HARD TO TURN
FACES
WIND BLOWS
AND MOVES SMILES
TO DEFAULT ACTION
OF A FULL FASTING
BLASTING THE INTERNALS
THE LAST OF LASTING
HALF HUMAN
A BASTION
OF THE LAST BEING
IN THE VAST
OF THE UNSEEN
UNSEEING SO SORE
FROM THE RIFT
AS THE EYES OPEN
A SOCIAL BLAME
IN A GAME PLAYED
FOR DAYS LEFT OUT
TO DRY
LIKE TANNING HIDES
NON LINKED LIES
COULD EVER DISGUISE
A LIFE IMPLIED
GLAZING OVER BROKEN VIEWS
SO CONFUSED
AS THE AIR ESCAPE
AND THE WORDS SPOKEN
WHAT THE FUCK
ENTERS ATMOSPHERE LIKE AREOSOLS
WRITTING ON THE WALLS
LIKE BARING SOULS
AND I'M STILL NOW
CREATING IN MY VACUME
I STACKED JEWELS
LIKE CD WITH CASES
SO SEE THESE
WRAPPED LIKE FAST FOOD
DISCARDED ALL
 OVER THE PLACE WITH
ABANDON OF THAT
THAT FUELS
DISPLACED KIDS
FOR THE WORLD TO CONSUME
AS A OPPOSSED
TO THOUGHTS
IN TIME
I'D RISEN AND ROSE
A THOUSAND MINDS
LIKE FLOWERS ON BATTLEFIELDS
NOURISHED FROM THE FALLENS SPINES
THAT SMASHED AND BROKE
AND THEN ELOPED
WITH THE EARTH
BARE FEET 
THE TURF BLESS
WHEN I'M STRESSED 
WITHOUT PURPOSE
LET THE GRASS 
FURNISH SOLES
CALLOUSED TOES
MANAGE A FURLONG
WITH A BIRD SONG
DISTANCE TRAVELS 
THIS MAN HILL
LAST STANDING OF AN OUTOPOST
HALF NAKED I'M BASKIN
MASKIN THE TAN
LIKE ROOM PAINTING
TOO HOT AND I'M DAMMED
IF I'M HALF FEIGNING
A QUESTION
I FEEL EACH DAY
LIKE WRINKLES IT'S ETCHED IN
ASKING THE PAST
TO FIND THE ROCK
AND A BIT OF WOOD TO ELEVATE
THE TANGLED MIND
WITH ANGLES
LOST MY SOUL
LIKE I'VE JUST GOT STRAPS
 FOR SANDALS
TIMES A VANDAL
TASKED WITH FUTURE LEVERAGE
DON'T LEAVE IT UP TO CHANCE
LIKE FINGER GRIP
ON THE EDGE OF A PRECIPICE
WHAT IS THIS
THAT CATCHES MY EYE
THE PAINT THAT RUNS DRY
THE PATH
A DISMISSED MEASUREMENT
OF DEPTH
FROM WHERE THEY FELL
MISSED A BIT
DON'T FILL THE OUTLINES
HEAVY 
FOR DRIP MARKS
EVIDENT
LIKE LINES ON WALLS
FOR THOSE WHO FALL
AND STAYED TOO LONG
FROM FUMES
A HIGH THEY ENDED ON
LIT BY NIGHT
FROM LOCAL TENEMANTS
THEY FILLED
FOR NORMAL PEOPLE
NEVER QUITE YOUR GENTLEMEN
LIKE KINGS KILLED
IN UNREST
THE LANDS EQUAL
HIGHLIGHTED IN LETTERS
TEN FOOT TALL
SENTINALS
IMPLANTING STATES OF SYSTEM
TO ARMOUR WISDOM
ISN'T
AN INVITATION VIOLENCE
JUST SILENCE TO LISTEN
AND BIDE TIME
FOR THE RIGHT TIME
TO BE HITTING
THAT'LL MAKE MINDS
TRANSFORM
LIKE BATTLE CATS FROM KITTENS
SMITTEN SITTING WRITTEN
WORDS PISSING OPEN FIRE
WASTED MISIING TARGETS
CROSS HAIRS 
LIKE A SHIT CUT FOR YA BARNETT
SO YA PULLING HATS
AND HOODIE UP
 NEVER HIDE YA LUCK
COULD CHANGE THE TIMES
LIKE MINDS 
MADE UP

