Hasan Johnson 1980 (Peoria Illinois)



Add diabetes and high blood pressure to the struggle
Lack of communication
Come on God
I’m still moving forward
I’m out the boat
I’m walking on water
My eyes on the prize
With all these attacks it’s like somebody lying
It can’t be you!
I’m paranoid
I can’t sleep
I’m depressed I can’t eat
I’m tired and restless
I’m the shepherd and the sheep
I’m beauty and the beast
I’m strong and weak
I’m trying to survive in these streets
With no help
Mouth dry
Back hurt
Head beginning to spin
I’m always wondering when I’m going to win
They reject me they hate me they shame my name
I serve them and try to love them and it feels me with pain
Vengeance is not mine!
I have to forgive and forget
