Tight End

Beatin' this path 'til my heart stop cause any moment my heart. could. stop. Swear any day my chest might pop So sit tight, bout to open up shop Call this the English chop shop, loppin' slop 'til I'm atop the top makin' rounds, spinning top slap you sops, I mean saps writin' raps while I nap getcha thinkin' caps Clap, clap, clap on lights shinin' thru lies like a lite brite Comin' for mine, writ of right hope one day you see these heights I'm over your spite & silly trite slights Unmatchable sleight Slight...ly insane, can't be tamed brain strained tryna explain the arcane Rhymes'll never wane, maintain find your lane plain Jane found mine mane... I'm treatin' alcohol like an elixir no mixer, always end up missin' her got me wrapped round 'er finger like a boa constrictor lips tastin' like nectar but those same lips'll bicker like their words are scripture bitter, gone in a flicker, hope your new man's better even forever don't last forever back to the liquor... chest pains... what keeps it beating? hold up, really, think about it... the great twitch, listen, I'm pleading spent too much time reading it's like cheating, or maybe peaking into the meaning of being existence is fleeting quit fleeing your meaning meaningless... to me that's bliss What's a life without a risk? Mind on fritz when I reminisce Blow my past selves a kiss but no holes in my memory, swiss triple threat like blitz, 3,000 hits & a swish close your eyes, make a wish and imagine this... I'm not sayin' there's no meaning I'm sayin' you can choose, like screening or dreaming, parti pris'ning, feigning for truth, like the right wing do for Jesus Jesus, these realizations've left me alone but alone don't mean I'm lonely losin' touch with some of my homies or should I say phonies? cause I just can't relate with complacent one too many vacant statements words are latent hesitatin' blatant flagrants used to be adjacent agents now you're an acquaintance count to 10, I'm learnin' patience gracious vagrant w/ equational statements fixated on a Pulitzer nomination no delegations cause I can't go with the flow... that's a lazy stream rather reap what I sew guess I'm a one man team but but but... we used to be teemin' w/ dreams! now you're like a train without steam or a boat without oars headin' upstream remind myself it's never what it seems and take a step outside the seams... I'm truly sorry if I ever condescend I swear It's not what I intend I just want the best for my friends on me you can always depend your go to in the red zone, tight end
