And when it hit me I was moving slowly boozing
Swerving on the highway from the medicine I use when
Dying wasn’t working, venom from the serpents sunk inside the fucking places where the violence seems to surface
Lost and feeling worthless howling at the moon
As if to blame her lack of light for darkness I consume
The power that I’ve mastered might one day just be my doom
Swear one day you’re gonna find my body lifeless in a room
Time will be my tomb, love will sprout my flowers
Hate and self destruction will rain down like April showers to give us something better cause this body’s never ours
So buckle up and hold your breath throughout these final hours
Cash kills everyone around me fuck get the strap, time to take it back and attack,
All these people are just vessels and their waiting to crash
Our addiction is connection like to roads on a map
My direction is mad, your perception is bleak
Some day something somewhere listening will wake when we speak
And recover love we covered when we thought it was weak
All the lovers under covers really want is just sleep
Heard it once a dream
That forever is far, most wont ever see the better like weather in fall
They would rather feel it never than one day feel it all
Me I’d rather die alone before i see to all fall

Lost Streets

Now let me tell you what it’s like to be free
Cruising boulevards and avenues that never knew me
Till I pulled up on the neighborhood to represent dreams that my imagination station used to place in my sleep
I used to want a total refund but I lost the receipt
So I said fuck I’m gon' snatch it cause that’s all I could see
The homies pushing for the paper turned into disease
But that’s the life inside the dungeons of these murderous streets
It’s part of the scene to put your soul and heart in the stream
Departed far from where the bottom of the bottle would scream
They taught us all that for tomorrow we must swallow our dreams
In ancient times they tried to lie but Moses parted the seas prolific, thoughts I have are just super specific
When it comes to what I feel like a natural mystic I rip it
Real shit in the booth or the stage to express the broken lessons that I wrote on a page
Life lived and memories lost
Painting pictures on the pavement with the ivory chalk
Names forgotten never spoken didn’t make the report
But they resurrect in sentences whenever I talk
Inside the carbon, you hear it forming
Yellow brown clouds keep your vision from soaring
Helicopters moving at the speed of the morning
While our Mothers bury sons in the afternoon mourning for the, lost souls from the lost streets in time
We’re cursed but we say that we’re fine
And dying inside while trying to find what we think it really is that makes the sun and moon shine
So keep your eyes on the road and hope one day it unfolds into to key we have been searching for to liberate goals
We must leave our destination to deliver our soul
Into a freedom Far from anything we’ve ever been told
So let’s rise for the ultimate prize and go get it
If time hasn’t been on our side then let’s split it and coast, real slow until we turn into ghost live every second like you love it the most and just breathe

Cosmic Escapades

I feel so fortunate to been around the constellations
But my misfortune is unfortunately more than faces
I’ve tasted many races
And every horoscope
Some had the rare ability to make my aura glow
Others were horrible and lied to try and take my soul
A scorpion was lonely when I met her and she didn’t know
That we were similar, only more powerful I stung her with my stinger stuck my finger in her mouthful of love life and lies
Trapped by her thighs
I wrote her some rhymes and then I said my goodbyes like
Lovers in a wicked disguise she swallowed all of it for that I’ll always think of her eyes
Next a Pisces demise, came across in a dream
She used to wake up all the living things whenever she screamed
Her body moved like r&b I’m talking peaches and cream
Until this day her smile is still one of the brightest I’ve seen.
Take me by the hand I’ll make you feel like no one ever has
Far from all the planets we can build and leave a better past
Well make forever last And never have to wear a mask
If you and I decide then we can try and be our better halves
I met a Virgo vixen
Who said it’s love I’m missing
She used to tell her husband she was working late night missions
She’s down for all positions
Except the one I like, I had to let her go you never know where she might go tonight
Along the Milky Way, met an Aquarius she watered me with wisdom but her essence was mysterious,
She was delirious and wanted something serious I left the second night and kept on traveling to Sirius
That’s when I was stumbled by a Libra, couldn’t find our balance in the end I had to leave her
Used to believe her and thought that I would need her but her light started to fade and now I don’t know if I see her
I’m in search of something unpredicted like the images the lights inside the sky like to depict at night
And so i drift through life discovering and learning
To pass along my escapades

You can find me lost in the solstice
playing hide and seek with the cold
I was probably high when I wrote this tossing in sheets making peace with the soul
I have lost the war with devotion
licking at the wounds that I own
howling at the moon through the darkness stars that I sought to remove from her thrown
I'm the cause and effect from the pause and the pain that the call would reflect,
it was all in the text that the man in the caves on the walls would engrave, it’s the way that you cry when you lost what you had but you don’t tell them why when you fight every day and you hope and you pray that the thoughts in your brain won’t provoke you to die
I’m stuck between the world and where I wanna go
Please come find me.

