DONE

I tried I tried & I tried again
Yet you keep taking me for granted, so I'm at my end

Yes this is the final goodbye
No need to cry
You pulled me through dramatic fire & yes I'm still alive
I guess no need to wonder why
Hell you made me bleed & I made you cry
Even had you arrested & still couldn't say goodbye
This emotional roller coaster isn't my kind of ride

The crazy thing is I give you chance again & again
Yet you rock a chip on your shoulder like you are without sin
See this is where the story ends
& your solo mission begins

So what if a new chick came in & stole me heart??
Hell you let her, you've been fuckin up from the start

Constant lies to my face chargers to the head hell naw not me
Can't believe I let myself fall to that degree

I guess this is what happens when lust crashes with love
Cause I've had both & you were none of thee above

So there yo have it, you've lost, I'm gone & that's that
I promise when I write I'm gone there is no looking back

So cherish what I gave you even the trip we had recent
Cause your no good for me nor I for you, & its not a secret

-Darrin Elliot

BLESSED

Blessed to say the least
God just gave me one hell of a week
& no my niggas had nothing to do with smashing cheeks

Actually he's showing me to not give up on this film dream
Cause every time I feel down he just pumps me more steam

& see that's the crazy thing.

See when it comes to Darrin Elliot I just look at it like this
None of you can tell me how to finesse Gods Gift

See my writings my work is all that I maintain
I even been told that I have talent spilling from my veins
& no. I don't take these compliments in vein
I just continue to work on what remains

The dream, the gift, the goal, the desire
The audacity to believe I can start my own empire
I guess its because whenever I speak to God he says "Climb higher"

So yes this week as for my career is a beginning & a blessing
I'm just here to focus on the task & not waste his lesson

-Darrin Elliot

WHO I BE

This is what I am a G undoubtedly
Look into my eyes & I'll show you who I be
Knock my hustle until I annihilate thee

Trust me if I were you I'd be scared to
I don't think you're ready for what my generation can do
The best is here & I see its not you
Yet this is coming from a G's point of view

So allow me to do what it is that I do
Entertain the world while my talent just sores through
Yea I write screenplays poetry & act, homey I though you knew
Time to set this bitch off & cut the wire, which 1 red or blue?

Since I am a G undoubtedly ima just say whatever needs to be
So if you here or read a poem which makes you feel uneasy?
Then fuck it & blame it on my G
See
I'm not the one to censor myself nor hold my tounge
If you haven't heard by now I'm one of the free ones

Not held by my lame ass job focused on my career
Hell if you ask around I just got a new gig & got signed my dear

So when you get at me only continue to show love repeatedly
Because you don't want the worse ima G undoubtedly

-Darrin Elliot

QUICK QUESTION

NYC connecting flights charter from there to LA
Now that you're in my face this is serious what I gotta say
Sit down for this babe ok?

Now 6 years in since age 17 now were both 23
& since the 1st day its just been you & me
& this is probably the hardest shit I had to say baby

But honestly & most seriously will you marry me?

Now before you answer that just think about this
I can be the best husband & help you raise the best kids

You know I do my own laundry clean & I never ever shout
I give bomb foot massages plus I even blow yo back out

My mom loves you & my dad adores you
& when your Mrs. Butler I'll still hold open those doors for you

Whatever you want just say it no need to fuss & fight
The Apple of my eye & the only chick I have in my sight
See my love for you only sores to new heights
when I bring you the world you can do whatever with it you like

So think about it baby this is something that I need in my life
So far its no where complete unless you plan on being my wife

-Darrin Elliot

PLAYER SHIT

I guess this one here is on some player shit so let's hear it
Artistic flow so what I spit is what I spit period.

Charmer yes, finesses from the gate
I'm the player type who you all love to hate
While I just keep pulling numbers thinking isn't life great

This player poem is one I guess right now I need to recite
Cuz lately looks like these chicks lost sight
So I think I'l start out with my ghetto type

She's the one with all the damn drama & extra grief
Hell we even got into it with the police
Pulled a charger out & tried to take a swing
Sorry for her actions now she treats me like a king
Beautiful skinny little thing
But damn her attitude is mean
Almost left her alone to play on her own team
Now she's aiming for a ring

.....

