35/M/South africa happy, friendly and a friend for life
Brother for life, you and I, side by side— Not just in words, but where real things reside. We both had dreams, wild fire in our chest, To rise above, to build, to live our best. The years roll on, and they shift the ground, The rules, the rhythm, the familiar sound. But I still hear your voice like back in the day— "How you livin', my brother?" — I'm okay. I sat today with a storm in my head, Thoughts spinning wild, nothing left to be said. Lit one up, brewed the strongest tea, Trying to find some peace inside of me. The weather’s cold, the clock reads half past ten, And still I write, thinking of way back when. I found an old track, dust on the sound, Thought I'd breathe new life and lay it down. Not about cars, or flex, or gold, But about the bond that never gets old. We’re not boys anymore, we’ve become men, Most got families, kids, a life to tend. And though the calls come fewer, and time slips by, You’re still my brother—I won’t let that die. We were never ones to beg or fake, Built from truth, not what others make. We stood apart, with quiet pride, Took the hard road, walked it side by side. I thank God we found that path so clear— Wouldn’t trade it for anything, my dear. Brother for life, you and I, side by side— Not just in words, but where real things reside. We both had dreams, wild fire in our chest, To rise above, to build, to live our best. I remember those wild '90s streets, When fists and fire made our beats. Loyalty tested in alleyway fights, It was one-on-one or ride with your knights. Now it’s texts and apps, a digital scene, But I still feel what brotherhood means. How you doin’ bro? — Me, I’m the same, We age on the outside, but inside: no change. Life moves fast like a runaway train, But I’m holding strong, pushing through the strain. So call me this week, let’s break that drought, We'll catch up proper, laugh, chill out. We carved our path with our bare hands, Not all made it—but still I stand. And I rap this verse for the ones who stay true, For you, my brother, and all we’ve been through. Brother for life, you and I, side by side— Not just in words, but where real things reside. We both had dreams, wild fire in our chest, To rise above, to build, to live our best. Brother, are you good? — I’m holding it down. Still chasing peace in this ruthless town. Whatever comes, you know where I stand— Right here, my brother, just reach out your hand.

"Brother, Are You Good?"

death metal screeches in the background, heart pounding, headbanging , but your face is what I see. your soul layed upon me. daydreaming over what came to pass and what shall be. what shall become of you and I endless memories flying by truth be told, without "we" there is no me no me to feel happy no me to be free your face is all I see. so many things to be glad for none of these compare to thee your shining soul belongs to me

searching for profound clarity searching, ever so, looking, finding, fruitless... dazed, crazed, unrelenting. open, caring, searching. nothing... I open my soul to endless truths, wanting to know the marrow of your youth, hanging myself to find clarity, profound, I know. I open my soul to lost spirits, wanting to know the lives they've lived, drowning myself to find clarity, profound I know. hanging, drowning who I am, drowning, hanging to find a place, a place in every soul my path may cross, selling my pieces for a fix a day, shooting, snorting my life away... wondering if this will be my dismay, giving and giving, day by day...

You beautiful face You beautiful soul Now, take your control Endless you fear. Endless you tear. Endeless you dig your flesh to clear. The pain you hide i want to share. Set your knife on me, Share with me your pain. Set your soul on me. Share with me your light. Your dark dark light. Heal with me your wounds. Heal with me your skin. Let me let your blood. Let me stitch, Have me sew your broken ends. Controll me...scar me...save me...let me... Drink my warmth, Sip my blood, Flow the blackend river of heart i have, over you. Take control, Beautiful face. Beautiful soul

beautiful face
Chills running down my spine. Skin crawling as i drink your wine. Time never waits as we crawl to run into its endless abyss, Hang on my shredded heart ends, have what is mine, stay?. Take a sip... Drug me with my own speck of a soul, free me from this hole free me from endless wondering for it, time, is to fast to live and i am to young to die Now drink from me, complete your galaxy, live in my hole, please, set me free Please, free me?

chills
Never again... Burn your name into my chest. Cut our time into my flesh. Hide never more under my skin. From now till follow my kin. Eat and drink my soul. Forget your warmth in my cold. Fathomless i feel for you. Never again...

flowing black like, the night sky. jumping soul like, falling stars pool green eyes witty sighs wonderful signs sweet words pool green eyes, stairs into a black hole stare into me , deepens my thoughts deepens my memories flowing black, pool green, keep me in your thoughts yet to be seen

change these scars
laying down in this hellish, warm, barron, land. I crave not eat nor drink. nor crave I shade. ne'r more I crave than to sink my teeth into the soul of you soul guided by glistening stars laugh to open jail cell bars devil's paints to hide your face shrouded you are, always shrouded wash Thein ink off. show me this face you hide. shrouded by happyness you have denied, glance up, teary eyes, cry ne'r more. for with your devil's I'll clean score. hush sweet sinner, lay your head, down in this barren, warm, hellish land of dead. wipe your cheeks on my chest, I'll carve your visage onto my crest lend me your hand, for an instant yet, for me to thank you, dousing my endless regret . washing years of torment away, a dark soul I begot, fear not sweet face. thou hath my soul. erased
