The Longshot
I'm the underdog
cause all through history
I was the last pick for victory
my first licks from misery
came from being here at the right time
but unjustly the wrong spot
when asked about my name
you've written mine as the Longshot
You'll never see the beauty in me
cause the truth is
you're blinded by that very thing
I also think that the more you hate me
the more I am your everything
but if you measure me right
I can show you things you've never seen
The way some of you stare
it's like my stupidity precedes me
what did my brain just leave me
I shine like a day with no evening
and I can't help how blind people see me
I'm the expected loser
and when I fall hard
take a good look in their eyes
notice they don't look the least bit suprised
I wanna be that splash of water to your face
that should be cold but only runs hot
I'm a snowball's chance in hell
I guess I'm the Longshot
I try to keep my face to sun-chin up
smile arched-grin up
some say that since Raph died
and Auliya and I split up
there's layers of hate
with anger in my face pinned up
I say that my biggest sin's LOVE
If I don't have you with me
I get weak and turn miserable
thinking of life as unliveable
now maybe my biggest fear is
that I'll always see things as
as only an individual
a divorce is just paperwork
true love is indivisible
I stay stuck thinking sometimes
will our destinies align
till the end of time swallows us whole
you're the only person that I bothered to know
so I say we dance..
dance til our song stops
you gave me a purpose
you evened the odds for a Longshot
My take on suicide will shock you
my death-I've staged it twice
and next day looked in the mirror
saying 'I saved his life'
I've had no one to turn at times
so I'm saying this nice
taking advice from my parents
was like placing a knife
in my hands when my day wasn't right
My father lost his memory from white powder
My mama is so hallucinogenic
growing up I downed useless astrigents
lend me your ear for a few minutes
you'll be lost into my youth when we're finished
sometimes the truest truths are demented
and the word 'love' can screw up a sentence
especially when the author's heart isn't truthfully in it
Right now I'm awestruck
hanging around town in some cokespot
life is bad caffeine cause it's 4 o'clock
in the morning and sleep's a Longshot
It's funny how people treat you
when they think you don't know nothing
hey they didn't know
even a deserted dirt road
can eventually grow something
You don't know
my heart pumps a fuel
that jumpstarts my soul
where day looks as night
garrison am I to fight through the bitter cold
I swear on the blue skies in my veins that I won't stop
to make a new name cause I can no longer remain
to continue my reign as THE LONGSHOT
