This is for the haters
Who claim to be supporters
Cheering for you
While harshly judging you
They claim to be critics
As they break your spirit
Not realizing the damage
Their words have managed
Rattling your insecurity
Increasing your anxiety
Setting you on edge
As you wonder, Am I worthy of the stage
Now you have a creative block
Some sort of Mental block
You’ve Lost the creativity
Now you are Doubting your ability
All you want to do is express yourself
Work on your art and improve yourself
You may not be as good as one of the greats
But one day you might be great
You are hearing voices
Hey you wannabe
You ain’t got what it takes to be
The next Jay Z
Stage 2 setting in
As you close yourself in
Trying to isolate
Before it’s to late
Are youLosing your mind
Is this what happens to your kind
It’s a slippery slope
You ain’t got a rope
Which will pull you up
To help you stand up
To boost your self esteem
So you can get that personal win
Looking for inspiration
some sort of motivation
To help this blow to your emotion
To remind you, that you are worthy for all your dedication
You need to look in the mirror and tell yourself
You don’t need validation
To keep doing your creation
To please anyone
Cause you got close friends and family to look up to
Your biggest supporters
When your fail
Your biggest supporters
When you rise
Cause they don’t laugh or put you down
When you try
Maybe it’s to much to ask
For them to believe in you
Take away from their precious time
To support you
Or are they waiting
For you to blow up
So they can show up
With a sign, your number one fan
Since day one!
Your not angry just frustrated
That hard work is not appreciated
To show some decency
Towards a man trying to live up to his ability
All yo want to do is make them proud
For they have always been around
All you want is them to applaud
For all your efforts out loud.

It’s a reflective period
During this quarantine period
Regarding my character and behavior
On topics of sensitivity and candor
Not taken seriously
Is the image currently
Fueled by actions and moments
Of complete embarrassments.
Firstly I must apologize
As I do realize
I play a part, small or big
When being an absolute prick
I’m partly to blame
Assuming it’s fun and games
Using words not thinking
Whose hurting
Words are dangerous
They cut deeper
Then a knife through butter
Not realizing the person in front will suffer
Due to lack of common sense and character
We forget to be mindful for the simple things
Humility, generosity, kindness among other things
Quick to judge a book by its cover
Not take the time to read the first page
Cause the first impression is what matters
Maybe it’s the kid in me
Or the lack of maturity
Tarnishi ng my personality
Trying to be goofy
We are all guilty of this
Not realizing that actions have consequences
Inflicting stress on mans mental state
Setting him up for depression
A life time state
Bullying is a real thing
Social media ain’t playing
It’s a fun way to connect
But socially there is a disconnect
People ganging up on an individuals
Not realizing they are being cynical
Are We trying to climb a social chain
While acting like a complete pain
Towards those who love us
But respect us to much to tell us
Time to step back and reevaluate
Before it’s to late
reflect and be straight
Before people start to hate
The attitude
And tell us, stay away Dude.
We live in a world full of sensitivity
As education and technology
Advance beyond our capability
We must think before we speak
Even though the first amendment states freedom of speech
But there should be a disclaimer
Read the room and social cues
Before you speak
It’s not too late to act your age
Apply knowledge
And move past days of college
Use your maturity and sensibility
Because we are part of a community

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
Beautiful, strong and pure
Don’t let the world bring you down based on
Your gender, race, faith, sexual orientation
Or your political affiliation
You’re unique one of kind
With a strong conscious mind
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us
Your kindness brings people together
When things don’t seem to be clear
Because it’s in your nature
To love, an emotion
That feels the heart with joy
But also great sorrow
When you lose someone dear making you hollow
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Stand in front of the mirror
See the reflection of a conqueror
One who has won battles of discrimination
Stood up to oppression
Sided truth during adversity
With every fiber of your ability
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God
You playing small
Does not serve the world
It only makes the hateful stronger
Because they have the power
To inflict pain
Cause you took the back seat again
Which is a shame
There is no one to blame
But you, for not standing up when we counted on you
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you
Your vulnerability is the essence of your humanity
Having the fear of failure
Makes you rise higher
Speak up for those that matter
That is the strength of your vulnerability
A strong asset of your personality
We were all meant to shine as children do
Full of life and happiness
Filled with curiosity and bravery
As well as innocence and creativity
Being an inspiration to a nation
Following our emotions
Cause we were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us
It’s not just in some of us
It’s in everyone
And as we let our own light shine
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same
Because at the end of the day we may be different but we are still the same
Burning inside with a flame
To make the world a better place
At a continued pace
Together, as we are liberated from our own fear
Our presences automatically liberates others.

