Good Morning World
Wide Web we've weaved together
It\s 6 in the morn
And I'm done mourning over the lost sheeples
Of people
That only gather in heards
When they recognize the words
After the system shut down
Breakin it all down
Til the break of dawn
I yawn
When will the night come again
So I can succomb
To lethargy of death
Temporarily
While I dream
In sequence
The science fiction
In the back of my brain
It's draining but I can handle
What you can't
Manage
Damage
Get on your nerves a lil'bit
Bits and pieces
In bytes
With chips and some dip
Dipping like ice cream
Melts when the data sun is
Shining
Giving off heat
To the extreme
Streaming like water
Down by the way
Tears over fear
Ya hear
That's how to live
In the moment
This is your moment of truth
By premiere and guru
Said
It's a lifesaver
These words
Flown from thought
Not second guessing
The holy word
That they words
In their own scripture
If only they'd listen
And establish thoughts of their own
We all born with a brain
Except in extreme cases
This might just be the case for 1 percent of them
Or many that follow
Those herds
Hope you got it
Hope you get it
Word play
It's a language
Ebonics and phonics
It's that simple
But some of y'all don't know how to listen
Know how to translate
The mission
That's my standing position
So the rest of y\all just sit tight
In retrospection
Get introspective
About your own lines
That you spit in faces
Who are too tired to listen
Cause there's no soul or jazz spitting
In your words
Free flow
Is the style
It's my life style
Been spitting words since I was a child
Making prayers of gibberish
Gone going over many minutes
With my fam
sitting at the table
Like word
We don't know what she saying
Or what language she speaking
But Damn, this child got rhythm
And some words... one day she'll do something
We've never heard
Thank the saviour
The saving grace of dem words
Words over complacency
To spread a message of some human decency
Thank you again for listening world wide web
We've weaved together
There's been stranger things
Amen.

Glide That Backbone

In life you've got to learn on your own
With the proper guidance
But try to be more introspective
About who and why you are who you are
Question everything and question that there are multiple answers
Because that way you'll find your own vision of the purpose of life
We're all home grown somewhere
Maybe not each in the same type of circumstance
But don't let that hold you back in the way you advance
Please yourself before you try to please others
But don't become so introspective you don't give two fucks about
The other brothers and sisters on their own path
I ain't trying to teach like a mother of a father
On how to raise children that have their own origins
If I wanted to do that I spawn off my own children
You can't change who you are but you can grow to accept
To have a little more respect based through observation
We are each our own and that's the beauty
The world may not agree
But that's what brings diversity
Keep open minds and open hearts
Throughout your life about everyone
Rather than having to tip toe around
Things and people that you strongly disagree with
If you're Asian, Haitian, but natively born in another country
There's no need for grown-ups to point it out to their children
Less of course you plan to give them a history lesson
Not just of the individual but of a whole nation
It's blindsided these ways
Only to stay nice in the faces of others
To save face on any regret or fear bias
Because you have to keep up good appearances
I can no longer handle such bullshit cause everyone so sensitive
Kids build a backbone and let it slide
Let haters just glide right up off that thang
Who support you in good times and bad times together
If you ever feel alone, You have a lot of lonely people on the road
Along the journey of life that extends through time
At one point you will find just the right kind of tribe
Regardless of what others want to believe
It's only because you believed in yourself first
And put yourself first while leaving the rest behind
Goodbye to old times
Hello to the new world
Of young ones out there
Making a difference

Watch em run
Watch em hide
Trying to seek
Forward thinking
While they still rewinding history
Y'all need to shut the fuck up
Take a pause
Stop repeating
Repeat after me
And follow in line
With where ever the time is going
Fast forward back to the future
Seven G's Seventh Heaven equals a G
Brazil made mona lisa scream for Orlan
The parisian elite who made plastic people so cheap
Stellark a shark hung in mid air by the skin of his teeth
Grills Grill me harder
For expression of what I believe
Performance over nots
Naughty behaviour
Over pleasing anyone but myself
Fuel the fire
And I'll feed
Like Jaws from gong gong chil
Double bonds
zero's and one's
No cash flow
Bc I ain't one of those
Who will sell out
For a dolla bill
Unless my face represented
Crystal clear
On a dime, a quarter at a time
Fifty's one hunneds
Are for the strippers who slave
Over their trade
Want respect
Put your clothes back on
Work out your daddy issues
Bc trust you were touched or harmed
Brainwashed
Into thinking it's a business
You got no business
And some of y'all ain'\t even got the flavour of the day
Sixteen you go home
You ain't got the right to ride a bullet like a train
Ya train wreck
Like wrecks n effect
Watch yourself you'll get washed out
Like the rest of them in business class
No more room for the boom bap
It's doom happenstance
In this free trade
Contracts contacts
Won't buy my love or the things that I want
I already gots mine
Took some time
But even forced a hustler to get out of dem clubs
Where a dolla is a dance
With puss in no pants
Shame on you
But you do you
I'll keep my own stripper shoes
Like I'm one with sex trade
As long as it's right for the women
Who work day and night
Stay safe
Trust me, you ain't the player
Unless you hustle harder than j-lo and WU
Who you think you are?
Who you think you do?
Used and abused
Do you betty boop
But I'll bet ya Ass I'll betty boo you
Like it's 89
A dolla bill at a time
I wait until it all comes
At once
I wait until it all comes
At one time
Don't be that once upon a time
You're not stuck
You're just stuck with the system
Man made

