I had a lot of fun with this piece…(silent mental beats playing in my head – again, I feel alive in the midst of severe brain fog/stress/life happening). My intent is for the brutally honest Southern hood dialect orientation to epitomize the concept of a life from any walk (and the stuff that comes with it) to be ‘felt’.
I hope you guys enjoy!
Life Goes Lyrical
Tired – try’in to steal a nap like a thief in a robbery
Sick – cause the weather bipolar like a fake real housewife on TV
Broke as the Ten Commandments when Moses stepped down from the MT – couldn’t believe what his eyes did see
Tripp’in – like a stumbling block in my way cause b****es be hatin on me
But still good, cause I ain’t a slave to the world sayin, “F*** it!” like ‘2Pac’, set me free
Still be up – when my life be ’bout to crumble and fall
Come out fight’in – when my back is pushed against tha wall
Shawt – like a munchkin, but mentally standing tall
Throw at me what you will – whistle blown, flag thrown, my court – my ball!
Darkness invades – as if my midnight is on tha loose
Tie a big knot, rope it up, kick my chair, – look up at tha noose
But it ain’t for my neck, you damned silly goose
Just hang’in up all my hang-ups – time to let it all loose
Times got to get betta – that’s all I’m say’in
Don’t get pissed off at me cause U evol’vin and I’m still pray’in
No time for tha BS – put a cap on tha monkey-ass play’in
My miss’in link ain’t no invisible ape –
Just a nomadic biped – survive’in… gray’in
