We were crazy.
he and i.
We'd cut ourselves with rocks to see
whose blood would run the fastest,
It was hailing and we went for a swim.
Nuts.
He said he had a rope. He said
there's two Smith and Wessons in his ******* closet.
I kissed him.
No favorite colors,
We'd lie in the shade of synagogues and under the blaze
of search lights, a couple of lost springs. Picking me
up around the corner so they wouldn't see, he'd
tumble his bike so that we'd fly and i'd scream.
Beautiful.
He said for us to run away. Never sweat. He said let's
run, let's ******* run. He said shut the ******* door.

I run. Run away. He doesn't like me to. He had a rope
and there's two Smith and Wessons in his closet.
This is for the
Real homies n thugs
Hangin' on the block
Still cockin' a glock
To the cops
Slangin' dope pushin' hoes
N what not?
N we still swangin' with open tops
Monte Carlo on elblows
What the **** ya know?
About it my nigguh i been in the game
For decades
All these phonies still throwin' shade
pac made a legacy
Pat made a legacy
***** made a legacy
Now these fools rejectin' me
Because im on some mob ****
Nigguh
Any interference
Gets yo wig split nigguh
Know the game
I still got my soul
But fightin' flame
Stir up the hornest nest im the best
To ever touch mic
As the words rumble off my chest
I gotta deep voice no baby boy here
I attract dark clouds everytiem i go near
The industry
They dont like nigguhs like me
Got everyfool snitchin'
In the hood for a little money
Maybe its just me?
Or im seeing to close
Got me shootin' at ghost
Burn out ashes
From smoke sessions
Got the smith n wessons
Bust at haters now they cant be questioned?
My trues know we never talk to the feds
Cuz in the ghetto
Ya know that'll be yo ******' head
Now ya devoured
But i had to switch to **** to high powered


Hoochies still poppin' *******
Tryna to get me
Caught in the child support industry believe me
It was planned since slavery
Got us turnin' our backs on each other
I cant even reach to my brother
Without him pullin' out a strap
Dear mama
I know i wasnt perfect
But i kept my head above the surface
Barely breathin'
Hard to survive stayin' alive
Miss me with all that jive
These fools on the mic
Aint talkin' about what he say
She say??
Silly *** nigguhs n *******
Get **** out of my way
I was young then but im grown now
Nocturnal i got the senses of an owl
Im the systems problem child
Try to arrest me in the flesh
But all they get is a ghost arrest
Im too smart for these fools
By the time they find me
I'll be on a cruise sippin' exquisite *****
I choose
Life over death
This aint really living
Society color blind thats what justice
Can't  see
The truth is that they want us to fight
Divide n conquer
Is the oldest trick known to man
And if you dont understand
The masterplan
Yea need a brain showered
Shock ya shells
From being high poweredddds

Tell me, have you looked down at project stair wells
Notice that our people don't fair well?
Farewell to the broke days
We got dreams and hope to get paid
Laid, condo living while we're sipping on chardonnay
Make a sin out the life we were given
Reminiscing when average joe's roamed with smith & wessons
I learned my lessons, create a presence
So when they say I'm broke, I tell 'em my past is not my present
Open presents on Christmas morning, in place of our people mourning
Bullets tend to **** and death is always calling
Frequently calling me at night sometimes
And at night is when we live out our lives of crime
Purchase jewels to claim we're cool, the evils found within me
Spend our income on guns till our funds is almost empty
****, and we're just praying for a way out
Lay on a beach, instead of a street, laid out

I weep for man
I laugh at mankind
and my heart breaks for humanity

We are so far removed from ourselves
separated by ego and arrogance
blinded by routine and normalcy
spinning cogs walking in circles
as the world turns into a wasteland

Our hearts become nothing more
than empty graveyards
hollow and empty sound in our pulse
white noise blocking the transmission
of our dreams

Puppets safe in their cages
the masses only move with the flow
educate them to repeat repetition
never teach them to think
line them up one by one
ducks on the pound
waiting to be hunted

