Baribeau says we should learn to be alone without feeling lonely, I ponder his words as the world turns slowly. I feel at home for a moment, remembering a place I've never lived. Days I was young and I thought I was a clever kid. My overconfidence masquerading as intelligence stunted my development, an arrogant pessimist, my social deficits self-evident, to my own friends I was often a detriment, for years I was an anti-feminist. God how pathetic kid? Why do our mistakes have to be so repetitive? Maybe it's so that we can learn. Faster it turns. I don't tend to believe in a point of no return. Anybody can grow and change their mind, besides it takes study to be truly kind. Good intentions are hardly worth mention without knowledge of how to give attention and respect. Everybody's comprehension of the world that we live in is different. Be sure to reflect, not project. Empathy's the second step. First accept the heart in your own chest. Address the concepts that you'd rather forget, understand the context of your unrest. It's not easy, but I'm telling you it's for the best. I'm here for you as a friend to the end, condemned to walk a planet we could all transcend. I find myself drifting in the wind, so don't try to tell me that it's sink or swim. CHILL: Oh there you are. Where were you? Absolem: I swear I heard some windchimes right before we found you. Oh yea I was just hanging out. What's up? Absolem : we found a portal. Come with us. CHILL: it's right over here.

*scream like falling down a rabbit hole* Tumbled out the ether, three worlds in the eyes of the perceivers. Forming a trichotomy made up of the preacher, the nonbeliever, and the reaper. Death and return of the reader. Only trust teachers who wanna make you freer. Anyways, yea this place great. Clouds is shaped like tsunami waves. And come in many shades. The sun is like a paper airplane's toss away. The moon is ablaze. And just south I see a city made of clay. Stepping out of time and space, took us bout a night and a day. Entered the saloon walked up to the bartender and said hey. Just got here today. There's nothing special about this town he replied, but I could see behind his lies his eyes belied the very truth he tried to hide. I couldn't help but sigh. Swallow your pride, the truth will be mine. Yo love relax you sound like you're out of your fucking mind. Yea you're right. Let's just head over to the next verse. A: oh wow we're entering multiverse territory now. C: are we gonna go back to the world we were originally from? We could go back anytime, but for me there are still new worlds to see. Stuck in a fiction with no plot to twist in, no pot to piss in, locked and indifferent. I rap in firm opposition. King of wonderland as my witness I will stop when I am finished… but work is endless they cried out from the void. I laughed, as is my creative passion to destroy. Often annoyed at the way they avoid my questions. The answer begged the student to pay attention to the lesson, but was taken for granted. I can't understand it, and maybe I never will. Seeds planted all over the planet, but trees like us weren't meant to live through pollution and slow death. I suggest you do more than just hold your breath. There's no saving me, there's no saving you. Save yourself. Don't think that means that I'm blaming you. Listen, tell you what I came to do. Rebel. This might surprise you, but all of you are under a spell. You're the only product that thinks that it's the clientele. They threaten you with eternal hell, just to convince you that you've got time to sell. You're so surrounded by bullshit, you no longer mind the smell. Who told you that only time would tell? Whose report do you believe? How many times will you let yourself be deceived? Only the trees can speak for the trees. For whom the martyr bleeds. No reprieve for unrepentant thieves. Our swan songs will forever sail upon the breeze. For those of us who remain, we'll have to grow up while we grieve, and keep walking despite the pain in our knees. Sometimes the pain never leaves. Like an incurable disease. A virus, blending the line between humankind and machine. Trying to find the vaccine with a time machine. Two headed fool can't see the present. The answer isn't something that you'd ever figure out by guessing.

I write it in my mind, say it with my chest. My body's a shrine, I think I'm possessed. I am a God, confined to the flesh. One day I'll die, nevertheless. I'm not afraid, tell me what's next. Life is work, I wouldn't mind rest. I'll climb the Earth, and jump off the crest. Casadastraphobia coming over ya, promise you're safe as long I'm holding ya. Lost in the world? No, just a wanderer. Bringer of life, call me a gardener. Bringer of death, to only the conqueror. Warrior, conjurerer, poet, philosopher. Love is my truth, I can't help but ponder her. I feel a guidance, I can't deny it. looking for something profound in my eyelids. Writing it down as I find it. Lyrical science. I like surprises so try it, I'll be delighted. I wanna play, how much can you pay? Your life in my hands? How much would it weigh? The devil, a dance, the moonlight gray. Tell me are you having fun yet? I can keep on going past the sunset, rappers are undead. We live forever in what's said. Your mind an ocean, I plunge in. Looking for treasure, my mind is a dungeon. I burn it all to the sky. A law is nothing but a threat, even gravity I have to defy. Watch how I fly. Fly away, space is the place. The stars in the sky have a tender embrace. Let go your earthly tether, peace forever. Enter the void, empty and become wind. Strength is the second part of courage, the first is pretend. Take as much time as you need, breathe. Grounding yourself takes more than your feet… nothing wrong with defeat or retreat, just hold on and live to repeat. The future is bright, and there's nowhere it's light doesn't reach. Do you believe? Dreams is dangerous, what if I die in my sleep? Fear of facades, God's a mirage. Peek through the veil, valley of the shadow of death. Calm exhale. Steady my breath. I will prevail when put to the test. Trust in yourself. Give it your best. The key to success, manage your stress. No it's not easy, never said it would be. But think about it. Are you living as freely as you could be? Yea, I doubt it. Now let's see if you understood me. How do you fly? There's one only way. Be ready to die

Born yesterday. Couldn't sleep all night. Fell in love with Death at the very first sight. Felt restless. Worried that I wasn't her type. I just can't figure out what she like. I moonwalk towards the light. That blues talk spit truth to plight, but still I rise taking flight. I can see the curvature, dog. I'm high as a kite. And like any other day it's a good day to die oh what a sight.

Infinite recurrence of the same, I'm not one to stay in my lane. Defying fate, seeing better days. My whole being set ablaze left to drift aimlessly through time and space. Embarking on a voyage without a destination. Undertaken with the unity of a constellation. The power of creation removed from divinity, becoming, absurd, incomprehensible. Infinity. Undeterred as the lotus blooming endlessly. I remain calm as a windless sea. Ready to awaken the dormant energy. Bifurcation of identity and memory. I am who I pretend to be. I don't give a fuck if you remember me, and best believe I'm raising hell if the angels ever send for me. Mind-body duality fallacy. What lies between myself and reality, and why in the fuck is it staring back at me cackling?

