and flowers, hated on by ignorant jealous cowards, who can't walk their talk, just gawk and stalk, all squawk, surrounded by lots of sharks snakes and hawks, but that's alright, cuz y'all won't ever dim my bright light!

Leave Room For Love Grace & Gratitude

Please don't be scared, know that I'm always here, tho at times there's space between, I'll give grace indeed, u may not know how, to get up again when down, cuz depression is a father fucker, we all deserve a sarcastic laughter lover, or a round of applause, as u walk in the door, transform gloom with smiling swoon, news shouldn't be allowed to spew fear lies or doom, let's get money out of it too, stop electing ignorant incapable fools, love is universal, but in life ain't no rehearsal, so choices matter, we're all battered torn and tattered, growing old is privelage, cuz u outlive shit, still we all need support, wondering will I be blessed with a cohort, to walk with me, even if at times awkwardly, over plenty peaks and valleys, I just wanna be part of his happy, bring some sustainability and peace, come back to the table instead of retreat, isolation isn't good, silence gets misunderstood, it's ok to show suffering thru tears, we're so focused on fears, there's simply no room, to find any gratitude, yet ur essence radiates light, probably too humbly unaware of ur powerful might to fight for what's right, ur one of the great guys, don't even need make up or a disguise, genuinely authentic and pure, in a shallow materialistic heteronormative white world he is my cure!

Late Bloomer US Boomers All Kings Diseasy

Most men believe vulnerability means ur weak, speak on the bleak not just happy, live in ur truth uncensored, y'all social medially indentured, showing only the highlight reel, instead of expressing how u really feel, good or bad, mad and sad, be exploitful, when ur joyful, but don't get caught up in illusion, forgive my intrusion, I'm always deep, sew yet don't reap, so not superficial, rude or hypocritical, especially intentionally, I'm multidimensionally me, an openly gay double Gemini, knowingly submissive but non effeminate guy, super emotional tho, totally a stoner hoe, only indica please, I'm minimalist chic not cheap, perhaps frugal, is wishing hip hop success futile, cuz my life would be in vain, that plight's strife's wracking my brain, humanity's stain, it's insanity shame's engrained in the pained, engraved in the hearts and souls of the enslaved, beholden to cave, taught and told to behave, just remain quiet, the rich and powerful disdain riots, knowledge is revolutionary, free education is evolutionary, the US are apparently late bloomers, the youth's doomed cuz baby boomers, who refuse to relinquish and share the wealth, they never took initiative to protect planetary health, colonization killed that initiative thru a trail of tears, nowadays the whole globe's controlled by fear, injustice running rampant, 1% comfortably glamping, all kings diseasy selfish and greedy, eradicating any welfare programs supporting the poor and needy, our government's disgusting, cutting and gutting, democracy at its core, capitalism's flawed wanting exponentially more, that's simply unsustainable, some stereotypes falsely identify/label, which just fucks love up, scarcity sucks, but we willingly hamster wheely rely on luck, to miraculously help get us unstuck!

Why Not Give It All We Got

I love soul rnb pop rock and esp hip hop, but I'm at the point I need to get a day job, y'all don't crave enough to pay, not sure if it's cuz I'm too old white privileged or openly gay, or perhaps I'm to blame, getting in my own way, overwhelmed by concentrated grief, how do I maintain any hope faith or belief, even down on my knees, I'm not being heard or seen, like I'm not worthy of existence, my life's defined by my resilience/consistent persistence, am I close to done yet, with all that I've given when do I get, of course I'm upset I'm hurt, feel cursed since birth, just me and my mom, wondering can a sub become dom, gotta switch up tactics, instead of defensive get active, go after what I want, stay humble tho don't gloat or flaunt, help lift others up, spread lots of hugs and love, cuz we never know, if there's no tomorrow, enjoy each moment to the fullest, play this metaphorical game of life bullish, I mean why not, give it all we got!

