Its for me, myself, my life/ my perspective/
for the need of expression/ for the life lessons/
for the hard questions/ when no one was hearing it/
For my embarrassment of America's arrogance/
It's for the homeless/ trailer trash and lower class/
The college grads/ republicans and the democrats/
transients/ nay Sayers/ and the vagabonds/
For the wisdom I found when they let me tag along/
For the bandwagons/ the outcast/ and the has-beens/
It's for wise words to out last and understand them/
It's for that half smile/the frown or last tear/
And it for the last mile/ I hoped too of finished last year/
Its my opinion I followed when no one couldn’t swallow it/
Its my heart beat/ my religion/ and its my politics/
And its my write of passage/ I earned from the start/
I cut off my hands and write straight from the heart/


It's for those starving artist/ wallflowers black sheep/
It's for the napkins I write on when I lack sleep/
It those tattered notebooks/ and pens with black ink/
Its life forcing music to take a back seat/
It’s for the broken doctrine/ It’s the letters with dear johns/
Its for the hope in the hardships/ that seem to last all year long/
Its for the family of the military/ and the fallen soldiers/
Its for those who still fight let’s call them all homeward/
It's for the journey the struggle/ the times when you stumble/
It's my own rebuttal it's for all the things that we juggle/
its for the introverts and it’s for the silver spoons/
its the purpose of artist/its for life’s bitter tune/
its for the blue collared workers/its for the facades/
for the tear jerkers/ its the way I worship my god/
It fear of love and its my tears of blood left on the paper/
Its how I romance my music when others will rape her/


I WRITE to bring my art/ to speak my heart/
Give me a pen and pad and I’ll leave my mark/
I WRITE to speak my mind/ to seek and find/
Give me a mic and I’ll keep the dreams alive/
I WRITE to teach the lesson/ keep em guessing
Give me a soapbox and I’ll bring perspective/
I WRITE to change a life/ with strength to fight/
To lead a revolution with the words that we write/ X2
