Kite
James Romano Jul 2018
Living like a kite seems fun and free
But who's pulling the strings, is it you or me?
I'm higher than you but you claim to see
More than I but I am we
I see above I see beyond I see the future
Let me live life my way, f#@% your Kama Sutra
Real people say more power to ya
You love me, but really, who am I?
So I'm sorry ma but I gotta cut this tie
I'm a real diamond in the sky and that ain't no lie
Flew way high, now I'm just another star in the sky
but I'm happier so why you gotta cry?

At the wrong end of the string
Is it you or is it me?
Who really tying each other back from reality?
I want you to shine but really I'm afraid
Diamonds are forever but stars seem to fade...
Guess that's the trade
Always thought dreams were dreams now my life been made...
I let you cut this tie so you can live life freely
So don't worry, I'm crying because I'm happy really
Don't get the wrong idea, I know you still see me
From the sky, the starry field that was once beyond my reach
I let you fly baby because God put me here to teach.
Momma's word
There is no one truth, there is only decisions

Smot
James Romano Jan 2019
Met a lil goblin, it was cold there was snot
lil man snifflin' wanted gold, "call me Smot" - he said
Must've been sad snifflin with his eyes red
3 years later we tight but it's a sad day
Saw lil man, thought he hit the hay
Poked him once said, "man you okay?"
stomach turning swear I smelt the rot
2 years later and I'm still poking Smot

High
James Romano Jul 2018
High state of mind, alternate reality
Sober life living with a stoner mentality
Wrong drug, met my fatality
Life is only influence, set by vocality

Low state of mind, surround yourself well
South of heaven, basically hell
Higher ups, under one's spell
Life boring, don't dwell

Back to reality, find your task
Stay true to yourself, no mask
but who am I, finally I ask
I am my future, not my past.
Stay away from drugs but stay high

Age

Age
Love grownups but hate growin' up
Hate plans but love showin' up
Love kids, their imagination not far
Hate children, trying to tell people who they are
Love goin' up when it's the only thing you know
But as adults you realize when life hit you with a low blow
But don't lose yourself, don't lose your will
But don't be a kid, don't enjoy a downhill
Be an adult, it's okay to be at a standstill that's for real.
Move on when the time is right
Never lose sight of the brighter light
Power through with your mind and might
Realize that life's a kite

Life
James Romano Jul 2018
Life is what it seems
Life ain't just a dream
Life is what you make it
Life ain't a routine
Life is just a scene
One after the other
You can't figure life out, go on, ask your mother

She was always a realist
Don't make her the realest
I know you love me momma but you caught up in your feelins
Tell me what you think love is
It was never just an emotion
Love is trust, loyalty, and teaching a rightful notion
Love never born, just there
But same time love grows like a pair
"Excuse me, manners young boy,"
oops guess I should've said hair