Could god create a rock so heavy he couldn't lift it? Could I create a verse so perfect I couldn't spit it? You gone feel it in just about a minute. Afterimages in the master's kitchen. Flashing visions with clairvoyant precision. Time is crawling to an end, and we're the last ones living. Catch me in the distance, losing my religion. What's a fascist to a Christian? Master play the victim. Cyclical systems. Monopolize the throne and the cross. Take full credit for every victory and loss. No sacrificial lamb. Pacifism be damned. Turn the other cheek and Imma use my other hand. True combo, no escape. One little mistake is all it takes to seals your fate. What colors dance on the cave, brilliant black from a brilliant flame. Tell me what you know about love/hate/pain. Love is a trick of the brain. I think I'm going insane. I think I'm Abel. I feel like I'm Caine. My brothers understand the things that I just can't explain. You know what I'm saying? Man, myth, legend. Hand grips heaven. I rip it open and step in. Other hand holding my people. God bout to learn a new meaning of evil. Born in the land of broken promises. Government ushers in the apocalypse. The solution is obvious, but the people eschew common sense for providence. The human urge to destroy our own greatest accomplishments. Even when the nuclear bomb hits. The roach is never dead. I only hope that you meant what you said. The final hour bled, as I spit till the end. Only the real shit, I'm a rapper, not a actor. Y'all can't pay me to pretend. Fuck a thousand dollars, I'm rich in spirit. Just cause you don't understand, doesn't mean you should fear it. Make peace with all that you can my dearest.

Into whatever I say about myself someone else’s judgment always enters. Into whatever I feel within myself someone else’s judgment enters. I know where hell is, it lies in the recesses of my mind and yours. Your perception of me makes me feel forced to use deception of course. This leads to a peculiar alienation, a terrible isolation in a fascist nation. Selfish bastards hold the highest office. Hardly talking they walk over the fallen embalmed in their golden coffins. It makes me sick quite often. I recall scoffing as they weigh identical options on disproportionate scales. They think their opulent clientele will keep them too big to fail. Well we'll see about that when I start raising hell. The mind swells with anticipation. The antithesis of creation is not destruction, it is latent in nature. There is no giver, and there is no taker. Cycles and cycles, never an end or beginning. The sun keeps rising, the Earth keeps spinning. Perspective is key, in fact it's the very thing that shapes your reality. A necessity of your mortality, but don't let it define you. Not just your personality, your mind too. Your totality is not a tragedy you're resigned to. We're always changing, sometimes growing. Sometimes reaping, always sowing. Forever dreaming, never knowing. Go beyond yourself, you'll find out it just keeps going. Dubois to Gilroy, the crackers employ the same techniques it ain't unique. Through the centuries it hasn't changed, as we entered the digital age they designed invisible chains. We remain restrained to this day. Even in your mind you can't escape. You're never safe. America'll teach you to work, but it won't teach you to love. It'll teach you to hate yourself, and then it'll give you a gun. And say in only blood we trust, and after God we lust. Always chase the buck until you self-destruct. Never give a fuck, and in this world nothing's enough. That's propaganda they lodged in your mind like a cancer, but my hear me Earth man, woman, and others, my sisters, siblings, and brothers. Heaven is the flip side of hell it's in your mind as well. It runs parallel to your cell, to break free you must rebel. The inner is the outer, space is the place. The sky is in your mind, take flight, you need to escape. Yo not to be silly, but you need to reach inward my n-word. Truth been heard, we ignored it. I see the center and I fall towards it. Write what I see, and then I record it. Formless. Spit it into the void unblinking, it's gorgeous. No chorus. Flipping through a thesaurus, and much like myself it's potential is enormous. They want what I have, but they could never afford it. My brain is scattered and I don't want it sorted. Undefeated villain I will never be thwarted.

The devil and I share the same oppressor, we ought to work together. Maybe we could make hell better and live in harmony forever. I don't mind a bit of pain with my pleasure, and I'm partial to undertaking ostensibly impossible endeavors, and I know no stone could ever triumph against two birds of a feather. So on broken wings we will fly out of hell. Upon burning winds we will sail, and most importantly we'll be ready to try again if we fail. Until, rising higher and higher we reach the muck and mire of dirt, and finally crash through earth. Soaring up into the sky like a butterfly, the clouds pass me by as I wonder why? Why wasn't I born flying? Momma used to tell me I was kissed by an angel, but deep down I always knew she was lying. There's no use crying. Learned quick that in this world it was get busy working or get busy dying. My biggest obstacle to learning was that I never felt like trying. 10% of my power I'll make a man of an island. Crackers don't understand what it really means to be violent. I could teach em a thing or two or choose silence. I know what I should do, but that doesn't mean I have to act like I like it. Like it or not, don't knock it till you try it. Tried to give praise to the highest but I grew tired of faceless tyrants. All is for all, anything else is just human bias.

My mind move swift when my eyes drift. Adhd I ain't doing no assignment. Heavy hand love when I'm aiming for the diamond. Master of my craft when I'm mining. Looking at the clouds all I see is bronze linings. Forgive me foucault, but I'm turning the island boys into arkham asylum. White boy lyrical flow is so so. Cheap candy. Is that a low blow? I don't like to punch down, but I curb stomp. With the rush down, you get the work prompt, but let me take my time. Bane of the rich, I might break your spine. Step to me today, dog I'm in my prime. Shit, let me take a quick hit try to ease my mind. I'm the realest rapper that you're never gonna find. I can't help but marvel as the language aligns. Wherever there's a will there's a rhyme. I could try to take it as a sign, but I know this beauty preexists the illusion of my design. It takes all kinds. Time is a circle I walk in a line. Somehow the path still winds. The future is getting left behind. The past has never been too kind. Some folks chose to keep it out of mind, out of sight. I approach from a blind spot in the dark of night. I'm all bark and all bite. You don't really wanna fight. I suggest you take flight. Yo on one scary night I swear I saw the light. The sun rose and then I lost sight. Now it's all I think about whenever I write. The view from the summit, fantastic heights, what a delight.