Next we have the meanest model this side of the Mississippi
Always talking about herself & is the epitome of Sadity
Wants to be the perfect lover but only if my bank gets pretty
She leaves me for the ball players then bounces right back
She says she believes in me plus she knows I can act
I think its only cuz she want to take a red carpet lap
But hell after her performances I should give her an Emmy plaque

Then we have my baby mama drama beautiful conflicted queen
See she wants to aim higher yet simply is caught in between
Her two little joys who mean her the world
While all the while you have a child raising two little girls
She's still a beast goes out to be the best
I just hope I'm man enough to keep pushing her to the test
At the end of the war I want her to remain the last that's left

Ok now here's on of my fav's she's statistically the best ever
Shares my artistic views we're birds of the same feather
Body & face of a Goddess no need to a plastice surgeon
& would you believe that she's still a virgin?
Dominguez hills grad USC masters program
& her 3 focus besides God & school is me becoming her man
She has a vicious life game plan
But my fear is that I'm a hindrance of letting her wings expand

I then have an asrtsy farts'y neo soul love child
The afrocentric chick who always makes me smile
Loves smoking weed & keeps my mind stimulated
Always down to help me out when I'm frustrated
Only thing sometimes she gets too down with free love
Loving everybody won't trip if crib nor blood
But still she's still my little angel sent from above

I also have the secret service type let's call her Jamie Bond
Double o seven flow so she's hardly ever down to get it on
Moving up as we speak about to run the FBI
But her dad hates me so I'm left out in the dry
Yet she's still the apple of my eye
I guess to evaluate us time would have to time go by

lastly I got this one I like to call "in time"

futuristic style her only goal is to be all mine

see she is something more than a dime

to call my creole queen that would simply be a crime

I always say Ima cut her hair off all the time

but truthfully her natural crop which touches her back is simply divine

at the most she's the one who I can really & only see myself with

I mean she's always down for me so I call her my gift

so lets just be patient & see where this all shifts

....

Artistic flow take it as you want to

understand that this one isn't about you, nor you nor you nor you

this artistic shit is simply what I do.

-Darrin Elliot

FOOTBALLS FINEST

SHES AROUND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

FOREVER DARRIN

I want this shit forever
Like my name is Marshall West Drake Carter
Out of all rising poets name one whose going harder
Aspired to be the best & only determined to become smarter
Plus I'm acting too I'm just trying steal a few oscars

Yea I want this shit forever like you have no fucking clue
Just wanna buy a few houses for myself & lace my whole crew
Because they had my back y'all don't know what I been through
My own grandma & Mom's don't even see this shit through
So I support myself yea I'm walking on my own two
But hell to me its mad cool
I just polaroid the moments for when selective memory is due
Like "DJ I was always the only one to support you"
I'll just yawn & ask "ok are you through?"

While my patience sits at an all time high
I'm just now focused on the dream which lives in my eye
the undisputed newcomer who only wants to kiss the sky
Have a trio with her & dreams that never die
We don't use contraception either so only artist will multiply

& this right here is where we begin to take flight
Obtaining any goal in which comes through our dreams at night
Never afraid to give it all with unwavering amount of might
I just cock the barrel & look down the sight
Strike bullshit down like I'm in a thunder storm with a metal kite
Willing to die for this shit like I'm a pit bull in a mike vick dog fight

Yea I want this shit forever.

