Alas sais y medya na ng umaga nang makauwi si Natividad mula sa bahay ng kanyang amo. Pagkababa n’ya ng maliit na bag na laman ang kanyang cellphone at wallet na merong labin-limang libo at iilang barya ay marahan siyang naglakad tungo sa kwartong tinutulugan ng kanyang tatlong anak. Hinawi niya ang berdeng kurtina at sumilip sa kanyang mga anghel.
Babae ang panganay ni Natividad, o di kaya’y Vida. Labindalawang taong gulang na ito at nasa Grade 7 na. Isa sa mga malas na naabutan ng pahirap na K-12 program. Ang gitna naman ay sampung taong gulang na lalaki at mayroong down syndrome. Special child ang tawag nila sa batang tulad nito, pero “abnormal” o “abno” naman ang ipinalayaw ng mga lasinggero sa kanila. Ang bunso naman niya, si bunsoy, ay kakatapak lamang ng Grade 1. Pitong taong gulang na ito at ito ang katangkaran sa mga babae sa klase nito. Sabi ng kapwa niya magulang ay late na raw ang edad nito para sa baiting, pero kapag mahirap ka, mas maigi na ang huli kaysa wala.
Nang makitang nahihimbing pa ang mga ito ay tahimik s’yang tumalikod at naglakad papuntang kusina. Ipagluluto niya ang mga anak ng sopas at adobong manok. May mga natira pa namang sangkap na iilang gulay, gatas, at macaroni na galing pa sa bahay ni Kapitan noong nangatulong siya sa paghahanda para sa piyesta. Bumili rin siya ng kalahating kilo na pakpak ng manok, kalahating kilo pa ulit ng atay ng manok, at limang kilo ng bigas.
Inuna niya ang pagsasaing. Umabot pa ng tatlong gatang ang natitirang bigas nila sa pulang timba ng biskwit kaya ‘yun na lang ang ginamit niya. Pagkatapos ay agad niya rin itong pinalitan ng bagong biling bigas.
De-uling pa ang kalan ni Vida kaya inabot siya ng limang minuto bago nakapagpaapoy. Siniguro niyang malakas ang apoy para madaling masaing. Kakaunti na lang kasi ang oras na natitira.
Habang hinihintay na maluto ang kanin ay dumiretso na sa paghahanda ng mga sangkap si Vida. Siniguro niyang tahimik ang bawat kilos para maiwasang magising ang mga anak. Mas mapapatagal lamang kasi kung sasabay pa ang mga ito sa kanyang pagluluto.
Habang hinahati at pinaparami ang manok ay patingin-tingin s’ya sa labas. Inaabangan ang inaasahan niyang mga bisita.
Mukang magtatagal pa sila ah. Ano na kayang balita? Dito lamang naikot ang isip ni Vida sa tuwing nakikitang medyo normal pa sa labas.
May mga potpot na nagbebenta na pan de sal at monay, mga nanay na labas-masok ng kani-kanilang mga bahay dahil tulad niya ay naghahanda rin ng pagkain, at mga lalaking kauuwi lamang sa trabaho o siguro kaya’y galing sa inuman.
Tulog pa ata ang karamihan ng mga bata. Mabuti naman, walang maingay. Hindi magigising ang tatlo.
Binalikan niya ang sinaing at tiningnan kung pupwede na bang hanguin.
Okay na ito. Dapat ako magmadali talaga.
Dali-dali niyang isinalang ang kaserolang may laman na pinira-pirasong manok.
Habang hinihintay na maluto ang manok ay paunti-unti rin siyang naglilinis. Tahimik pa rin ang bawat kilos. Lampas kalahating oras na siyang nakakauwi at ano mang oras ay baka magising ang mga anak niya o di kaya’y dumating ang mga hinihintay n’ya.
Winalis niya ang buong bahay. Maliit lang naman iyon kaya mabilis lamang siyang natapos. Pagkatapos ay marahan siyang naglakad papasok sa maliit nilang tulugan, kinuha ang lumang backpack ng kanyang panganay at sinilid doon ang ilang damit. Tatlong blouse, dalawang mahabang pambaba at isang short. Dinamihan niya ang panloob dahil alanganin na kakaunti lamang ang dala.
Pagkatapos niyang mag-empake ay itinago niya muna backpack sa ilalim ng lababo. Hinango niya na rin ang manok at agad na pinalitan ng palayok na pamana pa sa kanya. Dahil hinanda niya na kanina sa labas ang lahat ng kakailanganin ay dahan dahan niyang sinara ang pinto para hindi marinig mula sa loob ang ingay ng paggigisa.
Bawat kilos niya ay mabilis, halata **** naghahabol ng oras. Kailangang makatapos agad siya para may makain ang tatlo sa paggising nila.
Nang makatapos sa sopas ay agad niya itong ipinasok at ipinatong sa lamesa. Sinigurong nakalapat ang takip para mainit-init pa sakaling tanghaliin ng gising ang mga anak.
Dali-daling hinugasan ang ginamit na kaserola sa paglalaga at agad ulit itong isinalang sa apoy. Atay ng manok ang binili niya para siguradong mas mabilis maluluto. Magandang ipang-ulam ang adobo dahil ma-sarsa, pwede ring ulit-ulitin ang pag-iinit hanggang maubos.
Habang hinihintay na lumambot na ang mga patatas, nakarinig siya ng mga yabag mula sa likuran.
Nandito na sila. Hindi pa tapos ‘tong adobo.
“Vida.” Narinig niyang tawag sa kanya ng pamilyar na boses ng lalaki. Malapit niyang kaibigan si Tobias. Tata Tobi kung tawagin ng mga anak niya. Madalas niya ditong ihabilin ang tatlo kapag kailangan niyang mag-overnight sa bahay ng amo.
“Tobi. Andito na pala kayo,” nginitian niya pa ang dalawang kasama nitong nasa likuran. Tahimik lang ang mga itong nagmamasid sa kanya.
“Hindi pa tapos ang adobo ko eh. Ilalahok ko pa lang ang atay. Pwedeng upo muna kayo doon sa loob? Saglit na lang naman ‘to.”
Mukhang nag-aalangan pa ang dalawa pero tahimik itong kinausap ni Tobi. Maya-maya ay parang pumayag na rin ito at tahimik na naglakad papasok. Narinig niya pang sinabihan ni Tobi ang mga ito na dahan-dahan lamang dahil natutulog ang mga anak niya. Napangiti na lamang siya rito.
Pagkalahok ng atay at tinakpan niya ang kaserola. Tahimik siyang naglakad papasok habang nararamdaman ang pagmamasid sa kanya. Tumungo siya sa lababo at kinuha ang backpack.
Lumapit siya sa mga panauhin at tahimik na dinaluhan ang mga ito tapos ay sabay-sabay nilang pinanood ang usok galing sa adobong atay.
“M-ma’am.” Rinig niyang tawag sa kanya ng kasama ni Tobias. Corazon ang nakaburdang apelyido sa plantsadong uniporme. Mukhang bata pa ito at baguhan.
“Naku, ser. ‘Wag na po ganoon ang itawag niyo sa akin. Alam niyo naman na kung sino ako.” Maraan niyang sabi dito, nahihiya.
“Vida. Pwede ka namang tumanggi.” Si Tobias talaga.
“Tobi naman. Parang hindi ka pamilyar. Tabingi ang tatsulok, Tobias. Alam mo iyan.” Iniiwasan niyang salubungin ang mga mata ni Tobias. Nararamdaman niya kasi ang paninitig nito. Tumatagos. Damang-dama niya sa bawat himaymay ng katawan niya at baka saglit lamang na pagtingin dito ay umiyak na siya.
Kanina niya pa nilulunok ang umaalsang hagulhol dail ayaw niyang magising ang mga anak.
“Vida…” marahang tawag sa kanya ng isa pang kasama ni Tobi. Mukhang mas matanda ito sa Corazon pero halatang mas matanda pa rin ang kaibigan niya.
