That feeling
King Bacon Oct 2014
I don’t know what to believe,
“Have faith” He told me
Faith, that was seeing beyond.
He compared it to the wind
it can be felt,
but not seen.

Its a feeling,
what I feel for someone else.
My mind can’t explain it
I  can't make it go away.
What is this?
love?

I want to share it with her,
not all of it
just the good things.
Am I wrong to want that?

I think about her all the time.

What is the point?
What do you feel?
I don’t know the words to describe it
Do you feel warmth?  
Does it feel nice?
There is more,
so much more
I know there is something missing
no not missing
stolen
Something was stolen
from me
and you....

The Tale of Bacon
King Bacon Oct 2014
Once upon a time, a long time ago
There was a little boy with a grimy flow
I used to hear him rap in Chicago everyday
And this is what I heard him say…….

He say **** like, he be like….

Ah! and I'm a ******* biter
The size of the incises inside ya might surprise ya
You might need rewind to decipher my cyphers
Ain't nothing on this world worth more than my saliva
I go so hard when I'm flowing
So cold my flows frozen

I'm a rowboat rowing in an open ocean
And I'm hoping, to blow up with no promotion
But dam, those explosions are so slow motion
So, I need some honey bees to pollinate my money trees
Cause fuckery of companies, accompanies that come between
A couple bucks and me, turned my orange juice to Sunny-D

Hide the cash for food stamps, no way i'm funded publicly
I'm hungry, but not for sandwiches I'm ambitious
A panhandler with gram plans and last wishes
Ask for the last table scraps you can't finish
Sell em back when you digest, and I repackage it

Abracadabra, I'm an alchemist, my magic tricks are acting as contaminates
I damage this establishment
They enacted bans on urban camping
If you ask them how they sleep at night the answer is
Happily on mattresses

Who's King Bacon?
King Bacon Jan 2015
Don’t put me in a box, I am my own teacher
I don’t worship TV idols, I have other preachers
I don't toss a poem to come across as known
friends crossed me, don’t know my own home
I don't speak for an arrogant cause
Or do self-righteous acts just to merit applause
I don’t make scenes to be seen as a person of God
What you see as a skill, I see as a character flaw
I don't use a hype man sell grams to buy fans
I don't scream to get attention other ways for lungs to expand
I don't ******* my talent for people that bystand
Or try to trick innocent people more desperate than I am

Sell a line, sell a book
Sell a dream, sell a scheme
Sell a brother false hope you control his self-esteem
Let a brother talk **** I won’t get mad at all
I’ll just throw a couple stabs like my cousin at the mall
So please tell me what’s worse
being broke or broken?
but before you answer that let me ask you this first
In the place you live, can you quench your thirst?
Do you have enough time to finish a verse?
Remember our time here was borrowed, can’t reimburse
Parasitic
a chemic I been it
I pen it, I penetrate my a pen all day
To descend and mate
My inner state is in the state
to keep on straight,
administrate and illustrate
What people haul with haste till it's in his face
So in the case where i’m in my space
my focus is to chase
Yeshua’s face is faced with the waste of people sending hate
Intimidating to people claiming contention
ostensibly incoherent was air for my ascension
It's plucking a hair ain't it?
who painted the P.I.C cell
in pixels, the pig sells
the witch who picks spells, got hell

Tie a boar to a tree transmitting this
free him a year later he'll stay in the same radius
Maybe it's in the tears
Maybe it's just kinetics
Maybe I do love attention
and writing is how I get it
encapsulated beneath the surface the desire is unknown
You think this a joke
Get shot in your funny bone!

Cleaning
King Bacon Dec 2014
I erupted through that birth canal,
My mind was never narrow it must of hurt my mama, ow!
I used to hate my cousins how miss them, nephew looks older now.  
I promised I will never leave them ,but Chiraq got more dangerous how?

Lost a friend, put a poster up
Have you seen this child?
Bro, can't you just grow up
I redefined existence,
Instead of finding God, I found religion
I am just a product of what my dad, and mom were sippin’

Every second is pivotal, the sand of times went digital
try to pass God my problems, but every play's a give and go
Smacked my face through these walls, fight battles that ain’t mine
spit similar similes sing symphonies to this heart of mine,
But if I pray long enough will I continue to sin
Will God give up or will I give in?
Someone took my innocence, but gave me a voice
Tell free will I am sorry but I never had a choice.
Should be studying for finals.

Yeshua vs Litos
King Bacon Oct 2014
(Litos)
Hey yo start the beat
I'm Coño mixed with “pardon me”
and part of me thought to see
the kid behind the harmony,
where’s the scholarly artistry?
you burn my chest so viciously,
Caught heart disease,
these bars, emcee
are so clogged into your arteries.

