    on my mind i guess

     
    same shyt different days..
    my life's a vantage point...everybody gat a different take
    give or take
    bottom line is some folk just live to hate
    but i dont hate em back matter fact i appreciate
    cuz thanks to that i use em to give me strength
    meditate to the most high n elevate
    wit no high..no medicate
    just rise above..levitate
    n wit so many chips to make
    i cant just sit n wait
    i lift the weight..placed on me by affiliates
    who cudnt make it...so i take em wit me as i accelerate
    might hear them down me..but words wont penetrate
    success is the best way to devastate..any who negate
    no reply..no debate
    no remorse no rebate
    im bout to marry the hustle..i set a date
    to see my state change..
    like u.s exchange rates
    i maintain faith...
    to sustain fate
    so when the rain breaks..
    im straight

    what am i provin..
    evrytime i feel i hit a groove..i end up losin
    situations rarely improvin
    runnins as fast as i can ..but feel like i aint movin
    when u look at the consequences that u in
    from unplanned movements..that leaves ya chance ruined
    to make things right n u think back on life..like what if i neva knew this
    its useless..cuz evrything is for a reason ..reason bein it's inevitable to not do shyt
    n almost impossible to redo it..after you blew it
    just another scar u grew wit..
    impactin it's influence on future resolutions
    long as u dont misconstrue..problem wit solution
    then the solution aint a problem..its a cue
    to rise above what you used to do..
    so life dont seem suspended as it do..
    whenever mistakes repeat ..defeat is sickening..so wisdom peaks relief..like thera-flu
    guess shyt aint as bad as think..who knew?

    hustle 07

     
     
    understand..just listen
    im tryna position myself..into a man's definition
    driven..by ambition..wit no brakes..
    so little room for mistakes..i might suffocate
    but..this is how i'll find out who am i
    consumed by pride..forced to push feelinz to the side
    it's do or die...to stop is suicide
    so i hustle push claw..no flaw just pace n stride
    caught in this rush..heart beat speed up
    cant fall behind..have to keep up
    street up..sqaud up...stock up
    no time to die or get locked up
    so im evry where dey wont see me
    no envy..im emotionally empty
    not jealous..i dont watch fellas
    dey watch me..tryna copy but cud neva do betta
    i run thru cheddar..das y i gatta make more
    cuz i wanna live better
    so in a year maybe more
    i aint just an employee..im entrepreneur
    from nassau to ports..
    andros resort...
    no bills so chill..beachfront fa sure
    acres..wit no neighbors wake up to shores
    highly favoured..dreamers dream
    i materialize my thoughts
    so i guess that makes me a boss?..of course
    same dude who used to walk from court to court
    now keyless entry unlocks his doors
    neva satisfied..what's yours is yours
    i need mine..i need time to 1 to 4
    turn 4 to 14..
    tryna show em what "this is why im hot" means
    ahhhhhhhh....................

    defensive

     
     
    sittin reminiscin as my mind replays over life
    feelins shift..seems as if things can change overnight
    livin with the regrets....tho i have let em go
    some things i cant forget...n they sting to the soul
    gat me watchin my steps...cant fall in the same holes
    same eyes..just different views of the way things go
    it'll be so easy if i lose control..
    get lost on a moment..soothe my soul
    but everytime i do..i review the old
    preview whats to come..then pride takes hold
    n when my ego's swole...there's no reachin me
    the thing that beats in me...drops to degrees so cold
    n detach myself from anything i own..or anyone i may have known
    so many paths to take..but im a pave my own
    till my name's engraved in stone..
    all i cud do is pray i aint wrong........

    to be finished

     
     
     
     
    i try to be different..but who am i kiddin
    some things never change...it's in my veins
    strange..how quickly feelins shift
    from bein so into u..to not bein into shyt
    n i dont mean to be so in-con-sid-e-rate
    but that's how it is...not so much deliberate
    but i dont feel the same way i did..say a month on in
    now im lookin back at what i did
    played gipetto..from the get go..
    u was spose to be a puppet..wit no strings attached..but u wont let go
    so i cant fight u..just let time fly by..
    till u lose that eye..n ya view gets clearer
    cuz u knew i lied..but didnt want hear it
    so u knew this time..was close n comin
    but u was still there by my side..
    tho u cudnt see me half the time
    n i wish i cud explain this..

    uh
     
    life's a struggle but i love it
    live it n learn from it...
    seen ppl walk in it..walk from it..over dumbshyt
    seen my hopes rise...nosedive n plummet
    yet i survive..regain stride n overcome it
    still gat some pride..but i cant run from it
    pain?..im numb from it
    so now i avoid fake's n just hustle
    like today's my last..cuz tommorow aint promised
    while savin my harvest in case rainy days come in
    dont hate dont lie...live n die trustin
    in those who trust me ..only the real stay humble
    it's hard to love when u been deepfried from it
    n we try n try..but we grow tired of it
    so i dried my cries ..retired from it
    cuz only those willin to sacrifice gain a life of it
    the rest simply detest the likes of it
    reminiscin the strife n fights that came from it
    cuz they werent self-less ..just too selfish to rise above it
    n im layed back for a while..thinkin why i'd done it
    to accelerate me...livin with regrets..the backstabs penetrate me
    so i cut off the deadweight..accept that folks will hate me
    jus cuz of the fact they cant pre-meditate me...
    cant understand..cant regenerate me
    all they cud do is try n push my buttons..till they detonate me
    i kno i dont control my own fate
    but  the decisions leadin up to it that i can say 
    tryna make so when the Lord comes..i cant stay
    chant praise