Hard Knocks (Live Life)
02:20

Who
What When Where
Why
Why do we live
Only to lose what we love
Who we love
Not just to death
But through circumstances
Granted
Taking advantage of what's been given
Only to be taken away
Long days ago
People lived for others
Not just their own
For survival
It took a nation
To commune
Over survival
Of elements
These elements of life
Have been abused by power
To divide
Communities of people
Trying to survive
Together
Torn apart
By war and greed
And cash flow
Amazon forests
Where tribes once grew
Brainwashed by religion
Thinking they've been given an advantage
To survival
Until they get destroyed
By the common man
I won't lay blame
But what has this world come to
Let's get rich bitch
Then we'll rule the world
Give less to the less fortunate
These are power moves
Built from dissonance
Distant people living off grid
To stay rid of these hopeless means
Opportunity knocks
But knock back harder
Fuck them bricks built for walls
We don't need your education
Bricks for brains
Blocking out
Equal transmission
The mission was Sisyphus
Not slithering demons
Hiding in plain site
How many apples does it take for a hillbilly
To get home
To his garden
When it's an overgrown field
Of bones
from war A to War B To war C
On the horizon?
REpetition
Is the only competition
We have to fight against
Too bad we all have to fight to survive
In the garden of eden before God
After Jesus
Second coming
We already been living in apocalyptic times
Of revelations.
Relative to relation
Through generations
We die
But what's on the horizon?
The sunrise?
Or sorry another son down
Thoughts and prayers
Thank you, Next
Next generation
Pick harder
When options are no longer choices
Choose wiser
The course of your ride
To be a rider ain't easy
But easy rider is a more pleasing
Life.
Hard knocks
Live Life

Systemic Update
03:32
|
|

Been a crazy minute
Going mad made up shit in mah brain
Strain that drains my brain
Going in circles over mediocre things
Losing sense of self
Over minute nuances
Of the things hanging over my head
They come in waves through dreams
Of sleep
These thought patterns
Beat to beat to beat the bumrush
Crushing lil demons
By thrusting my speech
into patterns we've all adapted to
Like we'll adapt to death when we're dead
Dread on lock
Hair lost over stress
Bugging out about What's next Doc
What's up
Why can't you fix the system
Like it forced me into a place
Of shallow graves
By bigotry of small town racist people
Who thought I some asian diva princess
Who shouldn't be ashamed
By catching the plague
Caught on by what society gives
Not two fucks
You straight out of luck
If you ain't the image of a perfect mental patient
You cross too many borders
Before it gets dealt with
Don't trust the system
Systemic failure
Update
Boxes within boxes of boxes
Like Shroedinger said
Is it dead or alive
Spin me right round?
While my head still does laps
spinning in loops
Shooting for hoop dreams
Hoop meant hope
Hope to live
endure on this hell on earth
Where a percentage is a number
Tabulated to graduate
From the hard knocks
BEfore you can't get back up
Hard knocking heads
In mah face
Gotta diagnose my own fate
I choose to live
Though I never contemplated
Death by my own hands
Just the obsessed
With loss and grief
When we left behind to grieve
At another impass
Impassionate about the living dead
The death of ethical bridges
Mortality over morality
Build bigger walls
Around each individual
Solitude solitary confinement
That's how it feels
All up in my head
Time travelling
No concept of how much time passes
Living like we still ancient historians
Out of site out of mind
That hope is set in present time
And in presence held in physical space
Not just the space in my head
Break the rules kids
Bumrush them fools
It's all fool's gold
To a golden finch
Who's rather pair off to be intimate
And funk the flex
with the power we hold
Through time of all we accumulate
In our brains
Do damage before damage is done
And break the systemic systems
Before you become
Part of the herd
Ya heard the word
Heed the call
911 ain't a joke
It'll destroy your life
And you'll miss any chances given
To get out of that system
Systems systems systemic systems
Rhythm keep the rhythm
Walk your own walk
Walk your way
Talk the talk
Only if you got something
Worth your words
Something worth to say
Take your time
Cause in time
Words are worth a zillion golden finches.
Call it a platitude.
Don't....
Even the game
Stay in the game

This is for the other seven in heaven
That aren't remembered as legends
But were probably legends to their own tribe
Another child and plenty of women
And a pilot never identified
Many die on the fly
When it's least expected
Think of all the crashes that been happening
In our time before and after
They remain silent
But will be remembered always by those they touched
In real time in real life
Rest in peace rest in power
Loss is the cost of living life
Never know when it will be your time
Never know what time means
With your loved ones
Legends will always be remembered to those they touched
Not just celebrated by their wins and hits
But the love they represented in trying times
To their kids, their parents, their friends, their wives, their husbands
They probably reached out to strangers like humans do in inhumane times
We all have a purpose, though often not identified
But live your purpose for those that survive
Not gracing the headlines
But gracing the hearts of nameless faces
When it happens en masse
It's hard to remember each family each face
When it becomes about a toll of the numbers
And body counts
Each body counts
Arrive alive
But rest in peace and power
For all those that have died
Through time
These are not easy times
For anyone
No one gets out alive
I give my one breath
I hold onto my one breath
In silence
Over silencing of lives
We all fade away
We will not always be remembered
By everyone
But to those that counted in our lives
There are those that fade away disgraced
But someone loved them at one point in time
Live the rest of your lives
In peace and power
Know we ain't alone
In these times
Time is fleeting
Remember everyone
Without a name
Without a face
