Post Haste

12/13/21 As of now, I got no mate Working toward my own place Another tragedy Another casualty Becoming a cold case Zero evidence they could locate Something sentimental Something special Stashed in a gold vase People continuing to show hate As a nation A lot of saturation Too much is so fake OH great All these tricks Always got to watch my six Keep an eye out for those snakes Had to turn things around and rotate Didn't always help to go straight People always oath break Once again I ended up in fo'th place (fourth) Got to try harder Think smarter To get farther On the ground Up in the clouds Problems all around Like snowflakes Here one minute, then gone The cyles goes on and on Leaving no trace In order to improve things No time for mood swings For my own sake Got to never give up Ready to get past any hiccup Even if I get no break Making sacrifices, standing tall Giving my all So much I donate Getting it done post haste It was high quality or low grade Each had a different growth rate Always drunk and so baked For a long time I had no bank No faith Giving no thanks It all was taking no shape It's all starting to carry no weight Bank account needs to be so caked Still they disobey It's all okay You don't have to go away My hairs starting to grow gray Playing on my So-nay (Sony) Got to put it down So I can drown In the mo-nay (money) Girl I need you to blow-may (blow me) Can't be caught up on what folks say Don't fret you'll have yo' day From here to way past San Jose Life is bonkers and coconuts Hit the mark or wasn't close enough Stayed together or broken up Did or did not involve a Toyota Truck It was a stroke of luck Or the jokes on us Still too poor Got to do more Always getting through storms Changing the new norm Working on my true form Use to give no f***s In and out of ruts Downs and ups Took guts Aww shucks Not worth the headache or fuss Stack up the bucks or bust What the f*** Knuckle up Buckle up With or without a double cup It's no game like chuck-a-luck Looking for my buttercup Meanwhile another cover up There's been no change It's all so strange Woah dang It ain't no game Or pathetic like road rage Better use yo' brain I should've known mane Didn't always require a code name Stay alert or you could get took out by a rogue wave
