Take It Easy Demeaningly Appeasing Me

Gotta just grin and bear it, mama isn't ever gonna hear shit, no disrespect, I get she's trying to overprotect, I'll never understand, like women can't man, and vice versa, stop arguing who's worser, it ain't a word, I'm a terrible flirt, I'm too naive, with a deep need to people please, I don't mingle sexually socially, I'd rather not date locally, I vibe better with the west coast, I'm not above reproach, since I tell it like it is, that is my business, and believe me it's work, I'd give my shirt, in the blink of an eye, without having to ask why, if I can I will help, had to learn how to ask and accept it myself, I am my mother's son, after all is said and done, for good and bad, avoiding resentment bitterness or getting mad, learning to give grace, letting go of jealousy grief and hate, moving on seems impossibly hard to rough, sick and tired of nothing but tough love, I could use a lil light peaceful and easy, taken seriously instead of y'all simply demeaningly appeasing me, I have more than proved I'm worthy, and will no longer allow anybody's lack of faith in my fate hurt me

Can't Control Growth

We are collectively distracted and misguided, why do the powerful act like they don't always try to hide shit, but the truth eventually comes out, some day way or how about now, cuz I'm exhausted and drained, too much overstimulation to our brains, I'm not yay or nay I simply remain open, just cuz I disagree doesn't mean anti is what's been chosen, it's ultimately my decision, to listen to criticism and dissenting opinion, rejection helps develop thick skin, everyone wants wish fulfillment, especially winning the lottery, but what really bothers me, is this rampant privilege mixed with entitlement, our education system doesn't teach us the ability to reach or achieve enlightenment, it's more repetitious memorization passing standardized tests, creating a generation of unempathetic robotic soldiers who slave away to pay debts, education like health care should be free or at least cheap, same as it is in other first world countries, capitalism is out of control, effecting the globe as a whole, there can't be endless exponential growth, what if money and religion are a hoax, UFOs are no joke, marijuana is way better than tobacco to toke/smoke, prove me wrong, if u don't like mine write and perform ur own damn poems and songs!

Warning What's Important

Am I important, why don't some people come with a warning, I'm so tired, of fakes and liars, the sheer amount of ignorance, does asexual mean impotence, maybe I'm lesser than, as an openly homosexual man, whether black or white, finding true love's a fight, can't stand digital, why's everybody hypocritical, super judgmental, the lack of empathy is rather incredible, we've lost our way, sold our souls to become numb and enslaved, it's all about capital, money's funny and quite unnatural, making earth uninhabitable, the truth is no longer factual/actual, seems to be nothing but illusion, theres mass confusion, boomers been just hustling and hoarding, while we keep round of applauding, substanceless celebrities without talent or skill, ur like Pink sings "a pill and instead of making me better ur making me ill", why can't y'all MAGA chill the fuck out, the left can't figure how to bout, what a stalemate of a conundrum pickle, sheeple are inherently evil and fickle, we're supposed to be in this together, but no amount of hope will magically make things get better, good must pesevere and win again, in order for this fascist regime's reign of divisive fear to finally end!

Overwhelmed At The Helm

I am so overwhelmed, tho I'm at the helm, I'm not the pilot steering the ship, I come across as handling it, but it's alot, my mom's all I got, too much responsibility and pressure, I feel completely tethered, living her life, suffocating my own light, and I'm getting panicked, gimme a massage that's tantric, I need release, why can't I peep please me, give myself the help of grace, I miss the bliss of being awed and amazed, where did all the inspiration go, artists giving dissertations choke, what they say lacks substance, instead of average or median focus on a human's circumference, not just one moment, if u make a mistake own it, isn't there any accountability, u can slip in and inject wisdom into comedy being sarcastically witty, since truth is often said in jest, does mama or papa know best, I miss my big sis, and if I had one wish, it would be to trade places, I wasnt dealt pocket aces, so I can't make magic happen, while ur asking laughing, as I share my dreams, of selling out stadiums after winning Grammys, who defines what's possible vs probable, keep wondering if my destiny's unstoppable, can we change our fate, or is having free will fake?

Why I Try To Still Spill

Making a mistake doesn't mean ur a bad person, just cuz u say sorry won't erase others hurting, actions have consequences still, internalized emotions eventually spill, relationships overextended, the weight on ur shoulders never intended, it's super strange, one day u look up already changed, seems fast but so slow, u can't possibly see or know, til it's hindsight, tough to find light, when we're lost in shadows, who knew existence was so shallow, all about money, too hard to discover some funny, instead of numbing or a distraction, imagine real life closed caption, like they do for theater, been both a ring and paul bearer, a true blue double Gemini, struggling interpreting four sides, none of which are successful, the music may be incredible, yet at the end of the day, nobody wants to lift up a gay, I'm not gonna lie, don't know why I even bother to try, but deep in my gut nothing shakes, my neverending story of glory due to unwavering hope and faith!

