Global Genohomisuicide

It's easy to die, but hard to stay alive, look into loved one's eyes, before u say goodbye, instead of leaving us wondering why, or what we could've done right, wish u would've let me help u fight, cuz the most difficult part is at night, yet somehow I remember moonlight still shines bright, even the blind have sight, tho it's only hind, wish it paid to be kind, friendship is the best choice and consequence we can ultimately find, with our powers combined, captain planet could become personified, but just like the internet TV lies, with the release of ai, our capitalistic soul's been both duped and bribed, is human gooning consuming by design, and now it seems original artistry has died, which I've defined as a glabal genohomisuicide, slowly happening over time, justice doesn't exist nor accountability for committing crimes, cuz nowadays u can do what Trump did raise and pay a trillion dimes, when I don't even make shit for my decades of consistent creative rhymes, making less than a cent per spin/listen on YouTube Pandora Apple and Spotify, while lip synching drag queens holograms and bots overclog spots for my chance to perform live, how do I finally wake up and realize, my own epically legendary legacy is the real prize, so simply surrender to the faith of fate and try to stay resilient enjoying the ride!

It's 4/20 Hunny

Another 4/20 huny, in about an hour it'll finally be sunny, wish I had a show to perform at, this required need to conform's whack, America is not a corporation nor its military, policing the world isn't necessary, that's the UN's job, all this war is alot, covid did more damage than we thought, at the end of the day most people can be bought, I wasn't taught being raised right, everybody's going thru tons of struggles/fights, I try to remember, humans have the capacity to know do and be better, my poetry and songs are like my life letters, speaking my truth love and consciousness, lessening the insane level of lyrical obnoxiousness, especially in pop hip hop, I just can't and won't stop til I reach the top, take the lead, show y'all what raw live true talent has the capacity to be!

Finding Fulfilled's Still Uphill

Leaning into surrender, becoming a better pretender, internalizing so much more, than I ever have before, trying to find gratitude and grace, it's even harder to keep faith, while all hope seems false, does God hear my cries and calls, or is he sarcastically laughing, watching me get so passionately mad and, throwing another hissy fit, super antagonistic, it's just my nature, I can disagree and not hate ya, got mad love to give, might not be ready to take control of how I live, may sound silly, but mom is my ultimate responsibility, along with 2 pups, who are totally the reason I haven't given up, plus I've got big big dreams to fulfill, I know now tho the road ahead is still uphill!

Uplift With Ur Gift

I'm still ashamed, to be gay, not all the time, but I do find, no matter what I do, to try and prove I'm cool, I feel lesser than, automatically hateful towards effeminate homo bretheran, when that's further from the truth, I envy their perseverance and strength dude, finding one's authentic self is such a gift, but now u have a responsibility to communally uplift, remember ur ultimate goal/legacy, is to keep spreading truth love and consciousness thru poetic music being epically legendary!

Honest To Con Artists

I thought I finally found peace, but after letting go's initial release, I opened up my eyes, only to realize, I'm still a hot mess, full of grief/depressed, as I long for a former life, with less responsibility and strife, not having a dad or sis, makes me unconditionally miss, what having a family was like, having to caretake for my mom doesn't feel right, but I refuse to abandon her, I don't demand fur, nor any type of label, just cuz I've got mental health issues doesn't mean I'm disabled, most my existence I've been bastardized, for being gay white into hip hop and getting blastedly high, this is just who I am, I'm waiting on the world to change if it even can, seems to be goin in the wrong direction, wish there were real spells for protection, unfortunately there aren't any, I've learned I'm plenty friendly, sometimes at my own detriment, my poetry isn't meant to have negative sentiment, I'm simply being honest, in a world filled with nothing but con artists!

Rooting Birds Hurts

Why do we try to root birds, it spiritually hurts, just like hope, and that continuous nope, let me fly, at least get high, cuz I'm gonna go hang, with music and Mary Jane, that's my comfort zone, learning how to make on the mic my home, really truly let go, completely naked and vulnerable, bare my soul, be willing to publically grow, all those mistakes, creates self hate, a lack of confidence or security, safety is totally behind purity, which is why I'm blessed to be so lucky, I have a ton of family friends and fans who genuinely love me, even tho they may not show up and say it, resilience is the key for anybody to make it, live with gratitude faith and grace, in an overpopulated world we all are allowed to hold space, travel any lane with whatever mate we wish, always remember that just being present is literally such a gift!

Assumption's Gumption

Let downs, lead to frowns, and bitter sadness, creating emotional madness, wow how shit happens, wonder what strangers are masking, silent struggles, bewitched or muggles, am I the only one, who doesn't own a gun, such a pacifist, not a masochist, I need more positive reinforcement, a sponsor or endorsement, from someone prominent or famous, this negligence is utterly heinous, seems so silly, but where's the reciprocity, one way streets, always on repeat, while I'm supposed to swallow politely, but I'd rather be bitchy complainy and gripey, my kindness usually wins, nobody remembers how the problem begins, so then I become labeled crazy, I know my potheaded mind can be at times hazy, I'm tired of assumptions, all this maga gumption, born in the wrong era for sure, I just don't need exponentially better or more, wanna instead strike balance, be recognized for my talent, valued appreciated and respected, staying mindful that success and popularity aren't elected!