“Ano ba talaga ang nangyari?”
“Ser…Abit,” mabagal niyang basa sa apelyido nito.
“Ngayon lang po ako nanindigan para sa sarili ko.” garalgal ang boses niya. Nararamdaman niya na ang umaahon na luha.
“Isang beses ko lang po naramdaman na tao ako, ser. At ngayon po iyon. Nakakapangsisi na sa ganitong paraan ko lang nabawi ang pagkatao ko, pero ang mahalaga po ay ang mga anak ko. Mahalaga po sila sa’kin, ser.” mahina lamang ang pagkakasabi niya, sapat na para magkarinigan silang apat.
“Kung mahalaga sila, bakit mo ginawa ‘yon? Vida, bakit ka pumatay?”
Sasagot n asana siya ng marinig niyang kumaluskos ang banig mula sa kuwarto. Lumabas doon ang panganay niyang pupungas-pungas pa. dagli niya itong pinalapit at pinaupo sa kinauupuan niya. Lumuhod siya sa harap nito para magpantay sila.
“Anak. Good morning. Kamusta ang tulog mo?”
“Good morning din, nay. Sino po sila? ‘Ta Tobi?”
“Kaibigan sila ni ‘Ta Tobias, be. Hinihintay nila ako kasi may pupuntahan kami eh.” marahan niyang paliwanag, tinatantya ang bawat salita dahil bagong gising lamang ang anak.
“Saan, nay? May handaan po uli sina ser?” tukoy nito sa mga dati niyang amo.
“Basta ‘nak. Kunin mo muna yung bag ko doon sa lamesa, dali. Kunin ko yung ulam natin mamaya. Masarap yun, be.”
Agad naman itong sumunod habang kinukuha niya na rin ang bagong luto na adobo. Pagkapatong sa lamesa ng ulam ay nilapitan niya ulit ang anak na tinitingnan-tingnan ang tahimik na mga  kasama ni Tobias.
“Be…” tawag niya rito.
Pagkalingon nito sa kanya ay hinawakan niya ang mga kamay nito. Nagsisikip na ang lalamunan niya. Nag-iinit na rin ang mga mata niya at nahihirapan na sa pagbuga ng hangin.
“Be, wala na sina ser. Wala na sila, hindi na nila tayo magugulo.” ngiti niya rito. Namilog naman ang mga mata nito. Halata **** natuwa sa narinig.
“Tahimik na tayo, nay? Hindi na nila kakalampagin ang pinto natin sa gabi?”
“Hindi na siguro, anak. Makakatulog na kayo ng dire-diretso, pangako.” Sinapo niya ang mukha nito tapos ay matunog na hinalikan sa pisngi at noo. ‘Eto na ang matagal niyang pinapangarap na buhay para sa mga anak. Tahimik. Simple. Walang gulo.
“Kaso, ‘nak, kailangan kong sumama sa kanila.” Turo niya kayna Tobias. Nanonood lamang ito sa kanila. Hawak na rin ni Tobi ang backpack niya.
“May ginawa kasi si nanay, be. Para diretso na ang tulog natin at para di na tayo guluhin nina ser. Pramis ko naman sa’yo be, magsasama ulit tayo. Pangako. Bilangin mo ang tulog na hindi tayo magkakasama. Tapos pagbalik ko, hihigitan ko pa ‘yon ng maraming maraming tulog na magkakasama na tayo.”
“Nay…” nagtataka na ang itsura ng anak niya. Namumula na kasi ang mukha niya panigurado. Kakapigil na humagulhol dahil ayaw niyang magising ang dalawa pang anak.
“Anak parang ano lang ito…abroad. Diba may kaklase kang nasa abroad ang nanay? Doon din ako, be.”
Bigla ay nagtubig ang mga mata ng panganay niya. Malalaking butil ng tubig. Hindi niya alam kung naniniwala pa ba ito sa mga sinasabi niya, o kung naiintindihan na nito ang mga nangyayari.
“Itong bag ko, andiyan yung wallet at telepono ko. Diba matagal mo nang gusto magkaroon ng ganon, be? Iyo na ‘yan, basta dapat iingatan mo ha. Yung pera be, kay Tata Tobias mo ihahabilin. Habang nagtatrabaho ako, kay ‘Ta Tobi muna kayo.”
“Nay, hindi ka naman magtatrabaho eh.” Lumabi ang anak niya tapos ay tuluyan nang nalaglag ang luha.
Tinawanan niya naman ito. “Sira, magtatrabaho ako. Basta intayin mo ‘ko be ha? Kayo nina bunsoy ko, ha?” Hindi niya napigilang lambing-lambingin ito na parang batang munti. Kailangan ay sulitin niya ang pagkakataon.
Paulit-ulit niya itong dinampian ng maliliit na halik sa mukha, wala na siyang pakealam kung malasahan niya ang alat ng luha nito. Kailangan ay masulit niya ang natitirang oras.
“Nay, sama po ako. Sama kami ni bunsoy. Tahimik lang kami lagi, pramis, nay. Parang kapag andito si ser, hindi naman kami gugulo doon.” Tuluyan na ngang umalpas ang hikbi niya. Naalala niyang muli ang rason kung ba’t n’ya ito ginagawa. Para sa tahimik na buhay ng mga anak.
“Sus, maniwala sa’yo, be. Basta hintayin mo si nay. ‘Lika ***** tayo doon sa kwarto, magbabye ako kayna bunsoy.” Yakag niya rito. Sumama naman ito sa kanya habang nakayakap sa baywang niya. Humihikbi-hikbi pa rin ito habang naagos ang luha.
Tahimik niyang nilapitan ang dalawa. Kinumutan niyang muli ang mga ito at kinintalan ng masusuyong halik sa mga noo. Bata pa ang mga anak niya. Marami pa silang magagawa. Malayo pa ang mararating nila. Hindi tulad ng mga magulang nila, ‘yun ang sisiguraduhin niya. Hindi ito mapapatulad sa kanila ng mister niya.
“Be, dito ka na lang ha. Alis na si nanay. Alagaan mo sina bunsoy, be, ha. Pati sarili mo. Ang iskul mo anak, kahit hindi ka manguna, ayos lang kay nanay. Hindi naman ako magagalit. Basta gagalingan mo hangga’t kaya mo ha. Mahal kita, be. Kayong tatlo. Mahal na mahal namin kayo.” Mahigpit niya itong niyakap habang paiyak na binubulong ang mga habilin. Wala na ring tigil ang pag-iyak niya kaya agad na siyang tumayo. Baka magising pa ang dalawa.
Nakita niya namang nakaabang sa pinto si Tobi bitbit ang bag niya. Kinuha niya rito ang bag at sinabihang ito na ang bahala sa mga anak. Baog si Tobias at iniwan na ng asawa. Sumama raw sa ibang lalaking mas mayaman pa rito. Kagawad si Tobias sa lugar nila kaya sigurado siyang hindi magugutom ang mga anak niya rito. May tiwala siyang mamahalin ni Tobias na parang sarili nitong mga anak ang tatlo dahil matagal niya na itong nasaksihan.
Pagsakay sa sasakyan kasama ang dalawang pulis na kasama ni Tobias ay saka lamang siya pinosasan ng lalaking may burdang Corazon.
“Kilala namang sindikato yung napatay mo, ma’am. Kulang lamang kami sa ebidensya dahil malakas ang kapit sa taas. Kung sana…sana ay hindi ka nag-iwan ng sulat.”
“Nabuhay ang mga anak kong may duwag na ina, ser. Ayokong lumaki pa sila sa puder ng isang taong walang paninindigan. Pinatay niya na ang asawa ko. Dapat ay sapat na ‘yon na bayad sa utang namin, diba?” kung kanina ay halo humagulhol siya sa harap ng mga anak, ngayon ay walang emosyong mahahamig sa boses niya. Nakatingin lamang siya sa labas at tinititigan ang mga napapatingin sa dumadaang sasakyan ng pulis.
Kung sana ay hindi tinulungan ng mga nakatataas ang amo niya. Kung sana ay nakakalap ng sapat na mga ebidensya ang mga pulis na ngayon ay kasama niya. Kung sana ay may naipambayad sila sa inutang ng asawa niya para pambayad sa panganganak niya.
Kung hindi siguro siya mahirap, baka wala siya rito.

