I don't feel the
I don't feel the
I don't feel the pain no more
I don't feel the need to lie no more
I can not take this no more
Drank in my cup I need some more
Whatever liquor, I don't care
Just pour, pour, pour some more
Drinking till I end up on the floor
Pain in my eyes
Homie they don't lie
Praying to a nobody in the sky
Deadbeat God tell me why
You created a world where evil thrives
And not one where the good outshines
Ohh tell me why
You let all these innocent children die
I'm on the ropes
I'm pouring out my soul
I feel so alone.
I'm searching for hope.

You know it. I drop BOMBS like a B-52,
Drop psalms like a Bible off the back of the pew,
Stay calm, like the '80s stay trippin' on 'ludes,
Like the 90s stay trippin' bringin' me here to you.

That's how I do it, you know I keep it fluid,
I flow so smooth, all my verbiage is fluent,
No verse hits late, no syllables truant,
Got my angles all lined up, spitting congruence -

And I bet you didn't ask about my transcript, fam,
And I know you judged a book by its cover, ****,
And I bet you didn't think I'd call you out right here,
Start addressing with respect as though we're peers, no fear,
But here it is. Some folks stay out at night to reach for stars,
I go home to dodge the fools askin' me to drop bars.
This isn't the question I'm asked more than any other, but it sure does come up a lot!

I’d like to say I’ll see you around
but I know it’s the not the truth.
My time is up. Thy divine I trust.
I lay to rest my woeful youth.

I’ve chosen you to follow through
with every single molecule
deliver the final blow
like Apollo Crews.

The hollow truth
will swallow you
like it did your ardent youth.
Though I’m starving too

I was guarding you
from the garden tomb.

I’m sorry darling,
but your youth must bloom.

i lost my identity
to a friend of me
but it's alright,
we all got our tendencies.
maybe it was not meant to be
but you meant to me
a lot more than the time
you spent on your knees.
not to whine but i can't
get you out of my mind.
think i'm out my right mind
thinking bout what's left
i thought it was high time
to get things off my chest.

My music is like Velcro:
hooks and loops fastened together.

You're one in a million, one of a kind,
The one thing that never leaves my mind,
I spent my whole life trying to find,
Someone like you; gentle and kind.
Now that I have I know there's no way,
I could leave you, no words can convey,
How special you are, what I'm trying to say,
Is no matter what happens I'm gonna stay.
No chaos could ever pull me away,
You are more than my man, you're my soulmate.
Your arms are now my permanent home,
I know I will never again feel alone,
Your heart is only mine to own,
I won't ever give you a reason to roam,
It's clear to me these feelings have grown,
The bond we share is solid like stone,
When you call I will always pick up the phone.
I wish I had an explanation for the way
I feel. I don't, but I'll try anyway.

HOOK:
When I wake up you are the first thought on my mind,
Your face the last image I see before night leaves me blind,
You keep my worries low, and my hopes high,
You are my favorite hello and hardest goodbye.

I love having you around, it's true,
I wish I spent every second with you,
I hate that I am not able to,
Give you the support I know is past due,
Or finish all the things you need me to do,
But you give me motivation to improve,
And one day soon I'm certain I will be
The version of myself you see inside me,
That's when our lives will finally
Become what we envisioned; simple and easy.
Then we'll get married, pick a place and settle down,
Build a house, start a family, in a sleepy little town.
Let's grow old together, just us two,
I found my happily ever after in you.

HOOK

I know there will be troubles, we'll fight,
But when it's darkest I'll be your light,
The future is coming, clear and in sight,
Give me your hand, let me hold it tight,
Understand that although this moment right
now might not be happy and bright,
There is much more in store, i am quite
Sure of this, we'll prevail despite
Obstacles, let's keep eachother upright,
Until the day our dreams take flight,
And take us both to greater heights,
Our destiny is a book, pages blank and white,
A story only we are able to write,
Instead of a novel doomed to recite,
Perpetual fates. As long as we unite
We can take on the haters with their spite,
I'm excited, I strike a match and ignite,
The fuse leading to your hearts dynamite,
Hoping an explosion of love is what I incite,
Or at least a spark of mutual delight.

I promise one day everything will be alright,
Tomorrow isnt promised but at least we have tonight.
For my boyfriend.

I look at you now
Yeah what I used to see
Is breaking me down
Why ain't you like you used to be?
Still beautiful as ever, yet I feel no unity
Usually, I just feel like you're using me
You're telling me you love me, yeah, from the lips of your mouth
But honestly, honesty isn't what I think's coming out
Seems the people you love the most, push you down, let you go
That's why I'm here to let you know, we lie to people just for show
You pretend you care, but really it don't bother you
Wonder if it will when I decide to say goodbye to you
I'm trying to fix it, what you think I'm trying to do?
You don't like my attitude, then wonder why I'm mad at you
I've had enough of it
My heart, you ain't touching it
You say you're in love with it
But really, you're crushing it
I don't hate you, I'm just trying to understand how you feel
There ain't no point of continuing this if it ain't even real
Reminds me of my former best friend. Dunno why I'm so moody about her lately.

Just posting it because I can relate.

such a precious child
with the freshest smile
i'll walk miles through the storm,
just to feel your warmth.

i’m a reckless child
though i'll reconcile
once the moon rises
oe'r your brown iris

i miss the taste of your lips,
your waist and your hips,
the way you brushed
my hair with your fingertips.