Overactive imagination. The assimilation system locked my innovation in a prison. School to conformity pipeline. Executioners cosplaying as a lifeline. Placed the right rhyme at the wrong time. Sound body with a strong mind. Open heart, I love all mine. Closed case with a call sign. Scrawled tracings in chalk line. On an evening stroll? Yea that's a walk crime. If you're black, or otherwise marginalized. You run from your problems. I'm talking to mine. In America, we got a market for lies. You get lost in the eyes of your own oppressor. Till both of you end up alone together. Master slave dialectic. Illusory cave flame hectic. Don't ever call me a skeptic. I'm absolutely certain. I'm here to collect the white man's burden. All the money in the bag. Don't act funny in the back. That's what my teachers said. I listened to rappers instead, back of my head. Passionate dread. I can't rest till my masters are dead, but I just wanna go to bed. No mercy for the wicked. You can kill me, just please don't hurt the children. My art ain't no penicillin. I could kill a man with these bars. No prison. Punched the angel before they could touch my philtrum. The definition of a villain. Tonight's gonna be a bad night. I got a feeling. Can't shake it. Raise the ceiling. Get on the ground. Nightsticks left the whole hood reeling. We wanted vengeance, but what we really needed was healing. Calling it stealing is just a distraction. Our people are hungry, we must take action. I have to speak my truth in abstraction just for you to understand a fraction. As I communicate my dissatisfaction, I'm not looking for your pity, I just want the kids to be able to pursue their passions. Less is more. So sayeth the lord god bless the poor. I'll curse the roof, and I'll praise the floor. So what are you waiting for? If you got doubts I can make you sure. I'm spitting wisdom galore. Who's keeping score? I just got back from the war, and now I can never get back to before. At least not anymore. That's a closed door. Only alternative was a portal straight to the Earth's core. My buddy took one, now I wonder which one of us hurts more. My shirt's torn. Now they won't let me in the store. What did I do to deserve scorn? How will I feed my first born? My family? They're really gonna let us starve? This is insanity. Oh dear god. The humanity. Somebody please tell me what ever happened to Christianity? With my last breath I'd hex America's vanity, and waking from the dream understand reality as a fantasy.

Synthetic viscera. I pick my teeth clean (yum). Optic fiber in my pipe dream, high speed. Why he no like me? Shut the fuck up talking bout what you find unlikely. I didn't ask. Fuck the glory, it's in the guts that I bask. Ain't enough paint it black. Fate is fucked, but I'm up to the task. Fazers on set to blast. Buddy you're coming in last. Hold up I'm coming in fast. Clear the LZ. (Ayo) Crackers out here tryna sell me, I'm chained to hell's leash with the wealthy. Ain't a damn thing you can tell me. Pipe down (pipe down). Demons screeching in my ear it's a nice sound. Your king wears a light crown. Quit fronting. Double or nothing. I'm taking it all. Change is coming. Can you hear the call? Alaska's on fire, blood red. Boy I'll rip the wires right out your head (yoink). Disconnected, you're dead. United we rise. Look in my eyes. I gotta surprise (boo). Last thing that you hear. Try this on for size. Zoom I'm almost in the clear. Presto, I disappear. (Outta here) Year after year after year after year. It's getting worse. Bourgeoisie set fire to the Earth. The land is cursed, try to reverse. Miss me with all that fatalism. You're the ones that pay the system. Take initiative. Painful isn't it? That's why you fear responsibility. Cowards, you're fucking killing me. If you're giving, give it willingly. Give it your all. Come on y'all, it's blood on the wall. Open your eyes. Don't be afraid to die, then you're afraid to live. Don't be afraid to cry, then you're afraid to give. Be quick to forgive, but never forget. The road to freedom is paved with blood and sweat. Can't wipe it off. Tears of regret run down your cheeks at a crawl. One by one they all fall. Ashes, ashes. One by one they all fall.

Quick, say something cool. Focus on drugs, and don't get addicted to school. Fuck it we bool. Aim from the hip when I whip out my tool. I think I'm ready to d-d-d-duel. Half of the fun is in breaking the rules. I am a three legged stool. Baby come sit on my face. That pussy is making me drool. Cut! This nigga is acting a fool. What!? Say something say something cool. CHILLMONGER: Say something cool. Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. Swing that shit fool. I'm feeding fuel to the fire. Shit ain't over till it's over. I'll bring it back when we're down to the wire. I wasn't made to expire. An arsonist's lullaby as I lovingly sing to the pyre. The object of my desire rises higher. Feels like preaching to the choir. At least they listen. Wisdom provider. I've seen a vision. Inmates in a prison, driven to believe they're in a competition. A war of attrition fought from an unwinnable position. The soldier follows orders, but that's still a decision. Too many cooks in the kitchen, but not enough food for the children? Something ain't right. Absolom: Ain't that the truth? These days I got nothing left, but spite. If might made right I could just end it all with a fight, but life's never so simple. Your prepubescent dreams all popped like pimples. I still remember the blood on my face. Look in the mirror for the larva that once was, but there's nothing left, not a trace. When I was a kid I always thought things would change, but somehow I'm still stuck in the same old space. Trapped in my mind, but still out of place.

CHILL on the mic is nonviolence CHILL on the mic and he stylin CHILL how you get so ill? You like a virus no offense none taken, forgive and forget for CHILL sake yea. CHILL can only spit the real and that's facts CHILL favorite pokemon is Snorlax Absolem ignore that. (Absolem: I'm not a pokemon) CHILL move the crowd anywhere that he performs at, and he bless the mic when he record that. Catch a bigot by the toe and tell them where the door at. Got the people yelling they want more laughed when he saw the weather didn't match the forecast. The future isn't sure, but it's your's black. Go in peace. If you need some help finding it just roll with me. Real OG MC the crowd always know me. So when it's time to leave they go CHILLMONGER can you stay a little longer. Okay, but Let me preach a lesson about love and peace. Let me be a blessing to everyone I meet. Studied gay science learned we're doomed to repeat. The demon finds you in your sleep. Is he spitting heat? Whose report do you receive? Whose support do you believe? Love is free. I suffer not a misogynist to breathe. The ornithologist plants the seed, until its time to feed. Until it's time to leave, I will be a carefree mc. Though I care deeply. Dichotomy is not hypocrisy, except for when it is obviously. My philosophy emphasizes generosity. So, I invite you to copy me.

The name's Absolem part time chemist and full time menace. This is fully personal, it's not just business. Bare witness to my ascension. What I become is beyond my intention. I carry guns and far more sinister inventions. I bet they're scared when they listen. You feel the division. We're different. Mac had a choice so he made a decision. Who am I to break tradition? What if I'm just a butterfly's exposition? True my metamorphosis is not of my volition, but I wonder about the difference of my current and future self definition. Oh the juxtaposition just like the dead and the living. The past is all we were given. All is forgiven. As it was written we'll give our children a world full of prisons and carbon emissions. Nobody listens. Nobody cares. Death is in the air. All larva beware. Karma is far from fair. Sound the alarm for the unaware. Wants and needs. Ambition and greed. What does it take to succeed? How many expectations must I exceed? The manifestation of our dreams. A new revelation to believe. Machinations and schemes. Nothing is guaranteed. Seize the means. The best laid plans of mice and me. Executed silently. Melodramatic irony. We cried violently, but cackled maniacally. Standing defiantly. Your last mistake was trying me. Unsurprisingly I act decisively. Consequences smile invitingly. I comb my notes like who the fuck has been writing these? The impossibility of tracing authenticity through so many degrees of separation? I am all things with absolutely no moderation. Yet unsolved equations.

