I'm in pain....so my rain is dry ...but my bitterness is sweet...as my love starts to lie...claiming to be true...What will emptiness do...to wet my ground...I feel i need to spit...On that which I claimed...cuz it demoraled my name...and paid me a love counterfit...But it felt so real...that i felt the tears...How can a fake,..cause so much heartache...Soured kisses...like spoiled milk...cuz i gave the phoney replaca everything...And I just blew candles and wasted wishes...On these fresh sheets of silk...Cuz I wasn't getting anything...For wood spray painted gold...All it was,was a good space hold...Cuz the room was kinda empty before...But who wants to fill there space with clutter...I want some substance...Value, in this depression...But I guess it hard to find real love when the world is in a recession...

To remember the thrill is to feel,
to sense that is preserved in the intellect.
To create the emotion is to feel,
to know that you can counterfit, even if it is sincere.
To live the sentiment is to feel,
to relish being alive.

The ceaseless search
for something unknown;
The reaction of rationalization
before the event;
The result of intellectualization
is mental mill.

Yearning for old times
'causes boredom.
Anguish of past times
'causes dismay.
Boredom and dismay
'causes unrest.

These are the words of a restless mind.
Off and on, reports of dreams to find.
No matter how messed up it is,
Blessed be the unrest.

See I know. love is always wanted.
rarely given, but always made.
but you don't need it.
You a ****,
You let hoes hold your relationships back like leashes do
And ya homies the same counselors in ****** up relationships or they single

Sellin false images.
you counterfit.
& it's not my fault if the shoe fits,
not my fault that i'm preaching in general and you sittin,
thinking... "****, i do this"
I'm just throwing it out there, & when it lands, I can't help if you get hit
I'm just tryna educate, but the price to pay is knowledge
and that's too expensive
so most of yall won't buy it
you'on need love?
maybe you just can't find it

A shawty that's
down with the lectures when you need to talk
and the shade when it gets hotter
She'll add the seeds to ya garden, then money showers for water

What are your weaknesses? What are her strengths.  Are you..strong enough to be the sand and allow her to be the open hand...you, seep through, can you trust her? can she see you.  you see a woman is someone strong enough to bare the adolescents that men carry, crafting all the material


See, love is like a dream fixed in hell
you've got to take your time and exhale before you
excel your highest peak
gotta hope she real enough to hand you her soul
like "here baby take peek"

open up this box of secrets, and you'll see how a rock forms into a diamond when compressed under the toughest terrain, cause unlike this diamond, your thinkin like a pebble... like the hard of the floor, put your heart heart on the floor and kneel before a queen,  your faith
Love. Love is sometimes idolized but, idle eyes will blink past  the lightning in it's strike but
I get it, you young
yeah i get it, cause that love **** ain't always sweet
and love ain't minute maid

no matter how many lemons life gives you,
you ain't goin far if you can't learn to make lemonade.

To the pressure, everything's like an illusion
I'll be gone.....
I'll be losing yooooooooooooou......
before long..... before long... before long....


[verse 1]
Not forgetting ****. Big on it too. Like an elephant.
It's obvious and evident. All sides of me in my element.
I'ma specialist-expressionist, still far behind in my development.
If it ain't saving my son, senses, children & women!?
Then **** me. It's irrelevant!!
Meeting my goals seems impossible and
all before me appears indefinite.
I'm a tormentor. Power unmatched I'm feeling stronger than Obelisk.
Make yo bag boy. I don't even care. ****. My mentality is hella spent.
You gotta keep running tho yo.
I am on a wave with a different feel and flow.
I'm back at it to ball, Bring  greens, yo boy ready to roll.
I stay getting high, when I am feeling low.
My child is half my size at 6 years old
**** where did our time go?
I am not keeping up. That's legit. **** all of that, all of this.
I am not tripping on scripted risks. OOOooh!
What more you want?
I am powering up a super sayian and he's learning from a Spellcasting alchemist!
No, there's no help for me now. None of ya'll can assist.
Find peace between the dark and the light
& come together in order balance it.