My dear summers dream was to the taste cream
Pass me the triple beam the microphone fiend
Back on the scene simplicity is your complexity
So amazingly like grace I be rockin' the place
Like we Studio 54 shut down the doors
Once the bubbly pours and the **** adores
Ya mental **** ya sentimentals and these new aged millennials
They too satirical I make miracles flow potholes
Creatin' mass mayhem your an inconvenience
Cuz of ya hesitance my presence is known
Without even being shown paragraphs of stone
Hard to crack waxing tracks like a shark attack
Felonious acts we never back down
Til my soul drown in the core of the earth
Royalties since birth new my worth they tried to mirth
At my pain tryna change the game cuz all these cowards
Saying the same thang got dang got dang
Time to chess box like Wu Tang leavin' a stain
On ya reign no tears though I'll be on solo
Rippin' up instrumentals ya know how we do so...yeahhh


From the Sunny to bees that make the honey
Sticky icky like my spliffs be call me smokey
Puttin' fire to mother natures forests check the creases I
unleashes
Rap game mafiaso so so better back back
Or else get dropped lika Domino so here we go!
Here we go!
With the ghetto jams love girls with the derriere's of Pam
Got **** once again it's time to slam
Mics harder than Shawn Kemp ya flows shrimp
That's why ya girl calls me Mr **** no limp
Slick as Rick hello young world tilt and a whirl
Catch the swirl of Qatar Pearls on the neck of ya girl
Suckas better know I'm coming with a blow
Harder than Bowe combined with a super glow
black Saiyan raps slayin' turntables layin'
So I can get wicked lyrics Pickett
like Wilson
Flows in unison formation
of words
Herds a violent surge
feel the purge
We high rising no disguisin'
knockin' out Suckas who jivin' ain't none survivin' ?

