First Light

Inspired by "First light" 
instrumental.
Green tape instrumentals 
record by Evidence of Dilated 
Peoples.


Plan my escape out the depths 
of inferno
Time wasted as fast as 
cigarettes burning
As a fan of this form of art, 
back in the day
Listened, learnt, wrote a lot & 
I've come to participate 

Tailgate dreams, down the 
highway of life.
Seems to be the only thing 
right.
Roll the dice...   Snake eyes...     
Once again.
Times like these... Feel like 
running low on oxygen.
  
Or maybe that's because my 
lungs are charred.
Need to quit the old habits...  
Get a fresh start.
Easier said, than done. Blaze it 
up in the dark.
When this nicotine seems to be 
sweet as a nectar.

Maybe that's because some 
things don't change
Old habits ... are hard to 
refrain. From.
Dope addicts know exactly 
what I'm talking 'bout
Correct me if I'm wrong but I 
ain't. That's a word of mouth 


Sun climbing up the horizon
With a beautiful view ... 
hypnotizing
1st light... First ray...
Sleepless night. Waiting on a 
new day.


Stand all alone... Surrounded 
by nothing
The quicksands of time shall 
make me suffer
Even in a group of my closest 
friends
Feels like I'm distant & all by 
myself, Oh well

Guess it's just the way it's 
meant to be
Lines cross  & don't go parallel 
eventually 
Or maybe that's because I'm 
just plain strange
But none of us on this planet 
meant to be the same

We loose & gain... obtain & 
conquer...
Then pray for forgiveness 
becoming a monster
When it's too late... We start to 
wonder...
How could've been the other 
way around we ponder 

4:30 in the morning... Wide 
awake
For a breath moment street 
lights darken & fade
With the ground being pulled 
out from under my feet
Similar to waking up out 1st 
stage of the sleep 


Sun climbing up the horizon
With a beautiful view ... 
hypnotizing
1st light... First ray...
Sleepless night. Waiting on a 
new day.

Do What It Takes

Inspired by "Where you come 
from" instrumental.
Cats & Dogs record by Evidence 
of Dilated Peoples.

Some dream of nine digit 
account in a bank,
I take the music & do what it 
takes,
Some just rely blindly on their 
fate,
He play the hand with the cards 
right & raise the stakes.

Precision is the detail that's 
making a difference,
A long term investment to 
cover the distance,
With the right vision one 
doesn't need the guidance,
We just keep moving with our 
past left behind us.

Paths cross we collide with a 
blast on the impact,
With whatever's left we ride to 
the sunset,
Pursuing our dreams, pursuing 
our goals,
Some got plenty. He got the 
one that he chose.

It's the one & only thing to 
make him happy,
That's why he does all it takes 
to make it happen,
Letter by letter he just goes 
note by note,
Interpreting the music with the 
words worth to quote.


Some dream of being praised & 
accolades,
I take the music, do what it 
takes,
Some choose to blah blah & go 
for debates,
He got the courage speaking 
his thoughts face to face.

Integrity's the key core 
component,
If you got it, you got respect 
among the opponents,
If you rotten inside your head, 
rotten inside your heart,
You plotting your little 
schemes, watching em fall 
apart,

Go sharpen your little teeth, try 
to rip out a piece of me,
Blood is a deadly poison, rest in 
a grave peacefully,
Thought of "Why so?" But it still 
remains mystery,
Whiskey quiets  voices in the 
head "Quit whispering"

One and only goal worth your 
time. Don't forget!
Every single voice agrees on 
that, inside the head!
The maverick. Alcoholic 
beverage in a teetotaler's 
throat
Interpreting the music with the 
words worth to quote.

Without This

Inspired by "Synth moments" 
instrumental.
Green tape instrumentals 
record by Evidence of Dilated 
Peoples.

Without this! All is... completely 
senseless,
Competing myself in search for 
enhancement,
Without this! Light dims behind 
the eclipse,
Without this! I don't even know 
what else there is.

I am! Defined by my own set of 
values 
Still keep denying the option of 
failure
Withstand! Against the odds I 
progress
When plot plans don't choose to 
settle for less 

When a poet writes all around 
is illuminated
Would've never traded that 
away nothing is greater
Gift granted to develop one 
masters in time
Swift to fall these stars ain't the 
ones to shine 

Word is the strongest as he 
goes with it
Moments like that are greatest 
achievement 
Vocab's not depleted "au 
contraire"
Never did stop! Never will! 
solemnly swear!

Kickstart frozen heart, blood is 
pumping
For the love of this music it's all 
or nothing
If a spark dies down that's 
something to miss
Without this I don't even know 
what else there is

Without this! All is... completely 
senseless,
Competing myself in search for 
enhancement,
Without this! Light dims behind 
the eclipse,
Without this! I don't even know 
what else there is.

I stand! Through the hardship, 
without complaining
Steadfast with my feet rooted 
into the pavement
Barricaded, secure the 
perimeter bravely
Hold ground till the very  last 
threat is eliminated

Chose to go against the force, 
stay on course
Geared up & when it's time to 
settle the score
Ready for war, if it comes down 
to blood shed
One shot neutralizing the 
enemy threat

Simple as that - it is, when it all 
comes naturally
Sleepless nights to get this far 
gradually
When in silence your heart is 
the drum 
And inside you shine bright like 
the ray of the Sun

Thoughts collide, you try to 
pick the right words
Feel alive! The muse giving you 
the burst!
When it's gone... hands on the 
clock freeze
Without this I don't even know 
what else there is

Without this! All is... completely 
senseless,
Competing myself in search for 
enhancement,
Without this! Light dims behind 
the eclipse,
Without this! I don't even know 
what else there is.
