| On my way to find myself again
|
| I have come a long, long ways from home to see
|
| Ha, Braille, a little louder
|
| My last breath echoes through your oxygen supply
|
| You’re not fond I’ve never been who I claim
|
| You can’t tame the lion once it breaks out the cage
|
| Once it breaks out, all over my face
|
| Put your brakes on, stop the motion
|
| Robotic movement, rusted by the rain of my father
|
| Two sided, two names
|
| Splashin' water retaliates
|
| Flood to the surface of my lyrical percentage
|
| Verbally aggressive, abusive attendance
|
| Unexplained anger slaps my style senseless
|
| How dare I mention mistakes and intentions?
|
| Another star in my collection
|
| The stars I’ve collected fell from the sky
|
| I keep fallin', who let my hopes rise?
|
| No parachute to provide safety, take me
|
| Away from this shallow tide, from the shallow minds
|
| The walls keep closin' in, I’ve opened every door
|
| The hinges just always squeak
|
| I need to loosen up, put it all behind me
|
| And if you’re searchin', lost is where you’ll find me
|
| October 27th, 1995
|
| The day I found out my sister was no longer alive
|
| Now I’m the oldest sibling
|
| With her no longer living on this sad day
|
| Decided to give up the bad ways
|
| And to be a model for my younger sister
|
| Wasn’t the dumbest (___)
|
| But my education was just car heists, burglury, urban liqour
|
| The sort of fingers being curved on triggers
|
| And I knew for certain, if I continued, living life all simple
|
| Jail would be the only institution I’d be able to get into
|
| So I laced by boots
|
| Hit the books, flip from crook
|
| Hopped over my obstacles like rocks skipped on brooks
|
| Music became my medication
|
| Motivation for meditation
|
| Far better than any perscription my man was makin'
|
| Sometimes my head be shakin'
|
| Wondering how my life would be
|
| If things never changed, then she could be beside me
|
| But I discard the hypothetics
|
| Won’t let stress slice my lettuce
|
| Theoreticaly, she just moved on ahead of me
|
| So now my life’s patterned across the same finsh line
|
| Live right any part of me, that’s insane is put to rhyme
|
| Occassionally flames took to pine
|
| Sometimes looked for wine
|
| When I’m in binds I grab the Holy Book to find
|
| A revelation to raise me out of this mental mess
|
| And remember my life being blessed
|
| Isn’t coincidentalness
|
| A simple test we face daily can drive us crazy
|
| Missing Children, the confused adults loosin' hope
|
| A noose from rope can dead it
|
| But I won’t let it take over me
|
| Got somebody on my soul’s shoulder lookin' over me |