Perasaan ini terus bergelung
Bersembunyi di dalam relung.
Seakan mencoba tuk keluar, namun keadaan tak mendukung.
Ia pun lelah akan waktu yang terus berjalan namun berbanding terbalik dengannya
Yang hanya duduk beralaskan rasa percaya
Menatap langit kelabu menunggu turunnya rintikkan hujan pertama.
Walau kerinduannya semakin lama semakin bertambah,
Ia tak pernah bosan untuk membendungnya
Dan menunggu,
Menunggu datangnya hujan.
Karena ia percaya bahwa seberapa besar kerinduannya, seberapa dalam rasa sakitnya, dan seberapa lama ia menanggung deritanya, hujan yang turun akan menyapu bersih luka di relungnya.
Bagaikan obat penawar yang selalu ia temukan saat penyakitnya kembali datang.

Ia tak pernah bosan bercerita kepada langit,
yang dengan setia mendengar celotehannya.
Sambil menunggu turunnya hujan, ia bercerita akan lika liku yang ia alami.
Mendongak menatap langit, dan bercerita.
Sejenak ia dapat mengalihkan perhatiaannya dari hingar bingar sekitar
dan menemukan ketenangannya sendiri.
Yaitu bersama langit, saat menunggu hujan.

Rintikan pertama menerpa wajahnya. berhasil mengangkat sudut-sudut bibirnya.
Ia tersenyum.
Yang ditunggu memang tak pernah datang terlambat.
Diikuti dengan rintikan lainnya dan kemudian hujan turun dengan deras.
Inilah kebahagiaannya.
Namun juga kesedihannya.
Saat rintikan hujan yang turun berhasil membuatnya tersenyum sekaligus menangis.
Karena dapat membawa ketenangan dan penghapus luka,
namun juga dapat membawa kerinduan yang turun disetiap rintikannya.

“Jika hujan tidak dapat membuatku seutuhnya bahagia, lantas kemana lagi aku harus mengadu?”

My mind gone haywire
By standing in this hour
Knowing I should be running
Rather then continuing my life the same
Self speech after speech
Yet no action takes reach
The longer it goes the more it grows
Is that whom i've come to be
Weakness taking over me,
Darkness without light is insanity
I must overcome the dark side
Temptations, mind influence manipulation
Masters of Puppets invasion
Acting lika sheriffs of a nation
Tempting only to control
Having their way through war
I'd rather keep strong
I'd rather stand tall
I will not break
I will not fall
Existing without living
I'd rather stop breathing
I was a person consumed and composed of whats around me but over time I've come to realize by thinking, understanding and past experience I was able to discover my self spiritually and physically and thankful to have this opportunity of maturing.

Kala malam tampakkan luka
Terlapis kasih, beringsut malu
Ia terbakar gugur lebur
Dan tidak termaafkan

Sesap tangismu sendiri,
Relung jiwa telah berkeluh
Sembahyang doakan maut
Akan pilu cinta dursilamu

Dengarlah tembang petaka
Perlahan menggoda luhur
Gapai lika-liku serapahnya
Dan kenakan sebagai selambu senja kini

Jika malaikat merasuk pada
Sekuntum bunga di pelupuk mata
Rimba ruak ini tak akan lebih
Besar dibanding seuntai rindu durjana

Maka dengan itu,
Akan kuajak berpesta pora
Sedu-sedan iblismu
Di taman mahakama bersimbah dosa

Lepaskan genggaman tangan itu
Dari lentera di sunyi gulita
Karena sinarnya yang rupawan
Telah meleleh dalam lumrah darah getir

Ikutlah denganku,
Kita kan menari semalam suntuk
Sampai yang tercium dalam hati
Hanya bau anyir perpisahan
Untuk Ngangsu Candra Kidung 2015: Mahakama Rahvana
Now the times is rolling through
I get high focus on my loot
Strategize for every plot
Lookin' for enemies that try to get me got
Shoot
In my  own hood can't find no peace or no good
***** deeds entice fame
Tryna break out the eternal flame
Death yes I felt it nobody couldn't help it
Born a slave made for Catastrophe
All eyes on me God send me
An angel for my weak will
Cuz soon im.goig. to have to ****
Plenty rounds
Lace up my boots a true soldier on the hunt
Prepared for war as my demons begin to taunt
Nobody safe once I ignite
So be ready to fight to the last breath
Seen a lot of scorned memories through centuries
Most play the fool im breakin' all the rules
Keepin' up chaos it's in my bloodline
Of my family jewels
They swear they know me feds wanna set me
Wet me
I'm takin' too many shots of hard liquor
I don't think it's healthy my mind wealthy
But sometimes I start to panic
Thinkin' about real **** exposin' hypocrites
I'm growin' frantic
Used to have childish antics
But now I'm grown  on my own ****
Hardest in the pit
As I position to strike lika cobra can't
Block it I'm spittin' venom
Be ready to die I ain't tellin'no lie

Cuz never will die I'll be back
Reincarnated as muthaphukkin' mack!!!

