The alarm clock sounds off to the tune of Neil Young’s, There’s a World. 
A place that is non-existent in today’s life of a constant upwhirl. 
Our dreams and aspirations are put to the side.  
To get ready for the day of demands and haste for pride. 
We enter our vehicles to begin a

Music

Classical is from the Middle Ages
in the mid-1940's we had Bebop
a fast-tempo 19th / 20th century Jazz
then along came Doo-wop
with group harmonies
the 50's brought us rock and roll
which developed the 1960's
(sad to say) Disco and its glitter ball
then psychedelic pop rock
blues and folk rock
and in the 1970's it was Hip-hop
and also Rap
which was misspelt
it should read

West Coast Walking

All alone is all i've ever been
miss when houses felt like a home
now more-so abandoned
as i walk around these ghost, derealization
now im on the west coast
starin at the ocean
reminds me of these flows
Melodies surfin
my skull got deep holes
here but driftin
mold the words no play-doh
in rhymes sinkin
realest never make the studio
like waves they driftin
built it up

Didn't we all become poets ii

/ "Like Open-Mic Explosions from the End of Language". ~ Chat-GPT /
_____




Madmen leaked a rash of sky-blue puddle;
fatally cloistered the hat-flu's hubble -

To wit:

- the half-time half-life smile of she and the other half-wonder of me.

Far far ready to say maybe to love;
moved in half-dream to plumb half-baked memories.

("But weren't their novel 'dogs-of-war' and lovely

Ghosts

Really don’t matter if they f with me 
I just love to see friends coming up, but they ducking me.  
Brought my own ladder, it’s hard to handle for most,  
Getting support from this flow, tryna balance my highs and my lows.  

Hittin’ a lick for the price of some blow,

Gafas

lows over my eyes 
trying kill what's inside 
just a different drive 
hi jacked the vibe 
trying to bug my line 
get sprayed with pesticide

you see them thuggin
I'm with the plug 
trippin on luggage 
why you fronting 
I see you trucking 
moving sluggish 
hop out the bucket 
it's all for nothing 
let's get this money

Jokers Lab

You know where he's at
He been in Gotham,
Whole city lit,
He grew and blossomed.

What he touches, he flips,
Moves with caution,
Always asks if you good 
Load up attachment.

Map in his hands,
Survives in the woods,
Light up a match
He’s good in the hood.

Hustle forever, forever he should,
Walked through a path
With booby traps like the Goonies would.

He grew up a

Don't Take Life Too Serious

Stand up,
Won’t lay down 'til I stack up.
Fed up with the brokenness 
A liq just gonna tease me

Focus,
Pull up in a Lotus.
Fly on essential,
Throw up like bulimic 
With you she a padlock,
With me she a secret.

Convenient,
Don’t take life too serious.
Articulate,
Went and took one 
She missed on her period.

For my dogs, I’m ruthless,
Like John Wick, I

Different Whips

Lil mama in a Q50 infinity 
Known to handle drama
Pulls up any vicinity
know a broad in a Amg
we hit the drive through theater 
And we blow on trees
I know a hottie in a Beamer 
She fiends for the d
Trying to have my baby 
in a swooped up m3 
Another shorty in a Tesla 
Always smoking

Crash Out

Started crashing out 
With your picture on the dash
There’s no way I’m catching up 
blew my engine trying to get to you
I wasn’t fast enough
Should’ve read the captions huh
Should’ve kept a side piece to avoid the loneliness 
I ain’t get no answer trying to count on you 
It wasn’t adding up 
Hope you stay safe

Give me a deal

Cooking up a meal,
Give a deal,
Hit the reel keep spinning...
Flip it and win,
Feel the rush just for a minute.

Inhale, I prevail 
I want the diamonds that glisten.
Talking to this toxic girl,
But I got no feelings.
I burn bridges sometimes,
'Cause I don’t like they children.

Tryna blemish my image,
I drive these hoes to a frenzy.
Tryna gaslight me
I talk

Push the issue

It’s always what I say,
It boils down to what I sow.
get me off speaker
tweaking out my destiny, they trying to know.

Push the issue we ain’t cuff,
You got me pushing all this dope,
Popping out at the mouth,
My pockets chunky, tweaking hold your tone.

Crazy, feeling lazy,
Wish for me to crash out.
Busy bone switch after our freaking history,
Like

What is the tiddy twister

Lets be really clear
A crystal clear plan to get near the man
Just Follow the titty twister 
Just follow the hooha hurriCAN
Follow as sure as you stand
On two feet we dominate
On two knees we congregate 
With a Gang of my precious baby friends in my face
In the foot race in the first race
I place fate on

Steak not Acetate

Working in another Homegirl
Working on orders Homegirl
Over the Border Homegirl
Over the Parchuka Essa
In the twilight
I love whos staring back at my eyes
And back in my life
On my back pages 
I was thinking I was going
Through phases
Everything thing that aint a 
Proper noun now
Everything is people and places

A comprehensive collection
Of th collect awareness
I was there when,
