One mo for yall

You Can

You can take a trip, but don't joyride
Cause cruisin' is illegal, You can drink, but don't drive
And don't be under 21, cause you can't have no fun
But you can go to jail as an adult, Hmmph, ain't that something
You can fight for your country, but not for your rights
You can wanna be like somebody, but you can't be like-
You to many rules, You can sang' the blues
You can go wherever you choose, but you can't walk in these shoes
You can play with peoples feelins', but can you 2nd emotions
You can swim in this cesspool, but what about strokin' in an ocean
Of envy, You can be free, but not before 1863
After that it was roll with Jim Crow, Willie Lynch, or Martin Luther King
You can choose now, but only kinda sorta'
You can say damn all these laws, but they got a jail cell waitin' for ya
Then you can be Big Bubba's lover, but should you have been Uncle Tom's son?
You can take on life like stand up and fight, but you gotta know when to run

• You can be anybody that you wanna be-ee-ee
• It's all up to you,
• Just gotta believe

• You can do anythang that you wanna do-oo-oo
• Just gotta believe,
• It's all up to you

You can watch sex on T.V., but they don't use protection
You can try this at home, but you'll end up another victim
You can be an endangered species wit' a disease and yo pee
Can make you or break you for a j-o-b, but don't talk to me
Cause you can have employment and be enjoyin' it, but if one woman's hatin
She can say you was flirtin', trying to lift up her skirt and scream sexual discrimination
You can say ha-rass-ment, but there yo-ass-is
You can say stuck like Chuck, outta luck, straight fucked, but you didn't do jack shit
You can have a nice woman on the one hand, but she'll always find something
She gotta have shit for the rabbit like a carat followed by marriage
You can either be like cool, but then again you gotta think about you too
You can say I don't and mildew, but can you bar-be-cue
You can be hot, you can be the fire, you can be the flame, but can you burn
You can be on top, you can inspire all your friends, but can you learn
As you go, you can be a hoe to bigger pimpin, cause women got mo player
Than you got in your whole game, but I'm talkin' bout in her little finger

• You can be anybody that you wanna be-ee-ee
• It's all up to you,
• Just gotta believe

• You can do anythang that you wanna do-oo-oo
• Just gotta believe,
• It's all up to you

Damn Wiz!! :o Why don't you try writing a poetry book and exposing some of this stuff.

This is some of the best work i've seen. The People need to read this. You are wasteing your talent on a porno board my brother. I would hate to see someone take this shit and make money off of your talent. Get it copy written, and start your book wiz.

Everything I put up here is copyrighted.

I don't do this for money my friend.

It's all love.

If a ni99a got to steal my shit to get ahead
more power to him
cause deep in his heart
he'll always know he's a fake and a coward
and I will too.

I feel you wiz. But the people need this available to them. Great poets need recognition, and you are a great poet. I would seriously cop your book for my little cousins to read. Black art and expression is dieing (atleast the "good" kind). I can just imagine young kids reading this poetry and really LEARNING something in the process.

If a preacher can get paid, then so can you! This is not about money, but you have to be rewarded for your contribution to the struggle.

funny how much you can learn about how people REALLY are from this poetry forum as opposed to say the booty forum...lol...

I like this...you have a measure of genius in you, a unique slant, and an interesting perspective...