some days, his eyes are full with angst
his arms down his sides, with his fists as closed as his ears
and all I want to say is I know how it is
to be so angry you don't know where to go
because the whole world lights you up like a dry stick of explosives,
how it is to have your feelings being so big they start to feel
like extensions of your limbs,
waving uncontrollably
and all you can do to avoid their friction from setting you on fire
is either to cut them off or keep your arms down your sides


but I step aside, because he can no longer take in my words
his six year old eyes are filled with the nothingness of
an anger so big and unlabeled
but someday, I will tell him and he will understand
I will tell him that even though my blood is not in his veins,
I will cleanse it from soot and silt,
I will be his human shield from this world
I will tear kingdoms apart and slay every last creeper
just to help him level up

and I will uncontrollably, explosively and unconditionally
love him

//

vissa dagar är hans ögon fyllda med ångest
hans armar längs sidorna, med nävar lika hårt stängda som hans öron

och allt jag vill säga är att jag vet hur det är
att vara så arg att du inte vet vars du ska ta vägen,
för hela världen får en att tända som en torr bunt sprängämnen,
hur det är att ha känslor så stora att de börjar kännas
som förlängningar av dina egna armar och ben,
okontrollerbart viftande
och allt du kan göra för att förhindra att deras friktion tänder eld på dig
är att antingen hugga av dem eller hålla armarna längs sidorna


men jag går undan, för han kan inte ta in mina ord längre
hans sexåriga ögon fyllda med ingentinget
av en ilska så stor och oettikerad ilska

men någon dag ska jag berätta för honom och han ska förstå
jag ska berätta för honom att även fast mitt blod inte flyter genom hans artärer,
ska jag rensa det från smuts och sot,
jag ska vara hans mänskliga sköld från den här världen
jag ska slita kungariken itu och döda varenda creeper
bara för att hjälpa honom att levla upp

och jag ska okontrollerbart, explosivt och villkorslöst
älska honom

Oh my bella Signora why you wanna break my poor heart
Dino he tells me quietly, he saw you with that grande Signore
Tells me you make the **** eyes and **** laugh ooh lika that
But which for me you don't smile **** like that, maybe I bore
Dino says, Signore pretend and ask why you laugh like that
Bella Signora, why can't you see for you I have more amore

Oh my bella signora, Sofia says that Signore has grosso cazzo
Now I wonder if our friendship is beyond Via della Conciliazione
I make for you good coffee and don't rope you in with any lasso
Play as you like, I will bring you roses in rosa at Palazzo Torlonia
Don't leave to go drinking with that Signore at  Campo Marzio
I'm sad because alcune donne says Signore has good testimonial

Oh my bella Signora if you break my heart I will run away to Haiti
People they say, you play with quattro corteggiatore or pretendenti
I say to Marcello, pretend as in English is more like it, go tell tutti
I know window dressing when I see it, know you are too faulty
You like rosa, yes! you like *****, maybe Martini or a cool Chianti
But I worry maybe that Signore turn your head with Royal Treaty

The road is straight,
No curves, nothing is bent;
I only see what’s right in front of me.
Faster than sound,
I whistle the air;
Not a speck in my eyes,
I’m head to head with my demise.
Broke loose, now things are right;
I’m enjoying this, I’m sitting tight.
Nothing on my back is tied,
I’m on my final ride.
I grab my throttle hard,
the wind runs by my face.
I smell that…
That concrete set me free.
This is the moment that I seize;
I feel lika a guy
in late Alzheimer’s disease.
Nothing can save me now…
Salvation is not what I need;
I need to no more need a need.
Just let me fly in these last seconds of mine.
From the time I got in that womb,
this was the plan for me.
I was born, even then life was late for me;
I guess you can call that, destiny.
I smile now, knowing that
my legacy will not have the same destiny.
Live on my boys…
You make sense in all there is.
Dear ones I love,
both dead and alive;
See me now,
this is the way I want to go out.
I’m a free bird,
with black I am bred.
Devil, hear me;
I hope you are the one to greet me.
I wear it all,
All those shadows of misty past;
But I also wear,
warmth of pure future hope.
Truckman, don’t be afraid…
I’m sorry I’ll spoil your truck,
with my red cold blood.
You sirens back there,
thank you guys for singing.
I know you won’t get it,
but thank you for making me king.
Ahh…
Spread-wing raven, it flies over me.
You dear raven..
You are the last sight I see.
I’ll fly with you.
I spread out my arms,
I stand on my Harley;
“Get the beer ready,
Martin Luther, Pericles and Marley…”
What a sight to behold;
Those black wings amidst the sun.
Nothing can stop me now;
I am most filled with life.
I was the reaper most of the time,
but now I finished the line.
The scythe is on me,
it’s me who I reap last.
Welcome Mr.Mayhem…
Spread-wing raven, splat down on the ground.
My guts are all over around.
Now I finally caught up,
the end of my road.

Opening up a book is like opening up a womans feelings for the first time.
you never know what you're gona get and you can't see what's happening down the way
but just know by each chapter there's always something new to learn
the more you progress the deeper in the book you get
it's just lika woman.. the more she opens up the deeper her feelings also get
and when you're almost done with the book you can see that it's already getting good
it's just lika woman she almost trust you with her feelings and not meant to be joked about
it's just like a book even though books don't become true
it's just lika woman not everything you know will come to life
except for the feelings that are burning inside
after the book is over you reminisce about what happened
and just lika woman when she finally opens up all of her to you
you sit there in aw
because you know she trusts you
reading a woman is like reading a book

'Lika May was blue
And was her house
And was her nails
But sometimes they were pink
sometimes
And 'Lila May was beautiful
And blue
'Lila May was blue

And at night on the full blue moon
she would paint
The walls
With blue
Oceans and seas and river and
streams of blue
And wash it away with water
Before the sun could chase the moon away
And ruin the blue

And 'Lila May was blue
Was blue

I reconcile all my problems
Tragedy seems to follow me
Since I was a kid put in my bids
I was already auctioned off
Look wat I did
See me trying bring the world to peace
But peace equals war more decease
Bodies rot can't trust the cops
And why not?
cuz everybody getting shot
Brothers especially the color of fudge
System ****** by the crooked *** judged
Paid under the table by the elite
Souls in fear destined for a repeat
I used see the world different
When I was young
But now I'm grown I feel much hung
On the *******
Spinning out wombs from cradle to tomb
Ill still be sweeping pain up like a broom and soon
My misery will be gone
Cuz ain't no sunshine. When ya in a funeral home