(Yeshua)
I know its hard to be
as raw as me
and still rap consciously

(Litos)
But your consciously
conflicted between honesty and modesty.

(Yeshua)
Well honestly
I'm probably a prodigy
just trying to make a profit
of this prophecy
so I can feed the body
of the God in me.

(Litos)
We stay calm
with made bombs
and grey palms
Im saying what I say, calm!
But know this is my song.

Your the kid by the bricks with his homies to smoke ****.

(Yeshua)
No! I’m the kid in the back of the class getting no sleep.

(Litos)
Same story different penmanship
but this sentence in irreverent
Your browner than the cypher.

(Yeshua)
I'm In tune with my sentiments.
sonically logical
grammatically accurate.

(Litos)
Quick the masking
get off that fashion
you know you have to be disastrous.

(Yeshua)
You know my life
we hold the mic
my flow is to bring the soul to life
I met faith face to face
and that's the reason I roll the dice
I’m prolific with the written
and that’s the way you know its me
perfect with the poetry
and we don’t need to know to read.

(Litos)
Hey yo Yeshua do me a favor and elevate those decimals
and watch those foot soldiers dismember your generals

(Yeshua)
You promise me you'll forget it
but the feeling is unforgettable
but now I’m trying to get it
cause you said I wasn't ghettoble.

(Litos)
But I don’t need a step up stool
to ****** you off your pedestal.

(Yeshua)
Shut up!
My mother use to make me eat knowledge
instead of vegetables,
but now I grab a fork and knife
what ever metaphor is right,
Don’t swarm me like locust
You know I really don’t like to fight
i’ll beat a dead pig to life
don’t catch my photons
you’ll burn with light
cause I have skills like your favorite Emcee

(Litos)
Before the Hype?
now the locust is scattering like roaches
guess they saw the light
make them look so bad
you think they would want to fight?

(Yeshua)
Cause' when they see me speak
they start to laugh at me a first
then they get shattered
and they beg for me to do a verse

(Litos)
Dude? Your brain is disproportion
You have three endorphin?

(Yeshua)
They work when I
write words
perform words
or record them
and do it with no sleep
and beat breeze

Don’t ask me what that **** means
its a riddle with a sick scheme,

(Litos)
So put me on your playlist
don't put me on your **** list!
If you are just in this for business
then skip this.

(Yeshua)
But soon all you fools
in this
just witness
that this kid is gifted
like rich kids on Christmas.

(Litos)
The sickness with which I'm afflicted
is lethal
Yeshua be careful what you shoot up
through that needle.

(Yeshua)
SHUT THE **** UP!

I don't give a ****
You won't win this fight
cause' I won this fight
get off my mic...

With each poem,
I get closer in becoming a lovable Golem.

So what's hot in the streets
I’m mean
I beat women,
OG
I’ve seen prison
I even eat kittens
We winning
Mr. Kelly met me
he let me *** with him.

I’m so deep with words it could sound like an eternity
one day they will close read my rhymes in every university
I only make vinyls
and I serve emcees that burn CDs,
I’m so undergrounds even my fans haven’t even heard of me,
nah,
I got money son,
all my watches are custom done
by the time
I set the time
my butler comes with another one
I’m gutter son,
the razors in my mouth are just to cut my gums,
My facebook is set to private son
you don’t know where the **** I’m from

Imma poet,
roses are red
Moses ovaries bled
Supernova explodes,
when my pen exposes it led.
I once mounted a soul, when its body was chemically dead,
If you don’t know my poetries dope, its because its going over your head,
nah,

I’m so Hip Hop I crip walk in flip flops,
Imma mix of Rick ross, and lil kris kross,
Imma gang banger
nah,

rap is just a stepping stone in becoming a bad actor,
imma crack rapper,

I **** with some proper grammar

I’ll tell everyone in the stands to throw their hands up,

What I am

Imma positive rapper I swear my mom is a pastor
I got a pocket quran
I almost read all of the chapters,
and Imma get a couple grammys,
yep and an emmy,
I'm family friendly,
even your old freakin granny gets me.

Back in the day when life gave us lemons
we made lemonade
never straight
never made a track that was second grade
In seventh grade
it was never about getting paid
thats why we spend more money than we ever made,
I used to love it but **** it,
I’m giving up
imma puppet,
I’m anything,
I’m everything, if you got money in your pocket
Congratulations to sponsors on creating a monster
All you haters are just making me stronger

And now all my fans hate me,
They say “I liked you before you were mainstream”
******* so did I somebody should of paid me
Imma Iconic,

And no ones tryna buy product,
Ironic,

but I promise,

I make your eyes pop out of your eye sockets,
so y’all can go ahead and be some hip hop heads,

El Cucuy
King Bacon Nov 2014
Puffed his prayer filterless and snorted higher forces
bloodstream is filled with chemical collision courses,
tied to his past which was tied to a gun
el Cucuy smiled with ******* traced in his gums.

