"SAVIN' ME"


My life's been hammered, enamored
Wit love n evol
Under futile standards
I'm tryin' to remain strong
Raised high!, One arm
Fist balled, black panther
I've been in a dungeon of doldrums so long
Eye can't even see da beauty of notes like Q-tip in deez prison songs
Eye know a lot of shit I did out here was morally wrong
Yeah I'm binded
Finding it,
Hard!
Facing my demons n movin' on
Moved left when eye should've moved right along
But da past is gone, so eye can't dwell
Da pressures of not wanting to fail
Was equal to doing things to get us out of da hell
No longer encrypted now, most in da hood tale
Satan fast on my trail, n still til' dis day won't let GOD'S love shine n prevail
In me 
But eye believe one day I'll step up soon n be
Da person HE knew eye could be in my written soliloquies
Even tho my positive is brazened by deez beings negative energy
Facing demons on a nightly basis
Persuadin' me towards da revelation of da latter
Clouding my judgement n focus, not wanting me to be successful
Climbing da ladder
Deez daggers got me staggered
Half a fraction of thee remaining factors
Eye rebuke n defile you putrid bastards
Green is da suit worn, worshiped n compiled by da masters
Leaving dis universe plastered
A travesty
Dis lyrical ready to go lock-n-load weaponry
Is my only form of resolute tapestry
To fight what eats away at my flesh, to whom those demons would find savory
Feels like I's was born into slavery way before suge avery
Dis body is just a human vessel where my true essence is enslaved B
My literature is literally
Facing demons in da form of government, cops, judges, n corporate entities
Scrappin' everyday to get dat nickel off my back
Prayin' da Lord's grace continue's on savin' me

"LET US PRAY"


Eye try to keep my head up plus walk upright
But da devil trying to pull me down wit all his might
Lord!, please save a place for me like Pac
If eye die tonight
Take care of my fam, kids n da wife
I made some mistakes, I'm not proud of in dis life
At times
I feel like
Poetry is da only thing dat gives me delight
Dat why
Eye 
Tell you my story on deez pages I write
Everything has a season
Every choice has a price
When my words rub against pages, fire ignites!
If eye don't do nothin' else
Let dis be da legacy dat eye leave
Wish Eve n Adam never bit from dat tree
Long ago
This world took my innocence
I'm under duress
Chokin', Hope dying to breathe
No Crowd!
No A.J!
No B.E.T!
Free is all ever wanted to be
Try to do good but like X said, good ain't been too good for thee
Eye don't try to be nobody else
It's just hard enough being me
Love crept in, left without a warning like B.I.G
Heartache entered, eye devoured da key
So she
Couldn't break me down again like a math problem n flee
Thought OUR humanity was about empowering WE
Smokescreens clouded my vision, fear to succeed?
I was blind
But like Joe Public live n you learn, eye needed to see
Gentle eyez stare at da ocean innocently
Like a woman afterbirth mesmerized by da face of her seed
Indeed!
Now my speech cums on da screen, intercourse wit grammatical force 
Experience a muthafucka, but da realest teacher!
And dat goes out to EVERY reader
Shawn was bred to be a born leader
I blow da spot up like Nas
Can you feel da Ether?
This my story, no movie either!
But somehow got caught up like Bokeem Woodbine in da wrong feature
Ripped talent shows wit flows when der was no internet to speak of
My verses would illuminate a crowd thru da speaker
Agile like a cheetah 
Mita!
Let me holla at cha for a sec senorita!!!
Gotta overstand a man wants to feel appreciated like you too mamacita
Don't matter if you Mexican, Caucasian, Asian or a African Queen
Ethnic background has no place in dis theme
You can be Chinese-born American like Bai Ling
Anywhere yo!, from here to Beijing
Judge me by "CONTENT OF CHARACTER" like Dr. King envisioned in Dreams
And
If you a team
Your happiness can't be based on no cream 
GOD is LOVE!, so dat should be da main objective in things
Especially, if shit hits da fam n evil seeps thru multiple seams
Everything
Ain't what it seem!
Told ya people before, I'M BACK ON MY DEAN!
Fuck yo squad!
Flashing Lights, I'm Hazardous to a nation regime!!!
We cum together for sex n other exotic sensual scenes
But can't come together to fight what our corrupt government slings
IF NO UNITY!!!, den WHAT DOES DIS MEAN?
Death!, is da only other extreme
We'll never change cause, most are stuck in dey ways 
Last Dayz, comin' closer while our souls are driftin' farther away 
AmeriKKKa only concerned wit dey little penny's like Anfernee Hardaway
Amen!
Bow ya headz now
Let us Pray

