Timmie Go get it!!
It is very important for me to reach people through my poetry and art, but to also profess my faith in Christ and witness to them. I was brought to the Lord this way, and it feels right for me to do it in this manner... so Please continue to follow, watch or even learn from me as I
I was listening to these ladies a few weeks ago "Mary,Mary, and they sang this song
I wrote some of my thoughts from that song which inspired me...This is one of the pieces from that Journal
It's called Timmie Go get it....Besides timmie being an old nickname...it also means...
T-houghts
I-n
M-y
M-ind
I-nspiring &
E-levating
Listen up!
Elevation to celebration-I’m about that der
And you haters trying to put the blind on my grind
I still shine, you understand that there?
Don’t test Dubbs patience….it aint gon be good for you
I put that on everything I own.
Tim’s been around for a minute- but Dubb-U is how I’m known.
It aint much y'all gon tell me, that my grandma
ain't already said-
I put it all in words and pictures, trying to teach & at the same time earn my bread.
The things she hipped me to, there was not one thing wrong
And those that know of my work
Know that I always come strong.
So you haters……..keep on-keeping on,
trying to block my shine with your shade-
realize this though
if God did not want me to shine with this gift to uplift
this one of a kind mode-l
he would not have made
feel me?
It’s like I’m looking through these lenses to see where I’m supposed to be
Growing stronger, aspiring to new heights
I’m not anything like the person, as you may have remembered me.
Looking back is cool, but this is a new day and a new T
If you did not know- you gon soon see,
Teaching, stressing positivity & engaging consciousness.
Can’t stop my hustle
Don’t trip on the things I've been through, cause those things helped build my muscle
My faith…Yes y’all it ain't small, it is though what has brought me this far
See I got big dreams, and I say big prayers, and I got a big God and he, like the staple singers said
"I'll Take you there"
See everyone has a season, and I know this one is mine
Cause I been working, and waiting and this is what I been praying for
And I’m gon go get it, go get it........ get my shine on
I’m getting it, getting it, getting it, I’m getting my blessing...
Listen up y’all
It’s my time, it’s my time, it’s my time-
I strive to live the good life and help others achieve
I'm too busy recognizing the blessing to be stressing
Straight up...
That’s what I practice and believe,
I I hit the floor and get on them knees
Thanking Christ for allowing me to see the forest through the trees.
Listen…It’s cool to crawl before you walk
And aint no trippin if you walk before you run
But the truth is
You have to step out on and with faith----to do things you have never done
I’m speaking from the classroom of life
Meaning that the things we face- we have to go through
The lessons are taught daily, but the question is........
What type of student are you?
Like Johnny Taylor said
“I aint scared to testify” I can’t deny that God has truly blessed me.
I was birthed with sight, but did not have vision till recently
The mercy he has supplied me with has multiplied
And my love for my God can’t be denied
For me
It’s official
I’m getting it, I’m getting it, I’m getting it, I’m getting my blessing
Listen up y’all it’s my time, it’s my time
It's what?
It’s Dubbs time

A man of Change.....CERTIFIED. HUMAN. ASCENDING. NOVELTY. GLORIOUSLY. EVOLVING.
She is the resuscitation
That I needed
When my belief in true love
Was going into cardiac arrest...
And it had nothing to do
With sex
But it was more about her
Cerebral caress...
She's always a lady but
More than a woman
I confess....
And she did it all
Without dropping the ball
Using her spiritual finesse...
Lust exists in the flesh
But love comes
From within the spirit
So I choose to touch
Her mind, body and soul
Where most men
Remain incoherent...
But true love is stellar
And I didn't even have to tell her
Because if love is a house
I intend to go
From the attic to the cellar
She even finishes my sentences
With remnants of greatness
She go hard about God
And I know that
I will never forsake it...
We let our minds be free
But it's only our dreams
That return naked...
So dirty minds
Will never find time
To take this mental bread
To the head
...and break it
She distances
Herself from false witnesses
And the difference is
She knows what
A gift this is...
But the true magic
Is the way that
We settle our differences...
And if love is a crime
I hope my sentence is...
Life without parole
She touches my soul
The definition and description
Of two halves made whole...
X-X-O
Text messages go
From her sweet lips
To her fingertips
Whoa...
Nice and slow
We let the scriptures roll
And you can bet that I know God
It's all in my flow
Because the devil is deceivin'
And seeing ain't always believin'
But with God in our lives
There's no such thing
As underachievin'
And I don't need a reason
To put God first
I don't need false prophets
To quench my thirst
No need to rehearse
I keep it 100% sincere
As I whisper these scriptures
...in her ear
No doubt, no fear,
No pain, no strife
When you keep a woman of God
...in your life
And I don't need a mic
Or 95 likes
10,000 fans
An audience clappin' they hands
My 6 foot wing span
Allows me to soar
With the eagles
Or follow the path of
The Jonathan Livingston Seagull's
It's all good, no evil
And with all God's might
Before I snooze or lose
I choose to step
Into the light
And studying different religions
Only gets you confused
No need to dodge the cops
...don't have to watch fox news
To understand Gods views
I'm already a believer
And fortune and fame
I don't need either
Because Jesus was a carpenter
And I'm merely a word weaver
And we choose to remain friends
So I will never have to leave her