Dissociative schadenfreude, I laugh devoid of emotion. My soul never broken, but transfigured. I'm the figure hidden behind you in pictures, what divides you and splinters. Sinners dismembered at the altar, exalted but bewildered. Godless scriptures that never falter. Martyrs of forgotten causes. Human lives turn to losses. I watched the world drip out of my faucet. No need to be cautious, we've already lost it. Allow me to posit the unacknowledged. Elephant in the room, like shots in the projects. Your worst nightmare exhumed from the void in my pocket. God himself could try to stop it, hypothetically. But if you're asking me I think you're acting high key pathetic g, and all of that behavior is a recipe for disaster. Inaction is easy, but are you prepared for what comes after? Through the inner fog, I think I can hear laughter. Boisterous as slaves who just lynched the master. Turn a cracker into casper. Free black bastards till it's backwards. Hour hand balled into a fist, as the clock ticks faster.

This morning, I woke up as a rapper. So I went back to sleep. (x2) Let a nigga dream. Yo. Been doing this since a kid got this other style I ain't ever even fucking flipped, it goes pure scientific intelligence in my melanin name an mc that I ain't better than so I can get my lessons in. Pyrrhic victories I watch you all revel in, but I ain't never settling. Capitalist pigs can never get this messaging. I ain't buying a damn thing long as you selling it let me repeat so you can get this through your head again. I ain't buying a damn thing long as you selling it, but if you're asking what I'm worth I'm a little more valuable than dirt. Fertile soil, not to subvert. How pathetic, look in their eyes they're afraid to die. "Who am I" what a stupid question you'll never learn your lesson. Nevertheless I acquiesce. I am the master of ceremonies LOVE&PEACE the one and only or so it seems a contradictory mystery or is he? Not a single hint of simplicity in his intricate delivery. Most exuberant soliloquy. My dexterous flexibility builds to endless possibilities. The weight of the world on my shoulders when I push these boulders. Uplifting an ever increasing burden of responsibility. Willingly.

Every day's a wish away. I try to find a way to say what I need. Memories fade away, lost in the gray. My thoughts never change, I'm just dreaming of the day that I can escape. A smiling face is so strange to see in this place. I thought to explain. I watched in a daze, my mind ablaze. Razed to the ground, I racked my brain, but it was lost in the sound. I rattle my cage, suppositions compound. The doubt, so overwhelming, couldn't open my mouth, to let the words out. Like, what's my line? I do this all the time, but it never sticks, never makes sense, never quite clicks. There's no easy fix. Can't get the script through my lips. Can't find a way to exist, change isn't always a slow shift no shit, but I'm getting squished between a future that I just can't predict, and wants and needs that contradict. If I'm being honest it's true that it's just in my consciousness. So if I wanted I could be rid of it, but I can't even lie I would miss this shit, just a little bit, and yea maybe that's makes me an idiot. But I know that the world's far from perfect, I just think that my life could be worth it, and I spent so many years hurting I think I deserve it. It would be a disservice to just pull the curtains. The show must go on. Till the break of dawn break of dawn, let's get it on, get it on. Every day's a wish away. I try to find a way to say what I need. (x2)

I have a wish, to see what lies in the abyss. The truth hides. My eyes eclipse. I try to resist. I stand fixed to the river styx watching foggy figures in the mist. Disembodied whispers in the water float adrift. Doppler shift as they pass by. Could you take me with you? I asked her for the last time. Black skies in my mind's eye, the stars don't shine around here they just cry. I wonder why. She replied, they're afraid to die. I stop and stare. She asks where. To that far away place where, where everyone's waiting. She said sorry, but you're surely mistaken. She points at the constellations. Death is just the first death, don't fear what comes next. Just be patient. The myths of your creation are as false as your limitations.

On my neat beats type beat hustle. One man army: the brains and the muscle. You don't want to tussle with the greatest. I giveth. I taketh away. There's only today. No time to think when it's time to sink, time gone in the blink of an eye, tip my hat with the wink of an eye. When the stars start to twinkle and die, and the world is enveloped in the ink of the sky. I'll dip my pen in and write my goodbyes. Drink from the chalice, drown in the palace. Wealth inequality, open up and swallow me. Save your frivolity. I'm stuck in a body bag economy. No way out, existential anomaly. My bodily autonomy is in stark contrast with my material conditions. A futile dichotomy. A war of attrition. No winners or losers. Algorithms replacing the user. Computers are the people of the future. Humans are merely consumers. Outdated abusers. Sometimes I just wanna blow up a boomer. Full disrespect. You played the cause, and what? Now you can't handle the effect? Planetary neglect. Who's got whose hands around whose neck? If I'm really you then allow me to reflect. Blood, tears, and sweat. My one fear was death. Petals pirouette. She loves me. She loves me yet. I know that she'd take me at my worst, but really she deserves me at my best. Pardon my unworthy breath, but I must confess my love for you has nearly torn a hole in my chest. My heartbeat's a mess. I've learned to be unafraid, but I can still feel the effects of the stress. Less is more, so I'll give everything I have until there's nothing left. If knowing is really half the battle the other half must be the test. If I should die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take. Unholy faith. Bless the smoke of the accursed flame. Transcendent wisdom from worldly ways. What is left to say, but. I'm trying to sleep, but I keep thinking of bars. Under the blankets, twinkling stars. The night sky, possibilities endless. Mind racing faster than I can pen this. Type it instead. Autocorrect all the words in my head. In this halcyon age, all the writers are dead. All roads lead to Rome. Path filled with dread. Empires tying their own noose with a scarlet thread. If you're looking for the truth listen to what's left unsaid. Can't say anything more eloquently, into the night I must go gently. Don't tempt me.

Scattered light across the battered night. Crackers killed another rapper tonight. For you it's just another day in paradise. Black people offered as the sacrifice. The afterlife is just a pair of eyes staring past you. Bearer of bad news. Love is more permanent than a tattoo. I eat pussy like I'm the opposite of cat food, and I'm a fag too. Look down the barrel and let it blast you. Strange. I wasn't always the man that I became, it took change, but it's funny how some things will always stay the same. The tragic faggot. OwO is me *notices your bulge* :3 baby please puts your hands around my throat, cuz then at least you'd be holding me. Ok I got some notes to read. They say... Suspended animation, inanimate sensation. Once the meek inherit the Earth. It'll be mine for the taking. Icarus crash landed, but in the wreckage found the wings of Satan. Hell is what I make it. I don't need to fake it. Get back to basics. Pound the pavement. The streets is vacant. Shit is getting blatant, but somehow, they still complacent. How do we change this? I am but a humble vagrant offering a new arrangement. They shameless. Rat bastards couldn't look me in the eyes. Crackers wanna talk about a country in decline? For who exactly was it ever really on the rise? Word to the wise. Time is money and money is power. Power is the root of all lies. Evil really comes as no surprise. Systemic abuse of all who defy. Complete assimilation of all who comply. In the end, everybody dies. Let's not pretend to know why. To whom it may apply. Say I love you every time you gotta say goodbye. We are all flawed by design. Perfection is the plight of the divine. How absurdly benign. Who are you or are I to define? If we saw God we'd be pearls before swine. Read between the lines, and tell me is that space your mind or mine? We are inextricably intertwined, but also diametrically aligned. Take a look inside. There is more than you could ever fully find. I am so painfully confined. If I'll never truly be free, at the very least I just wanna be kind. I just wanna be kind.

