Logics Lord Willing
I'm so tired
Frustrated at being exhausted almost expired
Out here looking for the plug that'll have rewire
And give me the battery in back
To flip stacks
And put me on the map
Before my insides catch fire
This anger and disappointment the igniter
Holding on to dreams of having my kids dress flyer
Wife on visual full rotation from outsiders
But that's not how my life is
So I digress
Sit a lil bit plotting out what's next
The schematic at times seem to complex
Take a break
Come back refreshed and take on
All the things they say is wrong
And holding on
Til my fingertips are chafed and palms are torn raw
Google map an avenue to explore
But my heart implores
That I was always ment for more
And everything I got is a blessing but
I'm so used to loss
Like a 16 with no chorus
Speaking what I want so much into existence
Now my voice horse
Feet feel course
Back made thick from all that I've been holding on
My mind is intertwined
With the design
That all of this is temporary
But my patience is declined
Seeing places I be dreaming
Half asleep plotting out a scheme and
Frustrated to the point that I be beaming
But I can't stop won't stop
Even tho I'm bleeding
Bloody scalp burnt up shoes
And chest wheezing
All of this just for one reason
Even when I fade away
Ppl will see my kids and say
All the things in which that they see today
And overstand why daddy behaved this way.......peace
