hey my lady..check it out
when i am done with this joint i want you 2 walk away
run away
whatever..just far enough away
so you can determine if
i am full of shyt
lemme drop the real...
my approval rating was going
through the roof
but the severity of your tears
was absolute proof
bullshyt is
what a fake brotha does
i almost went from a coulda been
shoulda been
2 a never was
everybody gatherin around
down
with my syncopatic
flow
but in private my autocratic
ways would show
was never democratic
in my false accusations
what you thought was drama ending
was in fact a continuation
of my instigations
so busy accepting congratulations
and salutations
i didnt realize my life had become
an abomination
i had 2 take a
look within
accept my guilty admission
make the invisible
visible
and produce evidence
admissible
in the court of your private opinion
check it out..
i was tired of living
in the shadows of my betrayal
brother dee
is so righteously
real all my fans would hail
but
our reality paled
in comparisson
2 the garrison
i erected
around my foolish heart
thought i was protected
but i was vunerable from the start
when adulation produced vanity
cant even plead insanity
because the glove sho nuff fit
straight real
i was full of shyt
you see
i could rub 12 poo nah nees
kiss 16 sets of breasts
and feel one perfect ebony azz
but after the lust is gone
how could i move on
without a love that can last
i dont need to be caught up
in what the fucks
wake up
not knowing names
just another notch
on my membrane
ignoring the smoke
until i was trapped in the flames
created by
my bullshyt lies
baby
open your eyes
and realize
there is a big azz world out there
waiting for you
until i represent the copacetic
black esthetic
do what you must do
and if you find a brother
who can provide
i will wish you love
and step to the side
think about the love i lost
and weigh the cost
but i wont hide
i will just take
a look within
accept my guilty admission
make the invisible
visible
and produce evidence
that is admissible
in the court of your private opinion
you see
true love is the creators dominion
so while i was dominating
verbs and nouns
i was forsaking
the greatest love i had ever found
real men
cry real tears
and dont defend
the tears of a clown
actin in stereotypical fashion
then harrasing
the system for being unfair
how could i rise 2 my destiny
if i was 2 lazy
to climb the stairs
but
you best believe i wont stay
this incomplete
one day soon i will be a brotha
a quality woman seeks
but right now i have alot of work 2 do
2 break on through
2 the positive side
i know it wasnt all bad
we had one hell of a ride
but when the carnival leaves town
there is a mound
of trash left behind
i wasnt looking 4 your love
i was searching 4 signs
she cant be this honest
this genuine
this real
so i went 2 the jury
in a state of fury
presenting my appeal
my rebuttal
was in trouble from the start
a jury cant
stand a man
who breaks a womans heart
so i guess i was fated
2 be incarcerated
by circumstantial evidence
standing up there tryin 2 vent
but my bullshyt
wasnt relavent
to the case at hand
i was a fukced up man
so i had 2 take
a look within
accept my guilty admission
make the invisible
visible
and produce evidence
admissible
in the court of your private opinion
that is all i have 2 say baby
you are a damn good lady
i wish you the best
you deserve it for real...
no i want you back
no appeal
love you always ...peace