He talked to God while a devil manifested within'
tried to **** it with the poison he'd inject in his skin
his best friend a pipe, his wife’s a syringe
head back, eyes close, let the chemicals in

I once had a friend named Ashley,
Guys went into her life, she turned nasty
She dropped,
She cut,
She loved,
She fought,
and ended up with a baby girl named Nancy,

Nestor was always smarter, but he never looked up colleges
He had a ****** up life, and understanding of what knowledge is  
Now he lives inside a cell,
which must be hell
Amigo, should of listen to that bell.

Angel was the champion when you gave him a soccer ball,
instead he got drugs in school, and never went to class at all.

Chantelle got ***** a lot, but no one ever seemed to care
She met the church, and made it seemed that God was there,
She was thankful that she found a reason to keep living
A year later killed herself,
I guess she was trying to meet him.

I fight against momentum, but the pendulum wins
Accept your faith, and destiny, your acceptable sins
Don’t ever believe that you're better than him,
The Devil has manifested from within

Those that don't believe the lies and realize that demons lie
Inside these so called angels are the one that angels demonize
But those that don't desalt the word and realize who jesus is and judas is
Are usually the people nailing someone to a crucifix
The root of ruthlessness with evils use of foolishness
Someone tell the doctor there’s a virus in the nucleus

The window to the broken soul resembles that of shattered glass
Some live by the ****** axe, some live by the lonely ranch,
They spent a lot of lives in opposition but their caskets match.
King Bacon Jul 2015
mama used to tell me, used to tell me...

I hope you never have to make it on your own,
but if you learn to love yourself you’ll never be alone,
I hope you work your hardest to achieve your dreams,
and I hope one day you’ll realize what you meant to me,
Go find out who’s out there for you and let me know
love her and fill her mind body spirit with your soul
and when you get it give thanks, and pray to God.
and remember one thing, remember one thing
One girl can change your world
One girl can change your world
One girl can change your world
One girl can change your world

All I..
All I ever wanted was for someone to make me feel fantastic
Imagine one day God made you have it, a bad chick.
I remember those days back in that grimy mattress
who would of thought I would of made an attachment
i’m talking about dreaming so hard it seemed like rest day
you know?
Putting those dreams in the bag, trash day.
you came out of nowhere my imagination crash bae
even better than any girl described by kanye
I might speed up with energy but then I crash
One day i’ll get you that car you’ve always wanted, be my gas
Look
Think about it
Close your eyes
Dream about it
Tell your Family about it
Let’s make this universe ours tell the world about it,
Success is on its way, I can see it in the distance
If heaven was next to you I wouldn’t see any difference
There was one opportunity i’m glad I didn’t miss it
Lonely in this world trying to find life’s mission
Now i’m walking with this girl in the heart of the mission  

I hope you never have to make it on your own,
but if you learn to love yourself you’ll never be alone,
I hope you work your hardest to achieve your dreams,
and I hope one day you’ll realize what you meant to me,
Go find out who’s out there for you and let me know
love her and fill her mind body spirit with your soul
and when you get it give thanks, and pray to God.
and remember one thing, remember one thing
One girl can change your world
One girl can change your world
One girl can change your world
One girl can change your world

My mama told me, “You’ll find your half orange on the right hour”
The time rang, I had to save her from the clock tower,
Sat next to her, we share close stories and we laughed,
But I told her I would always tell her anything if she asked
She asked,  “Do you really love me, like you say”
I told her, “ I promise to say I love you everyday”
we’ll go and explore the world from bay to bay
growing up without anything you always have to extra try
and I wanna be with you while i’m alive,
Teach me the basic thing of life like how to drive
Let’s raise the cutest kids and let’s do it right
Make sure your next to me when I love, but also when I cry
Let’s get old and play together ‘till we die
and hold my hand God will teach us how to fly
Since I met you I knew you were always an angel in disguise (in the sky)
And with you I will never have to say goodbye

I hope you never have to make it on your own,
but if you learn to love yourself you’ll never be alone,
I hope you work your hardest to achieve your dreams,
and I hope one day you’ll realize what you meant to me,
Go find out who’s out there for you and let me know
love her and fill her mind body spirit with your soul
and when you get it give thanks, and pray to God.
and remember one thing, remember one thing
One girl can change your world
One girl can change your world
One girl can change your world
One girl can change your world
Thank you for always loving me and changing my world <3

My Home Girl
King Bacon Oct 2014
Tell me when you're coming home again,
Do you think about me now or then?
Please tell me you think about me now, not then.
Come home so we can be friends again.