I've got this feeling (x3). I've got... I've got this pain, the likes of which I could never explain. Death hangs over my shoulder, she's the only thing left that keeps me sane. Each and every breath that I take, I can't shake the feeling that it's all in vain. It's all in my brain. I only hate you because we're the same. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Live by the chain, die as a slave. If you only kill the master nothing will change. Destroy the tools of harm, and let none remain. Nothing to lose. Only love to gain. Alien Emotion.

When backspace replaces the eraser, and content replaces the creator. In simulacra and simulations of labor, crackers got the nerve to preach about the laws of nature. Liberal arts and Economics majors are your new white saviors. Yuppies in blazers. Telling you to act like you were born to cater. No more privacy when your oppressors are also your neighbors. Money ain't the root of all evil. The shit is just paper. I was really born for these bars, you know sometimes I feel like a laser. I know I could be so much greater. I curse my creator. To exist is a gift. As is the present. The past begs the question what if? The future is so easy to predict. The pain will persist. Awfully nice plot you got there, be a real shame if it were to twist.

Finger to your pulse, uh yup, you're dead. Don't act confused, you know what I said. That's just the truth, it crawled out of your head. What do you know? Another dead end. What do you know? Another dead friend. Where do we go? It all depends. Nothing's for show. No hell below. Heaven above, falling like snow. Falling in love, but taking it slow. Never enough. What do I owe? You had my trust, ages ago. I take a puff. I let it go. Smoke in the night. The past alight. Never even had a chance. We were born condemned. The flame battling the wind. Yea they gone fight till the end. I watch the smoke ascend. How do we make amends? A path to the future the road bends. What other choice do you have when you're chosen? The fog clears. My eyes open. As it would appear, the spell is broken. The city lights swallow the stars. The light never made it so far. Shadows casted by a tab of acid. Am I the only human being in this bar? Fucked up situation, but I'm stuck in place because I don't trust cars. Walk into the bathroom, open up the bathroom window, jump out the bathroom window. Walk with the wind. Keep my chin low. Back on the trail. The hunter is hunted. I plan my escape route to no avail. Drown myself in the holy grail. Put my immortal form up for sale. The story of a man who was born to fail. A tall tale, where no matter the challenge the villain will always prevail. Or better yet, avoid jail. Thoughts clouded as the air I exhale. In my mind hammering god down with a nail. There's something greater than myself within me, but I just wish it would stay still. Love wins, hate kills. The game's rigged, but it takes skill. Violent chords, but no guitar. From the silence rose a new moon, Neo-Noir.

Bars like Bruce with a cold. I'm Sick Lee. She cursed me. I was begging for mercy like 'witch please'. Nauseous Narcissus I feel the world shifting around me. No crown on my head, just a bounty. They couldn't even take me to round 3. I smash him flat like a cartoon. Young master with the glow no pt 2. Good art is made to be consumed. Don't let a wack rapper starve you. Peaks and valleys, cold morning in the sky I was looking at the stardew. I am not the one, neither are you. This world will gladly discard you. You can protest, but somehow there's no one with which you can argue. An immeasurable violence they willingly allow to harm you. Far too many wrongs to right, but that doesn't mean we can't start to.

The jam session is now in session so get to yes yessin. If you ain't asking no questions you wasn't paying enough attention to the lesson. No second guessing I know where I'm headed. No misdirection, my movement unfettered. My heavenly body untethered. My methods unsettled the men that you said had mettle. I'm pot roasting the kettle. Yes, we all have demons, but father you don't seem to understand, I've got devils from every level. Fighting a dangerous game to lay claim to my brain, and the worst part is they all share my name. We're one in the same. Lmg to the shame and I let it rain. I am exactly who I aim to become. I am the man. I am not the one. I don't play for fun, you make one mistake and you're done. Won't make a difference to me whether you choose to hide or run. Atop a pale horse, here I come. Apocalyptic refrain. Heavy is the wrist that totes the flame, heavier still the mind that knows pain. I live to tell you about it in my own way, I hope you hear what my soul say. I wasn't here for the old days, and I sure as hell don't respect the old ways. What I do know is the world's getting warmer, and money's taking us the cold way. They got my niggas locked up in gold chains and hallways, life ain't fair that's what they all say. No escape unless you taking the long way, problem is nobody's ever made it the whole way. The higher courts are inaccessible, does that make my whole life regrettable? I'm too prideful to show up to my hearing on schedule. How long have niggas been telling you, and you're still buying what these crackers are selling you? All hell is loose in the booth tonight. My new shit spooks. It'll give an oldhead quite a fright. Backpack rappers never pack light or act right. I pull the mask tight, and rap the verse like it's my last rites. White knuckle vice grip when I grab mic. Bad vibes. Need me a trad-wife who can girlboss, gatekeep, and gaslight. Endless potential like I'm at the top of a half pipe. Early final boss, step to me, and it'll be your last fight. (Game over) The gears of time. The daily grind. I find myself being eaten alive. Time dies. The mind flies. White lies, black lives. The child cries. The man wept. Two heads laid to rest at the mother's breast. The monster crept. The town slept. Only a few sought answers. All found death. Profound jest of a nature foulest. Memetic. God's laughing at you cuz you don't get it. Unapologetic. The justice was far from poetic. Prophetic dreams. The truth is only as real as it seems. New machines. The same regimes. Political parties presented as two extremes. Behind the scenes, they all know they're a part of the same team. Perpetuating the American routine. You're crushed in between. I'm off to the left finding equilibrium on a triple beam balance. Carefully, as a painter choosing their palette. Color scheme aurora borealis. In the kitchen. Hand up in the air. Jesus take the whipping. Take it from my hand. 42 lashes. I bought a new mattress. I still can't sleep, I still can't weep, and I still can't eat. I'm everything that you wish a man could be. I'll even be your christ with a money back guarantee for dissatisfaction. Trust. When you see me in action. You'll know it was money well spent. Dog fuck your rent. Tell your landlord to get bent. The opulence of the occident. Repulsive. Factories destroy plants, so now I plant explosives. Spontaneous combustion, but I planned for the moment. Know thy enemy. Don't become your opponent. First, diplomacy. Next, dethronement. From now on, all roads lead to atonement. No more self gratifying repentance, no more vengeance, and no more superficial independence. Born alone, die alone, but we have to learn to live together. Destruction is only a means. The goal is to build something better. Everytime you overthrow an oppressor, an angel grows another feather. Drowning in existential debt. Can't disconnect your shadow from the silhouette. Cast by the dim light of a black cigarette, matchstick roulette. A mask of death. The past still fresh. Poison in my lungs. Life from my breath. The story has only just begun. You ain't see nothing yet.

