Cut From the Same Cloth
8/28/16
So damn many thoughts
And plots
Oppurtunity knocks
Around the clock
East and West, Biggie and Pac
True legends that will always remain at the top
Never going to be forgot
Trust me no time to stop
Get after that guap
Protect yourself and the ones you love, twenty four seven watch
Regardless of if she just wants to shop
And to have a bezel with a rock
Had to be stronger than an ox
Thinking outside the box
Freestyle like it or not
Grew up in the woods, with so many animals including hawks, fox and wasps
At night around the lights swarmed many moths
A lot of friends had horses and water troughs
As well as gardens with vegetables including squash
Out by a wilderness filled with trees some of which were covered in moss
Bodies of water dried up or continued to flow and wash
Near and far from any parking lots
I always tried to connect the dots
Sun shine, rain, wind or frost
I like mild, medium and hot sauce
Plenty of times I took a loss
And paid the cost
In the end there was benefits for me and the boss
Meanwhile people still are praying near a mosque
Or cross
Just not cut from the same cloth
Any time, place and spot
People getting beaten by a lock
Stuffed into a sock
Even when their lights turn off