I met this girl ‘til I was 6 years old,
What I loved about her that she had so much soul,
She said excuse me lil homie,
I know you don’t know me
my name is Iguala, and I like to grow trees,
and from that point I never forgot her at all
Guerrillas came to town, and we hid from them all
brothers like to act tough, but she knows they're soft
We used to mess with tourist and towed them off
When I grew up she showed me how to go downtown
In the nighttime her face lit up,
so astounding,
I told her there will be a place in my heart where she’ll always be
She never messed with men because they always leave.
She said, “It feels like they stomped, and rode on me”
They knew I was cartel affiliated, so they got up and told on me
Maybe that's why last month she got so cold on me.
She said, “Litos, keep your dreams shiny and gold for me.”

Tell me when you're coming home again,
Do you think about me now or then?
Please tell me you think about me now, not then.
Come home so we can be friends again.

If you really cared about her
You would of never left her to follow your dreams
Sometimes I still talk to her
But when I talk to her
It always seems that  she wants to talk about me
She said, “You left your friends, and they are just like you
they also have dream, and wanna succeed like you,
But they ain't you”
and I just got through
thinking about life,
this Litos is new
People always tell me that leaving her was wrong
I guess you never know what you got ‘til its gone.
“God put you here for a reason” and I can’t go back home
And guess when I heard that, when I was back home.
Every little talk I’m representing you, making your proud,
Reach for the Gods you land on the clouds
jump in the lake, wave your body around
If you don’t know by now
I’m talking about my Mexican Town!!!

Tell me when you're coming home again,
Do you think about me now or then?
Please tell me you think about me now, not then.
Come home so we can be friends again.

Fucked Up Dreams
King Bacon Oct 2014
I see these recurring themes,
In my recurring dreams,
I can’t seem to encolor the world
my whole world is blowing gray,
and them recurring themes
I’m seeing seem to be scene securing
recurring dreams to my recurring days.

I was counting sheep,
hoping in some way it would amount to sleep,
I wasn’t even drowsy must of been about a thousand deep,
way up on some mountain peek,
somewhere where the clouds can speak,
If I don’t ****** fall asleep soon,
I think I’m about to leap.

Now I am falling like rain,
Someone is calling my name,
Woke up driving a car with some fool up all in my lane.
Saw some dude with a sign he said, “The end is coming soon”
Last night I swore I saw another moon.
Hoped out my tomb it must of been around eleven-ish,
The second moon said that the red moon is devilish,  
The red moon said,
“I can’t imagine what the hell it is to be in prison in your present tense,”
But when the sentence ends its possible if not probable there will be better friends,
stretchers and machine to give you medicine,

When the setting said go to bed again don’t forget me kid,
went to counting sheep and I woke up in a shepherd's skin.
softer than a leopard skin ,
wonder what the sheep the shepherds been,
another setting setting in,
another setting setting in
Now this is where the stress begins,
The wool was full with strings and scabs,
and all I could think of is I want to sleep so bad.

I looked up at the wall and I saw the clock was melting,
I fell to my hands and knees and then began collecting,
its stiff ***,
ran my finger tip through the tik toks.
They could trick my wrist like an handle filled with wrist watch,
That **** locked oh **** I wish that I could pick locks,
woke with a fist **** in a boxing ring.
The clock went ding,
My opponent was a clock.

God that clock started clocking me,
I don’t wanna punch my clock,
This is ****** sad,
Put a boxer in a box turn him into a punching bag,
Put a boxer in a box turn him into a punching bag,
I see this recurring themes,
In my recurring dreams,
I can’t seem to encolor the world
my whole world is blowing gray,
and the recurring themes
I’m seeing seem to be scene securing
recurring dreams to my recurring days.

El Mojado
King Bacon Mar 2016
He packed his desire to remain
His state of transforming himself
Into the man that he dreamed of
And has not achieved

He said good-bye with a grimace disguised as a smile
And supplicated to his crucified God on the mantelpiece
For the protection of his loved ones

And he broke through the border
As he could

If the pale moon slips
Through any cornice
Without any permission
Why does el mojado need
To show with visas
That he is not of Neptune?

El mojado has the desire to dry off
El mojado is wet because of the tears that nostalgia evokes
El mojado, the one without documentation
Loads the packages that the legal would not load
Not even when forced

The torment of a piece of paper has turned him into a fugitive
And he is not from here because his name does not appear in the files
Nor is he from there because he went away

If the pale moon slips
Through any cornice
Without any permission
Why does el mojado need
To show with visas
That he is not of Neptune?

