The How Sharpens The Pen. (20’-25’)

It’s Been a while

{Verse 1}

whoever told you i was through with this rap shit
Never knew a truer self ever since yall took a nap on the kid    
Holding back i put the crystal back in the hilt & ignite it 
Whos coming back? Nobody, a ghost amongst a crown eventually turning to smoke whomever be king now Ill slight it 
Push on the chest
hold a sword to your vest even the holiest of angels couldn’t stop my unrest 
im best out no one knows  be less proud until you see  a king crowned 
But applauds when a slave drowns hate be the death yall 
prolly wont kick it w 80% of yall  thats why i keep to myself soul heart mind and body 
you dont know spirit until you lose hope 
Nothing at the bottom so thats why i tie rope  (prolly)
Just To pull us both up or to watch you choke (prolly)
Some aint meant for this world but im blessing this world (prolly)
I wont poke your pain or pick at your folly, watch me 
Suffer in agony then tell everyone you down for me (hardly)
Ever trust anyone anymore anything everything i achieve im siamese when a storm come a knockin in my noggin heavy fog and rain everyday is a problem 
Catch a breath then a fade to my last step no parade when my soul left 
Just a blade to your own neck when this plays at your wake i burn a bukae at your door step 

Just a warning......

Birth of The Samurai

The Journey Continues…


shadows pass on the daily
 nobody could play me 
these shadows we chat telepathically 
i build up my body becoming the best of me even now 
my worst is the better investment then sheep like minds you sleep all the time-why your eyes aint as open as mine 
i build up my spirit nobody could near it protect it because of these wolves and these witches, hayenas, magicians gaslighters and liars 

all bringing a fire watch closely or burn 
I never could wait so Im bringing the cool my sword and an urn 
when will they learn 
i swear theyre like demons in forms from earth 
see I know what im worth in society no noteriety 
built this entirely 
blood sweat & fears 
ive mastered my art now im back in my ears 
the bliss that i feel when ive healed all the wounds 
reminding myself that i do this for you 
the one who is lost- someone pulling through 
I know what it costs 
all of your sinew
you better get up because time is Tik Toking 
masses of darkness so here is the spark and the lighter fluid 
cast figures passing through 

like shadows

Shadows

“Like the inferior vena cava, heartbreak brings all the weight back to the heart, hoping it’ll still find a way to carry on.”

Lyrics:


you reach into my mind 

you read between the lines i got the streets on fire girl you dont have to remind me 

i just stay low making time 

Im already on my grind

rome wasnt built in one night i 
i used to think it was fine 

that i really pay no mind 

but losing you isnt right its taking me from my grind 

with only you on my mind 

this feels like a waste of time girl

dont remind me girl of the pain i go with you
without you i go through all the moons and the suns 
just to be where you are where you from 
from the moon to the veins in your heart
i refrain from the sins that the world gives plain in sight just to split this apart you hold tight i just might
take this flight and lose sight cant rewind its an art 

Dear Divine, are you blind, You’re so Bright

every day and night

i toss and turn 
to sleep i go
in my dreams i learn
in my dreams i burn
cuz 
im alone with
out your love i
dont know what i am gonna do 



Girl, I really wanna work this out 'cause I'm tired of fighting
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you (you, you)
I said I really wanna work this out, damn, girl, I'm trying
It's no excuse, no excuse (but I got this)
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (but I got this)
Got this icebox where my heart used to be (said I got it)
No, I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold
No, I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold (but I got this)

The Inferior Vena Cava

i got money
i got love 
i got trees 
I got…

motivation preperation for these dreams 
i got
leave a wad of cash on counter for my g momma
and make sure baby eating well fold all the sheets for ya
wanna make this future bright 
baby keep off the streets ,wont cha
got my side, I mean this ours
we gon do right by US
cuz if one of us left 
how we holding this together
made for the three of us?
just didnt take hours 
mightve taken days 
took years just to trust in our ways
id never have it any other way
Psychics were right 
youre my soul mate

palms of the hands tell the future but the future be changing right….

