21/M/City that never sleeps Just a guy with a passion for words
Flicking through pictures of us and remembering how simpler times and our lives used to be But then global panic set in and our worlds were in limbo and that was the same for everyone else apparently I told you to stay home and not worry about me But you wanted to be a supportive friend and come to my house and check up on me I should’ve looked at your symptoms more closer and not just said a case of allergies If I knew that was the last time I’d see you I would’ve hugged you tighter I would’ve picked us up a bottle of Hennessy and we could’ve talked about how when we were younger we thought the worse thing we’d drink that would burn our throats was room temperature Apple cider Could’ve rolled us up one and I’d forget mine so we’d have to use your lighter Then we’d get the munchies and walk down the block to McDonald’s three in the morning and get breakfast and lunch foods because we had bipolar **** induced acquired taste Sorry I’m just going off tangent to keep tears from falling down my face I remember our late night conversations and how we both said we didn’t want funerals because we felt they’re a waste We’d rather have our friends and family throw a celebration party and think back on all the good times as they remember us But now that you’re gone and our dynamic duo is now a solo dolo These pills in my left hand look rather death inducing but this razor blade in my right hand also looks like another possible solution to make the world remember us I could never go through with it though because I’ll always have your voice stuck inside my head “The **** is you thinking I’m surprised at you You been swimming in the murky waters called life for twenty one years and now you take the easy way out and wanna start sinking? Do you know how many people are looking up and supporting you All the people from our neighborhood who couldn’t go to college or imagine a better life for themselves are now focused on watching your journey on to success and living their lives through you” Tough love and tougher advice I needed to hear to get myself back on track But it doesn’t diminish the fact your no longer here and there’s no chance of you coming back You really should’ve put yourself first for once and stayed home practicing social distancing and I would’ve never had a reason to write this rap What am I supposed to do now that my partner in crime is watching over me and hoping I make her proud from time to time? Keep living life the way I was before and hope and pray I don’t get committed time from our crooked criminal justice system for an uncommitted crime So much I wanted to say before I hit send on this voicemail that i know you’ll never hear but felt inclined to do that way nobody has room to give you fake love and appreciation for the final time Last bit of Hennessy left in this bottle from when we were together before i knew it would be the last time I think I’ll drink it out the bottle with no chaser and let you live through me one final time

Promise me honestly Our vows will hold weight like the hammer of Thor I vow to be the protector of your Heart and emotions both in reality and consciously Cautiously making sure you don’t look like a fool in these winter streets When In the eyes of the public I represent you and it’s vice versa for me My heart was locked off to love and god must’ve blessed you with the only key For so long I used to think my love life was dead and non salvageable All that’s missing from my happy life is some ears from a famous mouse and a kiss in front of a castle so it can truly be magical And I promise you this isn’t a love that you’ve felt before studied each other like profilers from the fbi and that helped us build our rapport So can you promise me honestly Our vows will hold weight like the hammer of Thor

The Vows
Bullets made of lead Brave soldiers blood keeps getting shed IEDs and S-vest go off leaving captain America with TBI and shrapnel in his head America said it’s only my 3rd day out here so why must y’all choose to put me 6 feet deep in my bed My winter nights supposed to be cold not ****** When I said a vacation far from everyone I didn’t mean in ROTC crawling on the ground getting muddy And I won’t say names But this countries deck of cards hasn’t been the same since we added the 45th card and now he keeps receiving the wrong kind of fame I don’t have a problem with the man it’s more his beliefs choices and antics Airstrikes on foreign countries now WW3 is trending and everyone’s in a panic College students scared to file their FAFSA because they’re scared to be drafted To think I almost brought a child in this world To think I almost married one of my friends to keep her in her first world of choice and not taken back to her third world People get married in court rooms then take pictures in front of the courthouse and settle for dutty pigeons flying over head instead of the white doves No flower girl in sight just kids forced to dress up and smile for their parents wedding picture but it’s the fifth guy they’ve seen their mother with so they’re confused as to what is really love Most women dreams of an elaborate wedding get shot down and crushed due to the fear of immigration looming Now men’s dreams of being able to protect and provide for their family get replanned for them by getting shipped to war to prevent nuclear bombs to get to booming Instead of making peace we’re bombing people Before getting out of one war we’re deployed to the next Low morale and fatigue get us captured and tortured now the enemy is recording a video of chopping off our necks We just sent 700 troops to the Middle East to prepare for a war that’s imminent If not WW3 scale there’s a war coming And when it comes I’ll be running Not towards the bullets but in the opposite direction Up north and make my new national anthem oh Canada and sipping a Canada Dry And if I look at the news and hear sad reports about my former country I probably won’t have a tear in my eye

