Why Alzheimer's

Sitting blank with nothing to think on my mind
Feels like a dry well in my head.

with a less complex range than an enslaved ahss,
inspiration sadly discarded as they spas,
the rap I grew up with is a thing of the past.

Talent? Witch please, mumble's...

But a strange change happens
at early nightfall
in those stuffy rooms and halls
and it suddenly becomes clear
all was not as it seemed

yearning heart I dwell in the 
gloom that befalls me

so it was legal. 
I have not been dead, 
for thirty years. 
Surely that is enough. 

If I tell you this or that,...

Impatient floodwaters at dams
Waiting for shutters to open, 
A hodgepodge of puppets
Excited to perform: at deep slumber, 
Waiting for my eyes to close, 
The naughty byproducts of my brain!

I fly, glide: liberating!
I sing with a...

Hate to see that frame 
And know that my face ain't the same
Cuz I know I am dying slowly 
And lonely 
But that's just the truth
