Jimmy - Poet7 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 genius portraits, and possess powerful oratory sk**s 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 attitudes 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.