Fuck No Homo Stoner Bro Poets Allowed

Indecision becomes a prison, why isn't anybody listening, I'm responsible but don't make major decisions, in my opinion evil is ruling over our dominion, and good people are getting screwed, karma's confused, I'm tired of being used and abused, shooed and poo pooed by the lewd crude prude, I'm super insecure being publically nude, and I don't know why, I'm slightly bashful but not a shy guy, by any means, considered a pot fiend, cuz yeah I'm probably high, like 97% of the time, life's just better stoned, my hip hop craft has been fine tuned/honed, I'm at the point in my life, I'm hungry to fight, so watch out, I'm rap ready to bout, now that I've got some clout, fuck this no homo stoner bro poets allowed!

No Too Soon To Say I Love U

When's too soon, to say I love u, 3 days weeks or months, I don't say it tons, just moments I truly feel it, that real shit, but it doesn't need to be said in return, u learn the yearn, over a non specified period of time, without reason but in rhyme, there's different levels, it can completely destroy and deshevel, needs to be mourned and grieved, when it's complete, I mean where does the love go, when the relationship's done tho, seems to translate into hate, I wanna break that fate, at least remain friends, that type of connection never ends, fuck sex, and y'alls definition of success, I want peace, and to be happy, which he makes me, especially lately, not in a codependent way, but it ain't easy being gay, like my dad asked he lifts me up, washes my worries away with his big bear hugs, even when life gets rough and tough, I hope he knows he's just as unconditionally loved!

Revolutionary Activism

Hip hop is revolutionary activism, but most ya'll ain't living or listening, music is supposed to be transcendent and enlightening, there's a big difference between freestyle battling and songwriting, esp since I'm only authentic and genuine, I'm much more of a humble gentleman, but that don't make me a nice chump finishing last, I don't feel the need to put others on blast, I'd rather self deprecate than appropriate, definitely ain't trying to perpetuate hate, but since I'm gay and white, best believe I'm here queer and ready to ignite that fight, to help love win, when will fun rebegin, I haven't had any since I was a kid, death and grief make it impossible to forgive, what's the point, if existence is just a Shakespearean tragedy I'm pissed off/annoyed, fairness and justice are fairytale fables, I'm always ready willing and able, to throw a R.A.P show on the spot, giving my whole heart and soul with all that I've got, to entertain y'all, while I navigate life's trustfall, knowing none of u will even try to catch me, does anyone else think about legacy, I'm still determined to make mine epic, probably seem crazy and eccentric, to think a faggot cracker rapper can succeed in the mainstream, selling out stadiums and winning Grammys, I don't care if u equally agree or believe, cuz only I can achieve my own dreams I conceive!

A Boss Breaking Cycles

Still trying to figure out how to break cycles that are toxic, this hamster wheel shit is tired and obnoxious, I'm pissed at god, why does life gotta be this unfair and hard, like it's simply torture we survive, seems like ain't a chance in hell on earth I'll ever thrive, even as a masculine gay white dude, thinking I can make it in the rap game am I a fool, I'm confident in myself, but nobody makes it without help, half my family is dead and gone, wondering when I no longer have to mourn, mom's health is declining, and every day I awake I'm finding, more stress pressure and responsibility, I'm only human without any super hero abilities, isn't that common sense, perhaps these are all reasons I justify staying bent, I don't drink much smoke cigs or do hard drugs, cuz I'm all about love and spreading hugs, never feel like I'm enough, no easy street all roads are tough, that's why I live to serve, u get what u give is what I've learned, instead y'all give what u get, hurt people hurt people bet, my community is broken, I've tried to be a revolutionary example being outspoken, but I'm repeatedly dismissed, equal opportunity and support are my biggest wish, am I standing on that ledge alone, my reputation and character should not be defined by who I bone, I wear my heart not my sexuality on my sleeve, I have unwavering hope and faith u best believe, I'm determined to be seen and heard, I'll use both hip hop and spoken word, whatever gets my point across, remember to never ever underestimate a boss!