El Mojado
He knows your truth through lies
He knows anxiety through sadness
Of seeing a freeway and dreaming of the path
That leads to your house

El Mojado
Wet from so much weeping
Knowing that in some place
Waits a kiss taking a break
Since the day on which you left

If the pale moon slips
Through any cornice
Without any permission
Why does el mojado need
To show with visas
That he is not of Neptune?

If the universal visa is issued
On the day that we are born
And it expires upon death
Why do they persecute you, el mojado
If the consul of the heavens
Already gave you permission?

Hey yo!
From that valley
but i haven’t seen the sunset
not playing,
I got game that could make a nun wet.
Pump that!
Art in my veins
at the bottom but i'm the hottest
so call me the blue part of the flame!
man in college I changed,
Remember first stepping on the soil
I was an innocent boy
Extra ****** like an olive oil
Gave my brain to a half Asian
amazing
gave it back now i’m finally graduating
Yo i’m a raider
no greater
than your average hater
He gave me a hand, the brokest!
I had a better chance getting cake in Hostess
Focus!
bacon, stop losing it
here’s the ball
and there’s the net
homies keep asking me why I ain’t made it yet,
I plan my moves so carefully like it’s a game of chess
This is my leap year no more taking baby steps.

Fallin'
King Bacon Oct 2014
I slipped upwards through the cracks,
I went places I was not allowed,
Now I am falling down,
Homie I walk through the tops of clouds,
With a Caine I am able to find heaven’s doors when the day is over,
When I came down I choked on my halo,
Chains are outdated,
They are blindlessly outrages,
The cages got replace with complantancy,
See I waited oh so patiently for happiness in all the wrong places,
Traded it for a higher state of mind and higher wages,
The races and the wages,
raised the question of waging war,
I haven't ask them yet,
and then I ask what I was waiting for,
Never paid it to much mind,
I was faded with the flow,
of the highest to know they come,
with their tie under their toe,
Nobody thinks oh no,
they think that they think,
and they go where they go,
and they blink when they blink,
and they speak when they speak,
and they drink when they drink,
There's a kink in the sink,
And I think its in the brink its the end,
But my friend if you rather just pretend,
That its fine, and find more money to spend,
I mean nothing in life is free,
Society is slily,
So the sly in me has realize that they lied to me,
I have realize that I can breathe,
Without paying the slightest fee,
But I will surely die,
If paper takes the life from trees,
But the grass is green,
The family van is filled with gasoline,
The dogs and cats are fed,
Even the trash is clean,
Cookie baking families,
7 Digit salaries,
But there is no imagining the damaging,
At first glance it seems everything is happily,
Look under the mask you will see that,
That’s a fantasy,
I am no longer impress with the best of the best,
You know big ballers don’t respect the bench,
But theres a lot going on top,
That people tend to forget,
From the breath of breath,
To the depth of death,
You know its coming soon,
But no one expects it yet,
Heaven steps just led to an electric fence,
Find the balances,
Between the projects and the palaces,
The process of progress gave my hands calluses,
Prospect of objects that obstruct the abstract,
Concept of happiness that I want to have back,
Expecting more from heavens door,
This fantasy is upsetting,
Hell is more a metaphor with unangelic settings,
You just pluck the strings,
Until your ******' fingers bled,
Forgetting all the wild,
But everything is in your head,
and no man is more wicked than the one who thinks he’s righteous,
And there no black and white here,
Only shades of blindness,
The road to happiness is easily mistaken,
God works in mysterious ways,
but so does Satan.

We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so **** serious
That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
That's why I'm instrumental
Vibrations is what I'm into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I'm talking to you, my many inspirations
When I say I can't, let you or self down
If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
I would never, ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love
That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out

Who The Fuck am I?
King Bacon Dec 2014
Hey, Have you heard the story about my trip to purgatory
I sat in Satan’s seat and watch him turn the world before me,
and Satan said to me, that I was my worst enemy,
I said to Satan, one day I will be a celebrity
and Satan said to me, I will be dead eventually
I said, I will never die not as long as they remember me
and then I went home, and made a date with destiny
I told the waiter we will be paying separately
Rest in Peace
Jonathan
I live by the lake
When my best friend died
Satan said, Do you believe in faith
well he believed, life is what you make it  
and that we were going to make it
and one day we would be famous
but now who the **** am I?  
My name is King Bacon
In the streets I learn about blackouts
they tried to get me high, but my hyphy got me passed out
and wake up on the floor in the back of a grimy crackhouse
but that was the old me
this year‘s the new me
loosely say the truth
but truth is not a word I use loosely
the truth is absolute, I believe this absolutely