Goodness
Hmnnn..With all the tribulations going on in the world right now, Isis, the ebola epidemic, police brutality etc......It is heartwarming to see and share something like this.....
If you do not know the story, here is a segment from the News....Monday, October 06, 2014
Even though the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the New England Patriots 43-17 on Sunday night's NFL game, Devon Still had a huge personal victory with the help of the Patriots' cheerleading squad.
Still, 25, has been making headlines over the past few months after the Cincinnati Bengals added the tackle to their practice squad, enabling the player to still get health insurance to take care of his four-year-old daughter's cancer treatment. Bengals and NFL fans have been incredibly supportive of Still's daughter's struggle, and now the New England Patriots' cheerleading squad showed their support by donning jerseys of the Bengals' player in Sunday's game.
Still was incredibly appreciative of the gesture, as this image captured by a Twitter user showed the player with gracious tear streaming down his cheek.

A few months ago we shared & celebrated our Black History month, and shortly after that we celebrated Black music month, and today-Well today I am just gonna speak on being Black, not African American,Negroe, or colored...I mean Black see as I was growing up, we went through those different stages and Black ( ha ha) was where it was at- I digress.
Black is the most misunderstood color. A black tie dinner is very formal and elegant. Women can wear that "must have little black dress" to the black tie dinner. Yet the bad guys wear black hats. Black symbolizes death in some cultures. Native Americans thought black was good because it was the color of soil, which gives life.
Yet I have come to notice in recent years that we as a people are falling back into a trap that should have been gone forty or fifty years ago.
We as a people have been called many things: we have been called Negro, African, Colored, Black and now African American. But let’s keep it real. I feel that you are reading the words, but you are not feeling me. Are you feeling me?Well allright then!
The only time we refer to ourselves as African American is when we are writing a paper for call or putting something in the newspaper for the most part we call ourselves Black. Use of the term “black” dates to the 1960s and 1970s and the civil rights movement. The Black Power movement advocated strongly for the use of “black” to replace the outdated “negro,” and many Americans of African ancestry started to embrace the term. Others preferred “Afro American,” an early blending of “African” and “American.” In the 1980s, “African American” began to see common
usage, and the term quickly became very popular. But Most People I Know Still use Black.

Lord Help Me
LORD HELP ME
Lord help me
Because today…I am on my way to my purpose
and it is there that I will discover the capacity in which I intend to serve
But I got to be mindful of every detail of my journey
because clues are hidden along the way
Lord help me
because I have to take note of all my slips and falls
my bruised knees cuts and scrapes
the lessons I learned and the the traps I escaped
Lord help me
Help me to be aware of the wolves in sheep’s clothing
and to not judge people by my perceptions of self
help me lord..help me to be more patient, help me to be more kind
help me to not think of myself as wise cause I finally realize that
this is when we are most blind
I know I have to realize that the discovery is in the journey itself
Not the destination I seek.
I learned a long time ago
to let go of the anger and rage
Those thangs only held me captive and hindered my walk
as if I was in a cage
Lord Help Me

A Gospel Mix
There has been much debate over Christian rap. I am a stern supporter of it. My personal beliefs are that if this genre brings you a higher level of conscious then great. There are those that profess that these men and women are just pimping the system. I agree that in all areas you have the wolf in sheep clothing from the pastor to the deacon. These people will have to account for their misrepresentation.
I could go on but I want to get my Christian groove on...if you with me then check out this brother bringing a new style of music to the community. Open up your minds, hearts and ears..
