MY SWAGG BY: RODNEY RAINEY

My swagg is simple
like a church temple
dats quiet with potential.
It's in my blood that
runs like the river
that makes me shiver.
It feels so great
when I have my swagg
It makes me good
but also bad.

Day by day I
see the game
and walk wit swagg
that makes me bad
I'm in the hood
I rap so good
everyday and all day
what more can I say

I know I'm not the best
but I don't care
no time to spare
my swagg is here.

DA FUTURE PLAN

It's been hard for me during the past now but I am a person with confidence.I think that things will be ok for me in the future.So far I'm confused with what my future plans will be and how I will execute these plans.I will work and always make my money until I get to the top of my huge mountain.I want to go to college for construction management and then become a master plumber.I will also get my own house and own my own business.

WESTSIDE GENTLEMEN

Wat up big west
my hood to be
I walk these streets
everyday and week
I'm cool at times
I live in crime
with theifs
and robbers
or even dealers
not pittsburgh steelers
on this westside
I walk so nice
and real polite
like sunny delight
bright days
no nights.
Excuse myself
I need no help
myself a man
and gentlemen
I am and know
who's on my side
my hood to be
is the WESTSIDE.

LOOSING SLEEP

I look and stare
but I can't sleep
I try to rest
my soul to sleep
I keep my thoughts
of good long sleep
I think for weeks
of how I sleep
I vision myself
layin down
on a beach
I loose my sleep
slowly by weks
my soul to keep
I want to sleep
I learn one day
no words to speak
I hope one day
I go to sleep.

LOST AND CONFUSED

What can I do?
or can I say?
sometimes I know
or never know
How can I live?
or What I want?
Who can I trust?
in me or them
I really don't know

What can I do?
I'm so confused
and lost
It's true
I think and wonder
How I can view
I think I'm lost
and so confused.

GETTIN TO HEAVEN

I've been so bad
in my whle life
I'm so confused
of where I'm going
I can't really see that
big bright light
that shines so far
in the dark.

I told few truths
and many lies
that glisten my eyes.
Which way can I go
Heaven or Hell?
I gotta stay strong
my view is long
I wanna hear that
gospel song.

LIFE

Life is like a picture
something you can save
or throw away.........
Life is like a book
with stories and
chapters..........

Life is like water
that you need and drink..........
Life is like a CD
that plays and stops
music...........

Life is like glass
that is fragile
and can break
at anytime.

It's not how you talk the
talk but how you carry
yourself around the way........

Everyday I think of life
as if I was afraid of
death and failue
and also shame.

I try nd live my life
not worried whats at the end
and I measure my time as if
it was the end.

I move like the force
the best that I can be
this is where I live
in life and society.

A BAD SENIOR

The year is here
hard and tough
my all to give is
good enough.
I'm a SENIOR
I do my work
I'm bad in class
but good to work
I'm young
I'm tall
I walk the halls
and trip not fall.
The teachers teach
I throw a peach
A bad senior
ready to leave.
I squeeze her tight
a girl I need
snack line I see
so far
so long
I skip them all
with time to spare.
A teacher is near
I duck
I hide
booty by my side
I smile with pride
A crazy year.

UNKNOWN LIFE BY: RODNEY RAINEY

How can I be free
of violence and anger
or even life.
I look so far
to find myself
mean and mad
at everything.
What do I look for
and how do I reveal
I look beyond the past
one minute and time
will pass.
How do I reveal
what is right from
wrong.
How can I heal
the things that I did
wrong.
Can I live beyond
the stars?
the light that is seen so far?
What can I do to make things
right with so much at sight
I really do live an unknown life.
