bound by this jagged edge only caveat left to one previous this total sum of thoughts unheard this echo now returned grievances second to none yet left of hope this is the plead song of all your reconciled sons this extra mile runs a long way from home with eyes swollen allegiances born battered and swore less of their forefathers and lone mother a soul tether was torn tarred feathered and worn proudly except outward accept not cowardice bred cross flowers & left leg locked . powerless bring head down into bed rock heed hubris and tread light instead fast. loosely defined against stacked odds went , with faith lost found use for the time spent losing his mind. I run true and shoot straight far from desire instead fast . froth from desire in red glass . sacrament wine . at last. steady hand , paints the sistine immaculate time spent in sacrifice made pain traced through inaccurate ends led backward at length to amend kept head held high when the adverse preserved & the matches were burnt & his stature was bent I had to respect it. unlatched , lidded lip preached and practiced resentment I had to respect . detached from his skin these so-called inventions in deep thought wondered what was actually meant where the credit was due when traction suspended and left unarmored, inactive again my heart was inflamed and enamored awash all effort and action expended the malpractice and mistreatment offend all anguish and pain when exacted against it breadcrumbs broke down crafted with hand. what it cost to protect what I had to defend? lay the past into rest I had to confess . is our friendship merely attachment at best? well . that just depends on if trust is returned when the rations divide and a bridge burnt collapse turn dust into dust And the ash into wind .

As long as the sun glaring I aint done caring Community raised , only had one parent Sensitive , socialist , man I love sharing So Im soul bearing Everytime I touch a mic Hold my lover tight As I ponder ‘what is life?’ See my little brother how we differ Yet so much alike I know his future bright if he stay Guided right I pray for calmness My mind rested on a silent night I seek comfort in the journey Im on The road long, God let me be strong Give me patience please. So grateful for all the gifts That you done gave to me I breathe in life And my lungs release , relief. I need some decent sleep Wish my grief would let me be I see my father figure Every night in like every dream May he rest in peace I know he watching over me Im always there for people What he showed to me. I keep my windows open Incase you need my prayer And fill my lungs with smoke and haze In place of decent care Found somewhere in between To meet for one that we can share And made amends before we leave I left. In recent years I turned away from blessings , Peace and methods least to bear We each collected further reason For our seed to spare us From spoiled fruit , and severed Deep connection, need repair Of desecration I at least expect an even share I understand I couldn’t keep myself from Breaching barriers We should’ve left alone And kept laissez faire Im undecided If it's me or more a weak appearance. You never seemed to care But I'm a seasoned vet I seen it, passing by I spoke and you replied With sunken breath disguised Suppose we’re parting ways Whether or not I needed solace from Is hard to say. I clear my ledger fore I start anew. Apologize for where I fell short And when I jumped the gun Running till I blew a piston And lent a helping hand. I promised you I’d go the distance Then revoked a bed And left you in a sad position Nothing wrote of my demeanor or my deposition. So to speak I learned to leave my thought For room to listen. And I feel freer now, at ease when left in exhibition. A deeper presence fill my soul amid the resignation Allowing love, I'm extricated from the pessimistic.

