untitled freestyle

(9-24-11 instrumental)

 

it takes 2 years to forget 6 years,

it takes 12 beers to forget your tears,

and it's those tears that flow so near,

this backyard that you hold so dear,

i held you here in better years,

i'd cheer you up, when i'd hear your fears,

the taste of beer and sky so clear

steer away now, it's in the rear,

view and that feels so cold,

i only see you through untagged photos,

youtubing high school talent shows,

or recitals, it's vital, that no one

actually knows, that i'm caught up

bought to get lost up,

another drink, another think,

i'm just a flawed ****

but i play it cool and act strong,

those other fools won't last long.

 

 

another sad song, i make it better,

got a new chick that's wetter cause

she aint afraid of that weather,

umbrellas discarded, in the bleachers,

teachers, gawking from the sidelines,

it's all fine, it's our time,

no need to dodge landmines...

call me minesweeper,

call me mindreader,

call me timekeeper,

call me justin bieber,

call me baby, baby baby,

call me jay-z, call me kanye,

call me all day, call me homewrecker,

call me and say i can do better,

call me about your sweater,

that's still at my place,

call me ghostface, call me action bronson,

call me hot one, call me ******* loser,

call me a waste of your time,

call me and say that this rhyme's, too simple,

call me jimmy kimmel, sarah silver-man.

i'm a better man, i'm business-man, i'm a gentle-man

i'm stan, writing this down in a crazy letter

no ink, self-mutilation and a feather,

better yet, i'm saying this outloud in the booth,

kick this rap game in the tooth with these red wing boots.