"My Give A Damn Is On Vacation"((Collaboration with Ariel Senat))

Ra Shine McKoy 
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥



My thoughts are sporadic
Sort of like a crack addict
Poetry becomes a habit 
Were connected like a marriage
Shawn Stare
A Mic Assassin!
Far from average
Cats don't really want no static
Spit it raw, no prophylactic's!
Tryin' to maintain in a world wit there's so much sadness
I hear a lot of talk but eye never see no action
Niggaz trash! n dey need to quit rappin'
Lyrics suck!
Music slackin'!
Were subjected
Subjugated to da MADNESS!
What is this?, a beauty pageant!
See deez damn fruity faggots
Culture ruined
Notes lackin'
People ain't stupid cause we see da pattern
Brave savage
Throwin' heat like Tom Glavine
I'm Blackin'!
Crossed up but no Catholic
Emcees in my presence get a toe taggin'
Death happens!
Every second
Mind n a pen is a very lethal vital weapon
Perpetuating cycles
Will we ever learn our lessons?
Host of questions
Drowned wit answers full of lies n deception
Depths of da inner spectrum
Shine no freakin' light towards our outer sector
Fuck da chedda!
Two letters
D.B
Concentrate on doin' better
But deez devils only wanna see us suffer
Pray for dat child dat has no damn mother
No father!
Drugged up in da womb before dey even became a toddler
Life robber!
Grave digga!
Mister, I'm a HEAVY HITTER!
Billy Crystal
Surrounded by city slickers
Yup!
I paint a graphic picture
Who told you, you could ever fuck wit dis nasty spitta?
Janet Jackson?
My nation in tune wit da rhythms, plantar fasciitis
On da edge of our heels, da pain just inflames our passion
Engraved plus Enraged wit da facets
Sullen tactic's
Broken promises repeated!
Reenacted!
Chicks can't even survive da tongue dat I'm swingin', Lashin'!
Grab yo chest, I know you gaspin'
For some air
Yo! it's Stare
I'm on my dean
Niggaz better give it up like Jeru n come clean
Stop it wit da tight jeans, make-up, n Maybelline
Be a strong King dat was meant fo' yo precious Queen
Now-a-dayz, shit twisted!
Datz da problem as eye observe all da analytic's
Up close or from a distance
How you expect da youth to progress wit no equipment?
Slashing programs wit no assistance
Furthering ya own initiative's
Man It's real fucked up!, how we live
Passed up by da government
Ova skullz
Problems still Hoverin'
Haterz love to see you when
You not doing great
Mad!, cause dey ain't doing it
But fuck em'!
Keep ridin' fo my peepz, we all in a struggle
Your rebuttal
Useless
if it don't coincide
Wit
What you mumbled
Soldier mode!
We will alwayz get back up, if we stumble