Stay On Target

YES, IT’S TRUE
I AM HERE TO HURT YOU
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I NEVER WILL DESERT YOU

THE DECISION TO BREATHE
HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM YOU
BUT DON’T GO WEAK AT THE KNEES
OR I’LL POUNCE UPON YOUR VIRTUE

YOU CAN CALL ME ALL THE NAMES
UNDER THE SUN
UNDER THE SUN
BUT DON’T CALL ME A LOSER

EXCEPT YOUR FATE
YOUR DESTINY
YOU TOOK THE BAIT
YOU FAILED TO SEE

ALTHOUGH YOU KNEW MY HISTORY
STILL YOU CHOSE TO DISAGREE

ARE YOU FEELING WOOZY

PUT THIS GLASS
TO YOUR LIPS
TAKE ANOTHER SIP

ARE YOU FEELING WOOZY YET

THE SIZE OF MY EGO
DEPENDENT ON YOURS
THE MORE THAT I BREAK YOU
THE MORE THAT IT GROWS

SO KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS
TO YOURSELF
OR YOU’LL END UP
ON THE SHELF
ON THE SHELF

ARE YOU FEELING WOOZY YET

YOU CAN CALL ME ALL THE NAMES
UNDER THE SUN
UNDER THE SUN
JUST DON’T CALL ME A LOSER

FAR TOO CHOOSEY
FEELING WOOZY
BEING ACCUSED OF
BLOWING FUSES

THIS TIME IT’S A WARNING
YOU’LL WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
THIS TIME IT’S A WARNING
DON’T EVER CALL ME A LOSER AGAIN

REMEMBER I’M THE BOSS
DON’T DOUBLE CROSS ME
YOUR REWARD
MY VANITY

DON'T CALL ME A LOSER

This is the most personal song I've ever written.

Tender personal reflection of my daughter growing up.

Make It This Time

02 - The Fragile In You

Hello, fellow human. I’m your friendly neighborhood Doc Deuce: a lyricist from the golden era of Hip Hop that valued lyrical skill and stylistic originality. Bone Thugs inspired me to rap with speed and melody. Busta Rhymes showed me it was okay to be weird. Eminem schooled me on complex rhymes while Gift of Gab was my professor of patterns. Put it all together and I get compared to Tech N9ne.

“I was born and raised in Texas, that's my home state.” The first line of my song “Thankful” states it plainly. By age 19, I was a college dropout and teenage dad. Since age 26, I’ve been a single parent; prioritizing raising my son over pursuing a music career. When my son was 19, he graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree focused in music production. So, not only did we both do a hell of a job, now we can make music together. He’s basically at the same age Metro Boomin got going and I’m pretty much J. Cole's age. Like I say in our song “D2xMH,” “If it's not too soon, it's not too late.”

We released two albums at the same time because I was approaching age 40 with 20 years of songs collecting dust. I wanted to get my music out there before I become dust myself.

Moving forward, there are still a few things left for me to say, artists to work with, and ideas to explore. However, for the most part, I’m here for others. I want to help my son reach his goals and contribute both of our skillsets to other storytellers of all types. I want more people to understand that Hip Hop lyricism is one of the most clever and useful forms of writing that has ever existed. I want to see my son's name in the credits of movies, video games, and VR experiences. I want you - yes, YOU - to reach your creative potential. And I want my music to be the soundtrack to your success.

Doc Deuce - Thankful
