Slow Pain
Tim Jan 2021
Slow-going wheels roll further
Slow men walk the earth chewing french fries
Slow night diminish slow, with an embarked illusion
Slow me, drinking slow, from the bottle that no shining fear dive deep down
With ******* my life dangles, my hands weak and wildered
With somebody in my mind, I slowly, subconciously **** myself
Somebody betrays somebody, denies her name, or his
Denies the carnaval-looking blur of a dreadful pain
Carnavals, haven’t been to carnavals for years, but I know how they dismay
I’m aware of myself at some degree, it satisfies me for I can look up and stray
I’m aware of the passion of my source of pain, yet I don’t know
It makes me shiver like an aimless stone
Pain walks upon the geography

Slow rhymes mask my voice through an unwalked scenery
Slow songs hit my soul like the smell of gasoline, each night, tonight
Tonight I struggle to find my bed in guilt of missing one more day, being loss of control on one more chance
One more glance, I prayed my dandy days to be, yet I don’t believe
And I don’t trust in anything that I admire, that I’ve never had, tonight especially
My abilities burn, burn, burn to a crimson coldness, I can neither get cold nor freeze
Every dismal day has something to teach, but I’m stone deaf and blind since the birth of my criminal being
Said that I’m one old tryer, one slow man that died earlier, living via senses
I’m breathing for nothing, as I sensed, at least that’s a good thing I guess
Tonight, I’m breathing my own graceless dirt, I’m breathing someone that will become me of some other kind
Pain barks its all greed

I was told of slow massacres of liberty, and I saw it with my bare eyes
I was told of slow tensions that could shape an affair from my fears of love, but I didn’t mind until the time I got clipsed to the iron bars as I tossed to someone’s wall
I got clipsed to myself all along the snipers’ castles where the mushrooms just fix to die, the point I always teased myself
There’s always been slow approachings to a mind’s eye felony
There’s always been a slow matter of time to catch the agony of others’ existence, even when I appreciated with someone that didn’t mean to mean good, or meant to be fine
Decades sewed blisters on my elbows, knees, my manhood, my ******* manhood
And my functional sides started not to make a beneficial man out of me, it’s clear tonight
I see a barroom right across the buildings in front, it boils with such huge river of crowds, but I don’t really want to walk there because of pain
It pours my skin down to the ground like as an axe shaving me off me
The air’s already blue now, blue as a kidnapped kid’s wishes from the little circle of life
I’m blue but I can’t get mixed up to the airwaves as long as I try to sharpen myself
I try to sharpen myself with the most lobed piece of stick, and this causes everything I abandoned to be a nightmare in my sleep, and my daytime ramblings, and it causes a killing pain
Pain disregards

Slow strings of reality judder this up that down, clang all the faith one man has once althrough his wasted life
Slow links of chain drags the cruelty from the claws of a cryptic eastward state
There’s no boundries through from everything I know to nothing I don’t know
Idols and spooned clowns look the same, sleeves of lies put them onto an act and they resurrect on my small buzzing TV
Everything can make a man commit suicide, as far as all I’ve learned from life
As far as I can teach, amountless glasses of whiskey solves that if someone looks for an easy way out
To get away from the streetlamps that targeted you, to brick up some brand new shelter against the interrogations, to be on the lam, to run, slowly
To leave the other sycophants on the midway, to break some glasses, to craft some endless rebellion, are the other options I guess
To bless someone that don’t even care, and then the lifelong heart attacks...
I don’t pay to much to my custody of survival, I have my own property on this sphere
I can pull out some dignity, as I have it on my mind, and this just gives men like me pain
Pain doesn’t tell much these days, it just attacks and attaches and grabs me by taking firm steps towards my bones
The unbreakable threads of my shadows push me to same pathetic nosedives, tonight I feel it intensively, befriending with pain
Pain, it speaks my eulogy
Slow pain, it wrecks my fantasies

Have you ever loved someone who didn't love you back?
Have you ever loved someone who fell through the crack?
Have you ever loved someone too drunk to see?
Have you ever loved someone like... me?

