“Just Be You” by Erik Andrade for Manny Pay$0 Album

Just BE You

Girl

don’t get caught up

playing

follow the followers

following

trend setters

false image

of tomorrow

or borrowers

forgetting

the power is

in your inside

no longer

caught up in

ego’s insecurity

that pretend lie

unaware try

to defend

pride

but my dear

you should not care

your pretty

resides within

beautiful beneath

what hides your skin

when you wake up

don’t cover up

with make up

cuz under cover

your defined by

a divine design

so one of a kind

a work of art

worth more

your heart

your mind

then all the

diamonds

they mine

combined

your shine

I don’t mind

and it don’t

matter

if they do

we’re just fine

trust me

its true

ill just be

ME

and you can

just be

YOU

“Spiritual Evolutions” by Erik Andrade

spiritual evolutions
inner revolutions
Eden this sinner
retributions
where in the end
we seek solutions
see beyond the filter
of satan sick pollutions
Mother Earth
self abusing
confusing
the differences
of service
and pure using
America
it seems
we are losing
our grip on

our reality
far too often
tripped up
by abnormal con-formality
behavior
shaped by what
we call salary
selling soul
for the goal
of getting the gold
spirit sold
for comforts
we hold
more important
than mere
morals1270480_4975353235446_2011924373_oWritten by Erik Andrade of La Soul Renaissance on September 29, 2014

Che of Africa

all alone

or all as ONE

call my Sun

my daughter

creating my

new world order

baptized by tears

watering my Earth

thankful to God

my daughter

would birth

so I taught her

to search

for her worth

on the inside

absent of

the ego

that defend

pride

or praise

no longer

a slave to

women or

men’s eyes

don’t crave

anything

that is pretend

lies

I pray you

open your eyes

awaken within

self accept your

own skin

as God is

the Goddess

within

I pray you

forgive

forgave

& pardon the sin

in this Garden of Men

you have to

follow your heart

and begin

to achieve what

you believe in

deep in this Eden

the matrix is misleading

painting pictures

of EVE

as deceiving

only apple feeding

not birthing

Holy Mother

seeding

of other people

in womb

she is man’s

equal

she

FE-male

creator of

new life’s

sequel

regal

royalty

care taker

of life

on

land

soil

sea

she is

as God is

A Goddess

Ayah Elihu-Allah

I see you

a STAR

that shines bright

part of God’s

divine light

so I leave you

these poems

for your hindsight

if ever fear or ego

blinds sight

slow down

open your mind

take your time

and listen within

remember to

follow your heart

go back to the start

where your

mission begin

humble

with self acceptance

still seeking

forgiveness

from sin

at peace

with the moment

in Zen

meditate

write

find release

with your pen

& as you write

down your script

make sure

your inner light

is lit

and illuminating

meditate

on thought

ruminating

on life

never caught

letting the negative

ruin what’s right

its all right

it’s all life

so live it

for you

following

your heart

& a inner rhythm

that’s true

as you

continue

to do

what YOU will

with your WILL
