Rhymes While Doing Time

Have you ever been lied on? How powerful can one lie be? Better question, why you? What is it about you that made someone choose to lie on you out of everyone they could have picked?

It seems like all I do is have time.... Time to reminisce as I playback every possible scenario that could've possibly caused this outcome. I have been lied on and that one lie was powerful enough to strip me of my cherished freedom and brand or shall say curse me with an inmate ID number.

Born, raised, and 4EVA loyal to the SWATS (Atlanta, Ben Hill, Zone 4, Campbellton Road) I dedicated my life to show the world that where you are from does not define where you can go. I've demonstrated that an African American male from the hood can smoke spliffs with the common people but also is capable of joining forces with city, state, and national leaders and well respected members of the music industry. I've devoted my life's work to prevent others from being doomed to the unseen fate that I'm currently living. The prison lifestyle.

This book is composed of poems that gives readers insight of my journey in Fulton County Jail a.k.a Rice Street (rated one of the worst jails in the country). From war stories, religious acceptance, uplifting words, and pain portraits painted with words; these poems are filled with descriptive details.

My body might be imprisoned forcefully but my mind shall remain free. Inshallah/ If God is willing.

Read this with understanding... I will be vindicated! Yes, lies are powerful but the truth is dominant. There are many innocent people imprisoned because of lies. There are many stories to be shared, testimonies to be told, and covered truths to be unfolded. This is chapter one of mine.