ARIEL SENAT
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥


Now that you've felt the Shawn stare Internal revenue
Now I'm coming to you Better then Saks Fifth Avenue
Check out this Panoramic view
Found by my vocal Musical review
Under professional Judicial review
Its ok to Drop the other shoe
Daily I see hearts crying Cock-a-doodle-doo
Niggahs softer then Winnie the Pooh
Deception Went up the kazoo
So that niggah never thought I'd Tippecanoe
Easily I'll make you part of the Skeleton crew
Unlike many my Room with a view
Part carribean & Red,white,blue
Respect my flow Poo poo pee doo
Gargamel How do you do
What the- what- Brand spanking new
Its not true Catch-22
Im worser then a Wrecking crew
A square root aftermath of World War 2
A delinquent Witches brew
Good gosh Worm's-eye view
Do what u do just watch not wash my Tennis shoe
& another day you'll see Whoop-de-do
I dont mind befriending a Two by two
A little Jujitsu
My baby survived a Through n through
For that shit I wish I cud lay down the Smackaroo
So now I take a sip of Mountain Dew
Turn it up to Code blue
Its not wise to Misconstrue
Me & teezy tighter then Malibu
We'll even cook you an Oyster stew
While shawn chills with that lyrical sunshine Ocean view
That shit be like Peek-a-boo
Treating yo ass like an animal Petting zoo
We all have a different Point of view
No matter what Postage is due
Banned blocked Not once but Quit a few
From facebook Rendezvous
Who gives a bald monkeys ass heres the Switcheroo
I taste better then Swiss fondue
Penetrate your cranial grounds precise concise Corkscrew
Make your soul holler choo-choo
Everyone looking crazy & Me too
Cuz the world is filled with too much blah blah & goo-goo
So come here & let me fix your Hairdo
This essence is Home-brew
Theres always a manual on How to
Harder then a Horseshoe
You can fuck with my Iq
Kablam Kazoo
My book kisses of my pain sold on Lulu
As serious as Kungfu
Devastation ink Lean to
Everyone it Outgrew
Multiples Out due
But never frail always On cue
Do I look like I'm from Peru
Then why would I bargin with a niggah in a Tutu
That shit aint Taboo
More like you must be crazy Voodoo
Big bro infinite says woot woot thats that latin Woo-woo
Hmm what you,Says who?
Come on Stinkaroo
The reality Tried n true
Win a few loose a few
Now its Toodle-oo
Thank you

I SEE YOU
WILDBREEZY

"BY ANY MEANZ"

Some things you gotta learn
it can't be taught
Don't ask how much for my soul man
It can't be bought
50 Cent for ya thoughts
When it Rains, It Pours
Try to keep my faith
Praise da Lord!
We can keep it trillz, sharpen our skillz wit deez lyrical swords
Instead of being sent to a prison or our nearest morgue
Everybody tryin' to move up like Weezy n George
Eye see a lot of divorce!
It's sad how most couples can't stay connected like Honda on 1 Accord
Murder rate runnin' rampant, Cats strapped wit gunz
Both parents out here losing daughters n sons
Makes you wanna scream to da top of ya lungs!!!
Think about it for a sec bro
How far did we come?
From da heaven's
Dr. King lookin' down
Probably appaulled at some
Two people in relations should compromise
It can't be ALL or none
It should be ALL FOR ONE!
Not your way or da highway
1 n done!
On ya noggin'
I'm tryna drop some jewels, Help you improve
So you won't suffer my fate n wear a pair of my shoes
Cause believe me
Dey hurt my dude!
But deez little cats are hard-headed
Sarcasm in dey voice
In dey hearts
Pain, Anger embedded
Not tryna gas you up
But dis world will beat you all da way down to da ground youngin', if you leaded
Don't be afraid to follow ya dreams
Or else son, You'll regret it!
Be it this or Music, Always hit you wit a message
On dat note
Maybe eye could give solace to someone out there
Reading dis right now
Physically
Datz Not in my presence
Young or Old
No exception!
Gotta have patience
Cause everyday you can learn "Something New" like Sanaa Lathan
Poetry for me y'all is a healing agent
Whether Good or Bad
Eye jot down or write about everything dat I'm facin'
High's n Low's
Pro's n Con's
Severed bonds
Happiness
Overjoyed
Like Stevie
Seeing my kids doin' well excel n exceed me
Just know I die for em' peepz
If
Need be
Eye would rather you pray for me
Instead of crying
Winan like Ce Ce
Watch out for Snakes n Centipede's
On da low
Slither like Rebbie
Blaze deez pages like Wyatt Earp
It's My First Love like Ke Ke
Be passionate about anything dat you do
Whatever you decide to pursue
From start to finish Like my granny said
See it thru!
In a marriage
Ya wife should really bring out da best in you
And you in her
Become 1 like da Sun
Like 2pac
It Ain't Easy
Yea!
Eye know dis world can weigh a ton
At times
Even more den dat
Keep God 1st, let em' be your shield to hold all deez devils back
Temptations everywhere, be aware
Stay away from da trap
Me n dis pc engage make "Computer Love" like Zapp
My fingers caress da keys as eye transfer scripts right to da screen
Where a team!
Datz how WE ALL vibe, intertwined in dis machine
Be smart like Malcolm but protect yourz, By Any Meanz