Money

Money

Money

The only currency worth dying for
Life has no value on wall street
only the Dow and the Jones
and the Smiths and the Wessons
bullets and lead
over the teeth and the smiles of children
coins and cash
over the blood and bones of innocence
cold lifeless steel
over the warmth and sound of a heart beat

I weep for man
I laugh at mankind
and my heart breaks for humanity
Spinning the rhyme roulette, see how many rhymes I could get,
Shines like ice on a baguettes, hope you feeling it, if not I'll **** it,
Revive it, like a miracle from jesus, so many victims, laying an empathy thesis,
To make race baiters, believe us, tease us, but I see the holes in justice,
Yall cant touch us, I'm a keep stacking my mental papers, inhale the vapors,
No hero's falling from the sky, or the bearded guy, standing with a cloak, why,
Lie to yourself, best thing you can do, is to take care of your health,
Lay my stealth, in plain sight I'm not going down, without a fight,
Its gonna take, all of my sight, wrong from right, focused as a height,
Nobody knows real from fake, too many taking a taste, from falsehood bites,
Sign over your rights,
Mastermind, of dumbing you down, with their might, I stay in flight,
Amongst the cosmos, follow ya soul, smell the scents, where Toucan Sam goes,
See the agenda, breaking from the original, new kids ******, for the millenial,
Dont even know a question?, all the know is how to point a smiff and wessons,  
Underpaid wages of teachers, in salary cages, see energies in rage this,
Welcom to the kiss, of life where reality is met with strife, cuts like a knife,
cant find a shorty, who's worth being a wife, so I dip the daily drama,
Til manana, and creek rise everyday, I glance a new pair of eyes,
Mentally paralyzed, icy garlic pressure your points, make ya soul rise,
I broke ties, with my ownfamily, cuz they ain't understanding me,
Tryna bring hope, to the prophecy, it's been written since, the early BC
Cant stop the scenery, folks only play ya close, like lean on me,
Just leech off of your energy, but I peeped my enemies, from miles away,
**** what they say, hands clutched together, watching for the preys,
Double entendre, sounds of thunder, followed by the lightening wonders,
Flashes of multiple colors, sense the serpent's, rising from the gutters,
Too much queso, for the people, to be into a deep financial struggle,
Step through the portal, so I can show, where my thoughts glow, yo,
I'm fronting from a source, break the scenario, cops and lawyers
Still toasting bagel, for political flavors, that they cant even taste,
What a bunch of waste, it's the death of society, in the flash of a memory,
See the fish with mercury, maybe that's why the world, is in insanity,
It's so many, problems to touch on, im.just tryna get my spit on,
Shine like when, the cannabis gets the cracking, yall haters be slacking,
**** the government, with my macking, see the chips that stacking,
So many lacking, for peace while we in the belly of the beast,
The beauty of souls on feast, wandering from west to the valley in the east,

Feel me??
Make the mic bleed rhyming justice league
Enemies grow fatigue flows breeze
Pass the auroras explorin' like dorah
Thr lyrical Torah none could ignore tha
Crowds I draw without a pen and pad
Expressed my crown without getting mad
**** my dad cuz most of my life I had
To scrapes for crumbs feelin' succumb
To the drugs that come lynched ya mentality
Verbally hung I penetrate from United States to Hong Kong
Sounds of the gong
Tryna make a living hustling embezzling
This life ain't really giving still missin'
The eternal blessing from stressing
So many enemies flashin' the smiff and wessons
Everydays a new sessions with no questions
Why is the beef growing folks claim they wise
But the wisdom is still unknowing



Foes beggin' foe one more chance I glance
Into the moonshine laughing master my crafting
As time passes away totes of the Mary J
To let my thoughts fly away and land
Into another dimension caught in the realms of detention
My spiritual commission laid by the goetias christening
Many not listening
Fake news interventions guns busting
That's just the energies struggling
Most folks die with nothing gluttons to unbutton
A lost mystery I a key to the misery like Jesus to Rome
Catch me slippin' only to brace a funeral home
And even then I still won't be gone
I'm half way stone
One eye creekin' out my coffin top none could drop
Im a keep mashin' til my third soul stops
Forever be settin' the plots investin' in glocks
Street dreams...

— The End —
