Right There

Right There

I’ve learned to savor the good times in day to day tragedy
And each step is a start to a never ending story
Each day is a page, chaptered by age
Time is mission
Each tick is a decision
Every tock is sign that yes, I’m still living
On a watch where experience is a notch
In a cipher on the block
And my heart is the beat
And it don’t stop and it don’t quit
And like The Roots use to say “We Are The Ultimate”
So I’ma get my 40 Acres and a Mule
And if I was a graffiti artist
It’ll be my 40 trains and a Muse
Either way
This written writer is riding
Life’s roller coaster screaming to go higher
And you and I know, every goal has a fuse
And action is the fire
And it was that active intellect
That got me out the projects
Of South Jamaica Queens with not one regret
So, I’ll be back to collect my Moms from Linden & Merrick
Even though
I’d rather Do It
Than Say It
Rather
Conceive It,
Plan It,
Execute It
And then Convey It
But sometimes life is a shot in the dark
So I’ma shoot a flare
And when opportunity shows it face
I’ll Be Standing Right There
