Just For the Sake of Sanity

To never again to feel any kind of pain Or sickening social positioning Because of some one else's incompetence And weak assumptions About what truth is and what it isn't Has me listening to Jimi Hendrix religiously A, Hey , girl When I holla at you As a friend I'm simply trying to stay in touch Can't afford to give a "What" Whether or not you're felling me Cause relations import weakness Falsely believing in a sweetness That knows nothing About syrup and sugar Poured pure and slow To get involved with a beautiful stranger there lies a cure In hope That is nurtured by the misery and the mystery Of this thing we've heard about By photos snapped out from under my cap From lenses of dreaming closed eyes Or simply by word of a mouth That has cussed, kissed,smiled, and frowned All in one instance While I'm kicked back remembering The good times, better chances And the hood romances Back when all the fellas was getting play Because they knew how to do all the M.C.
