Throwing haymakers at the full size in my pops crib
Sick and tired of punching through the plaster
Tears in eyes, hope for happy ever afters, a half-witted child...
Fish for everlasting answers with a mangled, bad hook, plus they swim for miles...
With unforgiving laughter, sadistic fashion
Fuck the vanities, simple fad shit
All these manic scenes filled with passion
Question sanity, my temple damaged I think
So who am I to preach to the masses?
Me
Search through scripture tryna paint the picture
Scribble sentences on blank canvases
Damage liver off some fancy liquor

Tryna loose these chains off me but they scorpion widdit

Another foot I gain off it, back forcing me in it

Like a boomerang coffin, lost, thinking...“the Force was just with me...?”

The za done scorched my brain, coughing, thoughts bringing the LORD’s final vengeance

Hell fire brimstone to the mental,
Feeling too old to stand ten toes, my limbs gone
Eating lentils ‘fore the fast, tryna keep my ribs closed
Was puking out my damn soul tryna save it on Atonement
Singeing fingers while the stove lit so I won’t linger to uphold them
Keep in remembrance, I don't want that
Yeah

Please

Please

Please don’t let me fall by the wayside behind the leaves
Hugh, yeah
Screaming "throw these chains off me to the side" til I’m free 
Yeah
Free me

I record poetry sometimes... Digging for samples before the internet existed. I've worked in print & radio journalism. I co-hosted & hosted multiple radio shows & a top rated podcast [Straight From The Underground 2.0, Producer's Corner (the original one... some cats came along later who copied the name) Culture Cultivators (syndicated radio show with Zerosystem & Northern Light@)]
I wrote a children's book: Raise: Train Up A Child In The Way available on Amazon
