Hey Universe
Why you coming at me so hard?
Did I do some sht to piss ya off?
Or you just playing some evil part?
Its all getting kinda rough
Im not nearly tough enough
To get through this & come up
been kickin me down so much
Im bruised & lumped up
in every possible spot I can touch
I've already accepted i got no luck
But seriously, like what the fck?
You Actin like a fckin schmuck
When all I ever be asking for
Is acceptance & love
Got me questioning what i did
that was so wrong?
Sht been so bad for so long
I just wana finally
find where I belong
I wanna smile forreal n not
Have to fake how I feel
Breaking down every day bc
I cant deal
An honestly idek if
All of this is even real
...I hope not

Soul free Slave?

See we both actin up misbehavin
When you see mee on my knees
I'm not being servitude
I praying God bless you

Keep
Actin like
Everything is the same
Yet
Everything is anything but
My world is turned
Upside down
I don't know
Into an optimal angle or a
Negative angle
Anymore
The pastel colors
Of the sky
Are getting
Blurred
Like Monet's
Impression
soleil levant
Felt like I was
Flying
From
The jump but now
I'm just floating
In midair
With sudden
Unpredictable
Drops
That
Plummets my heart down
Too
Got too much
On my mind now
On my heart now
Save a place for us
Please
Bae
When can we stop pretending
When we can't go back to the
When when we didn't know
When we wanted things the same
It's so hard
When the truth is out there
Letting it lay
Cold and bare
When it was
Breathtakingly
Beautiful
Waiting for a long time
We both
Wanted it
What is stopping us?
Falling apart
Am I not enough
Blurred undefined paint
In my heart
Still life
With my heart
Still beating
For him

One spoke, saying "we know what he's trying to do"
buying a ring, "that aint special mista". You act like
she loves you and all, we aint about that she'll say.
Who is he?" I bettcha that's what she'll say when
I mettle this, and find out the real reason, you
trying to marry-up on this Chix!"
Who are you? I asked, and he spoke to me saying
I am your everything! who is this Chix, you fronting on?
You know her I don't. I want to by my beautiful fiancé a ring
and your here in my world, scanning me like you know me.
Who are you man? Who are you?
"Eye am Yo every thang" She gonna laugh in your face
when you give her that, like she has the
capacity to love you, We don't do that.
Conduct your business. Mista Mastro conduct your business!
The wine gonna taste funny, and the pie gonna make you cringe,
stand back when she start's throwing things. Go on and conduct
your business. And if she say yes, ya'll be fussin' actin like
you aint cheap, you cheap, that's right you cheap!
He snapped his fingers and
headed out the door.

Never bite the hand that
feeds you.
Be careful not to burn bridges
you need to
cross again.
Let’s not pretend
you’re not the issue
when
it’s everybody but you.
Sacrifices they made for you,
but you forgot where you came from.
Actin like an edumacated fool-
dumb dumb.
Now, you want to apologize-
say you’re sorry-
Your eyes cry
lonely tears
feed your fears.
Think
before you speak.
Check your priorities too.
We so done
playin these games
with you.

So many people with so much to say
Seeking notability increases their way
With each other they'll all compete
Top position is what they seek
Wanted to be known as only the best
Strong contenders rise above the rest
Starting gossip so as others to discredit
However when questioned deny they ever said it
This is the life of a dealer of drugs
Often surrounded by a group of thugs
Tryin to take what isn't theirs
Actin out like they don't care
Until one day and the tables are turned
Karma has begun it's what was earned

I love you
But I hate you
One look from those eyes
I adore you
Still waitin for you..to
Step up
Own up
Confess up
All those things you fight off
Like that real pain
It falls like acid rain
That damn good pain
Put it on me again
Drop me to my knees boy
You know you like it
Stop actin so damn coy
Golden stares matched
Two souls locked and lactched
Diamond cut skin
The devils made his way in
Earth shaking looks
Touches, split seconds leaving us shook
All the odds are stacked
Got that real thang
Rare thang
Natural diaster causin kinda thing
Walkin away
Always in a circle
All exits lead back to me
That is certain

BOOM BOOM
give me some room
can't f***g breath
with all these gunpowder fumes
guns blastin off
like my mouth poppin to
shut the f*** up up b****
I wasn't talkin bout you
fell off for a minute
the wagon got crowded
much like my mind
and I couldn't allow it
had to jump off
before others got shoved
f*** all yal actin
like yal showin me love
I'm about to be trippin
on a vacation to take
go the wrong directions
that'll be my mistake
back to this blastin
pistol to mouth
you don't really know me
or what I'm about
so back the f*** off me
I just need space
keep comin around
and this pistol you'll taste

Broken and Trippin
________________________
Why you be Trippin,
thought you were my homie
but I guess as it turns out
you just a phony.
Why ya be crying,
actin a fool
tryna be big
but your just a tool.
I thought we were tight,
family you know
but that's gone to hell
that's for damn sure.
We were thicker than blood,
but it shattered like glass
it took me by surprise
and then kicked my ass.
Sure my feeling was hurt,
but I guess that didn't matter
cause I'm sure in your head
you're rolling with laughter.
That's okay cuz,
what goes around, comes around
and everything that goes up
eventually comes down.
So when you think of our friendship,
how we ain't homies no more
just like I feel empty
I hope you're void to the core.

Hey DADDY run as-fast-as-you can
You oughta-see-my-mama-oh-man
She dancin to a radio show
And bein kinda naughty-you-know
Never seen her actin this-way-before
Look she shufflin out-all-over-the-floor
It's a song that I ain-never-heard
And she just-said-one-of-them-ugly-words
Take me back to my radio days
Take me back to the simple old ways
Far away from the smoke and the haze
Take me back to my radio days
She shoutin "SING to-me-Rock & Roll-man
I could eat you right up-where-you-stand"
But she just-now-got-thru-eatin-her-lunch
Why she still wanting something-to-munch?
See I TOLD you, hey-what-is-this-pop?
Why you spinning her around like a top?
You-made-my-mama's-garter-belt show
And how the heck did your zipper-just-grow?
Take me back to my radio days
Take me back to the simple old ways
Far away from the smoke and the haze
Take me back to my radio days
One-mo-time-now-1,2,1-2-3...

Girl i ya unsure,the way i be sometimes
but dont u ever just relax,u the only one on my mind
with nobody else,why would i ever be?
because u my soul mate u already showed that to me
i love your eyes,brownest in summertime

Nowadays,sad to say,everybody want to breakaway

Cant I just hold u close,stop being strange
Insecurity,gotchu actin this way
