hi everybody doing this is awesome my

name is James came or jr. I go by the

name with poetically I’m gifted i’m the

author of life’s testimony and poetry

and i’m also the found of poetically I’m

gifted being and my motto is you seen

felt and heard around the world I want

to share my gift with you I just forming

them out to do is called i right tears

got it in my eyes from the dust of the

boots of those where thought that they

had left me behind there’s a bitter

taste of mud as the tears on my face and

that dust begins to grind the tools are

holding my hand they somehow become a

part of me as I was passed in a day but

while I’m talking two minutes and

seconds count as I put in work with

never a thought of receiving any pain

but while digging and grinding dividing

and separating taking things apart and

putting some things back together it all

seems the same no matter how I look at

it in fact I’m wondering is there ever

enough sweat being shed enough blood

being bled enough bodies laid low enough

dead being dead enough sheep being led

enough people without beds with open

mouths and empty stomachs never to be

fair enough said you see I find myself

tools in hand working not for money just

love crying and praying praying and

crying for things to get better just

because there’s a crack of a whip and

pain in my back as my master knows that

I’ve gone astray but that’s just telling

me telling myself to move faster while

trying to carry the load of my people

and at the same time feeling it I feel

that I felt God in this way but with a

pen and pad in hand as you walked away I

right all my knees praying for salvation

alright

I look forward to my pass through

temptations i right I fight

contemplation and damnation but yet all

right but I’m wrong when I write if it’s

not done right at my plate is in plain

sight and I might not have the mic

tonight yet i right and there’s water

gathers in my eyes from the dust off the

words that leaves me there’s no thoughts

of being left behind because those words

are what has conceived me in that bitter

taste and my mouth comes from those who

doesn’t believe me with those tools in

my hand I’ll tall in the sand for the

few who has received me thank you [Applause]
