Band Members: Rate my poem, Go here
Alone and thinkin, zonin
Then I pick up my ink pen and hold it
Like the bullet that went in, they blinkin, I'm frozen
Stuck between time, the pass and the present
From early adolescence, to fiends that's crashin and beggin
A pad is my blessin with it, I'm addin my lessons, so vivid
Through life, things I've done wrong, and do right
I had a few nights, of comin in drunk, fightin with punks
At club, writin to front, stomp it with gloves
Cats pumpin they drugs on Ave., I jumped in the cab
Head to the lab, grab my pen and my pad, feel the wind draft
Dump the insensce ash inside the hour glass
Watchin it slowly slippin as I drift in the past
Watchin the secret sands, remind me the extinction of man
If we don't unite, I'll think of plans
The king is a hand, the handwriting's on the wall of the project halls
In graffiti, written like swahili
All harmonic....
My verse runs deep like smack through a veterans vein
See cats on the train beggin for change
Need medicine for they pain, I'm in heavy rain
Sweat testin my aim, carve in my bullets with the presidents name
Destined to reign, feel guns bust while cats discuss
About the gats they bust, and loyalty among employees
The more weed, the more they mind's stay freed
The more the nines get squeezed, the more the crime leads
The more they blind me, push that light far behind me
I seeked ashanti's and monks in the hills, I dwelled months for real
No deal, but still hold the steel
Sometimes I spaz out, pull my pad out
Then my pad sprouts to a crackhouse, filled with drug dealers
Some thugs, some killers, my pens a paintbrush
Colorin the old school cats with gangstas
For every word that I print on paper
Is like a proverb from a prince in Asia
The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you would ever look,
The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent,
First rule of business, protect your investment.
There is no avoiding war, it can only be postponed to the advantage
of your enemy,
harder the battle, sweater the victory.
the greatest con was believing he was you
Our reason for fighting is this..
We were only meant to fight in one war only
That battle between the sons of light..
and the sons of darkness, ordained by God
That is our service
Now we see that this is that battle and we will fight..
Under your command
I stepped in the temple ashamed, naked and hurt
Wet from the rain, my face shows pain
I'm desperate in search for answers
Grabbed the panther that the ushers handed
Blood stain shown through my shirt cuz beneath, my arm was bandaged
I walked up the aisle but didn't stop 'til I got the altar
I was being blocked by the preacher's supporters
But he'd seen my torture
So-called friends filled me with false love
I spoke "Sorry I have nothing to offer but lost hope and an empty soul"
See the Devil tempts me like Jobe, everything I had I now owe
He took my girl, shook my world, lost my crib
It was all his except for my kids
That's what I thought 'til I'm at court with my wiz
She doubled-crossed me then slid
She forced me to live in solitude now the bottle's my food
But he stopped me cold and called me a fool
He said I was rude the way I'd intrude
Then I tossed him this jewel..
The greatest thing I've ever known..
Greatest thing I've ever known..
The greatest lesson ever learned..
The greatest lesson ever learned..
Most precious thing I've ever owned..
Most precious thing I've ever owned..
Though it left it shall return..
Though it left it shall return..
You judge me but what would you do if you was me?
If you saw through my eyes, if you've felt the pain that I've felt inside
What would you do? Would you cry?
Ah, thought so, I do sometimes..
See you have a home and a swimming pool, the big backyard
Large living room, fed with a silver spoon
You probably sinning too but don't know
Pardon me if I'm offending you but I won't go
I question my faith, been in a depressional state
Self-hate, one day blessings will wait
Stared death in his fate, planning my 'scape
I've seen D's stretching out tape
I've 'visioned prison dates, injected with the venom of snakes
Women with grapes, slept with in rooms pyramid-shaped
Walls covered with hieroglyphics, I'm far from religious
It was said in my first introduction
which was Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
For me it went deeper than just reading a verse
Seeing it first, I needed work
