I have always been a click away from the dark side
Come on, life man.
I mean, I turned out good but…
From the beginning
Needed to silence all these voices
Needed to fill this vacuum
Needed to take control
Was sharp, got it from ma.
Notorious, can’t say it runs in the family
On the face though
Prolly the best anyone would ever wish for.
Night life.
Think about it for a minute
To most people? Stars and moon
To me? Everything else but darkness.
Wasn’t even old enough the first time
But yeah, it was great
Made me wonder,
Is this how great it is?
Coming back to life
Great too, but too judgy
I was just a small kid
But boy I had brains.
Hypocrisy. And the guts
Pretense, and the fakes
Adoration, from them
I called it quits.
Got a crib
There was sun
And solder
Then boom! All I ever wanted
They said no, but I ignored
He summoned me, gave him an eye
I walked out, started wandering
Solitude. Serene
Lights buzzing, made them
Bass
Got used to it
No, I loved it
Got intoxicated
Walked up the streets
Trust did the rest
Was way too good, anyway.
J, bro
Corny yet so humble
D, my guy
Thought you got me
Patience
Kindness and love
Humility, after all
Mom’s word was law to me
Yet here I am
Would have turned out differently
Still got the potential
And one hell of a story
G, the spot
L, the click
O, the turn
Always a step away
Humble yet so proud
Present yet so absent
Loving yet so toxic
I am what I am.
J, life came at me first
O, I see it in your eyes
E, hope for better days
Maybe.
