My Mother Was Catatonic

My mother was catatonic, symphonic chronic is what I smoke.
Livinin it bougie, choosin floosies no uzis and then I choke.
You can be me, insane cerebral cortex is
just what I feel.
Living pervy swerving Lexus and hexes to get the deal!
I'm the homosexual, heterosexual, suicidal bloke.
I was adopted by white family and to them I'm just a joke.
They are white supremacist hollow and they drink a racist coke.
And they bought themselves a black kid, broke me down and built a moat.
I'm the illest of the illest, you the illest with a pill.
Donate plasma with no athesma, drain so much I start to spill!
Got the game on lock with fakers who found out that words can kill.
Better bump this  on speakers like I invented free will!
Spendin money by the twenties gettin hundies by the bill..
And I'll never stand for the flag so you coonies can in chill!
If my words had a flavor I'm sure I'd be spicy dill.
Bringing back the old school freshness like my name is Uncle Phil!

Premium Member Steel Bougie

He was a violent slasher in a movie,
there was no way for him to spook;
The murder weapon rather bougie;

A psychopath doesn’t frighten easy,
when a fear would rise he’d rebuke;
He was a violent slasher in a movie;

Devoted slave of what is high society 
wielding a steel dagger that he took;
The murder weapon rather bougie;

The wifi connection was so spotty;
Unable to handle a common fluke,
he was a violent slasher in a movie;

Stealthy with the aid of technology  
without it it’s hard to be a crook;
The murder weapon rather bougie;

All of this made his frail nerves crazy,
no phone no power he would puke:
He was a violent slasher in a movie,
the murder weapon rather bougie.

Take Me To Nirvana

Candles have been lit in a room of seventy-two  
my yoga mat is weaved from recycled flexi-jute
I am a wisp of silence in this doctrine old and new  
seated in my soul, I am rendered mute 
TAKE ME TO NIRVANA   *   TAKE ME TO NIRVANA

Diving into waterfalls of paradise, I'm cold 
beneath a sky of midnight hue transcendently I'm yours 
serenity, tranquility as every breath unfolds
I'm a temple made for you in this Elysian field of gold 
TAKE ME TO NIRVANA   *   TAKE ME TO NIRVANA

In this peaceful state of freedom without roam  
I sit chilled, frosted, frozen, I am Flame  
One bougie of rushlight and suddenly I'm home 
a Paschal candle without a name 
TAKE ME TO NIRVANA   *   TAKE ME TO NIRVANA 

 TAKE ME TO NIRVANA.

Ce N Est Rien

Ce n’est rien

Le jour que commence avec la pluie
Ce n’est rien

La nuit qui commence avec bougies
Ce n’est rien

La pluie tue tous les espoirs de la bougie, mais
Ce n’est rien

Mon amour aussi
Ce n’est rien

L'amour n'existe pas ici
La vie existe seulement comme un cadeau pour le mort

La vie est loin, la mort est proche
Et alors, Ce n’est rien

Faites-moi une place
Ou la douleur n’existe pas

Faites-moi un repas
Qui me rassasie toujours

J'ai perdu tout mon espoir
Ce n’est rien

Les mots que vous verrez sur ma tombe
Vous le savez déjà

Je ne suis rien