America the great America my favorite escape You’re slowing falling deeper into turmoil and today was the day we were supposed to plan your escape There’s a man leading you and your people into a grave America please fight for yourself so we can go back to calling you brave Stop letting them get you to conform, if you bend anymore we’ll literally forget your original form And I don’t know if you know it yet or not but you and Russia seem to have an on and off relationship and the man that’s misleading you is how the wall was born Immigration laws keep separating kids from their parents Thank God my mom was born here but what about the friends that I cherish Mrs. Pakistan doesn’t have a man but to keep her in the states she’ll be marrying this American What about my Mexicans? My Africans? My Dominicans? And my Ecuadorian? Bill Cosby drugged women and I married a handful just so more innocent families aren’t torn apart Like I said before I’m selfless with my antics I’d do anything to not see another family get separated and put in a panic America we aren’t talking about money when we said we need to see a lot of change drastically before upcoming dates Segregation can’t be taught anymore if it’s a current event and it’s happening before journalists can document the dates Aren’t you tired of seeing blood and tears shed on your wide estates? America I won’t make this too long but I’ll just ask this last question America, Are We Too Late?

You left around ‘06 And the wall called my guard is still up with these old bricks I’m scared to tell a girl their heart is in good hands with me but my emotions in theirs is too slippery they won’t be able to get good grips I feel more blue than red nowadays I feel like my affiliation belongs to the crips Hennessy been looking better and better these past couple of days she might get these elite licks She took my pain away after a few sips Sike I’ll never fall for these plain Jane girls like French tips You’d be surprised I’m 20 and haven’t fell for a hoes tricks You can thank my mother and sisters for the guidance Thinking you’d come back used to be a big hope in my mind that occurred in wide stints But before I turn 20 I just wanna say I’m not mad at how your absence made me a hollow man I’ll never know a mans love so when I tell my future kids that I love them I hope I can get them to understand I’ll be the embarrassing dad just because I want them to know I’ll forever be apart of their life I’ve dealt with that sharp pain of wondering if my life would’ve turned out better if you stayed in mine So I’ll never want my kids to feel the pain of that knife Again sorry for the long voicemail Just some last minute thoughts before I turn 20

Before I Turn 20
From the kid killed in front of the bodega to all the women being ***** along with police brutality Someone’s playing Thanos because we’re dying off rapidly There won’t ever be a food shortage because half the population is gone in an unknown fatality When will we see the end to this Millions billions and trillions of dollars dumped into our military but there’s still no sense to this But this is the make America great country that I’m living in How can hell be any worse than the one we’re living in I’ll probably see more people dead than I’ll see graduated There’s polar opposite feelings when death certificates and graduation certificates are allocated Never catch me outside in my house is where I’ll be located The blocks getting hot and only by the guns that inhabit them And it’s all fun and games Until police brutality or false identity gets you killed and your life lives on through people that have inked your name And no matter how many memories you had with them it’ll never be the same Because their watching over you at a height no mortal man can obtain I’m not trying to be a pastor trying get people to follow the words I preach I’m just praying the ones I love stay safe in these summer streets

Summer Streets
There’s days where feel a little under appreciated But every time I’m with you I feel that get alleviated I don’t know if it’s you or me turning 20 but I feel my life’s purpose is a little different now You should see me running in my house answering a notification hoping your name on the screen will come around Not desperate but my happiness comes in short stints and doesn’t last for long And if your wondering about my scars let’s just say most of my clouded judgement and overthinking is the result of me micromanaging all the things I should’ve done right that I thought were wrong Don’t look at my wrist just put your eyes on me Let’s just say I’m the type of person who shouldn’t be left alone in a dark room with their thoughts because they’ll be a shock for few and that would be a total surprise to me People shed a few tears and I never thought I’d see a few cries for me I never let you in because I’m scared once you leave the haunted house called my thoughts you’ll go far away My best friends called anxiety and depression keep interrupting me when I’m trying to find the words expressing my emotions and it’s hard to say You ever feel like you’ve just met someone and you wish the conversations you had with them get longer in duration That’s how I felt with you because I’m usually beating myself over the head with my thoughts and every time we talked I had one less abrasion And if your reading this just know it wasn’t you that had a part in me doing this I just got tired of everything and I wanted you to know that the time we spent together was the perfect date And I’m sorry I could never tell you this in person and had to put it on the fourteenth tape

