First and foremost this is my second to last piece
for the minute to chill and marinate on the talent
thats booming like stock market stretch
next up flower change and M.I.C piece fest
now our feature presentation....



Yes its about that time to shed some light
on whats on my mind
the changes from then to now
my drama and why have i back stabbed and maim
its not a personal thing but business
bare witness to scripture fitness
a changed man with rugged tendencies
boldness in the walk and convo
a walking exclamation point
big letter b with no italicizing my degree
it's just the ? in me
trying to make it into heaven while anticipating 2012
lasso the comet to crash on this ? awful place
full of lack of moral and disgrace
kids in skinny jeans and pop guns
while girls are giving it free
back in my days ? was as hard to get
as a number to call it
its a frigging shame
no decency or puns to describe this thing
nowadays its cool to be a fool
pants on the ground gold teeth smiling
doing the moonwalk and ditch to flee
but i vow to be different and ready to stand
for what I believe in
its deceiving that once i accepted my new found glory
fans are quick to leave
and achieve to give me a shout out or two on my facebook
telling me that ya stuff its cool
fans like family of a different father
calling up to wonder wondering if i'm really married?
adding me and nagging me
about how grown i become
yet they wasn't there when i dropped out and got my degree
it sickens me how people can be when you do good
yet when you do bad they can't lend a hand
but they quick to ride ya manhood and call themselves misunderstood
when you progressing to become something
can't look in the mirror anymore
see the skinny figure average weight ? telling me to end life....

on the chubby side
still keeping focus high
25 feeling 45
veteran bitterness
ain't nothing to hide
do you think i wanted this
or do you think it came and went
spending time trying to ease my mind
about the lame ?
the nonsense on tv
from lies of recession ending woes
and health care being a priority
fell for the ?
until i realize that I gotta get my wife's checks
to get by into i get by
broke bitter and angry
ready and willing to conceal a weapon
robbing cashiers for their job and resumes
desperate times call for desperate measures
going all out without a bit of remorse
cursed and feeling the hearse as a way to drive
? a truck with rims 25

now i'm seeing and being like Job and Jeremiah
in the choir singing "I forgot the words"
the slap to the wrist I get
didn't know about the lord until I got saved at 23
years into now before the sexual escapades
and the red eyes I see in reflection
trying to strive and stay alive
wanting to be settled though
can't see myself with this girl of 2 and so years
and her sons on my hairs trying to grow
the lonely nights of being with my girlfriend at the time
the sexual molestation of it all
laying down while she groped me as if I'm a little child
thinking of my future wife to the point i left
and got saved again
a new covering and new beginning yet people back home wanna hate
now its could've, would've, should'ves and so on's
taking advantages of failed attempts to be happy
women can be so misleading, shallow, and cruel
CAN'T ACCEPT ANOTHER WOMAN TO BE HAPPY
LOVE FOR A MAN TO BE A FOOL
off to school to do the same things I been doing at the age of 22
getting my dream job in I.T. while backstabbing and racism comes like cup of tea

feel like such a tool
scratching my ?
watching bet
feeling hypocritical
about becoming a figure of new
the man with thoughts and ambitions
but quick to give up on the revolution
when my name is being represented
? off to the memories
pour an invisible cup of hennesy
drench in my imaginary tears
asking heavenly father to rescue me
so I type it down
bump Tonex- Make Me Over Again
a choir sings in back to enhance my fellowship
press enter, spell check, enter and exit