Bag it all, til we're all bagless. I am not the one, I am NOT done. Going through all these ******* challenges.
Bag of ****, sometimes, I see myself like my dad, over here not pursuing ****,
Incapable and inadeque. leave everything behind with all regret. Sometimes, I just wanna quit.
Ya'll constantly pass the lines, reducing the grind, hating & always assuming ****..
Real *****. Perfectionist. Persistent. Passionate-pacifist.  
I'll lyrically slaughter you all without having to pass a fist!
You worse than over the counter drugs. Cut throat with your fakeness.
You **** with the vision, yet you cannot see it all visibly or vividly.
Realistically. Ya'll don't even count cause most of you are  COUNTERFIT.
Am I winning? Yo, not gonna lie, inside my mind I am losing it.
Their true colors will always come out no need for blueprints
Fire in the summer time, I'm nowhere near cooling it.
War with all sins, in every dimension that exist
I don't wanna live. I don't wanna die.
I rather be me before my child, I'd offer my soul to be a Catalyst.

To the pressure, everything's like an illusion
I'll be gone.....
I'll be losing yooooooooooooou......
before long..... before long... before long....

Our differences makes us unique
Just as I mentioned how our imperfections
Creates our individual perfection
Step up to the club,
Like im the man,
Dennis Rodman, but no rebound man,
Yall others gotta take a stand,
Witness the band,
Neptunes, providin' the beat goons, makes for moonsoon,
Floodin' the rooms,
Once the lyrics boom,
Inside ya nostrils, like perfume,
Sweeped like a broom,
Hook got cha consumed,
Feel the dance that zooms,
Inside ya body,
****** shots, of adrenaline, front maids to middle men,
Throw ya chips in,
No need for clips in,
We get it crackin', smackin, critics who say wack we was then,
Bumpin, cadillac music
Country *******,
Still ridin' twinkies on the truck, press ya luck, make all haters duck,
These gooses showin' trueces,
Once my team infiltrate,
Y'all cant shoot us,


Now we know you aint about nothin,
Make ya jump more than Joe Budden,
On these rhymes, we stay cuttin,
Sound the percussion,
End of discussion,
Smoother than David Ruffin,
Critics stay bluffin,
Madel cuz we made somethin',
Out of nothin,
Now all of sudden, they see the charts smokin,
Once i was set on fire, respect the sire, referred to as the Messiah,
Messa similar to Telsa,
And i dare ya,
To step on this, track and field, let these words shield,
If eyes could ****,
Itll be lotta folks with no healz,
Put me in jail, and ill still bail,
Out with counterfit bills,
I Keeps it real, like flesh hots bullets of the steel,
My ambition tryna reach to a bill,
Without courts tryna get a steal,



Girls crowdin' around me,
Latinas call me papi,
Still sip the Brugal,
But never sloppy,
We call head toppy,
To the leechers, tryna copy,
My styles is incredible,
Non-edible,
You ***** pitiful, put it back to rehearsal,
Expose those, records labels payin' you, playin' you,
Im bout to gass you,
No lite for flames, rid of lames,
I climb higher,
Than Lebron James, make ya say again,
In the rain like Cain, gather ya ear drums in a sang,
Brains is clang, its clubber time, dropped in the rhyme,
Now its in the divine timeline, greatest beats, of all time,
Pinned like a sign,
Press play then rewind, as ya mind to speech, deeply inclined,

It seems I can't get away from my inevitable destruction

I've tried too many times to counterfit my emotions

And I've searched like a blind man drowning

I've put my best foot forward only to find myself running backward

I've laid my best intentions only to find the road to ruin paved with the best of them

I've said a thousand and more times sorry

Only to end up having to say a thousand times more

I've dared to dream my dreams and grasped only thin air

I've allowed myself to be used and abused time and time again

Like some twisted self flagellation

only to find my self unrepentant without even knowing it

I've hidden from the truth only to find it find me

I've doubled down and doubled myself over it

I've built walls to dam up my failings only to find holes in it

always one hole more than any fingers or toes I've got for it

Troubles always seem to find me and worries never leave my mind

I'm not afraid to cry

And here I am still hopeful I've got one more time left  in me, and the will to try

Who knows, one day I'll win the tittle and maybe...

— The End —