Lights camera actions
Gets happy people satisfaction
Nobody pays attention any more
Honor dead peeps that try to peep us about war
Spiritually I try to waken your conscious sick of the nonsense
Every time I turn on the news
Sad stories filled with blues
Destined for hell
Fight for rights though it will never prevail
They preach freedom but all I see slaves that pave
Away day by day
Leaning on the delusion of God
Which is orchestrated by man
U understand we playing with fire in our hands
Gettin the burn stuck in predicament
Waiting for turns
Turns to get a piece of the pie
Open ya eyes it's no surprise
Things ain't what it used to be
Reparations for the black fams
Naw they say we pass slavery
But what about my ancestry
Died for free working on the chattel fields
Bleeding hands have you ever seen a starving
Giving us crumbs off the table
Then have a nerve to give us different labels
First ***** to boy
To ***** to ***** to black
I never got joy
I was more than slave more like a lost king
And I know by the spirits that sing
No sunshine


Since I followed the light
It seems everything is tight
Loosing friends who pretend
To be down like brandy
Can't stand thee
Rain against window pane
Going insane circling the drain
There's no humanity left
I could even open the ears of the deaf
What's worse than worse
See a dead body being transported in a hearse
Taken to the grave
But soul ain't saved
Who can I COUNT on when my tears is gone
Pain is temporary weakness
But I say it's permanent
Cuz everyday is a new struggle from hustle to hustle
I gotta make means to get green
To maintain a luxurious dream
And I know I'm just venting
Breaking pass your mental jurisdiction
Wake you before it's too late
They poisoning food cigs and water
Prepare for slaughter
They want us die young never old
So folks stand bold
*** it's more of us than them
STAY dunkin with funk like Tim
Inhale the smok from v slim
The choice is yours
Take back your existence
Or die lika punk
**** it raise hell to this blunt
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
One time for ya mind
Darkness casted over the sun no sunshine

Oh,
The lightning is stretched by the laser packed line
combining drills with fed times to tell a tracked sign
of how the hard weight of soul and far faiths that glow on large aims
can reign like rain in the start of the first day
Reversed pace is changed like gold chains
but the gold trade is not the only thing that can hold the main
reputation in rotations of a Tornado
The invasion step of being yourself can get you hot as a Volcano
spitting the lava for you to forget the drama
hitting harder to make you bite regrets lika a Piranha
spinning some verbal examples to turn against the problems like karma
communicating with the world as I fight with a mic like i'm in Sparta
When it drops you shiver
You ***** even your liver
Trees are shaking and birds are waking up.
They are confused by the miracle from the sky.
Quick and loud and flashing white,
the world looks lika a frightening sight.
Louder than dragon, quicker than bolt,
thunder and storm are scaring us all.

Jemari mulai gemulai
Dikala ia mulai melambai
Bahasa tubuhku tidak diragukan lagi
Lika likunya sudah tertebak dari haluan pertama bapak satpam
Dia mulai menyapa
Aku teriak keras
hatiku yang teriak
Hawa panas tubuh beriringan membara bersama
Peluh terbawa jatuh dipipi
bisa bayangkan, bagaimana wujudku waktu itu....
Kini, segala fana itu harus di nikmati, entah menarik, suram, dan basi
Aku pikir, kapan lagi akan bertemu dan beradu argument sedekat itu
Kapan lagi berdialog serius dengan elokan tubuh cukup dekat
Kapan lagi aku bisa pandangi wajahnya 4 cm lebih dekat dengannya....
Jadi kupikir, aku harus syukuri, jika nanti tak bisa lagi. Yasudah ku kenang saja....
Nanti senja jadi pelengkap saat mulai mengenang moment itu, sudah ku jadwalkan
Jangan sia-siakan waktu dan selebrasi saat berasama dia atau mereka. Coba nikmati, arungi bersama, cairkan bersama. Pasti indah rupanyaaa

Living in Sweden, as I do, I’ve often noticed that some idioms seem to capture an essence, are more powerful in Swedish than in my own tongue English and vice versa. Therefore, I’ve begun to take the liberty of borrowing the occasional Swedish idiom for use in my poetry.

I  Grund Och Botten (är vi lika)*
A Swedish idiom meaning At The Bottom Of Things (we are alike)

At the bottom of things: basically,
First and foremost and primarily
We are alike.
Our temperament, our gifts, our faults
May differ, and they do.
But you,
You are the same as me.
I is always you is we!
We are a race: a human race.
But should we race, erase the commonality
That binds us all? Of course not!
We are one in essence, which we got
At birth, perhaps before;
Sympathy, empathy, the virtues, vices;
All the aims a blend of spices
From self-sacrifice to merchandise;
Imprecise, but there at bottom
From the ******* to the sputum.
All your systems are but symptoms.
At their end a blend of like-ness and uniqueness,
And one race.

As i look
At the mountain
I
Notice
The
Full moon
Raising from the east
I wish I was just as beautiful
But this scene
Before me show that everything
Is beautiful
In their own
Way
Lika a fingerprint.

Inhale, exhale, ihnale, exhale
put on a mask!
don't try to be different, if you want to be happy
just be lika everybody
dull
pessimistic
monotone
inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale
don't you dare to be different, if you want to be happy!
different people are dangerous, weird, odd, strange....
inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale......

