Verbalism
It’s been a long time coming
But I’m still on my game
Writing is the only outlet
That frees me of this pain
I Talk it how I walk it
And this Walk is insane
Some days are harder than others
I gotta stay in my lane
I’m further from my past
it’s still a part of my name
I don’t believe in love
It’s just a foolish mans game
There’s no winning a war
That will never have gain
I’m not running in circles
Just to try and fan flames
My blood runs hot
Like I’m running on ether
My baby said she loved me
But she can’t be with me either
It doesn’t matter anymore
I made the decision to leave her
I guess Love is a sickness
Like a cold with a fever
So I stay on my Boss tip
In your face
I’m obnoxious
Rocksteady when I box this
Non stop
Until your nauseous
Not paying for love
I don’t care what the cost is
Life is never good
When my feelings turn toxic
It’s easier being alone
Than moving on to the next
not making relationship sequels
That all end with an ex
There’s more to my life
Than just looking for sex
I rise above my instincts
To be the best of the best
I’m The last of my breed
I don’t write to impress
The only reason I write
Is to shine up my finesse
Music is my companion
I should forget all the rest
Easy come easy go
No need to hold on to the stress
Life is so much easier
Without all of that mess
Life is so much easier
Without all of that mess
Life is so much easier
Without all of that mess
Yes I must confess
Speaking of moving on
The show has to continue
I’m all out of tickets
And I ain’t changing the venue
If you don’t like what I’m cooking
Stay the off the menu
I have too much to lose
And there’s too much that I’ve been thru
To be wasting my time
On a dime I’m not meant to
Drama weighs a man down
The same way that cement do
The weight of the world
I just shrug it off my shoulders
The weight of my heart
Weighs as much as a boulder
The longer I live this life
The more I get older
And the more that I grow
The more I get bolder
I’m gonna keep writing my rhymes
And keep my mind in a folder
It’s show and tell time
Don’t say I never warned ya
Intelligently gifted
With the bars that I have scripted
I’m Blasting right thru the ceiling
Until this roof it gets lifted
Therapy for your cerebral
That hits you right in your fitted
How can I be so on fire
When I flow like I’m liquid
I can keep writing bars
My vocabulary’s on point
You can see me from the shining
There’s never a need to point
I will keep writing defining my mind
Until you get the point
I’ve crossed the line in game time
Its Match set point
My mind soars higher
it’s mountainous elevation
Flying towards my destiny
Is 3/4 of destination
I’m more alive than living twice
I’m here for the duration
Not apologetic
For the formation of your frustration
drink up this flow
I can tell you need hydration
People so full of
they suffer from constipation
I’m so close in your area
My name is your location
If you want to hate my style
put my words into quotations
I’ve been patiently waiting
With these lines
I keep creating
Fading in out
Ink pumping like palpitations
This is medicine music
Invigorating meditation
That keeps your head nodding
To lyrical inspiration
It’s out of control
I can feel this in my soul
I don’t color within the lines
Or ever do what I am told
I keep on digging til I strike
Oil or gold
I’m gonna be successful
That’s how my story unfolds
I’m off to see the wizard
But there’s no yellow brick roads
I have a mind
And have a heart
And a talent that lets me show
I kick it off from the jump off
this I’m never letting go
Theres a dozen different styles
That all showcase my prose
Your all staying minor league
And I am playing towards the pros
You can say it to another
Damn that boy can flow
Music runs through my veins
And it makes my soul glow
I’m an artist with these words
like Pablo Picasso
My mind is a book
That is fully lined with pages
Whenever I let loose
It’s like the lions out the cages
There’s a madness to this method
When feelings start rampages
This is no place for weakness
Only a place for the courageous
