You told me it was over like this horrible hangover
I got heart full of pride
Playing the games like I’m supposed to be one of these lames
Enough with the gun smoke, don’t crack like this broken yolk
Folk in this plate before it’s too late
Learn to stand tall not to crawl
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
No baby girl, no baby girl now you don’t have to call
Cause’ these feelings are showing like your actions
Pretending you don’t need me but you do
Find another man in your world
And feel cold girl, ice coffee
You feeling cramps in your stomach
Call me when the break is over 1-0-0
This ain’t no emergency
Cause this right here is a sense of urgency
That ring was a promise not a I DO
You acting things are good suddenly
I’m a good man, watch me take a stan
Here’s my loyalty, bet that on my speed dial
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
You used to be stuck on my mind
On my DM’s all the time, yeah
Marriage was something but nothing
Like he did you wrong when like the time he didn’t have for you
You know it went through your head, I'm only arrogant when something not right
I just love to know if you fix the time with me instead
Now you all caught up in the past , yeah
You all thought  up and you done let the feelings hurt you, yeah
Im fed up with cops on me and our arguments
Moved on and met me, wanna be on your side
Slide through quick, I just miss the old thing we had, baby
That’s all I want

See how can I trust them, if I can't trust me?

I'm a young man, my own fan

Most of these individuals are criminals and imbeciles

Writers block (no, I'm going something else)

Lyrical exercise, spiritual energize

Ain't a prisoner of war, but a prisoner with words that's not coincide with hate

Life has been normal than abnormal thoughts were program in my early journals than feeling nocturnal

1) Suddenly
Suddenly...
When you look yourself in the mirror, all you see is a river filled with thriller
Your in eternally dying from all those tears and numb by your horrible fears
See you don't wanna hold on to your guilt but think about a rebuilt
At night, your tossing and turning and can't shake off those burns
Suddenly...
It rains on you, your pain is laying in your brain
Don't be the woman once destroyed by the saddest bullet
I'm dreaming and thinking how you need to burn the past
Last night wasn't the right for to start a fight
Sometimes wished you didn't have to go through hell but put him in jail
Suddenly...
I'm lost in the tunnel, swear life feels like a funnel
Look in the mirror wait, I see my reflection but no connection
Now I'm on one looking for some directions
Over and over you lied, over and over I tried
Suddenly...

Every since I touch the pen, I been cursed
Thinking to myself, how can I destroy this verse
My vision comes with a blueprint building my operations was just a newprint
They say I was a accident ready to happen
Until I came out that lagoon like a I'm water dragon
Respect, respect, respect, been taking notes since 2008
Recover that fumble and wrote my way through the county of humble
My heart was shattered but was replaced with laughter
Ambulances came too late on that date
This day I converted from unspoken to spoken
Life now is such a token ain't nothing gonna make me feel broken
These minutes I'm a suspect of poetry and a suspect of potential

I see people cracked up on fame, they laughing thinking its a game
I say this generation is garbage feel like this generation needs knowledge
Everything is unreal, swear they should lay off that crack and be for real
Instead of getting a education kids get caught with crack and then go on vacation
My heart is unhurt, it can't be hurt, all I can do is just be alert
****
That drug should be toast before they become overdose
Why confused, don't they understand this drug can is not worth to use
One day they would say I should of listen to Tate, but guess what they are too late

Can't forget, the brain unleashed the pain
I'm a Dark Horse creativity coming out that cage with great force

You was so cold, so cold like this winter weather
Not knowing the feeling was painful and stressful
My heart was shattered like a hour glass
Suddenly everybody called me heartless
Memories started to fade away slowly but surely
I remember I took back the promise ring and removed this sting
The color green means go so I go forward and never went backwards
I saw the bright lights, head in a new direction called right
Suddenly my heart was restored but now I'm in record

— The End —
