Coffin Contender

 

COFFIN CONTENDER

by

Anthonystjoseph

I’m a coughin’ contender

I’ve been on a bender

All I try

Is to not surrender

Is it my destiny

To see in me

The skeleton

Of my past history

Shall I contend

Will I win in the end

However so often

I think of the coffin

Burnin'

 

BURNIN’

by

Anthonystjoseph

I come here to learn

Not ta’ burn

Got ta’ leave fast

I think I smell gas

You and your crew

Ain’t doin’ the due

I got ta’ leave

My name is not St.eve

To go where I go

You got to believe

Ready or not

You gonna get what you got

Coming to you

For not doing the due

I must say

Goodbye to you

Fire…

You can even put nobility in the ghetto,

but nobility,

will always be nobility.”

Leaves

 

LEAVES

by

Anthonystjoseph

I work among thieves

Cause I belong to the leaves

You can have what’s around

It’s your ground

The one you stand on

The one you’ll be on

I am surrounded by so much love

It’s been said to me constantly

By those above

I don’t know what to do

With all of my due

One thing I know

Is that I remain true

I don’t think I can handle it

But somehow I know I can

I am

I will

It’s the deal

Love

Sheddin' My Skin

SHEDDIN’ MY SKIN

by

Anthonystjoseph

 

I only plead, for I must

My mission's to share

And to trust

They guided and guided

They wanted me there

They had decided

With me they would share

For they knew and discovered

I had formerly hovered

I’ve one choice for me

That ol’ destiny

They knew my fake cover

They mentioned my mother

As I shed my skin

Where I’ve recently been

I AM all anew

Getting ready for you

Leave-a-Round

 

LEAVE-A-ROUND

by

Anthonystjoseph

It was so good

I knew I should

Had to grab a pen

I knew right then

Before I forgot

I knew I should not

Cause what I had got

Was not to be forgot

It was a sound

That I should leave-a-round
