Verbal Intercourse 2: My Life

I've danced beside The Devil, pale moonlight we're 
toe to toe, the embers of my life emit a warm and 
somber glow,

which lights the darkest corners of a place inside my 
mind, a twitch defines my eye and I'm resigned to 
think of times,

When life was oh so simple, go to school, do work 
and eat, time changed the thrill of victories to 
urgently defeat,

the dreams I chose to seek fell by the wayside to the 
street, the wind beneath my wings became the 
Timbs beneath my feet.

A couple lady freaks emblazed my steak, their gravy 
sweet, with mashed potato lovin in the hot and hazy 
heat,

I thought I was the man but was a man who claimed 
to be, what changed all that? The coming of my 
precious baby G.

I've flirted with the outskirts of a suicide attempt, it 
couldn't have been that bad you're thinking but in my 
defense,

my mental fortitude was not as strong as is today, I 
used to lay back with a spliff and long for better days.

Well some things change but stay the same this 
thang is not a game, my Milton Bradley antics kept 
my mental slaved in chains,

and though I aged with grace it seemed my actions 
stayed the same, I closed my eyes, stopped looking, 
guess that's when the angels came.

The knowledge I possessed it grew by tenfold 
overnight, I learned to love 1 woman and just how to 
hold her tight,

my queen to be, she seemingly arrived by oversight, 
I pledge for my whole life to never tell her no at night.

I cut off family members cause they all were tryna 
trip, I'd rather die inside a ditch than love those lying 
tricks,

I'd rather guide a life beside my wife with iron grip, 
than share my blood with individ'uals dyin for a hit.

Attention junkies pumping massive venom in the air, 
debase my name with swears cause in the long run 
I don't care,

There's 1 God who will judge me for the way I've 
handled strife, my words will sex you up it's verbal 
intercourse, my life.