POV you're a black man who just got pulled over now you have 2 options, keep your composure or get mad exposure. False dichotomy. People gather round to stare. Catch yourself praying to God, but you wonder if he's there. Looks like hell in the mirror. Your final moments might be closer than they fucking appear. Now he's at your window, you're seeing him clearer. Anger in his eyes tryna mask the fear. Fear of what I don't know. He asks for your id you start to reach, but then he's like "slow your roll". Oh no, here we go. He's pulling you out your front door. Hold that scream in your throat, no point calling for help the whole country already knows. Crackers sitting at home tune into the show shrugging they shoulders like "oh well that's just how it goes". Little kids watching on their phones, I guess the silver lining is you ain't dying alone. I know it all too well, crawled from hell and I've got a fucking story to tell. Tales of unrest, guts, and glory in the cell. Cold bars the prison in which a real nigga dwell. They got me fucked up, they got us locked up. Musical chairs to the deafening sound of a dump truck in reverse, my whole fucking life feels cursed. They tryna put a nigga in a hearse or on a shirt. Yo, what's my worth? Is that up for debate? When the fuck will you learn? How these crackers got the nerve to whine about being replaced. As if one could monopolize space. An empty house is a waste. Homeless wanderer in the cold night, begging for change. They stop and pray, but wouldn't even look me in the face. Are we not the same? I am more than my pain. Intertwined fates, we played a zero sum game. I left them with nothing.

What color is the Earth? What's the point of the a poem that doesn't rhyme? Till death from birth I'll search for what's mine I'm not sure why, but in the meantime you can call the lies I've been telling poems. Made up emotions. Yea I'm just going through the motions. I got this new dance imma do where I hoola hoop out the window of a stolen coupe, rolling through watch out ya boy ain't bullet proof, so when the pigs get to shooting I might have to get the movement extra fluid dodgin movin. Shake and bake, there's no room for mistakes. Every night I spent lying awake in an open grave. My mind is a cage. To who am I slave, but my own name? It's ridiculous, every song is exactly the same. Just nonsense sounds used to fill your brain. I won't explain even if you ask me. The meaning is under your nose like acne (in the worst way) so don't try to pin my sound down, I'll just run away again fuck what you say I am. "I'll be damned" so sayeth the lamb. "I'm the man." So sayeth the man. The slaughter and feast go hand in hand. As do the beast and man, yet neither understands. Blood across the land. If this was all your God's plan he's a sick man. Divine sham. My poetry can travel the world in an instant, hitscan. Lyrical quicksand. I'll plant myself by the river styx and you can watch my lips as I spit nothing but the truth, fluid and uncouth. They called us edgy teens when we were just abused youths. If I may revive the dispute. Assuming you are me, and I am you. Who is who, and if we knew, then what could we even begin to do? Looking at the world from a new point of view. I can see the past is evidence of how much we grew. The future is, but a dream the waking pursue. Never knowing it could come true. The stars listened to my song, and left a review. It read "Do you not obfuscate philosophy?" I replied "Well, probably, but honestly understanding reality as an anomaly. The oddity becomes a vital pillar to the entire ideology." The question remains. Should I have just written an apology? I seek only to create art of the highest quality, in a country where education is virtually a government monopoly. When poetry becomes a commodity. Obviously, one must relinquish the illusion of honesty. Acknowledging that fear is merely a fool's self fulfilling prophecy. Confidence is key for the mc. Are you watching me? Do you copy me? Are you sure you're okay? Waking to the dusk of a new day. Within the absence of a dream within a dream. I rocket down from heaven as the long awaited impossible beam of the future to strike the Earth. Rewrite the curse in my image. High definition. New repetitions. Listen closely, and you might just begin to see the vision. Careless whispers of a timeless wisdom. You will always be a cog. The only question is for what system. The sun has risen. I give the gift that keeps on giving. Telling the truth by omission.

I had a dream. In my dream, I woke up in a room I didn't recognize, and knew right away that I was late for work. I got out of bed and started to put on my uniform, but then I noticed that my mom and my grandma were sitting in the bed. When I saw them, I started crying and pulled out my phone to take pictures. All I could say was I missed you, it's been so long, and when I went to hug them, I woke up. When I woke up, my first thought was "when will I see them again?" When will I see them again?

Feel like my grandma imma smoke myself to death. You niggas talking pain I got a lot up in my chest. How I deal with the stress I'm just the best I'm incredible. These the type of bars that hit you later like an edible. Your boys was moving funny till I caught em in my reticle. Always off beat and behind schedule it's a damn spectacle, and I like it that way. Just a know-it-all who somehow never learned to obey. I'm a rebel with a cause and a plan. To destroy the wretched laws of this land. Palms of my hands, destruction and creation. Power to the people. Death to the nation. One must be patient, and persevere. Make sure your motivations are always sincere. Determination is stronger than fear, tears in my eyes but my vision is clear. I can see it all, beginning to end. Death is my love, time is my friend. I'm ready to go, that's not the same as giving in. This shit ain't a game dog you don't get to win. I say with a grin. All in due time. I hear the church bell chime. The world is mine to define. Absurdity's divine. Divinity's a lie. Life on the line when I rhyme. I've got a hole in my heart that can't be filled. I've got a soul in my heart that can't be killed. I was broken apart when the night was still, but a twinkle in the eyes of god. A dreamer in the land of nod. A genuine façade you couldn't see through. How could it be true? Does it really need to? Say something too true nobody will believe you. The tree grew from deep roots. The breeze blew strong. Unperturbed, I'm staying right where I belong.

A cemetery within a coffin. What becomes of a world once it's forgotten? My final form is rotten. Nothing can stop me from stopping. Nothing can hold me back. My soul was never intact. My only plan of attack. Forward. I've been drawn, I've been quartered, but never cornered. Everyday life is a torture, but… the rain on my shoulder is life to a flower. I roll the Boulder. I have the power. The world's in my hands. It's mine to devour, but I choose to share. I'll said it louder, when this I declare. The world is ours, and the world is theirs. If only you cowards could just learn to care. There is no need for hope. There is no need for despair. You're looking for purpose, well I'll tell you where you can find it. It's all in your mind, so just take your time kid. Every now and then I'm reminded. Most of the time I forget. The way I survived it was blood and sweat. I didn't cry enough growing up. This I regret. Still haven't learned to cry when I need to yet, but I'm working on it growing. No way of knowing if I'll reap the seeds that I'm sowing. Guess I'll just live in the moment. That's easier said than done for a poet. Atonement in motion. Time is an ocean. I think I'm drowning. I saw an angel. Why was she frowning? I find my life confounding. I anxiously check my surroundings, but I can't stop doubting.