-Darrin Elliot

HYPER TRUTH

Sick of the mediocre shit I'm far past constant tries
Hell I'm the son of a bitch & my father spits out constant lies
I'm just letting you all know that my soul has been compromised
Yea myself, a reflection in the mirror is what I despise
So I use poetry & screen writing to help rest my eyes

See its easy to tell you that I'm stubborn & stuck in my ways
I was that little nigga on the block that constantly got played
So by now in 5/2010 I'm lifting issues twice my weight
Not complaining or making excuses I just reach for my spade
Ace in the hole while I lace up my cape

Carefully examine my mistakes cuz I know I'm not the smartest
Yet ahead of most since I surpass my best & work the hardest
See I'm going to reach for this dream regardless
Because I had a talk with God & he said "Son i made you to be an Artist"

See this is the life I choose so double up & do you
When the casket drops just hope you can say you kept it true

-Darrin Elliot

NUF SAID

G

This is what I am a G undoubtedly

Look into my eyes & I'll show you who I be

Knock my hustle, until I annihilate thee

Trust me if I were you I'd be scared to

I don't think you're ready for what my generation can do

The best is here & I see its not you

Yet this is coming from a G's point of view

-Darrin Elliot

PREMATURE PARENTING

How did 26 minuets turn into 18 years of my life?
& the crazy part is that this chick isn't even girl or my wife
But now I'm bout to damn near give my life?
Ok well let me jump into that crazy night

A cool little kick back in 04, I'm in the city of LA
Took the game of flirtation to a cutie & yea she wanted to play
We Shake to my uncles spot where we continued to parlay

& it wasn't for the fact that is was easy much rather than tipsy
Hell I was drunk too I even remember my head being a little dizzy
So of course hormones arise &
she wanted to visit chocolate city
So we do what any other person would've done, we got down & got busy

& we handled business like an accountant backed up with TAX season
She did everything right & I gave her every reason
I mean the sex was full of licking,biting hair pulling & teasing
For the 1st time of my sexual career it was actually more than pleasing

So we get down, up, left, right, sideways in other words we got it on,

When I awake in the morning I'm like where has the condom gone?

Last night was a little fuzzy & I'm sure I wasn't at my best
I roll over & see an angel at rest, damn little mama is blessed
But here's my confess take a guess at what happen next
Exactly 6 weeks later I get a "uh oh" text

"Ugh oh" has been known to result to only things bad
But I'll be damned if this "uh oh" results to me being a dad
& don't get me wrong I was more so shocked than mad
But I'm like "fuck!" In my plans of life this isn't what I had

So as a young man say ok well where do we go from "here?"
She tells me "the hospital visits are near & um what's your last name my dear?"

Damn I'm really about to have the mother of my child be a chick I hardly even know
I'm an aspiring young actor but I never auditioned for this role

So now what the hell am I to do?

I could leave it all behind me, but that's juts a deadbeat move

so i guess i have to play it cool

I went out got a job working for a jerk plus the pay is weak

so I go in every day making about 200 a week

yea that's what my high school education get me, barely enough to eat

& now I cant focus on school because I have a new life on the way

no help from pops "don't do the crime if you cant do the time" that's what he has to say

Damn did I ever see myself in this position naw no way

an 18 year old dad on my way to change diapers and buy clothes

I guess this put my dreams and career plans on hold

See those 26 minutes are what I wish I could have had back

cause lord knows I'm no where near ready to be a good Dad

-Darrin Elliot

Cuz I guess at the end of the day its just you & your baby girl

So since Sunday is mothers day be good don't tear down a club

So in conclusion let me say happy mothers day
If there is anything you need, go ahead just ask away

PREMATURE

MAJOR HOUSE FILMS Is just not ready yet. Allow me some time. Thanks.

AGELESS BEAUTY

The Legend has done it again. Yea Pam Grier just released a book titled "Foxy: My life in three acts." If you haven't seen one of the best Blaxploitation Films in "Foxy" then you need to go jump off a roof. She's that big as far as african american actresses go. This beauty burst onto the movie scene in the 70s, setting the screen on fire & forever changing the country's view of African-American actresses. Speaking very candidly, she keeps it 100 in this no-holds-barred autobiography. Here are a few shots of her rare beauty. One of a kind. -Darrin Elliot

THANK YOU (1)

Its still the beginning of my journey & I just want to take this time to say thanks. Most of you who personally know me, understand the goals I have set for myself & a handful of you have been very supportive of my aspirations. This is just to let you know that never once have I forgotten about you guys nor will I ever. You all help make me & as soon as I'm right you all will be as well.

