Remember when boxing was called the ‘sweet science?’
I’m actually trying to forget
First championship fight I watched
Emile Griffith killed Benny ‘the Kid’ Paret
What’s the point of knocking another man down
~ or should I say woman, because now they're also clowns
Tonight, I wish you were here right beside me
Alright, I know that I'm nervous and full of anxiety
Yeah, I'm going to be feeling okay as long as you're here
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that I had a heart full of fear
My heart can't rest when you're around
My head can't stop spinning without a sound
I tend to get crazy over you and I regret everything
I have offended you and I'm sorry; if anything,
Please forgive me...
Don't forget me...
I love you
That is true
I love you
A love brand-new
The grass isn't always greener on the ither side
Something in me has slowly died - my inner pride
Tonight, ride my ride of shame and fretfulness
Tonight, make me feel your wonderful happiness
You're not by my side and I feel ticked off all of the sudden...that part of me is forbidden
I'm sorry that I grew cold and turned the cold shoulder...my guilt isn't hidden
(this brownarmed girl will sleep
with goodman)
testing the white waters at lunch
she in a blushless
cheesecloth frock
chaperoned by one vased fuchsia forget
me not
coyly sipping cantharis tea
verbalizing
circling a triangle
words slipping from breath moistened lips
like fire thirsty moths quenched by flame
washing their hands
clean of angelcake memories
she keeps a picture by his bed
a stranger and the children
in sun day best
& each night is the longest month of the year
Rap
I got my swag on high
with my style on high
bout to show these girls how to party all night
got my crew right beside
got the music going high
bout to show off my moves when im dancing all night
so
move your feet to the right
move your feet to the left
put your hands on your hips and work it like that
drop it low while your shakenit
shaking those hips let
yo boy no that you a bad lil chick yep

i want to break out break loose
i am ready to go clubin all night long
time to go dancing while the dj drop the beat tonite
yeah

If I should die tonite
Let these demons and angels rejoice in delight
If I should bow my head & rest tonight
If it's not polite
Let my enemies shrudley kiss me goodnite
Rehearse a small prayer if I should die tonight
My standard of living is a factor of giving
The things I've sworn off the tip of my tongue
The fabrics I've worn so soft
From the tips of my thumb
Death ain't nothing but time & distance
In a fine line royalty may kiss and dance
Glorify the blood in my eyes
Ain't nothing but violence and silent cries
Let the God judge as I pilot my lies
My residents evil, just escaped my casket
Task it, a second chance to outlast it
I'm putting together a masterpiece
Something more precious than souls deceased
My anger and compasssion
My satisfaction, with being buried in fashion
Just to live life and die twice
The very passion of christ!!