Lightening's Sarcastically Striking

I love sarcasm and wit, is jealousy or shame harder to admit, sometimes I need a lil help, to figure out myself, that's one of the major reasons I write, it highlights the spite, buried deep within, what happens if no next of kin, where's the wealth go, I swear the government is nothing but a hoe, and they don't even have to put out, nor pay the price for the collective bout of gout, kings disease is running rampant, I just can't understand it, when did we become so numb dumb and spoiled, our brains aren't scrambled they're hard boiled, focused on all the wrong things, if we don't make drastic changes none of us wins, why haven't we gone green, fuck nature everybody's glued to some screen, seems now we're only living to work, failing flailing awaiting the end of this inflation spurt, life's gotten so expensive, I wanna scream at god every single expletive, how can he/she do this to us, to those who they supposedly love, enough with rough and tough, it's time my cup gets filled the fuck up, success is almost like a lightening strike, yet I've seen it happen even more than twice or thrice, it ain't right, but it's still quite the fight to be a serious rapper who's openly gay and white!

Some Serious Lyrics

We all need a hydration break, somehow change our political fate, inflation sucks, financially we're just fucked, I mean there's no substance or value for ur dollar, most going broke as heavily indebted scholars, forever a slave, with an astronomical amount u can never repay, the capitalism system's simply broken, they've even bastardized being awoken, when I'm all about spreading consciousness, I can't stand this hypocritical ignorant obnoxiousness, almost too much to bare, I really wonder if love gets trumped by fear, the corrupt run amok, it feels like there's no light hope or luck, idolizing lying and cheating, demeaning my deep empathetic feeling as a gay weakling, when that's a presumptuous assumption, I got guts cohonez and gumption, my sexuality has no bearing, nor should what I'm wearing, pay attention to my lyrics, I take my poetry and hip hop very serious, it's my ultimate purpose passion/mission, dropping and spitting some truly transcendent knowledge and wisdom!

Stranger Danger: A Justified Lie

Can a lie ever be justified, for years I tried to hide, my inner true nature, don't u too assume they're gonna hate ya, and u can't see the shame, love isn't some shady game, it's the point to life, I'm annoyed by the strife and plight, that comes with being openly gay, just cuz I ain't straight, doesn't mean I fit in, how do I trust when submitting, I'm not subservient to strangers, I've learned the dangers, but I'm still single, tired of the superficial digital mingle, it doesn't work, most boast gloat and flirt, or ignore u completely, so I linger alone and bored defeatedtly, without a gaggle, a humble chameleon as I travel, molding myself to blend, mind numbingly bent again, always in survival mode, warm arrivals turned cold, so I'm ostracized and neglected, once mom goes I won't feel protected, all my immediate family'll be gone, being an orphan's wrong, at any age, embittered with rage, when it's simply I'm hurt, guess now's the perfect time to put me first!

Damn Man Can I Spit

All that scruff, got em jelly as fuck, I like a juicy butt, and don't mind a daddy gut, perfection is in the eye of the beholder, I'm like a fine wine that gets better as I grow older, won't hide the grays, I have both good and bad days, I share it all, the rises and falls, I may not be tall, but I def ain't small, a grower not a shower, in my wallet ull find a few 4 leaf clovers, I need all the luck I can get, is it gambling if I'm a sure bet, u can count on me thin or thick, may not be the best singer but damn man can I spit, I'm salty if u want a lick, my insecurities and shame are hard to admit, but I'm human too, I won't be a ruined fool, just cuz I have fetishes and kinks, having blemishes stinks, like my pits and feet, imagine if life had a button to delete, mistakes are crucial, and tho failure is brutal, it's also beautifully inspiring, do y'all think god and destiny are colluding and conspiring, to fuck us over, why do I always feel the need to look over my shoulder, since I'm consumed by distrust, y'all suck at love cuz it's only lust, another notch on ur belt, thought the distraction would help, yet it didn't, now that there's no mutual respect we are finished!

I Always Side With Mariah

Yesterday I shaved, both my head and face, cuz I needed a change I could control, life lately has affected my soul, everywhere I go I feel heavy, I'm more than "a lil unsteady", but don't bet me I'll give up or fail, my plans may be derailed, yet I'm consistently persistent, extremely resilient, I don't know how, Joss says "the time is always now", the future blew my mind, it's hard to kiss the past goodbye, since it's not tangible, I know I often tangently ramble, artistic success isn't something I gamble it's a sure thing, can y'all even see the happiness that when I rap and sing brings, it's sheer pure joy, my vulnerability and empathy aren't a ploy, it's utterly genuine, I'm a brotherly gentleman, stoic and chivalrous, refuse to be consumed by jealousy or bitterness, cuz I'm simply grateful, I won't feed into being hateful, altho I believe nothing's just or fair, power isn't achieved thru fear, that's a fool's tool, when in doubt I always side with Mariah that "a hero lies in u"!
