The Rebirth of Fashion

When fashion takes a break it sits down and takes a picture.

Me and the Microphone






The battle of the two
the left and then the right
may I have some space to ignite
then light

up the set with that flame
you know the name Trigga Trife
who snatched the mic
across from Howard University that night

from wack ass mc's sounding ripe
nervous with the flow
jumping around acting hype

Until I mentioned Bed Stuy
Letting them know where from, was I
then represented like Iron Mike
with no need for a fight

30 seconds later
dropped a few bars before my flight
Back to BK
leaving with the crowd
saying that niggaz was tight

Samples used: Fat Albert "Hey Hey Hey"
Ahkmel Pharod "I get ah's and oh's not boo's cuz I'm real smooth"
Jamie Foxx "Oh this is some good shit"
Luciano Pavarotti (tenor) "L'elisir d'amore Luciano Pavarotti"
Onyx "Slam"


The answers formed in the fashion
Of the first question I began asking
When I was unsure of satisfaction
Where do I find this type of reaction
May it be a reflective kind of action
You see I’m confused beyond lacking
The intelligence to comprehend statements retracting
Specifity of my Mental Multi-tasking
Quick curbing the enthusiastic for laughing
Conversations serious with the God’s everlasting
Righteous enough to save my spiritual compassion
If I had to walk or travel alone

The Whole Truth and Nothing But





"If I only had a mic to record this"

Once upon a time
a muthaphucking period
in my life when I meant
to be deliberate

With the shit I spit
taking the time
in the form of graphics to express
so others can see and hear it

Whether I had to be different
or explicit
I spoke from the soul
knowing that you would get it

To be specific
I'm that kid from the borough
with the bridges
never scared, never hesitant

To represent
the opposite of decadence
my knowledge reigns
beyond the reference

Establishing the median
with the temperance
of 12 apostles
never succumbing to the negative

Standing and shining
manifesting the lessons
demonstrating the realness
less the aggression

I am many men in one
one man from a past of one
who became the one
that accepted what I've become

So you muthaphuckaz
may need to run
and get your guns
or run your funds

Before approaching me
with less than a ton
of what I am bringing
with or with out the singing of

The Whole Truth and Nothing But

I Give My Heart


You're the first thing I think of
Each morning when I rise.
You're the last thing I think of
Each night when I close my eyes.

You're in each thought I have
And every breath I take.
My feelings are growing stronger
With every move I make.

I want to prove I love you
But that's the hardest part.
So, I'm giving all I have to give
To you...

I Give My Heart

Together

Last night I thought about you
And here again
I find myself
Thinking about you
The way your smile reflected my hue
Together we as two
Which someday will equate to one
Like the heavens, earth, moon and sun
I pray to strive for the better of the day
the year, and the eternity just so you
could lie as an infinite soul mate forever
Next to me
Where we can relate,
relax and strive together
As a family
Strong enough to pull the love
Of the world

Together