Everyday is the earth’s revolution
Life’s a gift
it’s a death that you’re choosing
I leave them wanting more
I hope they’re wanting more
until the day of death
he’ll be knocking at your door

Everyday is the earth’s revolution
Life’s a gift
it’s a death that you’re choosing
The fruit of the labor is rotting to the core
you came to steal your guts
now you are mopping up the floor

I have to stay on the grind
rearranging my rhymes
find a way to fill the space between the page and my mind
Nowadays when I see your face it reminds
that death can come today, I’m I wasting my time
You know I look at that lake and I choke
don’t know how to cope
don’t know how to end in a positive note
I know now even if we burn, we will float
above this like smoke,
Life’s not a ***** it’s a joke
ashes to ashes burn my flesh
I’m trying to blow your mind off your neck
but the only way to shine is with a long day's sweat
so short, but the dream is beyond paychecks
You’re going to see me on a CD with Kanye West
and then Jay Z, Beyonce’s next
but today leads tomorrow, it’s a long conquest
and so you grip that mic, and your palm may sweat
You know the devil has a God complex .
So,
have you heard the story about my time in Satan’s seat
sat in sheets, lazy days and complacency

Everyday is the earth’s revolution
Life’s a gift
it’s a death that you’re choosing
I leave them wanting more
I hope they’re wanting more
until the day of death
he’ll be knocking at your door

Everyday is the earth’s revolution
Life’s a gift
it’s a death that you’re choosing
The fruit of the labor is rotting to the core
you came to steal your guts
now you are mopping up the floor

If I could rewind time
put that minute in reverse
quick decision to go swimming
keep you living on this earth  
If I could find lines
I would spit them in a verse
spitting image of your vision
would be finishing your work…….

If I could rewind time
put that minute in reverse
quick decision to go swimming
keep you living on this earth  
If I could find lines
I would spit them in a verse
spitting image of your vision
would be finishing your work…...

If I could rewind time
put that minute in reverse
quick decision to go swimming
keep you living on this earth  
If I could find lines
I would spit them in a verse
spitting image of your vision
would be finishing your work…..

Love Like This
King Bacon Feb 2016
This is for you….

She’s like my favorite poem over a K West beat.
Make me want to hit repeat, every time I hear her speak.
Messing up the entropy, whenever she is next to me.
I swear when our lips touch I ******* favorite poetry,
and your two cents is all you have to spend on me.
A greater understanding of foundation, you’re so smart for me.
Baby what you do to me?
You got me feelin' you,
cuz recently all I talk about is just you and me.

Your on my mind 24/7 kind of rhyme scheme,
Every song I write is a new reason you should love me!
See before I met you,  
all I talk about was politics the problem is
I never got the logic from the opposite you offered it.
Why do I sing I love you?
If a card can say the same thing.
What if I had words that always made you dance and sing
cuz listen how you make me feel,
I know is something bigger,
I’m vulnerable
and I’m waiting for your hugs later like…

l love like this
I never knew I could love like this  
It must be love if I feel like this
I never knew I could love like this  
l love like this
I never knew I could love like this  
It must be love if I feel like this

America
King Bacon Nov 2014
"This innocent country set you down in a ghetto in which, in fact, it intended that you should perish… You were born into a society which spelled out with brutal clarity, and in as many ways as possible, that you were a worthless human being. You were not expected to aspire to excellence: you were expected to make peace with mediocrity." - Baldwin

Empty Page
King Bacon Oct 2014
For as long as I can remember I’ve been staring at an empty page.
It glares back at me blankly as if to say nothing,
but there is no language as universal as its silence.
No better way to quell a pens potential than to juck oppose
its ink to the white walls where it is told, home is to be found.
The opposite of everything its ever been.

Im trying to explain potential to a trembling pen, but I don’t know where to start.
It is 5AM, my page is still empty.
There is something hostile about the stiffness of its margins,
familiar as the space between school bells as the expectations of strangers.
It has been this way for so long that my pen is convince of inklessness.

Its mouth is running dry,
its knees are trembling,
it is angry,
I can’t blame it.

I want to tell it that this paper is not an enemy, but I am not so sure if thats true.
Because i’ve been here enough times to recognize the subtle venom of white walls.
and in truth there is little accidently in the way its learn to hate expectations,
to sniff out their animosity, to run from them.
There is a few limits on what a pen can do in empty pages.

build, and destroy
move and stay still
mostly they can make mistakes,
they cannot erase them.