Hon brukar ha på sig en mössa
Som gömmer en del av långa håret
En gyllene kaskad som inte blöter
Men är ***, lugnande, och skiner
Mössan skämmer aldrig bort ansiktet
Huset till hennes fina ögon, gul, grå, och blå
En blandning som måste bedömas som perfekt
Så tydlig som en plus en är lika med två

Det känns alltid bra att resa söderut
Att flygga utifrån språngbrädan
Och att ta **** tack vare vinden
Som blåser periodiskt när hon andas ut

Jag landar då på hennes mun
Som hyser den hemliga bron
Som väntar på att jag närmar mig för att hälsa på,
Inte varje gång, men det blir alltid en härlig överraskning då

Jag brukar stanna kvar där en stund
Vaggad av vågorna bildas av hennes läppars kurvor
Och inser att man kan väl resa utan att flytta på sig
Jag står här orörlig och kysser henne
Det räcker för att skapa nya banor
Som leder till ett ställe som kallas extas
Ett ställe som kan enbart finnas
När vi är tillsammans,
När det finns inget avstånd mellan oss
När vi är i mitten av en sensuell dans
Det är klart att jag vill ta ingen paus
Men hellre fortsätta tills natten gradvis raderas av solen
Tills det är dags att börja om resan igen.

Du är lika vacker som en morgonsol

Din ikea-blåa hud,
dina rosenröda kinder i januarikylan.

Ditt leende när du ser mig,
dina blickar som du ger mig.

De besegrar mig.

Jag älskar dig.
Once I step into the atmosphere suckas grow fear let me dry ya tears
From the guns sneakin' in the rear
I be the admiral a general commander running over pendejos ya know the flows commando tactics built for
Revolutionary type war tactics like scar
Cuz you couldn't mu'fasta smoke trees like a rasta now you leakin' pasta from the shottas
Hang with Don dads and hoes who wear Prada rappers get nada
Tryna step to me with they candy bars received the light from the stars
Flashlight fly as a kite none could outwrite or bite yo I'm outta sight once the bars ignite
Lyrics hittin' like a fastball strike one two to the three you'll see them swingin' at empty
Pitches control the glitches none could diss this ya livin' ya life under cover no other could smother this beat to sleep
Ask ya mom's why she likes it knee deep


Suckas swear they killin' **** but ain't killin' ****'
But a dream I shake em up like Hakeem one man team and it seems fools wanna aim the triple beams but I dodge the scene
Ghost never smoke America's most I'm too close
Like I'm right next you then I'll pass you then blast you
To the undertaker lika hot patota then catch a flight to Vegas we livin' large while movin' small suckas gall for it all I stay on call
Just incase we got some flaws
In the commission lyrics full of ammunition givin' death premonitions haters still wishin' and dishin'
Out sympathy but I crush dreams instantly got they woman's up under me sayin' punish me
With the heavy d can't escape the scenery golden imagery bars laid symmetrically realistically
Ain't none passing me close down the industry
Like Rick Ross in the Eighties
Old skool jewels, dropping joints that could, even make a mule,
Come out of,its stubborn ways, jam the O'Jays to the BarKays,
Yo feel what,I gotta say, on decks with the Ak, speech delay,
Now play, it back in slow motion, it's a lyrical ocean, potion
Sinking in, since the days of the fallin, Olympus still stallin,
Pardon, my darling, my baby girl, just wanted to rock, the world
By the sun and moon, that gloom that, glossed up the pearl,
So many wanna be ya friend, but in the end, it's all a big pretend,
Never lend, my friendship, it's out on lease, easy as ever capeech,
Love me a **** stallion, shining lika bezel, level up diamond,
My intellect that is,still blinding, got the code, from the coal mining,
Universal timings, know the words, of the hidden Gods,
Once I charge the clouds,and clear out the smogs, let my mind jog,
Around the hostility, no humility, break down the unity,
Separate I, from self, cuz I'm dangerous for ya health,
Gas state, carbon monoxide, so suckas, better go hide,
I got pride of a lion, I ain't ****** lyin', applyin', skillz without tryin,
Who could stop me, post a bill, cut down the economy, probably
New stock monopoly, Bradley,  concepts, hold the rejects,
Yo that's a bet, no sweat, leave ya without no regrets,
Standing on the block, like I'm owning it, clone it,
Double up, went from dollars, to a thousandaire, dont care,
What others dare, to say about me, I'm a sit back, play a King see,
While yall playin' QB, I'm watching on a blitz, like a safety,
Defense zone 3, check ya keys, I peel the messenger,
Im the driver, in hip hop and yall, others is just passengers,