so get it together lets make this forever will you, [michelle] be my wife? 

be my wife 
like all time 
no fall time 
its sunny wit us
i keep it a hunnid 
you know it aint none 
classy baggy & bummy 
keep it a buck

Me you and Zion 
the world is just ours 
i gotta keep healthy for you and for us 
no longer bout me 
put them words in this booth 
till the world listen up
or they see a way through 
just to keep their ears shut 
if they sleep one more time 
bet they never wake up
i dont give a fuck 
Ima do things right till the real link up

(sing)

I know we are taking our time 
but that is just fine 
i hope we are mindful that
we cannot just take it back 
gotta have faith in that 
or we should move on 
this aint the song for that 

cuz
somebody gotta be the glue 
should it be me if it aint you? 
masks off, let us see the truth 

I seen em they come and they go
watch how we rise  through these ebb and these flows, 
cutting off all of these hoes 
whenever we ride its on God time
whenever We slide its from my mind 
i hold no status but dada 
buy experiences for my mom
loving family
and Thank God


whatever you want 
baby i got it 

whatever you need 
lady i copped it 

whenever you hungry
lemme feed that tummy 

whenever you want me 
just do something for me 

i need (got) money

i need love 

i need trees

i got

MoneyLoveTrees.

hold my sword til im finished
got another one  tucked if you sinners would rather sin better gather your sit ins 
i have another one tucked once this blade blunted ive got a sharper one, hush 
before you  gush red like hillary’s blush 
shush, silence when the doves go up 
so whyd you lie? 
a priest told me you either fly or fry 
The beats telling me to dig up 
all of the lines from out of my mind 
im dying man
pressure bust pipes or create diamonds 
in minimal time 
and in no rush
i create space infinite 
if no one to trust 
Im knowing of lust 
but loyalty isnt common to us 
rare in a room full of choices 
but its your voice 
that makes me duet 
a poet playing russian roulette, ironic 
seems like death make it iconic
so i fill all the gaps aim it at you if you want it, blaow
sing a song of
 how you used to knew me, now
all these fake friends and homies made to hold you, down
in these shark infested waters -better if i drowned yall better bow once i float holding up my crown

Float

VERSE 1
Man i almost was a bastard
glad my mom and poppa married
was inside my momma’s tummy while that wedding dress so stunning

dreams that I’ll become a star
take our culture light-years farther
don’t need rhymes — I match the barz
with feelings that relate way closer

keep your metaphors — I found the meta
for running these rappers out the doors
’cause I’m hearing they ask,
’cause they’re not sure:

“does anybody make real shit anymore?”

hit you with the crossover — A.I.
I’m bringing you the Answer like 76
premium gas, blow past, and I’m already lit

she told me take it to the basket —
rather see rappers in caskets

you catchin’ deez?
all of my sons
there’s nowhere to run
creating from experience while you bite off and shun

I’m on the loose
you just a brain that my pen boutta noose
got you on the news — but you already knew
I was ’boutta do it when I told you:
ain’t nothing true about cha

taught you ’bout karma
and yet I caught your body

the simplest forms of love
is to help you see what I see — the unconventional
revolution within the soul

if it wasn’t born from within
then it is artificial
if it wasn’t from within
then it’s artificial

draw the line between love and hate
and meditate
& may the universe be with you

VERSE 2

I saw it throughout and within —
and throughout again
through all of it
I gained from it amends

with these two hands
together built a faith lasting forever

tested time and time again
I looked throughout and within

I screamed out to the world
as if it owed me some shit
then took it upon myself
to look again —
throughout and within

even at the ugliest parts
I sat with Honesty — the darker me
the enlightened and the God in me
rejuvenating a part of me
that flows with the wind

throughout and within

unlocking secrets of the universe
you must look first:
throughout and within

Throughout & Within
