I find /beauty in the little inconsistencies in life _ no hesitations got me up late nights _ I shed a tear because the struggle got me here and with/out it, I wonder what I might be like _ some type of lifeless, loveless mess hand /caught on the temptress' dress, I digress _ but it's about time to free that mind mean that rhyme and be that shine, so one time I'll be the /_ rich pauper _ the poor prince and if the /shoe fits, I'll probably cop it soon as I can pay rent _ collect the payment at the end of my day and praise /God because He made me this way _walking the pavement and it's a /struggle .,. I got a lot I want to say sounds of /silence got em talking away, "it's okay" _ so try to play me like a broken Nintendo it /won't work .,. no matter how how dope these men blow See me at the show and say hello, nod a head at me fel/low and we can meet up on the sidewalk and flow try talking slow, but my jargons quick and thick like asphalt, hot for making it stick _ pockets full of lent _ rockets heaven bound _ jot the betterment _ God sent, leather bound _ not significant _ I'm not better now _ got the rhythm it's magnificent whatever sound _ off and on, _ lost and gone _ found in town pounding mountains down to lawns _ surrounding pawns _ flanking fakes _ the clowns are wrong so I _raise the stakes _ Who got the right to first refuse it in this music listen /cool kids I ain't stupid, I improve with time and prove it rhyming /fluent climbing through it till I'm on top _ a new year, and you can't wait to hear the bomb drop _ so who's dropping the ball, I'll be on top of it all _ rhyming more proper than ya'll finding on top at the mall _ still you coppin them all, flailing and floppin in fall/ fashion .,. yo is that what you call smashin? _ I'm all passion, and blastin the fiberglass like cars /crashing from driving too fast, you find the rhyme and you laugh _ It's prime time that you ask and do math, cuz you /rapping is a flag at half mast, true dat _ with boom bap, yo who's that they say he need a new /hat and yo his shoes are too old but he's cold when he flaps jaw raps he haw you play the ass crack a joke and stay literate, ill and plus legitimate _ you get it yet? it's a sentence for life run /on and tell that, and autotune your new life _ you do right, I do like I know best and praise /God I got a treasure in my chest, aw yes _ so what's my net worth? unknown and unheard repping open microphone sessions still blessin with one /Word, one truth, one life, one way one /Lover of my soul, ill so no other would stay _ no wonder he sways when the wind blows they say come on over here and learn to walk this way, but wait You oppress the poor with your political support and beg to differ claiming morals got you doing it some more _ see I'm all for Life like no other _ I think a solid family's got one father and one mother _ but when you start talking political your story gets pre/dictable and ripped with holes you tore in your own brothers _ give more to the poor, or watch the welfare rates soar extend arms to the woman your law labeled a whore love labor is giving birth to old truth for new life so many want to sing along, so few that get the tune right