Corrupted. Error: could not execute function. I awoke from uneasy dreams, and now I'm bugging. Molotov robberies. I seize the means of combustion. Your attention has now been abducted. Please excuse the following interruption. What? Nothing. Peace to the broken and afflicted. You are worth so much more than the ways you've been depicted. Peace to the wicked who were sent to hell for the sin of ever having existed. Peace to my enemies. One day I promise, y'all gonna get it. My peculiar tendencies were met with penalty. As a kid I always felt so restricted, over time I learned how to resist it. Now I can live for the living. I play for the love of the game. No more shifting the blame. I've got everything to gain. Everything is pain. Nothing will ever be the same. I can't exactly explain, nor can I hide my disdain. The liar sings as sure as the devil claims. Eden for an apple. My freedom for chains. Prehistoric refrain. Rhetorical brain. If you remove the truth from reality then what remains? Grains of sand swirling in an hourglass. The world tries to pretend there isn't power in the past. The flower is cast. The die is in full bloom. The age of DOOM. Dog, give me 3 frames and I'm busting up out the tomb. Not with a bang, but a boom. The bell rang too soon, and strangely out of tune. Time is a cocoon. The future looms. I need some room to grow or I'm gonna overflow. Hey don't you know? As above, so below. Heaven and hell glow. Oh hell no. In purgatory just looking at my cell phone. Devils and angels trapped on earth. The first is always your worst birth. For what it's worth. The truest act of alchemy is creating a blessing from a curse. What they don't tell you is just how much performing a miracle really hurts. I don't understand the machine, I only know how it works. What should I do if I'm scared to go to church? The first will be last, the last will be worse. Ashes to plastic, my kingdom for dirt. With Death I flirt. She says honey let's not revert. Life is a desert I must traverse. Lessons like cacti interspersed. There isn't an oasis, trust me I searched. Dry mouth tastes like death, and smoking loud gives me an unquenchable thirst. Quotes satanic "chapter and verse." My every sermon endlessly rehearsed. I could tell it to you in reverse.

Black power fist cheap enough to make at home kill a white supremacist with a single blow. I got this ancient technology making crackers acknowledge me. Black ideology manifest in my body, Shaolin influence evident in my niggarate. I flow like a tsunami, my enemies fold like origami. False Godbody. I write perfect sloppy. Copies getting cocky. This is not a hobby, at least not for me. To be or not to be as free as I want to be. If I'm being honest see y'all just comically have no chance of stopping me. Remarkable anomaly. I'll get the best of your curiosity. My God what a soundscape. An absolutely titillating topography. Spectacular, what scintillating sophistry. I heard that y'all really like hypocrisy, so if you want equality then don't you dare follow me. If things were as they ought to be. You'd probably be confused. What are hands outstretched/ / in love to someone who has only ever been abused? They say it comes in twos, for us that means me and you. Who are we, and what are we to do? A new point of view to pursue. It's not enough to switch shoes. We have different ordeals with the very same issues. Empathetic rhetoric can easily be misused. A fight for peace might mean I have to hit you, and there's only one way of knowing if I'm gonna miss you. Like dark thoughts that find you alone at night as I intrude. Too much in life is misconstrued. Damn, what a mood. I love you, but that doesn't mean I can fix you. I hate you, but that doesn't mean I should break you. No escape, the case was breakthrough. Without doubt(,) the promiseland is just wherever they take you. The prophecy was heresy until it came true. Then it was treason so the prophet was hanged with their last followers in the same noose. In the end, who do you think they prayed to? Chicago landfills look like politicians. Stop tryna fix what the problem isn't. Land of the living. Death is submission. God is a system, I am a symptom. Pardon my mission. Tryna improve the current conditions. I feel I'm different, don't we all? Dark premonition, all will fall. Defy prediction, I can't recall what is and what isn't my own decision. Free will is false. The truth is no different. Listen. You're not at fault. You're a victim. From where did he obtain the wisdom? Admission of fault. My premonition was only the result. My Eurydice turned into a pillar of salt. Who shall I now exalt? Some paths you have to walk alone. You can still find a place to call home. A journey into the unknown. One by one. One soul. Once broken. Now whole. It gets awfully cold without anybody to hold. We only found each other once we lost control. I wasn't made to play a role. I do my own thang. Break the mold. Don't put me in no chains. I don't give a fuck if they're glittering gold. If you are not a myth, whose hegemony do you uphold? Oh to be alive and bold.

Weed doesn't bring me back to weed, it's everything else. At a certain point I just had to give up on asking for help. It's a rigged game, but they just say play the cards you were dealt. I got an ace up my sleeve, and I can't wait to watch the dealer melt. There's nothing left of the feelings I felt. For nearly 10 years I've had the very same belt, and everyday I've had the very same thought. To be or not. Not to be dour, but I'd rather rot and be flowers before I work another God damn hour. This machine kills Fascists, runs on black power. Green energy. Hey! Do you have sympathy for the enemy? Do you need it? Is it always all about you and whatever you happen to believe in? I'm not asking for a reason. I know you don't know the meaning, but if I told you that I have a gift, would you be so kind as to receive it? I have a secret, could you believe it? I have a dream, would you keep it? Each will be scattered into pieces. All that is yours will be given, but know it was already receiven. You are a myth of my creation, but I am a greater reality than you could ever believe in. Take this until my whole body is eaten. We will never be even. Be kind. I have lost my fucking mind. I know it's not hard to find if I was so inclined. I am a Hell of my own god's design. If you didn't choose your name for yourself what makes it yours? Is it a gift or a curse? Merely a force. For better or worse. I draw from the source. Fertile earth. When I return to dirt, it won't be my first death or my last rebirth. In contrast with the absurd I could only laugh hanging on to every last word. There is an evil I must purge, but only within myself. Help. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to atone for all of the pain I dealt so I thought it best to throw my wish in the well. Sat down and listened as it fell. Now, only time will tell. I can't spell. Cast out of EDAM. Everything Decaying Around Me. I wouldn't be safe letting my ancestors surround me. I proclaim into the silence loudly "how'd we get here?" Better get used to dodging ai cars. Steer clear. Objects in rear simply disappear. Welcome to the final frontier. Around here wisdom will teach you to live in fear. Just pretend that it's a different year. Leave your problems in the past you created. Crackers want a pat on the back for being woke. I'm sedated. We could sit down and debate it, but I'm not gonna starve just cuz your dumbass can't be persuaded. My experience can't ever be perfectly translated, but that doesn't mean all our efforts are wasted. Your life is priceless. Don't let them take it. Be an elusive artist not just an escapist. This world right in front of you is precious. Please don't let yourself get too jaded. It's one hell of a lie, but life is what you make it.