Posterize, lyricist true to self, over analyze, victory prize,
Stepped up off,of the St Hides, see the wisdom, slowly hides,
Away the pain, the strain, from the depths of my brain, a grain,
Of salt, could turn all yall to malt, liquor, yo I missed her,
Hip hop since she, took a new stage prop, I'm here to restock,
The originality, fresh taste for fertility, seed at a fatality,
Rally, women I tally, yo dont dilly dally, with a skeez in the valley,
Skin graffiti, pinned up with a nefertiti, thick but still skinny,
Hold my henny,  toast to good and plenty, times off of signs,
Make 9 cents, off your dimes, extort ya shine, cash all in lines,
Smoking the pines, read between the lines, one of a kind,
Isaac Hayes sculpture, break out the culture, watch the vultures,
Copy cats, erase cheese heads, with the gats, lay out greedy rats,
Unbeatable stats, so it's hard for ya match, pitch a heat to catch,
Stay off the radar, born star, plot like Scar, leader of the new Czar,
So bizzare, rhymes twisted, sick with it, grab my biscuits, mystic,
Sly, pass through the devils eyes, glare over the skies, magnetize
Navy seals, rhyme appeal, always smoke out, spotlight sequel,
Oh so real, candy rain with da wood grill, stainless made steel,
With so many swords, of wu tang you, cant evade the killz,
So many problems in the world, hard to break through the swirls,
Look at the boys and girls, confused education abused, misused,
Now im glued, to by the hate of the news, they'll keep ya with a burnt fuse,
Learned the rules, long ago, walked my own way, dont be a mule,
These fools, live by broken rules, handy with the tools, let my my mind cruise,
Pass a million miles, times infinite smiles, booms shot like Guile,
A street fighter, and a raw writer, never a biter, flows thrown tighter,
Than a boas choke hold, unveil the threshold, see the gold,
They hold, America's currency, been up since the revolutionary,
Peep the sceneries, of these fine loonies, got the knife n the boonie,
Looking lika Vietnam vet, eyes open tunnels strollin' like a jet, stream
They say, it's no I team, but I see the eyes, breaking up things,
As they cling, onto the souls, of the people, too many leaks of evil,
Love jesus, but the same jesus, they never pleased us, with justice,
No gods before thee, or imagery, but I see the great famed mockery,
Playing ourselves, weak health, junk foods just an operation of stealth,
See the rich, dont eat that ****, I saw the flaws before they glitched,
Now I understand, the psy behind, why the grinch, stole christmas,
Vexed over my wishes, a young lad thought, I had, everything to be glad,
Sad, moments we living in, I pitched in, too much of time, to slime,
People show they real colors, no matter, what shirt they got on,
See me blasting, microphone mastering, see the shots that's plastering,
On ya billboard signs, standing by the highway, looking for the right way,
See what the signs says,
Obey dont break the laws, I shake my head, and tighten my jaws,
I'm at an uproar, feel the pain, but I ain't feeling sore, to the core,
Slow sip the holy water, had a spiritual slaughter, as I caught a,
Break from reality, now I'm free, chilling with nature ever so happily,
Ungathi Lol
ngisayo lola
Bese ngishaya isilolo
No need for isililo
Ngiphethe insimbhi ekhafula umlilo
Ungathi lo
Uma ulanda umlando ngami.
Ngiyi butho lika malandela
no Mandela anga dela.
Le bhari zama nija zithi
Delay is da
Took the DOCs formula rock the cold tundra sound the thunder
Raiden lighting strikes faster with fresh nikes on bikes
Cycle fast like a flash of an adrenaline past cast
Myself into a pains definition never been a christian
Profit for the false prophets broke the orings dispense  
Mystery suspense yodeini moving lika genie got the beanie
No bean pies keep a solid third eye back hands living spy
Noble wise drew Ali holding the ravioli bags to drag
Brain cellular nags got the intellect to the slash corrupt
Magz toetags to enemies who love to lag no need for brags
Snow fort beat the courts with the imprints of my girth
For what's worth break the curse two shots from two glocks
Boondocks saints penny over ya lids close ya jibs pigs
Love to take a stab I jab ****** thrills to the rush of a cab
Daylight to dark nights shining bright it's a killer raging plights















Hard to breath when the bullets conceive hearts relieve
I recieved notice from a higher power intelligence
Due diligence heads above the fence keep my foes intense
Heads I pench to the very inch nerves peeling the dense
Mad intense surface the nervous sunday gun service
Bible scriptures taking from my mental picture ******
Jewels miracles witnessing no attesting smoke Wesson
Learn them many lessons this is a blessing no testing
Gods will let the blood spill bodies chill feel the wrath
Blood bath evils kins of pharaohs sin ***** living djinns
Still dodging the pens in this filthy world we live in
Demons mirages on my garages grapevine summertime
Is the worse time tryna get my head right but I'm out of sight
Thoughts dark as an attic suckas get tatted then matted
Into the floor from the full metal jackets bury a hatchet
Ratchet never say gun play suckas make for runways models
Crack the bottle go full throttle cash rolling out lika lotto
Follow ghetto as rallo shows at the apollo Benz on auto
Sharp shooter nose Ak making suckas pose goes a rose
Stiff toes close down doors keep my feet pressed to the floor
Early doomsday somebody take me away from the led spray
On my knees I pray like a mantis destiny to reach Atlantis
Picture this gored out canvas this ain't Kansas tapped toes
Black and white bear tactics panda expand my lecture textures
Coded words moved like a herd for verbs pinched the herbs
Suckas make like a sickle curved you've just been served
Jubilee  wolverine world war two faced like that boy Scar
Playing simba gotta move fasta plant seeds from a rasta
Eat the pasta ravioli globetrotters peace to the shottas
More ranks than Shabba don dada still standing as Big Poppa
Heart of a thrilled chilled **** or be killed sign ya bill sigils
Laying squeals devils printed bills sleep in the high hills
Off the radar memories scarred ship from bar to bar
Karate hibachi my thai chi crazy crawling with rapid energy
Love women's of Wednesday prepared for the takeaway
Pendegrass ***** droppa watch the rico grandee begin to slay
As her breath escapes away ecstacy play *** is forte  
Pleasure for gains brains stains trauma insane reframe
From my old me now I'm the new me mirrors of excellency



Rhyme detective used beats styles rhymes as a contraceptive  
Suckas un perceptive deadly weapons for the selective  
Contrands hands from Japan to Iran Blackwater's mans
High in demand pose under a new company ran signal fans
Underground plans folks still living as slaves in the lands
Yeah in moses water mountains ****** blood seas prophecy
Standing with the wise policy no apology learn any ology
Stay up  to the corrupt cuz they don't want you to wake up
Stacks racks up pillsbury dough stick a flow bleed rhymes galore from shore of my core
Scraping ideas for more mellow my brain til its sore pure
Columbian white flash heights sparkle diamonds sunlight
Jewels looking dragging intellects like dirt under a mule
Use tools rusty never been crusty on the board of trustee
Shake the dice garlic knots for the vampires tryna water the ice
Splice ya toupee take ya breath away from the top gun
Actions old school backgammon  player slayer to the majors
Unserviced behavior still rolling with service craters
Death mimics walking conscious empty thoughts froth
When I season the greens spiff turn mean disappear off screen
No screams once I squeeze the silent beams crack teams
What a relief Indian chief throw up the peace victory release
Repeat D-day mack Valentino policital animal feelin dino
Throw Fred's out the door told ya once more too *******  
Stacy Adam's pent suit once I step out of the kitty doors pours
Reign on ya domain some things still remain the same shame
Haters spectators posing as gators ready to snap payers  
Say ya prayers devils advocate poison all the snake pits

— The End —
