Alarming Speed

3/20/22 Going at an alarming speed Taxes and parking fees Across uncharted seas I'm in the presence of sharks and trees Keeping any B.S. far from me Among constant conflict and chaos, I've only partially Found harmony It all use to dishearten me Experienced much first hand rather harshly Around me was constant paraphernalia like a pharmacy In years past, I partook in some carpentry Sometimes I make chimichurri with ingredients like parsley Remarkably What I do will not matter or it shall far exceed All expectations, meanwhile most continue harming each It's typical no longer startling People charm and tease Cause harm and cheat A lot of them are a creep Mama told me, boy get your s*** straight Otherwise you're ending up in fifth place Won't exceed if your content with that and think it's great Someday I'mma drop a mixtape On B.S. they often fixate Far too many commit hate Worldwide instead of just across this state I'm not jaded Even though I constantly got cross faded Often living in space For a long time I was a bit late So the ship sank But after a quick break It all became innate Still they treat others worse than inmates People far too often piss-take And they love to dictate At this rate That'll be their last mistake Because it all gives shape To being dim and fake Leading toward a grim fate Damn girl you got a thick waist If I don't shape up, I could end up being fish bait Can't get by with a higher loss than win rate Specific crowds targeted Harmful products continually marketed Won't catch me in a cardigan I finished it and now I've started it Got back to drinking hard again Risking an arm and leg In daylight I'm charging in Or in the dark I hid Hmm girl, you're so very far from a gem Often broke the hearts of men For a long time of love they were hunger-starven Got to keep a smart head And a firearm instead Of just a blade with a sharp edge Concern for human life is often disregarded Doesn't matter what you do, like if you bartend Or became a jarhead Can't do anything if you are dead
