Vibrant like the shades of fire,
Desires have my head in the clouds,
I'm in my sky car traveling,
Passing time,
Building with words,
Writing skylines,
A young sun on the rise,
The ozone cries prisms,
My ism is my rhymes,
My crime is not looking up more,
Each hour is another chance to tower,
Thoughts soar,
My dreams swim in an ocean of sights,
Flight brings me appreciation to the palette of life,
My, my the pictures we paint,
We march with saints,
That splatter judgements on our canvas,
Our will controls the damage,
Times get hard but we manage,
Than take off again,
Explore space,
Refusing to gallop in place,
Our legs have wings,
My heart has a microphone,
My soul begs me to sing,
My off key melody finds perfection in our harmony,
There are angels in the heavens guarding me,
The sky dreams,
I Dream in spite of the nightmares,
Breathe the night air,
Find relief in the mornings,
Spread my wings over the city,
Look Ma,
I'm soaring..."

"While You knocking down doors, folks will knock You and Yours. Don't empower, just ignore, and continue to find the freedom to explore." J. Ivy

Strokes of genius will be determined by the cause of our effects. What's the reach of your embrace? When your face is no longer remembered what will you look like? Who will you live thru? What kind of love will your beauty mark? We're questioned by questions that are answered by the decisions we make. The drive of our passion. The courage to see it thru. The purpose that we live out in every moment. Pieces of this grand collage. This work of art called life. This blink of an eye. This chance to soul search for our souls. Our spirits yearn for more. So we learn more every single day. Make great strides. Battle the hate that waits around sharp corners. Hang our pride on the joy we find. We cry on the inside. Laugh out loud. Scream our power. Strike like lighting. Roll like thunder. Find our freedoms. Fall in love with freedom. Never let it go. Always let it show because you have nothing to hide. I have nothing to hide. You can't take the heart inside. You can't hurt the one on my sleeve. History is made when we burn our mask. When we crush the shackles pacified by guilt. When we remember who we are. When we find our stars and become one. Shining bright for the universe to see. This world will remember we." **J. Ivy**

It was just what music and Hip-Hop needed. Musically and lyrically it was right on time. When I got the call from @CoodieRock about potentially being on the album (*#NeverLetMeDown*) I took my shot. That shot became a reality, another great step in my walk, and Poets around the world celebrated with me. To see the love that was returned from that moment has been unprecedented. I thank you all for listening and showing the love you have. I thank those who've supported and those who've hated. It was great working on *The College Dropout*. It was great becoming a Grammy Winning Artists, but more importantly is was great to be a part of a something that had such a positive impact on so many lives. With that said, cheers to 10 Years. Let this light be a reminder to make your history. LOVE!*#DreamsDontComeTrueTheyAreTrue*

Do what's fun! Poetry is my playground. I swing thru this jungled gym, sink in the sand box, build blocks, letting my words see what I saw. #LinesOnMyMind #DigginInThePapes