The simple philosophies
Make the mind question our realities
Affecting our ideology
Disrupting a well crafted human methodology
Questions upon questions
About the simple things like happiness
Until a scholar decides to add some flair to his craziness
And ask you about meaningfulness
He goes, son are you happy
If so, why do need to indulge in materialistic things to make you happy
Does it give you satisfaction
A rare moment of jubilation
A smile to last you a few seconds
Until you’re of to something new within seconds
Does it give meaning to your life
This new found happiness
As you share on Facebook to show the world
Your trending awesomeness
Is it the likes, the retweets or mentions
That lift you on a pedestal
To elevate your emotion
That’s make you happy
But really you’re just empty
Is being happy searching for validation
In a new generation of interactions
Chatting, snap chatting
Gathering momentum virtually
But you struggling personally
Is that giving your life meaning
Or are you another mannequin in the making?
Putting on a smile, creating a facade
So ask yourself this question
Is happiness the same as meaningfulness
If you were to give up all things material
Would your life still have meaning
Standing under a clear sky
With a slight breeze
Feeling free no more compromise
Your counter argument
To this predicament
I have family and friends
To make me happy
To give me meaning
They are always there supporting
Lifting me up when I am drowning
My life line through thick and thin
My protective armor on my skin
There is no disputing
A life worth living
Happiness is not the same as a sense of meaning.
How do we go about finding a meaningful life, not just a happy one
Is it the warmth of the sun
Or having all your hearts desires
This is a cross road
Its very odd
In one hand you have everything
In another nothing
So what is the real meaning
Of being happy
A philosophers riddle
Which has left right you in the middle.

Ever sit and wonder
About life and ponder
What am doing here
Watching people do it big
While seated on the couch, Will I ever make it big
That’s the dilemma
Am I in the right career
1 to 2 shifts, 40 hour weeks
Sometimes overtime
All that hard work
So that we can enjoy societies few perks.
Growing up you were told
Go to school get an education
If you use the right determination
You will beat the competition
So you stayed up, studied hard
Cause that was your golden ticket
to go abroad
The best universities
One step closer to financial securities.
Has it been worth it
Let’s weigh the pros and cons of it
A nice house, a nice car
Social gatherings and vacations
deserved for your relentless ambition
What more can you ask for?
Let’s see, bills and debt
For your luxury corvette
To impress a Brunette
Maintaining an expensive lifestyle
Now your a modern day slave not to a human
But to power, money and the corporate lifestyle
Now you start to think
Is this how I want my life to be
Will I ever be free of this corporate greed
Or will I have to wait till retirement
To enjoy my desires and
Be left with a bit of regret
I did not take that risk, the chance
I wish I had a second chance
That’s not the case, your still on your couch
Day dreaming of a future with so many
Unanswered questions
The truth is, you know the answers to those questions
But your scared to let go, cause failure is not an option at this stage
Of your age
Your happy with what you’ve accomplished
It’s comfortable and it’s your normal
Why would you stop now to try something different
You know it’s difficult
To start again from scratch
Invest your cash
Because you pondered
And wondered
Will I ever make it big

Every moment is a memory
Happy sad full of harmony
Songs of old, songs of new
Expressions that grew
Hopes and aspirations
Driven by perfection
The very reason
That drives my creation
I’m a dreamer
Born certified believer
Hard work and talent
Are Gods present
Will power and drive
Set in over drive
keys to my ambition
are in my hands to take flight
It’s a strong mind set, thats right
I must take this opportunity
Take control of my ability
Surrounded by greats
From Van goh to Gates
Oozing with inspiration
Fuel for my motivation
Rise to the top
When the beat drops
Wait for the base
It will set the pace
For every hurdle
You about to beat
No matter the heat
Ain’t about fame
Its a game
Win or lose
It’s all the same
I got bars
I set bars
Sky the limit
No one can stop my limit
It’s okay to be afraid
The best have said
You’ll fall and stumble
That’ll make you strong and humble
I must Learn to put aside my pride
Walk the path of humility
Shelve my ego
To elevate my dignity
Respect and attitude
Increase my aptitude
To a long road of knowledge
Built on courage
Do not give up
Look up
Keep living the dream
Let it scream
I’m the best
From the rest
These moments
Create movements
Drive and passion
The perfect combination
The world should hear
I am here
Waiting to takecenter stage
Turn of a new page
Written in the stars
Some call it fate, some call it destiny
Some even call it luck
Its a bit of all plus a hint of integrity
I am ready
To stamp my authority
An artist built by virtue
Truth and compassion
That is a the perfect recognition