"HOLD YA HEAD"

Funny how we parted ways
Not really cause we both had a part to play
Ya love was like Luther, I was So amazed!
At times cool den turbulence
Simple!
Plane!
I held you down thru da rain
In da bed
Made you came
You did da same
Reminiscin'
Callin' out each other names
Pinky Pinky
Lovin' how you gave me brains
Returned da favor
Ate it up
Til' ya sprouted
Like a geyser, bangin' on da headboard frame
Ice!
Whip Cream!
Hand-cuffs n Chains
But on da outer walls is where our love was stained
No trust!
Communication
Just very hurtful words
In our slang
We let it linger
Frank Ocean
Both was numb like Novacane
House became
Silent!
As we remained
Happiness
Turned to arguments, plus stress n pain
Our relationship
Suffered in da mist of other things
Soon
We didn't even have unity
Was it you?
Was it me?
"Where Did We Go Wrong?" Like Jeffrey Osborne n LTD
Guess we forget to work at it
Left gears in Cruz control like Penelope
It's hell to see!
Somebody everyday n you know dat she
Don't view you in da same capacity
When y'all first met
Dat shit stings deep inside n makes you feel worthless
You know da show is at da end of it's run
Curtains!
Den comes da flirtin'
Temptation everywhere you look is lurkin'
Come home from workin'
Who ever get there first
See each other car n keep goin'
Tears flowin'
Remain strong, too much pride to let em' know it
Like Jill Scott, try to live ya life like it's "Golden"
To da world n on stage, your a poet
But to her, you just another cat
Chasin' dreams in yo raps
She said listen here yo!, "Our bills is stacked"
Tellin' you, you can't pay lights, heat, n rent wit dat
Til' then
Dat slave nine to five is where you stay at
It's a man world
But it would be nothin' without a women or a girl black
Courtesy of James Brown
Here's comes da "Big Payback"
I hate dat!
Dis land is built on money n material things like a maybach
Most cats
Don't even know where der next meal is comin' from
Or have a place to lay dey head at
Sometimes you gotta shovel shit, bite da bullet
Take crap!
Humble ya self n try to get back
On ya feet
Learn from ya me-stakes
Pray da Lord bless you wit a rebate
A clean slate!
Cause we all had our share of tough times n heartaches
Stuck in situations like a automobile park brake
But da sun shines eventually like Pac said,
So "Hold Ya Head" n keep da faith!

"Hold Ya Head" By Ra Shine McKoy aka Shawn Stare

"RING THEE ALARM"

