Rhymes About Nothing
I was going to take it easy, but I’m going to write harder than ever before
I’m all about love and peace, but the world thinks we’re better with war
I’m going by my own expectations because I’ll never measure to yours
I act confident because you’d eat me alive if you knew I was ever insecure
I don’t show my heart much, I keep it in my chest, but the treasure is pure
They say I’m single minded, so how do I write double rhymes that are clever and raw?
Me to be the new Eminem was all a plan
He wrote a song about me, he just decided to call me Stan
The only difference is I’m here with a normal state of mind
Okay that was a lie, because you have to be a certain amount of crazy to create these rhymes
Tupac passed me a pen from heaven so now I’m here to take what’s mine
World on my shoulders, but I won’t allow it to break my spine
I’ll hold it up
Travel to the North Pole because my heart still isn’t cold enough
I need it cold enough so I stop missing my ex from time to time
The world shouldn’t be told this much
But I’m trying to write a new story in the oldest book
I go looking for what the normal human isn’t designed to find
Please don’t mind my mind
I’m just a little crazy, mixed with inspiration from Slim Shady
Tortured with self-loathing due to my parents putting me in foster care as a baby
With a broken heart from a girl who took advantage of my kind nature
I hope you see clearly now because you could be blind later
Got enough rhymes to fill nine papers
And complete 20 albums for your favourite artist
As soon as I get my lock on, I won’t change the target
My pen is full and I won’t apologise for the carnage
Make you take notice of what I’m writing; you won’t be able to disregard it
Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger are hiding from the poetical Jason Voorhees
I’m not a movie writer creating stories
Someone ask Cupid to have Ariana Grande waiting for me
If he has other plans, that’s fine, but it’s worth asking
But it’s probably best he doesn’t because dating bores me
I push away people because I don’t how to trust
I’ve been numb for so long, I wouldn’t feel it if I was touched
I’m working on myself, to fall in love I’m not in a rush
I’ve seen Friends turn to snakes, they didn’t realise I’m a shark so they can’t drown me
The man has become a king so you should crown me
