    LUNAR ORBIT (the real rap)

    Hurt

    I've dedicated writes 2 Black Pride, love-real and imagined, parents, brotherhood and sisterly affection. This one is special though. It's for all of y'all who hide your hurt with a smile.

     

    Once upon a time

    can become never upon an ever

    it can't get any worse

    really means it won't get better

    holding on 2 what's lost

    the cost

    can't be contained

    it's a drain

    on your emotions

    devotion

    heart and brain

    the same ole same

    really means the game don't change

    the past is prologue

    only the present can be rearranged

    by you

    YES YOU

    love lost is like a flu

    that never leaves

    every time you peep his or her picture

    your chest starts 2 heave

    and you grieve

    even family members lost

    can't really compare

    because love is a gamble

    and you lost the dare

    but beware

    of making snap decisions

    a little frost in the morning

    don't mean you abort the mission

     

    WHEN YOU CAN'T WISH UPON A STAR

    AND MISTAKES LEAVE NO ROOM

    ASK YOURSELF

    IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH THRUST

    2 ESCAPE GRAVITATIONAL DISTRUST

    AND ORBIT THE MOON

     

    only you really know

     

    years after years

    the same tears you shed

    started out making intense love

    now you sleep isolated in different beds

    the strange thing is it feels liberating

    you'd rather be alone

    with your cell phone

    6G, lookin at dizzicks mastrubating

    Ladies, don't you be fooled

    a hurt dude flick mo bic

    than a young boy just outta skool

    straight hurting

    squirting

    in a tissue

    'cuz he miss you

    and other femmes games he don't wanna play

    when it comes 2 love

    woman or man

    it's black and white no gray

    so don't say

    he's out there gettin his groove on

    men are varied as our manhood

    word is born

    some of us are large

    some rather small

    some think they're a womans greatest gift

    some ain't stiff

    but NOT ONE can heal the rift

    when love ain't making love

     

    WHEN YOU CAN'T WISH UPON A STAR

    AND MISTAKES LEAVE NO ROOM

    ASK YOURSELF

    IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH THRUST

    2 ESCAPE GRAVITATIONAL DISTRUST

    AND ORBIT THE MOON

    only you really know

     

    I heard so many brothas say I love her

    but I don't trust her

    man it's a package deal

    trust

    is a must

    or time will reveal

    cracks in the foundation

    insinuations

    become predictions

    intimations

    become accurate descriptions

    ain't no prescription

    4 what ails a heart

    don't think full recovery can be found

    in a brand new start

    brotha, that little red wagon of drama

    you're pulling around

    talkin that blip that you're a man about town

    but ain't nobody around

    'cept red ants

    and sycophants

    and both bite

    so tonight

    my brother look within

    only through introspection

    can the bullshit games end

    and life begin

     

    Ladies

    don't let me hear that ..ish bout being lonely but not alone

    you know ain't nothin betta that a man you in love with

    making you moan

    see, if you convince the world

    that you're not in pain

    no one will be aware that lack of love

    is making you insane

    going the celibacy route

    is mos def a choice

    but it's dangerous

    trust your inner voice

    'cuz you'd be surprised how a bitch azz brotha

    can make you moist

    if you slippin

    don't be trippin

    know what you need

    don't beg, bleed or plead

    but please

    realize the difference between wants and needs

    love yourself

     

    WHEN YOU CAN'T WISH UPON A STAR

    AND MISTAKES LEAVE NO ROOM

    ASK YOURSELF

    IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH THRUST

    2 ESCAPE GRAVITATIONAL DISTRUST

    AND ORBIT THE MOON

     

    only you really know

     

    In summation

    your presentation

    should be a reflection

    of your determination

    be equipped 2 handle

    negative situations

    but

    if you say that's it

    I quit

    you've lost

    my friend

    'cuz real love begins

    when you learn 2 bend

    ain't nobody perfect

    past or present

    okay, maybe one dude and he was killed

    if you're a Christain you believe

    4 you His blood was spilled

    and 4 what?

    so you could give up

    on life's most precious gift

    just 'cuz one fool left you beat up

    backed up and left adrift

    who is the captain of your damn ship

    you or the one who slipped

    trust, if you KNOW you're worth being loved

    you will see them again

    hanging with friends

    speak without reservation

    and in the end

    they will remember

    that they recieved a perfectly good gift of love

    and returned it 2 sender

    2 TEARS IN A BUCKET

    shift your life into gear and truck it

    'cuz a better day

    begins when you look in the mirror

    past the tears

    past the years

    past your fears

    and see your rebirth

    the return of your self-worth

    trust Brotha D'ee I know

     

    WHEN YOU CAN'T WISH UPON A STAR

    AND MISTAKES LEAVE NO ROOM

    ASK YOURSELF

    IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH THRUST

    2 ESCAPE GRAVITATIONAL DISTRUST

    AND ORBIT THE MOON

     

    only you really know

    I have confidence in you

    the question is....do you believe in you

     

    peace and blessings
