"Who Am I?"

Again another spoken word poem before I go to bed tonight:

Who am I? To stand with the mightiest of men?

Better yet who am I to stand with the conquer of sin?

Me? I am not to do either nor can I stand against

for man who is of nothing more or less the same as me

push me down because of pride no lie

and standing against the Lord homie thats been done and failed yes you could say epically

If I ever caught myself doin such a thing I would instantly get to steppin

Na, so Who am I in my own self

I am a person who has felt pain that no child should face but one of many who do

I am a person who recognizes that I deal with an empty pride

a non existent pride if you will

a will whom to myself is strong as a Lion, but around others is as gentle and shy as a lamb

yes I know this referring to Jesus the Son of Man

but man, when you have gone through your entire life not knowing what to say if anything at all

How can I truly say what Jesus wants me to. To answer His call

I do not go outside my own dorm room and tell people about Jesus

yet on Twitter and Facebook I say it all the time

I want to be a tool to make music and to compose rhymes

but can I even do what Jesus wants me to do full time?

So who am I to say that I am a Christian rapper or even in reality a Christian?

Now I am not saying that I have not accepted Christ that would contradict

what the true point is of this script. No I am saying that I am failing on more levels than just spiritual

I find faults in myself that I'd only admit lyrically

Who am I to suggest to people what they should do if I can't care for numero uno?

I know a lot of you will hear or read this and say "Richie what do you know?"

I know that who I am is not the same as I was back in the 04

I do know that Jesus loves me and He loves you to no matter where you've been before

So who am I to you? hmm...thats a serious inquiry that makes me wonder what responses Ill get from my crew

My la familia. Gloria a Dios homie that I can even be blessed with one who prior to 06 didn't even know me

So who am I bro? Am I this wanna be Christian? Cuz if I am I think you are missin the point

Deep down in my heart I don't care about money. I said it before I'm poor and needy not rich and greedy get that greeny away from me you silly

I've been told that I can't preach because I'm not a pastor

Jesus was a carpenter homie didn't even go to college yet to teach about him you have to take a class for it?

But again...who am I? Who am I to teach what Jesus taught?

It's mind blowing enough that my sins were bought

at the cost of blood of a clean man who did not sin not once

Are you gettin all my puns? my play on words?

cuz if you are than word. Cuz some of em I might not see

So for now I'm not going to ask Who am I? I'm a ask "Who is Me?

or better yet "Who I Am?" a question that normally is incomplete

but one that doesn't need an "is" to make it repeat itself

For it shouldn't be who am I but who I Am for that is the One who works in me

Yep..leaving y'all on a cliffhanger lol. But I do hope you enjoyed that.

Now I'm off for bed because I got class in the morning. Peace!
