Selfish Truth

Hello girl, Can I lie to you, can I say you wear the most beautiful smile Like I never saw my mama wear a priceless version on my graduation Can I tell you your face holds that “Eureka” like I just discovered a living Mona Lisa Just to get your ego high, and make you want to hear another lie I can see that smile, am I getting there? Am I close to satisfying your fantasy of a possible Mr. Right; the one you dream about every other night. Hold on, I just want to be your friend right; even though we both know I’ll be lying What I want is an addiction which I clearly see in that beautiful body that you carrying. I can’t take my eyes off you, now that’s some truth, but what I want to really take off you, is your clothes Plan is to take your ‘T’ off just like tRUTH, and make you commit to me just like RUTH Be your puppet and serve you with those twinkling smiles, then I’ll dim it the moment you serve me with your forbidden fruit. Now I can brag to my niggas that I had you; easy take, I took away your honor You gave all your heart sweetheart but that’s still a tight corner I got to make more room; so it’s time to find another Babe see; what a man cherish is what he never had; do you need a prove? Check your history; Mona Lisa on display attracted a skillful thief So please believe, the true man for you is not the one you enticed to come closer But the one you hide but still burn the torch to find you in your saddest hour The devil’s teasing; "you should have listened to daddy prodigal daughter" There’s no turning back, that’s why I didn’t write this for you; you already traded your dignity of a perfect wife For a perfect party girl fake niggas applaud; they want a ride Now you worn out, your brake paddles are all out, that’s why you crushing Fake nigga is out there laughing, and no one cares, for only Christ can do that saving without collateral damages incurring But you not even looking cos your focus is on another man, girl you pathetic Get your contacts and stay focus, this is no Disney world; this a world of snakes and deceptive magic  Now you feeling all uneasy; to yourself you asking, ‘Gosh is he talking about me?’ Girl that’s a definite no! I’m only shaping a bullet proof vest to invest nine lives in my unborn daughter; In case she comes across a straight bullet from a lying tongue; now that’s my selfish truth. Here's something I wrote years ago, just came across it and decided to share
