Pondering the thoughts of nameless enemies
dying to show their face
yet too afraid to be revealed
I forgive & heal from all rocks thrown with ill intent
for I know their time is at hand
Absorbing all the pain that was heaven sent
was all part of the plan
so, I'm comfortable swimming in the tears
for these waters of life have released
me from my fears
I continue to surpass & transcend all stones
sent in my direction because I go with
the current so it was time well spent
But who needs the 2 cents of this faceless gent
who wears & disposes of all masks?
My 6th sense tells me they are just a part
of the present game in a sense, or past
not knowing with whom they play with or against
All asides aside, I can see their role for it
has been played by many in the past & that's ok
My script doesn't contain any of their lines for
their words fall on deaf ears & they're too
blind to see the movie from my eyes
Why would they think they could ever move
me when I'm composed of a mountain of greatness?
Fakeness is real & so is the underlying hate
they embody for real
What I embody is more than words
can explain
so trying to paint THAT picture would only
be in vain
My rain waters all plants & seeds and the
monsoon we bring
floods the minds of sunken ships
in lost places
Am I the only one that sees their misplaced
aggression just looks silly
like clown faces?
