The Roots False Media Instrumental

The roots "false media"

Starving and hungry until I make it
Most others will rob you naked
Risk the take of the news making them famous
And buddying up with the plaintiff
Defending your right for liberty can't shake it
Jobs out here are everywhere but placements 
vacant 
Surviving hatred
From the next nigga who'd rather not see you 
adjacent 
From the graves we placed in
Watching you struggle 
Instead of helping you make it
Try to be humble but that bubble burst before 
you even clear the dust from the rubble
But wait
Because they swear they love you
Feeding you lines 
That patronize while the whole time they on the 
sidelines
Looking forward to your decline
In front of your eyes lies disguise the nature of 
their climb
Onto your back while you squirm wiggle and slide
Go thru mine fields for your pride
Trying not to take ambien for your sleepless 
nights
Marching thru diversity like a soldier
Many arms open looking for the one who will hold 
ya
Optimism on the walls of places as pictures and 
posters
But the barrel from they lips is holstered 
When you follow the rollercoaster
That's been holding you down and other peoples 
success provoking
Make the right turn you've chosen
Hoping 
That your life isn't already written
Put in position other people think your kidding
Probably the only thing your wishing
That everything your living is a script and 
Your the main character in this position
Until you've found the transition thatll pivot you 
into Gods grace and forgiveness

Inspiration Kick Push Lupe Fiasco

Kopastetic
Not even barely breathing chest thumping like a tamburine n
Trying to be decent 
But the whole situation has my chest wheezing head pounding heart leaking for what a bloodclot reason.
The explanation was just weak why not admit defeat when got the speaking
It just ain't kosher if shoe was on the other foot I'd be bowled over tenderized n put in the George forman 
roll-toaster-ry
Open dialect with open mindedness
Even said of how I'm understanding this 
Even tho I was so heated I was shaking n 
This isn't the end becuz it was turned around on me of past tense 
I couldn't even believe this but it did
Get to that extent
Yet it made no sense I open up this hidden agenda that wouldn't have been exposed if I wouldn't have 
looked for why my body had sleep kept from me ......peace

The Sins of the Father, the Price For Retribution

So much has changed
Looking searching high and low but it slipped away
Why can't I find it 
Is it under the witness protection listed under a different name
I remember dreaming at night about how things would be mundane and cascade its way in to the plane in 
which the soaring was placed
Where did you go
Why cant you be easy to find like waldo
But no 
That wouldn't be life
That would be a theater seen at the back of our eyes at night
Hold on I'm coming
Might not be on a horse of white and armor glistening off light
But I'm coming
Maybe bruised battered and hungry 
Maybe scarred bloody and mangled
White knuckled from the obstacles 
Half blind in my opticals
Running from causes that are probable
Holes imbedded through ligaments and parts of my digestion
T-shirt wrapped around wounds pressing
Hair gray from stressing and a shell shocked tick like terrets and
Collar bone exposed knee caps blown 
Sticking outta my back arrows throat closed narrow 
With my tongue dried up looking like bone marrow
Hollering to a bellow
Smashing watermelon pumpkins and mangos
I will find you
Love of my life I will find you
God hasn't blessed me with this heart to blow this too
If he can strengthen this sinner 
an ordinary dude
Then this too he will allow me to do.....Peace

Taboo

Hidden
A secret
Must keep it 
Forbidden to be in the same area or even seen with 
Sharing a secretive kiss and passionate
Hugs and whispers of love
Outwardly detached except to who's above
Footsteps creeping wood creaking 
Bed rails leaning wanting more than a fling
Yurning for the other perspective
All the guts but not the full glory of affection
My bed room you laying in
No
Must be like night.....silent
Holding close from a distance
Being cautious of signs n
Sunrise again 
Gotta let go 
Even tho 
Shed no tears but my insides are welded up and drowning
Days to long til arms embrace and hair gets velcrowed to my face 
The moon shines on my back as I make tracks from days lacked of poise
Coming in must make little noise
Fiddle with my lifesize toy that holds the key to this heart that's bolted shut and nailed up with boards
But can open all the doors
Sunrise again
Must place u in my head til the moonlight allows my heart to be opened 
Always left wanting more
The bad breath
The nights not slept
The sheets unkept
The hair a mess
The pain and suffering
The stress
The whole Damn package
Just
Not so lucky enough yet
Until next time where the moonlight will hold the spell of a taboo love kept......Peace