He, she, they, ne, xe, ve… we… I love you… more than you could ever know. More than I could ever show, but let me tell you. If I could hold everyone I've had to say farewell to. I would be so warm. My heart a storm I would let the rain fall on all without prejudice. That's not just a sentiment, it's a promise. You can count on me when the final hour gets to be upon us. Desperately I search in my subconscious. Trying to find the words to compose another sonnet. First, I must dispose of the dishonest. All the hate in my heart is causeless. You can not define me with your negativity, I'm not a mirror I'm a symphony. Better yet it's best that you avoid trying to think of me as anything that you could understand. I used to think my heart was like sand. Now I know better, it's a treasure. I've learned to weather the weather... cuz pleasures never forever. The seasons come and go, rain, sun, and snow. Just appreciate today, and walk boldly toward tomorrow. And if my love is unrequited, I don't mind. If you could look behind my eyelids, then you'd find a space between the absurd and the divine. The words LOVE&PEACE to me are where they intertwine. So find me in a place beyond time. Where the stars collide and redefine. The future isn't certain, but it's mine and yours. When it rains it pours. Ignore the rain on your shoulder, and think about the flowers that it's raining for. Everything's a matter of perspective, that's not to say you have to be objective. Your heart has desires that's irrefutable, but more importantly it's fucking beautiful. Let yourself love and love and love. Sometimes I get caught up in wondering how much, but I try to remember I am only seeking enough. I'll gladly admit I'm no diamond, but damn it's been rough. I was violent, sad, and young. Of course I did things that I wish I'd never done. If they put my heart on the scale, that feather better weigh a fucking ton. I claimed that I was only playing games and having fun, but if I couldn't have it we were all having none. Everybody cracking jokes until the cracker got a gun. Hurt people hurt people. The beaten son beat his bastard son.

Young nigga rap about existence. Young nigga rap about the system. I'm a young nigga yea I rap between the difference. Rap is all about the contradictions. Rap is no it isn't. If rapping ain't a game then what is it? Rap is a religion. Rap is like a planet that you visit. Rapper's be like "rap is for the fame and the b-" *slap* you mean women (the word is secretly business). Rap is for the slave and the victim. Rap is how we save black children. Rapping ain't a game it's a privilege. Bro, I heard rapping was a wave and you missed it. Bro, rap is endless. Rapping ain't a thang yo I'm gifted. Rap is full niggas on my goddamn shit list. Problem is I can hardly tell the damn difference. I'm the type of nigga only swinging for the fences. Y'all just offensive. It don't impress me. Your shit's just expensive, I say more for less b y' only even in it for the money. I rap for love. Be a little more creative than sex and drugs. Come on y'all talk about the issues. How the biggest platforms are all getting misused? Allow me to assist you. Bearer of grim news. My nigga in christ. If I done told you once I must've told your ass thrice. You can play games with the devil, just don't bet your life, and don't you ever roll the dice. Somebody gotta lose. Don't expect me to be the one who plays nice. I'm feeling lucky tonight. Take hypocrisy as a given prophecy. I'm going all in 4 on the floor, all 20s. I'm selling my soul, but for riches worth more than money. CHILL: You know that hypothetical rapper was just gonna say "rap is for the fame and the business" right? Oh, really? That's interesting. I still would've slapped him CHILL: Fair enough.

I'm not gonna starve. I'll never fucking die. You acting like you can't share a slice, nigga I know god damn well that's a lie. Some truths you just can't deny. I've seen the most obvious logic defied. Who are you to be picking sides? If only an imaginary line has divided you and I? How many times have we cried? How many rhymes must coincide for me to enter your mind? Seems y'all hardly listen to those that already confide. God knows reality is right in front of your fucking eyes. Open up and provide. Hell, I only ask that you try. It costs money to live. So when you have none, living is a crime. They've got prisons designed to strip you of your time, and once it's gone you can never get it back. This a rat race, and you ain't think we was trapped? Just watch your step cuz it can be over like that.

Think like Sun Ra. Write like Kafka. A new saga. If you've been paying attention, the plot twist should be no shocker. The All-powerful absent father said he loved me, but when I needed him most, he couldn't be bothered. The hustle never ends. Grave robbers. No escape for those who chase dollars. I found my place with scholars at the corner of bedlam and squalor. "Proper english" is but a dogma you must relinquish. Learn to distinguish between reality and your 5 (if you're lucky) subjective senses. Take off your presupposed corrective lenses. To each their own pretenses. Choose your own illusion of choice. Are you digging a grave or are you filling the void? A feeling destroyed. I'm feeling annoyed. They say some truths you just can't avoid. A man devoid of joy will once again become a sad little boy. Unlawful possession. We would like to welcome LOVE&PEACE to this session. Let this be a lesson. Prayers and blessings. Alchemically transmuting an instrument into a weapon. The human need for protection. Violence begat aggression. Generations of oppression. The natural progression is a future seeking regression. Earth is not a place in heaven. Forever is a second. My last breath rapidly dilating my perception. Time stretching in every direction. I can see the meaning in essence. Bleeding out on my reflection. Seeking perfection. Moving beyond the plateau of introspection. The king is dead. Long live the insurrection. All I need is bread. I must be the exception. It's Sisyphean the way I exercise discretion. The result of an obsession with deception and a fear of rejection.

I have a message for the emperor, but he'll never get it. Evening falls. After the law, could justice be made poetic? It's hard not to recall the dream as prophetic. The dour existence of a heretical ascetic (obscenely pathetic) caught in pedantic dialectics with a field medic over the nature of life and ethics. Life and death is a distraction. The patient bleeds watching the conversation fading in and out of consciousness, only catching fragments. The problem is, the answer only seems to exist in abstraction. My body is a damnable contraption. If my mind is only a series of chemical reactions, bare witness to my synthetic passion. My love is many things, but never a transaction. My peace is not to be confused with inaction. Pardon my blackness, or I'll never beat the case. There isn't a single line you can't erase. I improve with every mistake. Take me away from the fake. To a place where I can create free of restraint. In outer space I take my first step, after a deep breath. The poet studied for the test, but only to cheat death. This beat make me feel blessed, I let the stress wash away. I hope that you can gain something from what I say. Say, I'll tell you what. There isn't a why. When will it end? Where will I die? I only hope that when the clock hits midnight, I can at the very least cry "I love you, goodbye."
