Memoirs of An Old Thug Life


memoirs of  an old thug life

first impressions last longer
lost in the sands of times

last impressions lives forever 
penned in mind's of men
treasured in the rhymes of mines
engraved in the tombs pains
inscribed in the palms of history
tattooed in the art of fame

last impressions
edit
first impressions
last impressions
uneditable
end justifies
the means.

I did got the cracks
tightly close in racks
sold widely in tracks

Iron mouth spears
puncture foes fears
broken into pieces of tears

guys we want 'd' dough
but we won't weigh the load
of tomorrow's cold
as in pains unfolds

gold through nose
        holes
cuffs round necks
        laced
iron on fingers
        rings
silver on tooth
       blinks

Bold to the triggers
sold to smugglers
cold to fingers

In hood hidden faces
nude thumbs
eyes gazes
faced down

all for the money
one for the dough
few for the penny
.
life so chokes
I so broke
I .......coke

stamp my attitudes on my spears. Thorns
a custom
to my runs

my lyrics in verse
of my tears
no cares

I prose penned
my mind
of my kind

In poems 
to tend
my dines

I sing, I pulled down fifties
In shades
Of phases

no selections tracks 
all non perfections
these impressions
cold
cos' I know 
I don't know
they live forever

but I won't
am done
even when am gone

Cos' I know if I did been given this
chance again I know I will live
a clean slate

but this impressions last
sure haunted my cast
even in my grave forever
Am gone.
