got inspired to write after readin Legends piece

written to Joe Budden-all of me instrumental

my brain leaks as I sleep
my pillow is a sponge for anger
for regrets
for hopes
a room for angels to get ? in
for broken dreams that crumbled before I woke up
I was the smartest kid in class but never spoke up
destined for bad things
marijuana and coke dust
unfocused like I dont have a tomorrow
token grown man that lives to disappoint his mama
I am karma
my reflection is double entendre
I am perpetually ? up
I am constantly askin for redemption from the one above
but I am unsuccessful
my sponge is a vessel
I take it to my notebook and squeeze
let my thoughts and dreams just leak on the sheets
osmosis breathes through these deceased trees
leaves start to grow from my words
I leave my dreams and observe reality
like a sun setting on my life
wasted too much time at bars
stayin out drinkin
gotta flip this laziness into a hustle
sell lazy boys to fat people and tell them itll work out their calf muscles
I am a man
boss
I can stand
tall
wipe my hands
off
shine bright above the rest
Gang
Starr
you stay lost like a rubix cube
who are you?

I am The Moment Of Truth
I am a G
U r U