Dilemma ft. Daneeca

Started with kiss, ended with the cut
Said she was in love when I dug into her guts
Swear I felt disgusts followed by despair but after bout a minute I was pulling on her hair
There was something there that I could not explain
Meditative medicine that medicated pain
Some would say that heroine almost felt the same but love is far more dangerous to put inside the veins
Then I finally came not across her chest but back into my senses
Like I almost sensed it I was so complexed in simplicity
Thighs and ethnicity seemed liked the remedy for me to finally let it free
Life, that’s what I started it
I know you’re feeling special but for now you’re just a part of it
Before you there were many birds that now have all departed cause they found out that my heart is only living where the art is
I've been living with dilemma,
I've been swimming with the sharks
And I've been sleeping with these hoes
But my heart is only beating for the art
I’ve been swimming with the sharks my homie
I’ve been feeling kind of lost
Shed blood now their gonna come right for me, time to show 'em who is boss
Bet I brought the sauce, flavorful as fuck
When these bitches get a taste they can never have enough now their face is getting stuck
Right between my jeans swear these women turn to fiends when I put them on their knees asking papi can you please
Put me in your songs
Girl I rhyme for metaphors not for whores who drop their thongs
I got used to slamming doors and the sound of breaking phones
When I’m working on my poems I just wanna be alone so be gone like moonlight after dawn
Or the flowers in the fall, all the ones I watered died so now I don’t return their call
they got mad and made up memories that I cannot recall
cause i left before the fall
I've been living with dilemma,
I've been swimming with the sharks
And I've been sleeping with these hoes
But my heart is only beating for the art
Started with a kiss
Then I had enough
Thought I was in love
That shit was only lust
I've been swimming with the sharks motherfucker
I've been living with in the dark
Can't find love in lust motherfucker
Attached to the feelings in the sheets

Predisposition

You see I used to go to church until I found out even preachers like to reach for tiny skirts
So why would hell be any worst
Packed my soul and left to see if I could really find my worth
This is the lonely dreamers curse
Who am I to blame my parents for the arrogance I heard
Love was only my concern I was young and lonely looking for a lover I could burn
in the fires of desire where the ashes of my dreams leave behind a pattern scattered that reminded you of me
When I floated down the river where creation sets us free something delicately elegant that only I could see helped me see
Where I was and why I breathe
It was music I was using just to feel alive and free pushing past my self esteem where insecurities scream
I found truth and love were similar to singular degrees
Where the combination places faces that I used to know into consequences faced with the decision to let go
Somewhere far away from space is where I’m really trying to be but I’ve been battling this problem of this wicked gravity
It’s got a hold of me now it’s been holding us down
So we puff and try escaping from these chains to the ground
My mind was searching for answers, it was you that I found
Now nothing ever will compare the way I feel for the sound

We were never really the same
Like the metal from the blade after battling rain
Couldn't quite cut ties from the memories chained
To our hearts and our minds now forever enslaved
Writing on the walls how it felt
to be the one who couldn’t catch you on the morning you fell
Never was the type to ponder if it’s heaven or hell
Because as long as we’re apart my soul trapped in a cell
Thoughts I have remember your name
In a beautiful disaster of beauty and pain
It was love I couldn’t master now I’m swallowing shame
In a bottle full of sorrow that I borrowed today
Sunken like the ships in the sea
That for now only the lonely hopeless creatures can see
Someone told me that I’d live to see it leave like a tree
In this moment I’m still waiting patiently like a seed
Hold my breath whenever it’s dark
Cause I know the way the shadows like to pick me apart
Then I"m puzzled by the pieces when I’m missing the part
Where the life I lived is really just a light with no spark
Roll me up another machine that relaxes me fantastically and practically frees
Me from everything that ever had a grasp when I breathe
In the moment as horizon cast opinions of me
I found love in the darkest places
As well as beauty in the strangest faces
They say the struggle is what will break us
But the struggle is what they gave us
The struggle is what will make us
Into the people that cant be broken
You tell me that these words are spoken
But its the feeling that makes it real
Deeper than these roots and fields providing many meals
But there's people out there that are starving
And others that just sit there carving, the knives into their flash
The pain they cant resist
Because its all they've ever known pouring out their soul
But no one ever listens
I promise you i will
I promise you i care
I promise ill be there
I promise you i"m here