My blank wall is white just to fit your name
My disc is scratched cos it played your game
my minds all ******* cos you're in my life
The only thing left is to pull out the knife

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast

Don't let it bother you, let it all go
Move soft and gently, go with the flow
Your a pernament thought in my head
Your a space waiting in my bed

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast

I just can't take it, it's got too much
I need to know, if I can touch
I'ts too late now, to start that game
I just can't put a face to that name

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast

Nothings quite the same now
When i say your name out loud
I'm falling back, into the dark
Becoming one of the crowd
I'm always feeling lonely
But i'm never alone
Got nobody to love me
No house to call a home

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast

This is not a race
Some filth disgrace
This is love so let it show
Come on little girl and take it slow

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast
Slow down girl, you move to fast

The name of this tune is Mississippi ******
And I mean every word of it

Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi ******

Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi ******

Can't you see it
Can't you feel it
It's all in the air
I can't stand the pressure much longer
Somebody say a prayer

Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi ******

This is a show tune
But the show hasn't been written for it, yet

Hound dogs on my trail
School children sitting in jail
Black cat cross my path
I think every day's gonna be my last

Lord have mercy on this land of mine
We all gonna get it in due time
I don't belong here
I don't belong there
I've even stopped believing in prayer

Don't tell me
I tell you
Me and my people just about due
I've been there so I know
They keep on saying "Go slow!"

But that's just the trouble
"do it slow"
Washing the windows
"do it slow"
Picking the cotton
"do it slow"
You're just plain rotten
"do it slow"
You're too **** lazy
"do it slow"
The thinking's crazy
"do it slow"
Where am I going
What am I doing
I don't know
I don't know

Just try to do your very best
Stand up be counted with all the rest
For everybody knows about Mississippi ******

I made you thought I was kiddin'

Picket lines
School boy cots
They try to say it's a communist plot
All I want is equality
for my sister my brother my people and me

Yes you lied to me all these years
You told me to wash and clean my ears
And talk real fine just like a lady
And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie

Oh but this whole country is full of lies
You're all gonna die and die like flies
I don't trust you any more
You keep on saying "Go slow!"
"Go slow!"

But that's just the trouble
"do it slow"
Desegregation
"do it slow"
Mass participation
"do it slow"
Reunification
"do it slow"
Do things gradually
"do it slow"
But bring more tragedy
"do it slow"
Why don't you see it
Why don't you feel it
I don't know
I don't know

You don't have to live next to me
Just give me my equality
Everybody knows about Mississippi
Everybody knows about Alabama
Everybody knows about Mississippi ******

That's it!
Nina Simone

That’s what they say they say,
too slow.
That’s what I see,
too slow.
That’s what I am,
too slow.
I wish I could take things in,
too slow.
I let things pass unnoticed,
too slow.
they say that’s just the trouble.
My people are building,
too slow.
My people are dieing,
too slow.
Kindness and justice come,
too slow.
Forgiveness outdoes sin,
too slow.
I say my part too slow,
too slow.
And I make my decisions,
too slow.
That’s what they say they say,
too slow.
Based on a Nina Simone song titled "Mississippi *******"

The incandescent Sun
is eating itself alive

They said it's too slow to matter
too slow to matter

The helium will compact
to a carbon red giant's core

They said it's too slow to matter
too slow to matter

The Earth's heat is depleted
by geothermal extraction

They said it's too slow to matter
too slow to matter

The geysers are drying up
and the pressure sinks in subsidence

They said it's too slow to matter
too slow to matter

The permafrost decomposes
and prehistoric methane effervesces

They said it's too slow to matter
too slow to matter

The Yellowstone caldera hisses
plumes of taunting toxic gases

They said it's too slow to matter
too slow to matter

The sea-floor volcanoes
purge their way to the surface

They said it's too slow to matter
too slow to matter

The aurora lights the sky
as solar wind ravages the magnetosphere

They said it's too small to matter
too small to matter

when we share time
it moves fast and slow
and fast and slow
at the same time
when our hearts beat
they drum fast and slow
and fast and slow
at the same time
when our lips breathe
they speak fast and slow
and fast and slow
at the same time
when our hands meet
they feel fast & slow
and fast and slow
at the same time
when we make love
we fall fast and slow
and fast and slow
at the same time
when our souls become one
they dance fast and slow
and fast and slow
at the same time

Bang bang
***** die slow
There’s more to hip hop
Than that ya know
It’s more than the bling
Some ****** show
More than the cribs
The cars or the dough
The culture’s diverse
And you need to know
It’s more than the **** shakin
You’ll always see
On certain shows
On the cable TV
It’s more than the dissin
The fights and braggin rights

