LOTUS

wilting carnations
gazing at the petals as its browning in its sleep
meditating on a dream that i was grieving in
playing possum like its play pretend
mental leaning on the ledge
i was curbing to the blemish of my edges so i break the bends
cranking up my focus so i turnt the lens
persevering like a lotus as im blooming thru the mud u can see me then
main notice
im the necessary poet, for this barren land
growing pains when i hope that i could make a stand
all this shame that i just hold till i understand
frame it all in gold with these verses and another stanza
title type in bold,

what u seek is what u know
what u leave is what u show

so i dug 6 feet left defeat in the snow
not stuck on the grief i dont weep anymore

so i dug 6 feet left defeat in the snow
not stuck on the grief i dont weep anymore

I WANT

stains of premonition
warning signs like wary birds
morning skies
keep it frosty among the omens of attrition
seeing sights
of common lies
reminiscent
dont u demonise
past admissions of guilt
paths of self recollection
shits a long road winding down
eventual redemption
felt a stutter in my step
another buffer in the engine

hate breeding in my chest
got me wrenching in my passion
i dont question the tension
god the past just a preface
and this vengeance a sentence

want your love and obsession
i want your curves and attention
with a twisted intention
drag the hearses
cant u see i never learnt from my lessons
mary S U E i carve my words in reflection

SUN

2021 
22 
revolutions round the sun
yea the ending really tied to the places we begun
evolution come in phases, redeveloping my tounge 
whatevers cooking in the pantry, yea u know it leaves a smudge
and like the pain it never budges
like my crush for ms. hudgens
as my brain drifts back to high school all a sudden
momma warming up the rice and the curry mutton
man if time was a button
i would go back to days where i would bike with my cousins
would go back to days that i could let my grandpapa know i love him
alone and afraid, man i know it be a scar in my noggin
yea the day that he left i swear my heart wasnt solid
man burn it to the sky, let it float like its pollen
ill say im doing fine all the time, whats the point of even asking
death aint a line, its a loop thats everlasting
searchin for a sign, time is divine thats irrelevant to passion
perfect design, the relief i invested
let the grief in me fester

BOWL

in charge of my fate
yes i am
for this trust that i just found 
and displaced
terracotta warriors, i do battle in the shade
yea the swordbearer handed me this stone to stab my blade in

had me fallin to exploring past memorys that caved in
shit that got my brain bent
bet i write my best verses hiding in the basement 
im aumbemayang the way that ive been pacin
reasons i was blamin
hemoragge the vacancy, 
delinquency i faded,
workin like a stove the way im heating up these pages
abillity to grow thats the measure for ur greatness
hostillity u show

just wanna see the cards that u holdin on the low patrick bateman
yea this industry a bowl with a hole, thats why i keep my fuckin plates with me 

using paper as ur mould that shit be real leaky
but u sifting for the gold, i know u gettin paid pretty but im
pouring from the soul, u know that poets comes rare shit with scarcity
born from the island but im linking with the big cities

my fuse be getting short like its joe pesci
funny how 
all we really need is logic and a secondhand blue yeti
yes its 2022 mary sue hope yall get ready

SUN/BOWL (prod. Kawhiatus and Swordbearer)

Rain pours harder and the clouds grow darker. Life’s always been a shit storm of tragedy, no-win situations and chemical imbalances sprinkled with short stints of ignorance induced happiness. You sit in the sun for while and before you know it it’s raining again. Sunflowers bloom but die two weeks later. You plant the seed and repeat the process. These songs remind me of the time spent In-between the storms. I hope you discover the same optimism in these songs that I did when I was making them.The rain pours harder the sky grows darker but nonetheless, Sunny Daze are on the way.

MAD MOON - RETURN 2 FOREVER 2: AFTER 8 P.M. IN BROOKLYN

HOW U KNOW?

fruitless attempts to put a finger on a memory, 
grams and grabba really meddle with remembering, 
everything copacetic, defeating darkness like i know the method, 
knew the ending before they rolled the credits, 
pictures on my wall, pictures like reminders of my flaws, tryna see it all, 
tried to blind me with the fog, i’m a trying machine, 
if it’s love keep it honest with me, 
laid up like maybe this time i believe, 
plenty pollen but my sinuses clean, 
winter turn to spring still, 
in the crib but i remember how the breeze feel, 
steady speed still we move up, 
keep spinning like the wheels on the bus, 
why my skin full of cuts? 
smoking pressure do the spliff with the rum, 
make decisions thru the schisms i replenish my cup, 
i knew my ceiling wasn’t real that’s why we still goin up, like elevators 
ginger tea with the echinacea, 
broadway junction catch me running up the escalator, 
to the platform, think you nice but you ain’t that strong, 
hit the mission soon as my my feet hit the asphalt, 
walking light on glass floors, 
talking hot but how you speaking wit a glass jaw, 
some my niggas really tap jaws, thinking bout the days, 
we was splitting profit making plays, 
shout my brother nate he know the game, 
caleb he was wit me thru the rain, 
musta had a vision cus he knew before it came, that was just the other day....
