Are my perfect imperfections
Worth it even after rejections
Even after passing inspections
Those evils are a hard and infectious
Memories of pain turn to life sentence
Horrible dreams invading all my senses
Tears shed but they will never end this
But that’s when love made an entrance.
I’m the sensational underachiever
The ultimate nonbelievers dreamer
The quiet one till screams are heard
Silence breeds death I’m cured with words
The ignorant only want the best product
Survival guide for life and love uncovered
Eyes reveal truth in a world of blind wonders.
This is state of the art/
The state of my art/
From the state of my heart/
Patronage of the art/
Straight from the heart…
I’m not paid for my art/
Just a place for this pain to be discard/
So they can’t say…
I didn’t make it this far/
From the words that’ve been taken apart/
For the souls taken at large/
They say you get what you give….
And that is labeled as charged/
They wonder If it was the pain…
That made you this hard/
Not realizing it was this fate that’s involved/
Faith that’s evolved/
They want to replace what you made great with their scars/
With no end in sight and can’t explain this part/
But I shine bright and remain in the stars.
They tried to defeat me and write me off/
But learning lessons aren’t like a loss/
For every reaction there’s a cause/
For every action no doubt there’s a cost…
I survived through the dark and the noise/
My heart even when broken kept me poised/
Taking chances…
Falling down and getting up only takes advances/
Me and the hard times are like those hate&love romances/
I don’t live for the questions…
I only find the answers/
Knowing difficulties are around the corner and won’t vanish/
I’ve done taken damage/
Been taken advantage/
But my roar is savage/
My will is isn’t average/
Still some wonder how I manage/
My character describes what this man is/
Those open hands is… Bad biz/
I can’t part for those not in my faction/
Not even a fraction/
Steady eyes on the prize with no distractions/
Can’t give up till I make it happen/
Haters laughing and doubt with an evil passion/
Reason I keep a smile on my face and keep passing/
On my way to the top of that mountain of my revival/
It’s been a key to my survival/
To push through and fight their denial.
Can’t ever feel defeated/
This light shines on the depleted/
We take it or we leave it/
It’s with outstanding meaning/
This is my perseverance/
The strength engulfed in my spirit/
Some hear it… And some fear it/
This energy I find myself filled with/
Gives life and breaths fire into my soul/
Resurrects the structure of my bones/
Till I’m like a hard to move object of stone/
Holding my own wherever I tend to roam/
They expect me to fall and crawl on my own/
Cave under the pressure and stay out of the zone/
But I’m ready for the unknown it’s what I prepared for/
Therefore/
It’s like I’ve been here before/
It’s nothing but the more or less/
It’s all I have been built for in the flesh/
Conquer it and move on to the next.
Concrete jungle/
Filled with sirens and hustle/
Where they either hate or love you/
And this illusion is a reality for a few/
So I rise and shine for the ultimate grind/
My mind shines, I’m a one of a kind/
Can’t find a crack or a weakness/
Your enemies talk down when they speak this/
Your rivals walk around unsteady when they see this/
They can’t believe this…./
After barrages and sabotages keeping you from complicated accomplishments/
Your will defeated the odds and didn’t comply with their vileness/
Watch them view you with unwanted astonishment/
As you break past their broken promises/
Because nobody can promise this/
Standing tall like a champ on your Mount Olympus for all to witness/
No give up or give in for this victory/
You are now a part of their history.
They tried to capitalize/
Wishing on my demise/
But I’ve seen the eyes/
Of those of have tried/
Pushing and pulling hate/
It’s how I made my great escape/
Some don’t understand my ways/
Reason why I keep to myself today/
Damaged souls trying to take a toll/
Trying to make me fold from my mold/
But I won’t be sold out I’m priceless/
Understand my love for the life I live/
How my days struggled to where my nights is/
How I corrected my wrongs with the righteous/
And gave me the courage to write this/
Staggering out of the dark to where the light is.
I can still hear your voice
Messages on my phone
Crowded subway cars but I’m alone
It always seems I’m far from home
Passing under street lights
Where we paused to see life
9th Street in a history we can’t rewrite
How does it feel
What if our could have
Could have been everything
Would you have changed it all
Would you have changed it all
Would you have changed it at all
Bus rides going crosstown
Never been here before I’m lost now
Between heartbreak avenue
And losing it all just to have you
And I never fell so hard
And i’ve never felt so odd
But I jumped on with nowhere to go
But I just want to know
How does it feel
What if our could have
Could have been everything
Would you have changed it all
Would you have changed it all
Would you have changed it at all
Seasons change
And people change
It all seems so strange
Just your reasons to blame
Can’t believe you’re the same
Can’t believe you’re the same
I though you were my change
Why does it feel like the room is spinning around/
Why is everything out of my control even when not allowed/
Cover my eyes and forget what the doubt is/
But the truth speaks the loudest…
So the downfall is that of the proudest/
I stood to think about this…
As the struggles mounted/
And to all my blessings that have been wrongfully counted/
Enemies that’ve been ousted/
That’s in the past and I’m more now’ish/
The wise hear the whispers clearly as if they were loudly sounded/
And my positives took those negatives and had them re-routed/
The scene clouded/
Beliefs and all about it/
Disappeared like fears with clear announcements/
I am here… I can no longer be taken down since/
I changed my mentalities outfit/
And put out what no longer now fits.
When the body it yearns
And the mind doesn’t learn
And were all just taking turns
What is it that you actually earned
So do you miss me
When it’s all too risky
What do you wish me
More of the pain that you give me
Give me give me give me
Painfully looking at our pictures
Were either victims or victors
They asked if I missed her
They ask if my hearts been injured
So do you miss me
When it’s all too risky
What do you wish me
More of the pain that you give me
Give me give me give me
When sunshines don’t reach
Blowing winds on an empty beach
What do broken hearts teach
More than the words of love can speak
So do you miss me
When it’s all too risky
What do you wish me
More of the pain that you give me
Give me give me give me
How could it all end shattered
Betrayed and souls battered
I wish I could just ask her
Was it us or did you only matter
So do you miss me
When it’s all too risky
What do you wish me
More of the pain that you give me
Give me give me give me
