Where I Stay
Broadway, so busy, keeps my dreams occupied
Self reflection and retrospect opens my mind to adventure
My listener will not be denied
Truth from heart and soul build genuine integrity
That’s why I speak my mind straight
Not tentative or allegedly
Broadway, where I stay, like a circus of confusion
A variety of Souls pass by my window
Mixed generations and cultures create an intriguing illusion
What a city to be dwindling in the wind
Take a close look around you
You’re surrounded by sin
That’s a pessimistic point of view, but it’s my admission
The environment in my eyes
Is like a Crack Feign's nutrition
I find it hard to see the light at the other side
Nothing Positive about ignorant people
Because by their given standards they abide
Many souls walk the concrete without true self awareness
I see it so often, fools with hate inside them
Finding Solidified Minds is the rarest
I don’t hate others for what they’ve done to me personally
It’s what I’ve observed, permanent damage, done irreversibly
It’s a tragedy to see, but I keep my eyes wide
Follow the lighted side, Keep hope alive, and convince Fate to be my bride
