Soft-Spoken Sanity

I'm a very picky guy, getting involved 
With my quality quantity 
Oh oh look at how I have evolved
It's fantastic that it's reality 
It's not a fantasy alone
And God answered His phone
No longer on my own
I'm melting like an ice-cream cone

I resist the urge to cut myself in slices of shame
I don't want to die young, I want to live till I'm old and wise
I get mad to the core when nothing goes my way...I get a certificate for a gloryless name 
Diamond Ruby, there's a twinkle in your eyes - it's something that prevents me from whispering my heartless lies and merciless goodbye's 

It's my destiny to be in God's family...that's true alright
If you don't believe me, I'll show you by taking flight tonight
Don't take God's name in vain - California cussing I've done again 
I refrain from gaining a lost thought that gets off of its tracks like a busted train
God gave me chances...that were limited to ten 

I see Beyoncé's glee
It makes me smile happily
Cuz I wish I were in her shoes
So I won't be singing these silly, it's-been-a-long-time Blues
At least I'm the same color as the Dodgers team merchandise
In their eyes, they see me as foolish wise - something to love or despise with some what's and why's
I'll drink to that
Till the day I pass away...born again with a bright aura Ray 
I'm a sneaky cat
That will sleep all night and day and strays away...as he may...

Listen to my voice 
It will soon rejoice 
If I got a fleek beat... repeat...
I will slay it so bae, so neat!!

Come back, come here
Lighten up, have no fear
Your Six pack, disappearing due to drinking beer 
I won't shed a tear and that's what up in here...wait for a miracle to appear, dear 
You wondering deer
You wandering deer
I'm still here
Healing is near
He's here with cheer
Let your doubts disappear
Like bubbles that pop
By the rhythm of my rop

Urgency is in my lines
Feeling fine in thin lines
Wish I had thicker hope these days
I would've been having it My ways
His ways for far better than mine...feelin' fine 
Mmmhmmmm mmmhmmm
He is my good combination of cheese and wine 
Ahhhh mmmmmm ahh mmm

Soft-spoken....reserved....
Outspoken...oh so absurd
I talk others' ear off 
I like talking it tough 
I listened enough 
Now, I'm getting it rough

Give in to my spell 
Down in the well
Is where happiness dwell
My desire goes pell-mell 

Benefitted from the past, for I'm a believer 
Been talked down for so long
Your verbal abuse didn't really last forever 
Just like the fame of a song 

You figured me out
With so little doubt
Running in God's route 
Go ahead and laugh about 

I actually wanted in 
My hope was paper thin 
Where do I begin?
Wrapped up in sin 

Down down downgraded 
While U R so drunk and faded
Up up upgraded, so love-hated and underrated 
While you-you-you were so-so-so overrated 
Quit the stuff 
You put me thru
I had quite enuff
With being here for yoooo 

I rooted for you
Until you let me down...downfalled my uprising and made me tread the trippy, Torture town; mindblown, but I won't throw a childish fit
I haven't a clue
You were up and about, telling everyone our bro secrets that made me disgracefully frown; I'll be gone before you know it
 
Let's turn things around before you're captivity-bound
What goes around comes back around without a sound
I'm high above the ground
Lost, but never, ever found

You know, expect the unexpected
Show affection towards his or her infection-cursed rejection 
Our geometric lines intersected 
Symmetrical mirrors reflect our elegant, extraordinary acception 

At this point in time,
I have fearless boundaries
Time with you so sublime
Time flies in a rapid breeze 

Delirious daydreaming got me headaches of shame
Feeling this shame, dealing with this sham without a fame name...
My nature needs to be tamed and I'm the one to blame for the way I became 
I was a poverty predator going after my wealthy goal victim, deprived of winning a victorious game 

From Genesis to revelation,
I will love you from beginning to end, for my love has no end
That trinity thing I don't believe, though I observe and respect the Holy Spirit, I worship The Lord of Accord and I honor His sun-shining son that I welcome on even until the dusked Dawn 
I break...I slip...I fall...I stumble...I trip...I bend...

I declare Your name to all the mirthless Earth
Many brethren surround me...my spiritual family 
I felt like less than human, compared to God...who had a purpose for my birth and rebirth 
The aftershocks of an earthquake knocked me off of my feet and scattered my senses into shards of blurry worry 

Stuck in place,
Free in space
God's vast grace
Fell upon my face
Now, I know the truth 
As obvious as a healthy tooth
Don't spread your morbid, abominable lies 
Ruthless are your time that awfully flies
