Fresh Linen
Lyrics
You know that moment when you finally catch a break,
Let your body lay at rest but your mind is still awake,
Take a breath into your chest ease the muscles in your face,
Sayonara to the stress as we journey out through space,
Spirit leave the room like a child out the womb,
You been waiting’ for this moment like a flower when it blooms,
If they try to wake you use the power of the snooze,
We ain't looking for the answers all would be lost if we do,
Fresh Linen
Five hundred thread count sweet –
Candlewick dripping wax as I marinate in my sheets,
Excuse me everybody I'm about to take my leave,
See y'all in a couple hours ain't no better place to be but in my–
Fresh Linen
Original Poem
Eyelids like firefly bulbs
Between realms every shutter
Hello and goodbye in a single whisper
Belonging neither here nor there
Reveling on the edge of consciousness
All five senses now one
A dark canvas to paint on
Sculpting a scene of the past and the future
Spiraling down
Beyond color,
shapes,
words
Thick Scarlet
Lyrics
Drip down like molasses on hot cakes
Seep to the floor mix with puddles of rain
Dry to my skin adding texture to my face
Greet me with warmth so I don't mind the pain
Birth by feud or accident
Either way you look the same
Bang,Crack, Crunch, Crash
still arrive and never change
Remind me that I'm human
I keep forgetting now-a-days
But when I’m cut , gashed or struck
You strip me down to feel humane
You're not so bad
I separate you from the pain
I watch you dance around the sink and
Twirl around the shower drain
Patch me up
Be on your way
Im better now but glad you came,
Momas gonna beat my ass when she sees all these carpet stains
I feel you coursing through my veins—
Im tryna let you out
Thats why Im reckless with my body even more so with my mouth—
Somebody punch me in the face,
I think I really need it
Got obsessions with thick scarlet and Im really tryna see it—
Momma told me me count my days,
One day I won't be breathing
But for now I'm acting out you watch me wildin’ with them demons
Possibly I am deranged,
Ah shit I think Im bleeding
Guess I'm headed to the hospital oh how I love this feeling
Original Poem

The Path Less Traveled
Lyrics
I was just just a lonely soul before you came into my life
I was taking chances wasn't scared to roll the dice
Do demonic dances in the shadows of the night
Then you came along so I had to get my shit right
Diamond in the rough you precious baby dont fuss
It used to be all about me and now it's all about us
Hope that one day you'll see this insurmountable love
I have you and your dreams to live them out is a must
Now I'm getting older you're the root to all my happiness
Im wishing you a perfect life of purple skies and fairy dust
I aint get to see my dreams so promise me you will for us
Ill be by your side take every step with you vicarious
Forgive me if I fall asleep, I’ve been turning out a lot
Your life is a highway, mine is just a parking spot
Its time to say goodbye babe, This is everything I got
Promise me that you will dream and never let me be forgot
Original Poem
An empty road
One of promise
Can’t yet walk this path alone
First steps most glorious
Ignorant and honest,
I now take fate to be my own
Cobblestone streets smooth my feet
Crosswalks keep me true
Overwhelmed at round abouts
Too much for me to do
Few exits left
In dead ends finding solace
Finding pleasure in a cube
Legs grow tired
Feet go numb
Now the gift of something new
You bridge me back to mainland
Forgotten pavements that sparkle in the son
Fear not the street and hold my hand
Your journeys just begun
Can’t yet walk this path alone
I never want you to
promise you’ll fly away
Don’t try to fill my shoes
Forgotten Yout'
Lyrics
Ganja for the mind
Whiskey for the soul
What’s the point of living if you end up in a hole
What you messing with that dont belong up in your nose
We just seeking warmth cuz the world is freezing cold
Maybe the pandemic or maybe I'm getting old
When the world in disarray how am I to do what i'm told
My glass is empty…
Fuck it I lose control—
In a place where my purpose hidden but people act like they know
What you expect me to do
Father this my confession
It's hard for me being present
I have a future obsession
They told me to stay inside,
And it's getting depressing
I'm not fine when I'm confined
Yet you tell me its hidden blessings
I don't know if that the truth
My tolerance hit the roof
I'm probably gonna die if I spend more time in this room
Possibly I can arise when flowers begin to bloom
Then I can wear a disguise in bucket hats bathing suits
Ganja for the mind
Whiskey for the soul
What’s the point of living if you end up in a hole
What you messing with that dont belong up in your nose
We just seeking warmth cuz the world is freezing cold Original Poem
Watered down whiskey
Only so it lasts longer
I prefer my vision blurred these days
It’s the pandemic they tell me
constant isolation
Is that the reason for this change?
I was young once, full of life
I’m still young they tell me
But I don’t attach youth with age
youth is a mindset
age a sentence
One could be young, up to the grave
my glass is empty.
Is it the time
Or is it my time
Seasonal depression
or future obsession
fine
or confined
insurrection
or hidden blessing
It’ll all go back to normal they tell me.
Rings
Lyrics
Promise me don't leave my sight x2 Grab my hand and hold on tight x2 You are just a piece of jewelry but it go deeper than that Id say partially you are the reason that I like to rap Both be self projection— That's why rapping and you fashion overlapping Back in highschool I was lacking I was hoopin lowkey trappin Something happened A girl I was messing with said you should wear rings I said nah I don't move like that I don't like all them things She told me that I'd be surprised about the swag it brings I went from bball player to a dude that likes to sing Don't get me wrong I know that the shit that you wear— Ain't what makes an artist But to be fair— Back then with self expression I was a novice I didn't care— About my appearance that's just me being honest Then I learned to show self all through my clothes I made a promise Promise me don't leave my sight x2
Grab my hand and hold on tight x2
Original Poem
You grip my index, pinky, thumb
Sprucing up a gloomy sight
No matter what these hands have done
You stay on board and hold on tight
Silver band an all-black gem
reflecting off this pale moonlight
These darkened hands hold only malice
You manage still to make them bright
Callused palms, cut through knuckles
Sterling silver oxidized
Give softness to a hardened hand
Real men accessorize?
Your service small but greatly needed
Allowing me to customize
Hellish hands, to that of beast
That somehow you still humanize
Demon talons seeking pain
With you, they’ve learned restrain