Shouts to my Bro Mr. Nicki Staxx & all the times you told me "Fuck that mix, do you bro do you" You showed me how to stunt & how to kick that cocky shit to the wayside.

My former agent Mel Braxton, you paved the way & gave me much needed game. No matter what you will probably be the only agent who really cared about me. Thanks for starting my dream.

My We Major team. Dave, C-san, DK, K-Mak Ed, CT, Joey, Twins, J-Will, & Corey. You all inspire me to push this shit further & further each day. I have never seen nor heard of a group/unit that is so driven & talented as you all are. I'm just blessed to know each of you.

My Holy name church fam. I love you all. Too many people to name but just know that I pray for each of you everyday & love you all dearly. You're not my church family you are my family.

To Narcisse I said before & I am going to keep saying it, I don't know where I'd be without you. You stay helping & supporting me when I'm at my lowest points which mean you deserve it all when I'm at my highest.

Moms & pops I love you both in different ways but I can't lie you are the core reasons on the way I am today, & even though we stay in some beef you are all I have. My little brothers & sisters are the reason why I set the bar so high. I just want to make you all proud.

Lastly this is to all the people that I've ran into along the way. Whether it be on my blog, blogging itself, we became friends on set, or through networking. Those of you who consider yourself a fan of my writings & works I appreciate each of you everyday. My goal is to inspire & entertain so without you I could do none of that.

I love all of you & I'm thankful for any love I receive. May God bless.

CHEATING TRUTH

HAD A CONVO WITH A BUDDY OF MINE FROM FIRE ACADEMY THE OTHER DAY. HIS PHILOSOPHY ON WOMAN & HIS DATING STANDARD IS PRETTY CRAZY & UNIQUE. NONETHELESS HIS VIEWS ARE APPRECIATED & I DECIDED TO CREATIVELY COME UP WITH THIS ONE.

Tears fill her eyes
& to my subtle sweet surprise
I can still continue to tell her lies

See long as I get mine in then fuck it I'm just fine
I'm supposed to have my cake & eat it hell, that's why its mines
So I continue to chase these ratchet ass dimes
Cause I gotta bomb ass wifey who is all mines

Does whatever I need her to she ain't strong enough to leave
Shit I dick her down, take her out & even pay for her weave
She loves me & I agree
Hell I love me
But I also love taking down new bad 1's to a higher degree

I can't stop won't stop see us players continue to play
Shit if u mad blame my daddy he taught me this is the way

& really why would I be committed when I'm only 23
But bitch I'll be damned if yo ass ever tried to think of cheating on me

Selfish? Very. Liar? yes
But as a young black man we ONLY aspire to become the best
But I guess we got this shit a wrong, see Ima a mess
& no song could ever break it down
I just gotta turn my shit around

See baby I'm sorry I cheated & will continue to cheat
But until I grow up I just can't see myself not being a freak
& this one isn't that deep
Its just apart of the game in which we keep discreet

-Darrin Elliot

CHECKING IN

Its been months since I've heard you're voice
Now I'm speaking with you face to face & this wasn't my choice
Yet I embrace the opportunity something short of a rejoice

Now I'm looking at you, looking at me
I think of us & what we we're meant to be
But I see we did our part to alter perfect history
Now I'm speaking to you & your telling me his story

I see you have moved on & I'm glad cause I did too
& I'm glad to see that your over it & gained a new boo
For you deserve one after all the hell I put you through
Phoenix arose from the ashes & a person became new
Yet through & through I'm still glad to have been with you
You taught me much more shit than I even learned in School

& what's cool is that I think our drama made us better people
I mean would we really love barack if his predecessor was his equal?

Naw I don't think we really would
Which for ourselves turned out to be that good
Even if I could turn back the clock I don't think that I would

See this face to face is what I needed just to see how you are
Regardless of past you were always that very 1st star

Taught me a lot & hopefully I made you better than yesterday
Thank you for being the one in which paved the way