Inspiration No Apologies By Eminem

This is a thought or an epiphany / but from how I see : confidence is lacking in thee / so I'll shift into gear / 
she put the bug in my ear : denounce fear / pronounce a new style to pounce : opened mouthed claws out : 
middle finger raised screaming hell yeah : here / eat this plate / when finished : wipe shame from face / walk 
with swagga speed up pace / moving to quick to leave a trace / of anything haunting , n starting , or sparking 
of the old tablet : to be erased / point in case / chess not checkers : fix my face / n change habits / kill 
babbage : with flame-lit carriages filled with kerosene soaked mattresses / n stomach filled with c4 crack 
addicts / with the driver chained downed named past tense / hold close the new reference / a decorative 
veteran whose suplexing / souped up on goals and aggression : only stressing where the next victim to mess 
with / never relaps on past acts just future facts / pemped up ready to attack any acrobat that'll get trapped , 
get slapped , get jacked 4 every piece of their scratch / every piece of dignity , humanity , organs , flesh nose 
bones n back / so scratch that 

Peace

I Can Take It--

I can take it
Even If I must fake it
I can take it
Even if I am socially naked
I can take it
Even if I don't get to be famous
I can take it
Even if I hear I love u like u don't mean it
I can take it
Even if the system rules on the plaintiff
I can take it
Even if I'm losing my emotional status
I can take it
Even if I must brave it
I can take it
Even if food ain't given n my stomach remains vacant
I can take it
Even if I don't rob or steal for a  roach infested couch or building stripped to the brick naked
I can take it
Even if I hide it from the Mrs that that happens
N I lie so as to not make her cry n she gets pissed becuz of it
I can take it
Even if everyday I'm alone looking for msgs to come but won't
I can take it
Even if these same clothes I wear I marinate in them til my skin is imprinted
I can take it
Even if old haunts taunt n run rapid over my brain getting comfortable making hammocks
I can take it
Even if I must constantly prove my worth to myself to over turn this feeling of being cursed at birth n show 
exactly how the lord work his works by making an example outa this unworthy piece of dirt 
I can take it
Even if I must rip my flesh off with every breath n talk to parents about being adults N vault their feelings of 
good times lost
I can take it
Even if I was hit with a brick of slander every minute n pricked with 1000needles of venomous blood from 
hypocrites
I can take it
Even if I don't make it
I can take it
Even if it takes my last breath to proclaim it 
I can take it
Even if I don't become famous 
I can take it
Even if ......I can take it ......keep moving on ppl.......Peace

Opinions, Anyone

Why would she make me crawl 
back to you
Always hear how life is bytch 
But thats cruel
Because more people will 
bruise
Batter and choke you
Hold you
From your breath
Kick they foot out while you 
taking a step
Play with your intelect
Spread flies around you like 
death
Were a mask of a friend and 
plunge that banger into your 
chest
Grinning wildly
Teeth turned mesh
Life aint easy 
This is true but dickhead 
people are a mess
The mess
Thatll have you fall back in 
that abyss If you let it
Of cousre
Im lost in the sauce 
Praying so hard my soul is 
hoarse
And my chest cavity is porus
Ears filled with herasy from a 
fake chorus
Wakings a burden
Sleeping a chore
Chiefing settles nerves down to 
the core
So my presence isnt what you 
wanted it for
Could it be
This whole thing is a burden on 
you and yours
Nigga Plz....
My presence is evidence of 
blessings that arent evident to 
your optical preference 
Bredren
Im a testiment of 
perserverance embodied in a 
flesh of hardships 
Night terrors in daylight of 
dark shyt thatll make one 
nauseaus 
Forfit your profits
Make you wanna grab a 
almanac 
Gain knowledge
Instead people wanna crush 
your dreams to appease they 
wallets
Let you pick outa garbage
Throw you scraps so humanity 
can relax off they back while 
you snack on the scraps they 
dusted off they laps
Thats cool tho stuff your face 
til you collaps
Im patient
Walking towards the day of 
celebration waiting for the 
moment of declaration of your 
participation that help fuel this 
patron on his road of ambition 
and dedication
Never ceasing to quit 
Even when exasperated 
Soul suffercating
Body exaggerated over the 
plantation of the good life.... 
Peace

