Love Isn’t Lost

I’ve had folks talk ill of my reputation and foes suddenly taking an interest because they think I’m no longer a contender.  Please,

you better believe as long as I breathe, I’M STILL UP FOR WHAT’S MINE! 

I took time you so get a piece of mind and maybe an identity. 

Quit comparing yourself to me and get a clue.  I got knocked out and you will too! 

I got up before 3, you left at 2. 

You put your money on the wrong contender, dude.

Wished I’d stay gone so you can be the boss.  Was on pause but I com back hard.

Lock-jaw cause you went by what you heard.  I’m back and I’m going for the jugular!

No more kissing ass, now it’s your turn. 

Not right now.  Wait your turn! 

The better you do the more they wish they were you. 

An eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth.

But the best revenge is happiness—what they’ve been trying to prevent. 

Thinking what I have coming to me belongs to them. 

All I need now is a rock to massacre them! 

I suppose I let them get to me first but I’m going to hit right back.  My turn now. 

You’ve had your chance. 

What’s meant for me is meant to be. 

Don’t get it twisted because I haven’t lost a DAMN THING!

I Shine

Funny what some will do for attention when

I just want people to leave me alone.

Some make up stories.

Some don’t know when to leave well enough

alone.

World’s been flipped upside-down.

What’s wrong is now right.

Minister’s divorcing.  Folks lying.

People aren’t trying anymore.

Despised because I don’t despise myself anymore.

Folks aren’t making sense.

Now that I’ve made a dollar out of 15 cents.  Since

you’re mad cause I won’t overcome yet

you’re mad cause I’ve overachieved and

accomplished more than my ancestors ever dreamed…

you’re mad at me.

As you oppress with words and unfriendly support,

trying to abort my purpose, you fall into the hole you dug for me.

Muddy with envy and insecurity.  It’s a wonder you can even see

through the green cause the Hulk, you’re not.  Mad ‘cause I’m hot

and you’re not.  Z.

I exalt nothing but the gift in me.

What’s the American dream without peace to sleep, peace to think and

peace to bring a piece of mind?

You were gossiping a great sum when you thought I lost my mind.

I pull something positive now you’ve turned into a mime.

Where’s my extra, extra, read all about it!  Zorina flip the script and

she’s back on top it’s

scripture, remember?

The last is the first and the first is the last.

In between is just broken glass as

I proceed realizing we should all take heed to

fear no evil.  This isn’t a sequel or trilogy.

Greater is He living in me.

Feel me or turn your back and close your eyes.

Convince yourself that I won’t arise.

I am the sun, I’ll always shine.

Over dark clouds and shouting loud.

I’ll shine because I’m The Lord’s and The Lord is mine.

Even if you don’t see me I’m in a different zone.  You

babble on cause you don’t see me and hear rumors on me

Z.  Zorina.  Exie.  Will always shine!

Perhaps you can’t see because

from my light,

you’re blind.