Either Or Times 4

I'm definitely not pitch perfect, but trust seeing my passion and soul performing live is worth it, I'll leave my heart on the stage, connect with straights and gays, cuz consciousnesses is universal, I practice my fat hairy italian ass off during rehearsal, I've got that wow factor dropping jaws, breaking down boundaries stereotypes and outdated laws/social norms, I'm not the problem nor the root cause, but a magnet for others who feel wallflowerish and lost, my hip hop music's transcendent rhythm and poetry, I want the whole globe whether I go by JC or JV to know it's me, I can't help it I'm a double Gemini, since it's both my sun and moon sign, and a lil sag, I readily admit and embrace the fact that I'm a weird kinky fag, change the n word to that, since I ain't black, when I'm doin memorized classic cover songs, behind the mic feels like I'm where I belong, almost my home, of course I'm stoned, in a happy safe space, wishing y'all could display more honor dignity and grace, we need love gratitude and kindness, I've learned light might mean mindfulness, being present for the gift that it is, fuck just Christmas!

Reignite Love's Light For Life

U can't run or hide, but why'm I glorified only after I've died, seems like a wasted life, that ain't fair or right, is that the gay white plight, isn't black the absence of light, in hip hop I gotta bark and bite, add a dab of spice to my tiny slice, while both races still won't unite nor get tight, we all must fight together with might, for the future to really be bright, I hope my legacy is to always spark and reignite, since love's colorlessness gives lifts with angelic wings for flight, to new levels/existential heights, so even any ignorance gains insight, despite humanity's gripes slights or spite, we gonna rise as sure as another day turns to night!

Too Much Not Enough

U ever feel like ur too much and not enough at the same time, it's not that I'm too lazy to grind, I'm simply tired of never getting closer to achieving my dreams, hard work doesn't pay like it seems, and I'm just plain tired, why everyone else who's hired, actually succeeds, what about me and my needs, I'm learning, perhaps I'm undeserving, too comfortable and spoiled, making dinner reheated or boiled, definitely not gourmet style, far from domesticated I'm a wild child, wanna sell out stadiums and win a Grammy, I don't think anyone could possibly understand me, I simply can't fake shit, absolutely worried I won't make it, and I'll be perceived a fool, a wasted life cuz I played too by the rules, that are imaginary and only an illusion, totally doomed to wrong choosing, I played the safe bet, took for granted my great net, my beautiful family provided, and now griefs divided, to equal just me and mom, waiting for that massive last bomb, when she's gone, how will I not live bitterly scorned, all alone, can I rediscover or recreate that feeling of home?

Had A Bad Day Ok

I'm allowed a bad day here and there, even tho society doesn't care for fear, it's apart of being human, I often think to myself what the hell am I doing, I get it wrong alot, despite being wicked smart, I get in my own way, still a lil ashamed being gay, but I'm no longer a brother, having trouble showing grace and gratitude towards my mother, we've sort of reversed roles, she doesn't understand my dreams and goals, gotta stop looking for her approval it'll never happen, do u ever find urself awkwardly laughing, when it's something serious or not the right time, should stop replying I'm fine, especially when I'm really not, fuck business minded I'm all heart, and also soul, gotta get up and go, staying stagnant hasn't been healthy, what will I do once I'm wealthy, I don't feel prepared, look at all the hardship I bared, I'm very proud, and reject that dark cloud shroud, I'm letting love's light in again, perhaps my life is some other beginning's end.

The Price I Pay Faking Ok

Had a bad day after a terrible night, why is my life a neverending torturous fight, I'm not good at faking ok, when every day seems I have to pay, cuz my existence is only about money, I suck so bad at succeeding it's becoming funny, so fucking cliche, I mean a hip hop artist who's white short bald chubby and openly gay, come on get real, people don't care to listen to music that's thought provoking deep and makes em feel, most rap fans hate a sensitive sally, I've lost my ability to confidently rally, like I have no more hope and faith, my spark of light got crushed by grief's wave, all I ever wanted was to make my mom proud, but look what I allowed, I'm just a shell, maybe that's why I'll wind up in hell, only to keep reliving this nightmare, I keep choosing to live life comfortably right in fear!