Mad and the Roots

Gripped by the throat with tension 
Mad aggression pumping thru my veins 
Changing my complexion 
Pressing thru the world of small selections
Fencing off the other feelings of oppression 
And while I'm resting 
I don't wanna wake
But once my eyes open no time to hesitate
To much bullshyt to escape 
It's not like I was born with a cape
And even when matters are crazy but I refuse
Not to be great
I refuse not to turn the hands of fate
And make the universe concave my way
Been a struggle since birth
Trying to live with these lies
Told even since I put the me in time
And now I got a family that's mine 
And I must throw away all pride 
And keep the dream that I breathe life to alive
Hungry for what's never told was mine
And told all the things that are above my level
That's fine
Sit and watch as I not climb but claw to the top
Kick scream and holla at the stars 
That like to play against the odds
Of the campaign of my cause 
Causing me to fall
Causing me to look forward and back to remember where I came from
Causing me to wayward this and carry on
For that's all I know
That's all that anyone been telling me 
How I'm wrong 
How I'm slow 
How I'm the one that love doing it the hard way yo
How I'm the one that will fall flat on my face 
Lose my place
Lose the initiative in which I started this whole thing
Have me missing my template 
But they don't see I'm God sent 
Regardless 
Of all the bullshyt curse words and bombardment 
I will be in undeniable 
Came far from where it was that I begin
Even with snow storms and hail pours I'm destined to win
Even if I'm straight drowning in gin
And gasoline was part of the triathlon that I had to swim
The king is crazy
So for my babies I will swim
I will seek opportunity 
Watch it put away it's jewelry 
Sit back maniacally 
Schematic the whole the place 
Plottingly 
Run up n the place also smiling
With no gun on the waist demolishing
Any and everything
That's my plan 
To overstand 
And not undermine what my mind will conceive
For it's what I can grasp in my hand
The whole damn planet 
Water sky clouds and granite
And if too much for me to hold
Just u watch me manage......peace

Frustrated

I'm so uffing frustrated 
It's late night n my pupils dilated
Blood pressure sky rocket like I'm ovulating 
N life ain't wasting no time 
Like its obligated
Catching me slipping on the sideline
Right beside being patient
On a ledge trying to hold on 
Just trying to say this
But daily it seems like I'm not supposed to say nothing 
It's Vegas 
I understand the situation so I'm quietly changing
Nah 
Let me take that back I'm just tryin to change this
One perspective way of looking 
The only way I know that's how I made it
This far n now I'm posted in the land of endless vacation
I've traveled a lot
But this plot that I got I'm just trying to stay in
Too hardheaded to quit that's my problem 
No need in others sayin
Of course it's not gonna be easy
This ain't a game it's life ain't it
Yeah I'm prideful I know 
Another thing in the process of work 
It's changing 
But everything ain't the same so 
Now I gotta flow with the game 
Love every headache
Just want shyt to settle in
Because I'm tired of me having my breath wasted
N being patient
Seems to be the only remedy 
So I guess at night I gotta pray harder
That's what I see

Wolfman Falls In Love

The moon glistened with pride
Burning thru a blackened sky
The world oblivious to his stride
Upright, all fours, n back
Panting n snorting like distorted dogs in a hunt ahead the pack
The light flickering thru the trees 
Closing in like an enviable attack til claws greet a trunk with a razor like clasp
The window show no mercy 
Showing the night the extent in inches from head to everything
Eyes forward like a predator planning
Claws tightly grasping the trunk, scratching
Her body was flawless
Something like a goddess
Eyes slashing thru the dead night, watching ominously certain
Fur rising to a ward off stance while hiding
Thinking about today in the square when they both were hands clasped together feelings arising
Heart then then fluttering with joy but now 
Pounding
Pounding from grief
The beast n man mixture cease to look upon his beauty
His shaggy mittens with embedded talons 
Snatched away what hands could do for he
Snarling
Drooling
Fangs protruding
Anger polluted his head
Grief thru his veins like the wolf gene that now shows that the beast is outta seclusion
Giant rhythms of a beating, breaking heart still moving
His vision taunts him with sights 
While senses r heightened n smelling that scent of her he likes
Sorrow fills the wells of his eyes
Hidden in the black of night
He turns to shun her outta his life
For she'll never Love the beast, just the man inside
N he can't Love her becuz of the fright of a sight
Waking up, bloody mess, her body dismembered
From left to right
He stares vengefully at the moon howling his protest
For the unnatural has trumped over one of lifes greatest conquest........to travel damned n alone.....a merciless fate untold.......Peace
