"No longer having your brother willing to die for you, only demons waiting to dance with you!" Powerful : )

[rymcmanus]

[juliettev1]

chills every time. EVERY TIME. this is insanity. love this so much.

[breee1919]

Hit the spot. She's the best.... <3

[michaeldasikeo]

@x3Kaya she's saying she doesn't under stand how he feels tough wearing his black and red (because he's a blood) when his body is covered with black and blues (bruses and bumps from being beat up and blue is a crip color which is the rival gang)

[ehugurl113]

you are so amazingggggg

[x3Kaya]

could you explain to me what she's meaning with all those colours?

"And sometimes I feel you may be colorblind

Because I don’t understand how you see strength in your

Blacks and reds

When you got blacks and blues tattooed all over you so tell me

What set do you belong to when your lips are saying soowoo

And your eyes are swimming in Crip colored kisses mixed with hints of black lipstick"

[x3Kaya]

--> "Because that’s what they all are

Cowards who hide behind colors

Blue and Red type brothers who leave their sisters"

[missMONEEEY]

@x3Kaya i wish i heard what she said after black lipstick :/

[ayeeetim]

"attempting to play god and pimping mother nature will never get you high enough to get there." omg.

[cayterr]

rest in peace john, i love and miss you...

[calstate33]

I haven't seen this in about a year n watching it again I got mad chills and remember some things this is true poetry

[fxckenSTOKED]

Back again, I haven't watched this video in a couple months...hearing it again i got goosebumps and chills all over again. I relate too much. Mad love and respect. She's so beast. <3

[NMoenoa87]

LOVE this poem but i fucking wish the audience would SHUT THE FUCK UP so I could hear the whole poem.

[neeshbish]

I loooove this poem

[JCDawghound]

No lie, I accidentally applauded in front of my computer screen. LOL...

[kiddwonderr9]

And she's bad too ? Oh yes :)

[nv88]

Courage is not the absence of fear but the mastery of it this young woman reminded me of that with this piece.

[nv88]

If only I had said half what she said to my brother, maybe then there would still be two of us to complete our twin set. If I hadn't been a coward and embraced him in an attempt to save him instead of turning my back on him like so many other did. If I had told him how much pain his was inflicting maybe he would have listen and not gone to fight that foolish fight that night and end up buried 6ft under the next morning. If only, if only...I had the courage to help him find his own...

[marine0wife]

Mad Respect! I get chicken Skin ( goose bumps) every time that I watch this. This really hit e in my heart, God Bless!

[MangoFlavoured]

I honestly cry every time I watch this video.

[XRENX123]

I am speechless, incredible thats all I got to say. Almost made me cry.

[FirstLineRhyme]

For all those times that you pushed me from the doorway

Just to kiss the sunset with your piff

I prayed for your protection

Prayed that you’d never forget Mami and Daddy’s lessons

And how my love for you would never lessen

And I prayed that a bullet would never befriend your skin, I prayed

That someday you’ll understand that being a brave street soldier in the dark

Still made you a coward come sunrise

[lilTiadarealest]

I freaking love her(no homo), her poetry speaks loud and clearly I have mad respect for this chick that I don't even know!!!!