God fearing Bone shattering I saw mirrors, I’m not proud of them. I’m no better than , yet so adamant My own testament. Soul Caliber - I’m no better than the foe I’ve done battle with. Alone weathered by the load unsaddled for Whether or not its ever known never mattered, nor was it ever set in stone. still I had to strip it to its core to find balance from and learned to listen when my soul said it loud enough this inner mission, found cause belt ballad for , & bled straight through the gauze split callouses siege plotted, stone wall, sent ladders up , and pulled counterweight to ground , knocked towers over . Clock tics, took time, gave hours to it . spoke script, penned scroll - roam palaces the bell toll always known I had a talent for it , either its evident or hidden in this allegory I fought deception in this hell where I was tethered to. Yet, by his blessing, I prevailed. Now Im better for it. I was lost, could’ve let it soar. Allow my flesh to greet the moss Put the pedal toward, I learned a lesson taking losses Not to settle in Found effect and traced the cause to a lesser source I laid to rest, said I exhausted the vessel. Chose, when intersected by the crosswind I set a course. Nevertheless, the Renaissance Man met the shore. As I arrive its never my accord. Who let Gepetto pull the fibers out his spinal cord? Who left the meadows? I decided it was mine to sort. He sent disciple when the libel ridden lined the court, who left em hanging by the gallows let it strike a cord. We found asylum under shallow waters , dry the corpse., and fortitude amid the shadows where I slid the 4th. I couldn’t write another vow. Will he confess or try to hide it under vinyl floors? And when repressed I need reminder in my line of sight, and when distressed I took the time, didn’t mind the chore Had me hiding in the cavern, couldn’t find the torch. I had to cite my inner child when Im out of sorts. I took the pipette to the vial to divide the spore, said baby I’m the one to dial when your might is sore. The only shoulder left to cry on, wouldn’t ask for more. Remember riding in a chrysler on these sliding doors I made amends and put to silence where the lie distort. We set a goal, steady climbing up a flight of stairs. I’m getting closer now to saturn when I’m flying north. With plenty stocked up in the cabinet I hibernate. Until the morning I descended down the Matterhorn This Minotaur pelt coat kept pattern over monotone note , cloak monochromatic every cloth I was shrouded in, held holes , otherwise worn tattered Overhead , kept clouded Overcast sent shadows in Any cowardice or doubt held out of me, no. I could really do without hands holding me, but I could never let you down, still adding to the, 10,000 I clocked lost count of it, now who done chalked, who done got the most out of it? I know they’re coming for the crown, no challenger. I bear soul where another sold counterfeit. If you were ever in a drought had a hand lent, If there were ever any doubt dispell of it. I lead em gentle to the barge, set crowded it, and built the ferry from the ground up. Valid, but Fuck it, I might let em drown and not feel shit. Getting busy we were drilling in a skillset and you were sitting on the couch while we built shit. Applying pressure, now Im pressing on the kill switch. And when the bills due Im pulling out accounts. & offing flack so its less for me to deal with. Sure footed step lead me into villages. Pop cap, script, blessed is the pilgrimage.

Unless we share the same burden On the carousel steady I don’t carry pain forward My arms no longer heavy To the homestead, Left and brought a fair share of knowledge back Leafing through the almanac For keys to longevity. I started healing, Approach it with all levity The remnants that linger along Became remedies. Sun Ra offerings, Long before its’ setting And a thick lady’s Singing me songs and falsettos Old evidence said that I used to stress So I simply had to diek And evolve to all let it be. The sense of self Where my memory used to falter Brought bacon to counter top And commitment up to the altar We fall short sometimes Its all part of Finding the greater good To beget it, I’m left awestruck. Its incredible, foster lest we forget it In attempt to stand tall Contend to fall harder. A bold scholar Scourging for the truth And found the root of all evil A burden to other artists. I suppose I ought to be remembered As a martyr As I wrote a magnum opus To upend my alma mater. Old fashioned and based in my School of thought, You can blame the Paul Mason That he pour in his Arnold Palmer By the skin of my teeth, I bit the Bulliet Brought the house down, Bringing up all but his old contract. I sought to honor foundation of Institution But to chalk it up, resort it and Place it upon doctrine? Nonsense, niggas been treating Women as objects, Knocked up, spoken indecently of at heart. Gotta stop this shit. Fuck it, the weakness is all talk If he's putting his paws upon her We’re leaving him unconscious Knees buckle, we need you to walk tall. It's been a long way coming, believe me You’re not far. Remember when I hated what I saw Up in the mirror, Every morning now I offer Every ounce of my amor. And to be honest. I'm in competition with myself For my heart’s sake. Shucks, but to me? It's no contest.