A Long Shot

Isn't everything a long shot, and as I grew up I forgot, how to live and dream, nothing is really as it seems, responsibility is inevitable, I see it as the devil, I don't want it, am I even fit, when I look in the mirror, it all becomes unclearer, what is the fucking point, actually I'm rather annoyed, time hasn't healed any wounds, it wasn't until Wallace I swooned, do I deserve love tho, drowning in my own dug hole, can a person replace another, perhaps I've existed undercover, now I just feel invisible, success has been minimal, so it's hard to be consistently persistent, can't imagine having a manager agent or assistant, yet I'm overwhelmed often, mostly envisioning urns and coffins, I can't bring myself to visit their grave sight, my darkness hates light, but that's all they say I am, why don't I agree that I can, strangers often believe, so how come I can't agree, only in death do I feel my mom will see me, from my roots I'll be freed, her wings will help me fly, loved ones surround us when they die, like a force field protecting us, I only hope to start electing guts, cuz my mind and heart are tired and broken, all the apologies and affirmations spoken, haven't worked, the regret and resentment exacerbates the painful hurt, I cant take back or fix the mistakes, I don't want to become consumed by gloom and hate, but how, and what am I supposed to do now, so alone, fully grown, scared as hell, I won't dare to share or tell, cuz truth's subjective, maybe I've always been over protected, even spoiled privileged and coddled, too ticklish being fondled, sensitive to any touch, perpetually told I'm too much, stay bent, trying to diminish being intense, when I finally let go, my ultimate wish is to find the best Joe!

How Here...Now Where

I used to escape thru writing, all the grief I've endured's stifling, the future seems lost with no hope, finding joy is the only way to cope, but both are rare, mom's had a hell of a health care scare year, I'm consumed by doom, I've never fantasized being a groom, while I long for love, nothing's more healing than a hug, do any of y'all just not feel good enough, or perhaps simply stuck, trapped in our own chosen design, please don't believe anybody's spokenly fine, ask that follow up question, why u bsing, hiding behind a crocodile smile, am I on society's trial, like it's the Joe Show, gotta grow some homo mojo tho, spread sass, kick ass, vanquishing evil, dictate against sheeple, as if it were words not deeds, and Putin had the power to charge fees to breathe, syllables become expensive, devolutionarily intensive, communication gets wasted, so depressively regressive u can taste it, numb and bland, it's hard to fathom/understand, how on Pluto did we get here, good god we got conquered by fear...now where?!

Probably Think This Poem Is About U

Ur soul's so vain, ain't no full blown grown shame, oh I'm sorry...silly me, I forgot y'all are exempt from accountability, must I sit complicit silently, politely delightfully all sexy smiley, matter fact bow down to me, and eternally now and forever vow to be, urs truly, whorish abusively, have infinite side pieces like hustles, when it speaks it out loud gets repeatedly muzzled, so can't hear me clearly, daringly fairy, I'm completely fucked up about love, is marriage a contracted act of ownership over a sub, the victim and its prey, like a record company and their artist aka slave, don't tell me how to behave, I won't degrade or spread hate cuz I'd rather self depricate, make many mistakes and absolutely refuse to be disingenuous or fake, I just need my big break, have hope and faith, just maybe perhaps someday, but either way I didn't prove a fool, this poem like Joni's song definitely ain't about u!

Can a homo be a hero, or do we automatically start below zero, u know cuz we're less than, I'm a blessed man, despite my flaws, try to absorb like gauze, soak it all up, it's none of ur business who I love or fuck, I'm a fabulously talented poet/rapper, but all y'all see is a cracker, white men can't jump nor succeed in hip hop, watch me as I mic drip drop, just like jaws wide open, a lot of truth is sarcastically said followed by just joking, aka jk, isn't being PC pretty gay, l...o...l, I'm goin with Lil Nas X to hell, in bloody sneaks, I'd love to collab on One Love One Heart with him Adam Lambert and me, maybe even get Steve Grand, and we can start a band, tour the whole globe, with an all homo variety show, I mean why not, it's my dream pride plot, and since we only got one life to live, like Mike I'm wondering what more can I give, our ultimate purpose is to serve, constantly grow and learn, never achieving perfection, yet still striving to be a thriving inspiring legend!

