This poem was written by one of the greatest MC's, actors, and poets.
You might know him from his role in the film Juice, Poetic Justice, Gang Related and many other great films. I am a huge fan of music from all genres, but nothing is like the music from the 80's and 90's.
Some would say he was the greatest rapper that penetrated hearts and minds through his lyrics and views on civil rights and political cases.
What I love about this poem is that he speaks on the issues that the people were facing when he originally wrote it and how the issues yet have no solution.
And when will they ?
I hope you all enjoy the read and check out some of his films. A powerful soul that was sadly robbed of his life.
And 2Morrow
Today is filled with anger
fueled with hidden hate
scared of being outcast
afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
which no one wants 2 face
nightmares 2 humanities
and morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
violence in the air
children bred with ruthlessness
because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my head down
but the pressure never stops
knawing at my sanity
content when I am dropped
But 2morrow I c change
a chance 2 build a new
Built on spirit intent of Heart
and ideals
based on truth
and tomorrow I wake with second wind
and strong because of pride
2 know I fought with all my heart 2 keep my
dream alive