Eye love women
Like Clit
Eye leave da damn page drippin'
Forget deez haterz!
Charlie Sheen
I'm still winnin'
Still smilin' at deez jokers wit a real big incision
Rupture tendons
I'm in a rhythm
Kwame
Is dis Christmas?
Cause everyone rappin' like dey wrappin' gifts
All up
In a sentence
Mi Amor
Eye adore
Gettin' head like Bill Clinton
She grip Jimmy swift like she was hangin' on a Cliff
Hang on
"I Can See Clearly now, da Rain is Gone"
Like Drag-On, I flame on!
Like napalm
Take a nigga beat n den I drop bombs to dey song
Spit it in terms you can understand or laman
Eye know everybody don't love Shine like Raymond
But it don't matter
Cause I'm still gonna climb da ladder
Springin' daggers
Bet eye see you on da way down
Hot before June
April May clown
Hey now!
Lil' Cease
You don't wanna play around
I smash
Like Don Cheadle, make you "Crash"
Dis chopper slim ya weight fast
I'm top brass
Grandmaster
Ole skool like Caz
Illmatic like Naz,
Excuse me Nas
Like him, I do it for my precious daughters
Any emcee, I'll slaughter
Charter borders
Fly High
Wavin' at da clouds ova ocean waters
Blazin' Trails like Terry Porter
On tracks
Glide like Clyde Drexler
Don't need no gadgets like da inspecter
Shawn Stare da Mic Wrecka!
Go K-Solo man in each letter
Call me Robert Blake
Lyrical beretta
Fire shots to clear ya conscience, get ya whole mind together
Hot sixteen
Knock ya out shirt, pants, socks n sweater
Nigga, you should know better!
Ova dose on deez lines
Dawg
I'm a dope spitta!
Ken Griffey Jr. out da ballpark homerun hitter
You know somebody nicer Young Jeezy
Go Getta>>>>>
Or him
Proses potent!
Spur ya heals, lock ya down like Bruce Bowen
Severely evil like da omen
Decapitate deez slow men
It's ova ref
I think ya better Ring thee alarm n go grab ya shield like slomin

"Ring Thee Alarm" By Shawn Stare

"LINES"

X out ya dark men
Ya won't ever catch me slippin'
I'm not for dat bull like Scottie Pippen
In n out of  lanes you might see me dippin'
I'm a ape
Flow Bananas!
Back in da day
Used to rock Bandana's
To match my gear
What it do my nig, it's Stare!
Da booth is my dragon lair
On da mic
Spit fire!
Catchin' mad bodies like Wee-Bey from da Wire
I never retire
Blow smoke to Weed out da truth bruh among deez liars 
Poorhouse!!!!
My empire
Emcee King Poet Sire!
Shine bring light to a nice cypher
Amazin' writer
4 Life!, I'm a Giant!
Lol!
Fuck da cowgirls, beagles, deadskins n forty-whiner's
Break niggaz down, fragile like some china
Brothaz, Keep ya head up on korners pitchin' white like Ralph Kiner
Movin' Keys like Alicia in her minor
Remember when I had my notes scribbled, locked in a binder
Sometimes da teacha didn't really have Shawn attention
Fist to my head
Writin' on my damn composition
Drawin' graffiti brick wallz in da classroom
Wit a homeboy patented wit adidas in da back
Wit a radio box 
Boom!
Looney how I drop tunes
Lyrics
Wax n mop rooms
Ya don wan it wit me boy
I'm past rude!
It's written all ova ya face like you went n ate some bad food
Music is da Answer like Colonel Abrams yo!, when I blast fools
I'm on da map
Ova head
Clubbin' cats
Jack Jack Jack ya body like Steve "Silk" Hurley
Crazy like Mr. Furley
"Whatz Happenin" like Shirley?
On da Freeway, I get it in early
Pedal to da metal goon
C & C Music factory
Take a long toke of deez freakin' gas fumes
I'm rad dude! 
Lynch mobs
Jack beats like Ice-Cube
Sit back relax!
Boney James
Enjoy dis jazz croon
er
Words come out fluently, I never slur
But Charlton Heston, might take a chick n ben hur
Ova
Work it like a soldier!, Ram my engine in her fender
Go long like Marino to Clayton n Dup-er
Do it like a dolphin
Den Flipp-er
Ra Shine work da middle wit such splendor
Nowadayz 
Deez ninja turtle bastards be rattin' like splinter
Alarms embedded in my mental sensor
Most dudes act like females, need to switch up dey gender
Furthermore
From da jaw
Pledge allegiance to forever kick it raw!!!
Love is a battlefield
Just like Pat Benatar
It might, even leave a scar
Like when I rock da crowd dawg n kick a bar
In my own write
Mos Def!
I'm a black star
Adapt in situations like an avatar
Weavin' racing in between lines like Nascar
