Rap's Actually An Acronym

Poetry is my favorite form of expression, my gift at rhyming is such a blessing, I try to keep it real, and say what I feel, without any censorship, I wanna go to a music school that teaches thru apprenticeship, I like learning hands on, wish I could wake up from this damn con, Biggie said "it was all a dream", totally ok with not belonging to a team, I'm more than just half of a whole, y'all cannot stifle my soul. nor depower my voice, failure is a choice, and I'm too much of a competitor to give up, isn't the point to live love, help inspire and spread joy, remember our body is not a toy, some say it's a temple, it doesn't pay to be kind and gentle, even tho we should be, and do good deeds, helping others helps ourselves, u don't have to have all the wealth, it took me a long time, to properly read the signs, figure out what's urs vs mine, I'm such an empathic Gemini, balancing between extremes, learning to stay within my means, no more nets to save me, stop rushing to make plans so hastily, it's hard for me to just go with the flow, even more so to let go, I'm determined and stubborn, don't wanna be an angry bitter curmudgeon, cuz I'm lost and forgotten, I believe we're all born for something, our skillsets are different and unique, I've barely scratched surface let alone piqued, shouldn't willingly accept defeat, history cyclically repeats for sheep, while the shepherds lead, let's have a gay meet and greet, maybe schedule an annual picnic or parade, but with no ignorant dipshit brigade, killing the collective homojo, I'm not afraid to go toe to foe toe, even when I'm my own worst enemy, not gonna lie I have a pretty decent memory, have y'all ever read my intense dense lyrics, or u one of those conspiracy theorists, who automatically assumes, the Illuminati rules and chooses the who's whos, I'm utterly confused, felt racism's abuse, promoting my hip hop tunes, Trump's the only one who spews fake news, I'm waiting on the camera crews, to jump out and tell me this is all a simple ruse, Tupac is 100% alive, and in the real world conscious poetic rap thrives!

A Sign It's Time

Don't know how much more I can take,
Cuz life sure ain't cake
I'm getting so worried and afraid,

I can't fake the patience to wait,

But they say we can all be great,

And create our own fate,

Isn't destiny what u make,

Perhaps I'm just too late,

Do u believe we'll be ok,

Or ruled by fear or hate,

Even tho my heart breaks and aches,

It's probably a sign it's time for a leap of faith

Peace and 1,

Rambling Blabber That Matters To Me

Tho I havent been retrospectively writing, it doesn't mean I'm not still fighting, the internal struggle is real, I can't always express how I feel, silence makes me nervous, the gays are such perverts, always got sex on the brain, so come on ride the train, choo-choo mutha fuckas, we need more brotha lovers, like me, mic please, it's time to drop a rhyme, can u find my dime, is it heads or tails, everyone inevitably fails, but what u do after, is the important part history captures, what's ur legacy, do u live regrettably, or have u learned to let go, especially what's beyond our control, that's a virtue greater than patience, are we really just slaves and agents, I can't seem to free will my destiny, do u believe in a godlike entity, a higher power, who could make even the presidential liar cower, to stew in his own fake news, cuz when he wins we lose, but whose abuse hurts worse, we don't bleed from curse words, yet they do cause pain, perhaps we see tears thru rain, so much never gets explained, what's the simple equation to gain fame, fortune's sure to follow, structured religion is pretty hollow, relies solely on faith, perpetuates war division and hate, I think the ying yang bled gray, which some say is a sign of the apocalypse/dooms day, while every end is a new beginning, the world needs a human cleansing or thinning, evil for some time now has been winning, without penance for sinning, there can be no reformation, the vow of chastity causes hesitation, therefore less priests, maybe the whole idea of church is deceased, totally outdated and primitive, belief isn't meant to be limited, to any specific day or place, isn't it called amazing grace, how great thou art, did the chicken or egg start, does it really matter, perhaps this is just one long tangent/rambling blabber!
