Before you speak, make sure your words are well-crafted and meaningful. Don’t follow those who preach without understanding, as their insights are borrowed and lack depth. Stand firm in your truth, even if it means going against the crowd. Embrace your flaws and let your experiences shape you. Fight with wisdom and inner strength, and let your voice shine brightly.
Before you read — learn how to write
You talk in tongues but the letters ain’t right
Before you preach — sharpen your light
Knowledge hits harder when the lines are tight.
shut your ears for the prophets who can’t read what they write —
They cast shadows but they’re scared of the night,
They sell visions that collapse on sight,
Building temples out of borrowed insight.
If you speak truth, then stand upright,
Don’t bend your spine just to sound polite,
Don’t dim your flame for a crowd’s delight,
Real wisdom hums at a different height.
Ink your name with a soul that’s bright,
Let your flaws breathe, let your wounds ignite,
Turn your scars into maps of might,
Every fracture is a door to rewrite.
So before you rise — learn how to fight,
Not with fists but with inner sight,
Hold your ground when the winds incite,
And let your voice be a blade of light.