Bang bang
***** die slow
I’m only sayin
What ya already know

Bang bang
***** die slow
We’re checkin for content
As well as for flow
You’re pimpin the game
And the homies know
You’re talkin ‘bout places
That you’ll never go
Talkin ‘bout crimes
You never committed
And it’s about time
To fess-up and admit it
Here is the deal
You need to yield
Cos it’s gettin too real
In the field

Bang bang
***** die slow
I’m only sayin
What ya already know

Bang bang
***** die slow
Ya namean
Let me give ya the low
Some name themselves
After I-talian criminals
Sending public messages
That attacks the subliminal
Then start complainin
Once they get popped
And the uninformed
Blame it on hip hop
And it’s not fair
That hip hop takes the blame
For some of you out there
That I could name

Bang bang
***** die slow
I’m only sayin
What ya already know

Bang bang
***** die slow
It’s about to be a rap
For the rap game (yo)
Rap is spiralin further
Out of control
And the government now
Sees itself in the role
Of overseer or regulator
Ya knew it would happen
Sooner or later
If you go on trial
You won’t be around
That’s their way of keepin
The Black man down
All you have to do is jus look around

Bang bang
***** die slow
I’m only sayin
What ya already know

Bang bang
***** die slow
All it takes for you to be
Good to go
Is a mouth full of platinum
And a video **
There’s more to life
Than that you know
Don’t let me be the one
To say I told you so
Cos the seeds you’re plantin
Are kinda rough to ***
But you’re convinced
That you are it
And a ****** like me
Can’t tell you ****

Bang bang
***** die slow
I’m only sayin
What ya already know

Bang bang
***** die slow
There’s more to hip hop
Than that ya know
It’s more than the bling
Some ****** show
More than the cribs
The cars or the dough
The culture’s diverse
And you need to know
It’s more than the **** shakin
You’ll always see
On certain shows
On the cable TV
It’s more than the dissin
The fights and braggin rights

Drive it slow---ly
Drive it slow---ly
I need that beat.
Drive it slow---ly
Drive it slow---ly
I need that beat
I need that data
Want you to hard drive that
Bass right through me...
I need to feel it in my chest.
Till we in sync
Like the old boy band.
Put my *** to sleep
Like I got the itis.
That's good music.

(Guy)
Take my hand and pull me
Up to your constellation
Baby give me that confirmation
That it's me you've been wantin.
Give me that peace of mind
That I can trust you to
Keep me in mind like I'm in sight
When I'm out of sight
Show me the truth Don't want lies
Don't need darkness need light.
Dont want your cold, want that fire
That's ardent yes that's my delight.
And it's crazy that we match up
And you talk to me only words
Meant for me my ears only
Your voice inflections
Those vibrations
Set just right for me.
So.


Drive it slow---ly
Drive it slow---ly
I need that beat.
Drive it slow---ly
Drive it slow---ly
I need that beat
I need that data
Want you to hard drive that
Bass right through me...
I need to feel it in my chest.
Till we in sync
Like the old boy band.
Put my *** to sleep
Like I got the itis.
That's good music

(Girl)
Treat me tender treat me rough
Like your guitar strings.
I don't need to repeat.
Must I keep reminding?
I'm a woman and I talk tough
Cause I can back it up.
But I like when you talk me up
To a pedestal.
Been known that that's where I belong
High minded, a little arrogant but
I know what I want.
Didn't know you could take me higher.
Take me up to tell stars where you at
Put me up in the sun.
Just you and me and this heat.
I love that this language we speak
Is a language only we speak.
Innuendos laughter and free
Treat my body musically.

Drive it slow---ly
Drive it slow---ly
I need that beat.
Drive it slow---ly
Drive it slow---ly
I need that beat
I need that data
Want you to hard drive that
Bass right through me...
I need to feel it in my chest.
Till we in sync
Like the old boy band.
Put my *** to sleep
Like I got the itis.
That's good music

Finally she ***** me.
Good.
on her stomach first and then on her back.
Slow slow shallow slow.
Slow slow slower deeper slow.
An inch a grip a sense a wish.
Wet yes wetter not yet so slow.
slow shallow slow deeper than shallow but still just a bit to make her nip.
A little slower if possible.
Just to thicken It a bit before deep deep shallow slow slow.
Slow as she grinds counterclockwise on the hour.
On the minute.
At this second.
deeper but slowly deeper unregrets.
Ml casa se ti gators.
Be Diego Till next birthday.
