Hey Universe

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

When you see mee on my knees
 I'm not being servitude
I praying God bless you

Worthless

Your Two Cents Are Worthless 
Don't Make Sense 
Anything You Say Is Irrelevent
Talkin  For The Hell Of It 
Actin Brand New 
Ain't Got A Clue 
 Thought You Knew 
You Never Had A Chance 
No Matter The Circumstance
Nothin You Do Could Make Me  With You 
Wanna Get Pissed 
You Didn't Make The List
High Sidin 
 Lyin 
Left Him Holdin His Dick Cryin

Soleil Levant

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

and wanted something to eat
said she was tired from working out
and told me she didn't eat meat
wine sounded good
but I hadn't asked her out
she made plans before even started talking
I didn't get a word out my mouth

trying helm a brudda up
tryin to make a brudda strange
Giggy gotta man and I know
why she actin like that

Daddy Mein Pappa Mein

she don't love you and she don't
need you
keep my name out your mouth
stop calling my residence
your baby momma is
my spouse

ya'll aint compromising
I see the look in ya'll eye's and
talking bout getting
clothes and shoes

let me go do-it
I know bout what yo momma said
tell stuff her $$$$@$$ and
comb her hair
keep my name out your mouth
I tell ya'll what's

smiling at each other at the barbeque
singing song's

ya'll getting back together
stop actin cheap
and thinking you clever
that's my wife
my kids

and ya'll through forever
that's my wife
my family
my kids

foolish sh$t

Fussi and Them

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.

For Kanye

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.

Dealer

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

Bad Habit

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 Explicit

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.

Radio Days

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...

Just Fine

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
u knowing just what to doi,to get you to smile
no more jealousy,only kisses in my favorite way
Nowadays,sad to say,everybody want to breakaway
nothings gonna make u fall from heaven,angel
nothing gonna ruin your day,sunshine
cuz if u do your part like ive done mine..
we should be just fine.


Cant I just hold u close,stop being strange
Insecurity,gotchu actin this way
Your hair turns gray,you have bad days
im still  gonna stay,aint gonna change
you told me once before
almost to the door
you wanted something more
and i wasnt providing babe
because i was just getting close to your heart
back in those days i was inside it babe
now ive decided babe
nothing gonna make you fall from heaven,angel
nothing gonna ruin your day,sunshine
cuz if u do ya part like ive done mine
i can guarantee,
well be just fine.