I struggle to find the words to explain that they cannot fight back in battles they fled from.
That they are not meant to feel so empty on accident.
Its 5 AM and my page is still empty I cannot find a moral worth writing.
There is no space in what needs to be said in its margins,
but there is nothing to lose in trying.
There is everything to lose in absence.

The Kids From The Street
King Bacon Jan 2015
In honor,
I protect what grows
Take care of the kids from the street
from their head to their toes

When those kid becomes famous
remember that  King Bacon
was the first one to denote.

His incredible adventure of bread and chocolate
putting a star on the site of hunger.
otherwise it is useless
otherwise it is absurd
rehearse the songs of the earth
do not be catch with a slurred
because there is no use if there is a child in the street.
Unloved
and Unheard

All of the toxins
from my country
enter through my nose
I wash cars
I wash shoes
but I have never seen a show
I steal wallets
I steal clothes
but I never stole a smile
I swear I'm a nice kid
God made me versatile

Rain without roof
Nails against the soil
I'm what mathematics
does not want to proof
I am the leftovers of war
societies’ eyesore
I am a hungry stomach
A knee that's injured
that is only cured by the cold of winter

I am the best tour guides of the city
I’ll even show you the ghettos
but you're probably not curious of me
and dying to see the meadows
I don’t need a passport to fly with the planes,
I’ll take your litter and make my own paper planes!
Cars out of stone, wine out of mud,
Do you think I know, what's unkind?
And what I can’t make i’ll imagine it in my mind

I walk barefoot over the world
swinging my arms
faster I twirl
get on the train
to laughter lane
I'm a kid from the street
who barely knows his name

When night falls I sleep awake
one eye closed and the other has a slight break.
Just in case the tigers get me
I’ll swing free like the spider monkey

Poor are those who forgotten the kids of the street
There are millions of children living on the street
Their eyes and hearts makes an interesting fable
they tried their best but they aren't able
put them in schools and don’t be hesitant
cause' you never know who will be  the next president.

Lemon
King Bacon Oct 2014
"My brother, you could be a Christian
And go from being Catholic to being confused
To knowing the only way is to fear God
And you got nothing to lose, everything to gain
Can I get a witness?

But you got to believe in something
You got to believe in something
Or you will be a rhythmless void
So here’s a toast to my God
And all of y’all who played a yard
May your word be born and may you find
That the Lord may not come when you call
But he’s always on time"

The Pig Who Flew
King Bacon Nov 2014
So heavy
so light

Its beak cuts through resistance
it makes you question physics
the butterflies in my stomach
are now flying with me.

My next goal is the moon,
but
Some ants in the ground
will never see this view.

Walking
King Bacon Nov 2014
I inspected the dirt road in front of me
I depend on it
I need it to reach my destination
I adventured with six colleagues
I and them try to reach the top.

One by one each fly was swatted
by their own misunderstanding of pain,
My curiosity on pain tolerance baffled me
The earth’s lap around the sun was coming to an end
but I must finish first

I began to scamper away from fear.
The higher I traveled
the closer I felt to the him,
the privilege of mystery was on my favor
because I knew not where I was going
but the path seemed to whisper,
“Trust me, he is right this way”

As I caught my breath
I looked around
and saw emptiness,
but felt full inside.
I hiked slowly over the a mountain I believed was it
then gradually the last hill appeared to my eyes

The final sprint was done
I sat next to a perfect shaped rock
and I began to talk to him
his light began to vanish,
but before he completely disappeared
before his last photon hit the retina of my eye
it made a detour
not into my brain
but into my soul
I visioned the future
the future he has for me
and now
I know what I need to do.

R.I.P
King Bacon Oct 2014
Started off by speaking of
how wonderful the evening was
the bottles were all dusty  
but the morphine was a decent buzz
he slurred all of his words
but I think he kept on speaking of
cause’ he knew I was trying to decypher
what the meaning was
He said

It could be after this epiphany I’m finish
There’s no mystery in existence
the symmetry is consistent
and speaking of the symmetry consistent
how distant
is the difference in divinity
of every God that isn’t

Do you believe that there is a higher power
He said,

Well,
I doubt that there is a heaven
and I don’t believe in hell
but as far as higher power
I know many more than one
I mean I can’t imagine
anyone as mighty as the sun
They could built a bigger light
or light a bigger gun
but you can only run around it
so many laps until you're done.

