Kick it real
Real as rain and just as wet....
Sittin here looking at old falimy photographs
I smile
begin 2 laugh
and then I start 2 cry
really, I don't know why
Embrace my Sister Friend
man I don't know where 2 begin
is this feeling virtuous
or maybe incestuous?
I've got a
left foot into Heaven
a right foot into Hell
the preachers
and righteous teachers
hitting me up with a story 2 sell
I'm hearin church bells
oh wait,
is that my death knell?
Listening 2 a caustic message
from my ex
left me kinda vex
am I upset?
don't really know what 2 say
do I ignore it and chill in the light
or become the reincarnation of O.J.?
Late last night I crossed
the Crossroad when I saw
a homeless cat tryin 2 sleep
do I drop a fin and pray his soul 2 keep
or take a brick and break
his M---TH---F---KIN feet?!?
Whew!!!
I gotta left foot into Heaven
Right foot into Hell
the preachers
and righteous teachers
hittin me up with a story 2 sell
I'm hearin church bells
oh wait,
is that my death knell?
Motha Mary
don't you pray for me
remove my bones from the Reliquary
grind them into the dust from where I be
toss them into my destiny
only thing I'm certain of is....
UNCERTAINTY
so,
don't pick me up
if you beating me down
don't hug me in a crowd
and kick my A--S when no one's around
don't call me your Brother
if you making time wit my Ex
don't plot my demise undercover
look me in the eyes when you shoot me
I deserve that much respect
don't pray for my soul
in there is a hole
in yours
don't diss my poisoned pen
if you have the smell of death
oozing from your pores
enough talking
I gotta keep walking
be'cuz
I've got my
left foot into Heaven
Right foot into Hell
the preachers
and righteous teachers
hittin me up with a story 2 sell
I'm hearin the church bells
oh wait,
is that my death knell?
real as rain...and just as wet..
like tears...like fears...
who's gonna protect me...from me?
2 tears in a bucket
F--CK IT!!!