What is history?
Is it the past
That collects dust,
In hidden pages of books
Till ones curiosity is peaked
To uncover the truth
Or the interpretation of what they believe to be the truth
What is history?
Is it a story
A recollection of memory
Of events that happened a few seconds, minutes or hours ago
To relive moments forgotten
To bring back joy or sadness from years or days ago
Or a date on the calendar
To celebrate an occasion that matters
Making it important
So that we feel significant
What is history?
Is it facts or fiction
Based on a man or woman’s recollection
Of events under observation
To be scribes for the future generations
Do we believe the documentations to be right
Or take it with a grain of salt assuming that men of past saw right
Do we believe their was no bias
The words spoken are a true collection of events and not an alliance
To make a few look powerful while others looks weak
What is history?
Is it rules and regulations
Without which the world would be in chaos
Already a cause 6 billion years ago
At least that’s what has been told to maintain order
So we don’t end up as fossils deep below
Which the human race follow now without any hesitation
Politicians quoting Kings and emperors of old, emulating their ambition
To keep the powerful rich and the poor, poor
Cause of some laws written sometime in the past
Which now society follows like a binding contract
What is history?
Is it religion
The stories in scriptures
Taught by scholars
Depending on your region
To believe in a higher power
That all humans have in common
But approach it different
Challenging your belief by questioning your faith
Cause a scholar said their is only one and the rest are fake
Said confidentially
As though it’s a fact that no one can attack
Leaving us divided but similar
Cause we are all believers
So what is History?
I believe it is what you want it to be
A story from your memory
A lesson from the past
Or rules for the future forecast
What every you choose it to be
It will be a portfolio for many to see
So in a nutshell, I believe history is the essence of life fully lived.

What’s your name
It don’t matter you ain’t got fame
Societies response to a nobody
So get your ass up and be a somebody
Ain’t no time to be a bum and let shit drop in your laps,
Running incomplete laps
While the rest are preparing for sprints
For a prize,
Which you’ll idolize
You must be thinking
What’s this Kat thinking
All up my business, personal space and bubble
Looking for trouble
See I ain’t here to give you a lecture
On how to be the next great rapper
I’m here to get you thinking
On future you’ll be missing
See I had my fair share of procrastinating
Day dreaming and contemplating
Of the things that could be
If I applied my talent where it needed to be
It’s the same mistakes
That everybody makes
Thinking they have time, sitting idol
Imagining themselves on American Idol
Don’t base your success on likes and shares
Those are illusions to make you care
Thinking you the next
fresh prince of belle air
Success and failures come and go
They don’t define you
Rather build you
For how far you’ll go
Everyone’s got a hustle
Who can put something on the table
But it’s really about determination
Who can move mountains with their ambition
If your motivation is money
You’ve lost half the battle buddy
Money will buy you popularity
But it will suck you dry of integrity
Ask yourself a question
How you going to impact the next generation
A one time hit on social media and a forgotten name
Or in the books for hall of fame
Now you wondering why am I pushing?
Cause you have something special brewing
Look in the mirror, You’ll see greatness
A man destined for success
Look you got two choices
Sit on your bum and tell stories
Or apply yourself, hard work and talent
Take center stage and be today’s talent
It’s free advise
Take or leave it
No body holding you at gun point
To accept it
Just remember it’s in your hands
Where you land
On the streets and wondering what if
Or up in Beverly Hills
Releasing the next hit!
Today is tomorrow’s past
What you do now, will last
It’s not about writing history
It’s about writing a perfect story
It's 2020, a year of progression
But it feels like we’re in recession,
People wondering where it went wrong
2008 is far gone,
Men still hanging on hope
Preached by Obama, dope.
Its the same story
Governments bask in their glory,
All pathetic lies
Media fooling our eyes,
Stuck in this trance
Blinded by ignorance.
I know a man called John Doe,
Hates to associate with any status quo.
Looks out the window at people fighting,
Fueling, the media’s ratings.
White, black, brown it don't matter
As long as it's change, it's better
The rich spilling money thinking it's a game,
While the middle class waiting to make a name.
Keep telling yourself
You're on the right side
Where in fact you're just here for the ride.
Making noise, he's not my president
Now you're stuck like a non immigrant,
Walking around with signs protesting
shouting on top of your lungs resisting,
If thats all it takes to change a world
Don’t you think we would be free of war and drugs.
Stars, stripes, red and blue are not just shapes and colors to you
It's sweat and blood of millions before you.
Take a moment and realize an opportunity
To stand together and get rid of bigotry,
We are evolved from just right or left wing
We are a conscious being.
Let's put a side our differences,
What we feel deep inside to be suffering.
Let's prove the world wrong
That we are not far from gone
08 may be in the past,
But the future is what we cast.
We are one nation,
filled with love, gratitude and emotion.
Not divided but united
ready to be lifted
By the anthem so strongly we listen.
A strong reminder in any season
Its the United States of America.
From New York to California.
