I Am That Seed
If I could stand in front of a
mirror of truth I would whisper
dreams of my future. I would
let that future echo in my past
in hopes to live in a brighter
now. For now contains what I
am and always will be. And
what I am, was, and always
will be is that seed. I am that
seed, I am that seed, I am
that bastard seed that swam
from the deeps of darkness to
heavenly eyes and a ghostly
face. A face that cant be
arrange so it leaves it
misplaced. Misplaced by many
which enforced the hate. The
hate that breathes waves of
fire from the mind, body and
soul of what some call the sun
but really just a formulation of
what I am. I am that seed, I
am that seed, I am that seed.
Yes I am that seed a seed that
set root even when the other
root left the room so my
mother wouldn't name me after
him. So I be spitting at him
from behind because I'm not
the son of that reject. I am
before that, I am before, I am
before, before. Before him
wasn't death it was eternity so
in death I will speak only in
eternity and let my voice be
heard. For my dreams don't
have to be deferred. And I'll be
scrapping my dreams from
nightmares and let my
nightmares haunt in my past.
For the past has been beating
my ass. And I'll be having
dreams that don't go
disturbed. For my dreams is my
voice being heard. But some
say its too late. For my past
has been infected by time but
some of this **** is before my
time I need more time, I need
more time. But it's too late as
the seconds drip off I look left
to right, right to left but
nothing is there. For I'm here
at the end of the road which is
the beginning of my road of
my time. And I ask...where my
haters at? Don't tell me my
haters got dusted in time. For
they thought I was in their
time. I guess they didn't
realize I was ahead of
their...time.