Such a pretty young thing And a personality like no other I’m shocked someone hasn’t raided your finger with a diamond so the insects called men can’t have a chance with you because of your bug repellent ring It’s sad when you realize the person you thought was keeping you up instead was keeping you down Your number 1 fan turned to your number 1 stan and now you realize that you’ve been the most realist person on your team that you’ve kept around Girls be wanting Hakeems from the Bronx but want a wedding like Aladdin in the Sultans Palace Stop getting married to temporary vibe boosters because once that high is over you’ll be out your wonderland and your name will no longer be Alice Stop doing joint bank accounts with hopes of traveling the world together because only one of your passports will be the new portable atlas My PhD in relationship longevity is telling me to diagnose you with takotsubo cardiomyopathy due to an unhealthy exposure to malice We not together right now but I have faith it’s in gods plans You falling for the wrong guy but I know you’ll land in gods hands You should give me a call when your man playing child games I won’t be your knight in shining armor but I’ll be the one to save you from your depression and suicidal claims Thick girls don’t need to worry about losing weight Guys like me love you the way you are and when we say you’ve been weighing heavy on our mind it means you hold weight Trying to give change to a man who doesn’t know your worth when you’re the whole dollar but that’s for a different debate Never let the public eye shape how you feel about yourself in your private eye All those names they call you during the day wash away in the night time And take my advice when I tell you eating your problems away doesn’t make the pain subside I should be telling myself this advice but look in the mirror and when you smile at the reflection only then will you be able to go out in the world and have the biggest enemy called your conscience on your side

Beauty on the outside with scars on the inside Keep lying to yourself but I know emotionally broken women when they come across my line of sight 1000 selfies taken and only 1 of them gets posted because the angle is just right They say a picture paints a thousand words but I can tell from your captions there’s more things to paint His smile His charm The way he makes you feel The protection you feel in his arms How he treats you All the things that pulled you in and all the things you love about him equally that you can’t even rank Your friends told you he’s cancerous but you said he’s benign and he’s right for you But I’ve noticed the natural glow your skin used to have is getting a little dim so I wonder does he shed enough light on you If he doesn’t then I’ll be your sun and shed light and insight on you I just wonder how can a lady as pretty as you date men that are so dumb They aren’t worth your time so why do you give them some You mix beauty brains and a social life so well you should forget your career goals and be an author and write a book for the preteen girls and mold their brain while they’re still young Tell them selling their body isn’t good advertisement for the public when it should be done in private Leave guys wanting more and curious and your true intentions make sure to hide it Tell them that a premium Snapchat isn’t inflating their pockets it’s just giving the adult entertainment business new fresh faces and lives to corrupt It’s all fun and easy revenue until all your clients get used to the same camera view and that cash flow becomes abrupt Never put all your cards on the table until most of the boys on your list flopped turned their *** card in and cried you a river for your amusement I’m not saying tell these girls to play with guys hearts but keep their guard up But enough about all these girls let’s get back to the one I’m started talking about which was you The boomerang called life can be thrown but so far until it comes flying back to you Never sell your soul and morals to a man because no matter how dreamy the eyes may seem All it takes is a hard enough pull on your heart strings to get pulled back into your reality nightmare from your beautiful dream Older you learned from those mistakes but younger you made those same mistakes as other girls I can see the resemblance Same attitude “Men aren’t crap, I should turn gay There’s somebody worthy of my heart, the same lie I’ve been told all my life and it’s told the same way” But the truth is your heart has too many scars from your past and you’re just filled with resentments Scars can’t heal overnight it’ll take time to mend But in the mean time makes amends With your exes and forgive them for not knowing how to treat you Your mentality was a deadly fatality on them and you were always like a star high in the sky and they could never reach you So please take my advice when I say don’t fill your heart with hatred because sooner or later it will eat you

I was looking for a way out of my thoughts and mental prison Before you knew me I was washing away my ***** past and embarrassment that made my skin crimson But I’m not worried because I know one day I’ll be strong enough to escape my mind No matter if it costs me to break myself and rebuild it over time I just need a place to rest my head for the night and let out my last bit of crying And the devil with his contract keeps appearing my dreams but I’m not ready to give up and commit to signing Tell me I’m pretty, even though I have a broken soul Tears from my past, while my heart has a hole And please don’t look away from my face, I promise I won’t make another me and be cold as stone Just take me in your arms and tell me my hell is behind me and you’ll be my heaven and I’ll always be loved along with my broken soul