Find Mindfulness In True Unconditional Love Gratitude & Kindness

Why isn't knowledge and wisdom in hip hop relevant, y'all popularized and glorified the gangster mentality and it's evident, I'm both book and street smart, have an old soul and a great big heart, that wants to love and save the whole wide world, I may be gay but I still have nothing but love for women and girls, my experience is extremely different, everything can change in an instant, it's about adaptation, u better wake up and pay attention to admiration, what u passionately strive to achieve, having the ability to agree to disagree, without the need to demonize or blame, I never knew how much I was consumed by guilt and shame, the jealousy and envy would just perpetuate the self hate, couldn't even see I'm already great, yet long for approval and validation, financial and award winning applauding congratulations, instead I find myself isolated disconnected and dismissed, like I'm not worthy enough to even exist, especially in the music business, doubly privelaged, being male and white, I hate the stereotype gays can't fight, I'd rather make peace than war, give back to the youth and to the poor, use my transcendent poetry and music to help heal, lead by example that boys can be vulnerable empathetic and deeply feel, I try to remain humbly confident genuinely authentic and real, keep hoping that vibration catches fire and has mass appeal, wish we all could find mindfulness, focusing on true unconditional love gratitude and kindness!

Where The Spotlight Beams

Begging the world to find bliss in the mindfulness, of love gratitude and kindness, for others as well as ourselves, we all deserve a lil help, and that's totally ok, why are y'all so afraid, vulnerability isn't weak, sexy geek can be sheik, u don't have to be one thing, we need a fun King to lead yet be someone who sings, moves troops with just the use of their voice, beware the consequence of choice, shouldn't dismiss accountability, as willy nilly or silly, simply cuz Trump does, his irresponsible nature fucked us, and I won't only blame him, the bandwagon enraged and enflamed a symptom, that became epidemic proportioned, evil consorting and cohorting til democracy's abortion, contradicting reversal of roe v wade, fascists aren't bold or brave, they're dangerous and disastrous, have we become a wacky combination of stepford/plastics, where did our soul go, didn't make it between the goal posts, colored outside the lines, gender roles demonized, so pronouns are grammatically incorrect, one entity but with a plurality effect, are we challenging too many universal laws, level up from rehearsal applause, covid isolation is over, performing artists holding the weight of the lack of crowds on their shoulders, like the hault was our fault, and the hurdle is impossible to vault, since we aren't making money for other people, talent and musicality nowadays feeble, I'm about ready to quit, even tho I write sing and spit, it doesn't seem to be good enough, and I get no luck or love, how am I supposed to believe in achieving my dreams, seems there's no control where the spotlight beams!

Facts Not Gas

Me and music are transcendent, unlike Lil Nas X I ain't pregnant, those are facts not gas, u can't tell I'm gay by my looks or how I act, I'm not a stereotype, y'all need to get a life, stop focusing on mine, good things take time, so my greatness will take an eternity, wish more men would show maturity, since empathy is lacking, stop choosing what ur attracting, be ur own damn prince charming, the lack of integrity is alarming/disheartening, why can't hip hop grow the fuck up, I'm all about truth equality consciousness and love, perhaps I'm too smart, give too much of my soul and heart, silly me being so foolish, lost in mediocrity's sewage, y'all seem so clueless, feeding capitalism's abusiveness, no more raw talent and skill, will my destiny be fulfilled, or am I living in vain/disdain, just angry from incessant pain, rejection hurts, what if I wore heels a wig and skirt, would I be noticed then, I refuse to be used again, I know my own value and worth, perhaps this is a rebirth, I'm willing to start all over, without the whole globe on my shoulders, cuz I can't fix save or change anything except myself, hope u know I mean no I won't help, cuz when I asked y'all ran away, sorry not sorry I don't pay to play, put ur money where ur mouth is, I'm simply not about to bout or diss, there's room for all to succeed, I have limitless hope faith and belief, at least I'll resiliently get up and try if I fall, blessed be peace and love to all y'all!

When I take a second glance, I suck at grabbing that chance, I've been unlucky in love, mostly cuz I never felt good enough, now I'm filled with regret, still don't think I'm a safe bet, but maybe that's ok, perhaps that's my punishment for being openly gay, I've got the best family and friends, and the support from my fans never ends, I see how lucky privileged and blessed I truly am, so I'll be as grateful as I can, tho my story is far from over, it's time to take the world off my shoulders, and just be, I'm so proud and thankful I am me!