You’re going to die
and that is why life is all meaningless
you’re life goes by fast though
and that is where all the meaning is

I asked,  “Are you dying?”
He said,

We all are,
We are only in it as long
as we can survive for
you could play a part of it
and live your life behind a lock door
either way you’ll probably be longing
for an encore  

Are you dying?
He said

We all are
We are only in it as long
as we can survive for
you could play a part of it
and live your life behind a lock door
either way you’ll probably be longing
for an encore  

Thinking about you now
choking on them memories
If you would of told me
to stop smoking
I would of done it eventually

Yo Jon  
was always there in late nights
waiting on some sleep
till the penetrating daylight
it came bright and early
we started to embrace life
in a new way
started living every day like
his last because’ he knew
the end would come fast  
and we knew that he was right
but we never really ask
what would happen
if it happen
couldn’t fathom a reaction
if one day he was laughing
and relaxing
and the next day
he vanish left his body
on this planet
and I took him for granted
that I couldn't really understand it
We agreed that the meaning of life was
unforeseeable like
what would be
the freedom of night
you lived well homie
I learned a lot from you rest in peace  
You’ll be missed
but its time that you
get some sleep

I asked,  “Are you dying?”
He said,

We all are,
We are only in it as long
as we can survive for
you could play a part of it
and live your life behind a lock door
either way you’ll probably be longing
for an encore  

I asked,  “Are you dying?”
He said,

We all are,
We are only in it as long
as we can survive for
You probably never knew
what you want
what you want for,
when you get it though
You probably gonna
want more.

I asked,  “Are you dying?”
He said,

We all are,
We are only in it as long
as we can survive for
you could play a part of it
and live your life behind a lock door
either way you’ll probably be longing
for an encore  

Are you dying?
We all are…

We all are…

we all are….

Reality
King Bacon Oct 2014
Reality is gone again be cautious when you're swallowing the toxins
In a way that makes your lungs believe it's oxygen.
It's unhealthy, I know because they tell me I get lost within
The fog, but when I'm wandering God never felt so heavy.
Exhale, what's a cross to a christ?
I think as my smoke gets lost in the night,
I watch a moth that thought he was right,
Flock towards the light, drop from his height,
Even hindsight gets lost with its life
It's quite a fine line between rotten and ripe.
When each day's the same thing, the pain that each day brings,
Won't go away, but it may fade into a faint sting,
No matter how much change collection plates may bring,
Soldiers start marching in when the proud saints sing,
Painting on an angel face, collecting feathers, made wings
Idolized 'til praying hands became the devil's playthings.

It seems strange the way the scenes change while repeating
Replay, cliches disguised before a greenscreen.
If there's no end, then the mean seems suspiciously
Dependent on the missing slash fictitious bits of history
Ideas like divinity, religiously were underscored,
Resources were the forces that had both begun and won the war.
So whats the score? Far as I can tell, same as it was before
Suffer for, more forbidden fruit but rarely touch the core.
Coming up, from the floor, People taking from the poor
Exporting it with disproportionate rewards and nothing more,
I wonder what the money's for, what's everybody running for?
If I would love my muscles more, comfortably numb or sore.
But this is just the business, counterfeiting twisted smiles
Optimistic, bound to fit in if I live in single file
Children growing cynical within a vicious cycle
Feeling like what's worst in life is critical to his survival.

Those most viciously afflicted with the sickness are the symptomless
The most prolific vivid vision's typically the simplest,
It's amazing what you see when you bother to look,
Dividends of fishermen got caught in the hook,
Of his line, while his mind got lost in a book,
Now he's lost in his lines, lawfully rob from the crook,
I guess he saw his time was borrowed, only so long you can follow
Only so many fine wines that you could swallow,
My intent instead is to reject what uncle Simon says,
My defiant rhyming dialect is just a side effect,
People walk around like walking dead more than a minor threat,
How you gonna **** a talking head when you can't find a neck?
I suggest that you protect your mind instead, cause mindless men
Think that they're the brightest cause the light switch in the lion's den
They've kind of been confined within is on so high it blinded them,
Moths go flying towards those kinds of lights and then they die in them

Talking
King Bacon Oct 2014
When I was younger I wanted a big houses with hot cars
but then I learn things in the screens will never be ours
I look over the mountain and the dream ain't far
where I’m from the Geto boys are the rock stars
In the day fancy cars, in the night cop cars
I know they want me behind bars.

What did he say?
That nothing's ever promised tomorrow, but today
You're from the city where living is a harder way
So you should dedicate your life like Jesus say
but God, before you give me a vocation today
Can you raise my Dad from minimum wage?
And I know the United States Administer aids
So should I just keep praying like my minister say?

They say people in your life are like seasons
and anything that happens is for a reason
But brothers keep clapping and your squeezing
while my mother keeps praying, she’s still believing

And Jesus the one day that i'll see him
i’ll put his shoes on and try to be him
the devil is alive I hear him breathin’
Claiming love is the only key, so ill keep on dreamin’
Please tell me about love I know you're teasing...

— The End —
