Already Took Note

11/23/20 I know how to take one, but I'm not a joke I once was, but I am no longer broke I didn't but sometimes I smoke I was asleep, and now I'm woke I was silent, but if need be I spoke I was weak, now I'm strong like a healthy oak I prefer animals over folks People prod and poke Attack and choke Because they want to see you croak Too many fakes, flakes and snakes I already took note Don't act like you know me because of what I wrote Nope it doesn't mean I'm a dope Behind all this alcohol and these clouds of smoke I've been doing my best to cope Getting across a tightrope Gaining traction on a steep slope Much more than just a bloke I'm ready to take care of business, not one to hope I don't like what I'm seeing through this scope It's f****ng gross What people will do for their fix and dose Or so many other things even if it puts them close To deaths embrace and approach Not like any, I'm unlike most I'm not just going to sink or float I'm going to do both I'm only human There's no need for excuses The truth is I'm seeking success, among so much turmoil and ruin Still I float around like a ghost Don't need an invisible cloak Even if I took it off, would they ever notice? No, they won't