    cant stop

     
     
    it hurts me thinkin of ya kiss
    tryna live wit da fact i cant see u knowin it didnt start like this
    my biggest crush..with the slickest touch
    gat me sittin up wonderin y we'd eva give it up
    used to live it up..u'd neva get rid of me
    now things different huh..u str8 up sick of me
    n i cant stay mad..play bad..
    cuz full well u onnna da best eva ray had
    n tho we on seperate paths..
    i still believe in u..neva regret that
    good times i'll neva forget that
    but now im at a point i just gatta step back
    let u do ya thing..n i dont believe in sumthin returnin
    so im burnin...cuz once a good thing gets lost..its rarely eva returnin
    n u may not eva think of me the same way
    but end of the day..there was neva games played
    got caught up in the wrong things..n gave way
    allowin the opportunity to take place...
    where u'd lose trust in me n our feelinz wud change pace
    believe me when i say..it wasnt me that day
    wish i cud say who..but maybe it was spose to be that way
    listenin to friends.."oh yeah girl he that way"
    knowin i was tru..neva did i stray
    but when u started pushin me away..
    i flipped cudnt see that straight....
    wishin i cud hold u ...just see that face
    those eyes..that smile..that'll be so great
    if i cud re-iterate what  time deleted..cleaned n erased
    u might forget about us but i kno i aint cuz...
     
     
    i cant get u off my mind..
    tho i kno u aint mine..im so hooked on ya style
    n whatever i do..i cant find another u
    so i guess i gatta take this n smile
     
     
     
    yeah..i made mistakes
    still payin for em to this day
    when sorry aint enuff...n "i miss u" is overplayed
    n we misuse trust..cuz feelinz are overlayed
    by anger n pain..n feelin so betrayed
    but not all the time we see the portrait as portrayed
    n it's so easy to leave..we'd forgetten y we stayed
    y we believed ....just got more rotten as the days...
    passed on...this will forever last on..specially knowin i been replaced
    but this what i allowed to happen..cuz i let u lose faith
    thinkin u was unfaithful when u aint
    livin up to "their perception..but i saw evrything i want in ya face
    n i cant take anything back....so physically i gatta let u go
    but emotionally i cant..cz i feel for u more than u'd eva kno
     
    real talk
     
     
     
     
     
     

    problem

     
     
     
    talkin to myself in third person
     
     
    uh..he takes responsiblity for his.. it's on him
    still tryna figure out what happens when he gets involved in
    relationships that start legit n end up dissolvin
    is it him or is it them?..gat some issues needin resolvement
    feels like he's livin in a world that aint revolvin
    tryna push it to the limit..slowly evolvin
    but every time he feels emotions its p-rob-lem
    n he'd be lyin if he said he wasnt feelin em
    wasnt missin..wasnt needin em..
    by his side...Gad damn his pride....
    he's so diff-e-rent from other guys...
    he stays tru...calm n loyal..yet under eyes
    he's so scared torn n puzzled..trouble underlies
    he's unsecure bout certain things it's his demise
    with a reputation that exceeds him...filled with lies
    but he cant leave em alone..till he finds a queen to seat on his throne
    more than just a few weekends alone
    speakin of years spent...spring to fall
    n a few chicks he met ..yeah they worth it all
    but once bitten twice shy...so he rarely commits at all
    but he aint a dawg....he just lookin out for him..back against a wall
    cuz errytime he gives in..his strengths break em all
    but when he's vulnerable..girls shake him off
    n yeah he act shady...but he makes it known
    n at times he acts prematurely...but he aint fake..he's grown
    man of his word..not a follower he holds his own
    so if u see him ..dont throw ya stones
    hug a nigga ..let him know he aint alone..
     
    he's so gone.............................

    irreplaceable

     
     
    see i gat a problem
     
    so many chicks been down fa me
    n i just seem to let em down ya see
    neva cried so many tears inside its drownin me
    cuz im chasin ones that aint around fa me
    n it hurts me hurtin u...knowin the things i do
    make u cry..even i wonder y myself
    but im out for the moment tryna find myself
    n i'll neva understand how it happens
    i flirt n mack em..perhaps when im tired i'll be back in
    ya heart..cud pick up from the start
    but u must not kno bout me...see i break hearts in-directly
    so it's to the left to the left.
    when we shud be thinkin to the death to death
    but i aint learnin..its like words to the deaf
    n by the time i'll want u..u'll be wit someone else
    cuz i kno i'm replaceable..unforgetable..untraceable
    what u see is what u get..all of me till i take it back
    n i feel i'll neva change till time changes that
    cud be years days months..y front..be upfront
    luv me wit ya mind..spare ya heart the dump
    save the drama...imma rollin stone...heart came wit armor
    so dont think im bein cruel rude or heartless
    it's hard fo me to choose..between flesh n hearts it's
    like my flesh lives..n the rest is departed
    hope u get the message i imparted'''
    if not?..just disregard this..it's hard kid

    lost

     
     
    yeah i admit it..
    past few months i been slippin
    trippin off my own intuition
    an incurable condition...that i've fixed in position
    from a fixation with women..
    n my addictions grown bigger than it's cure
    the little that was pure..dissolved in my flawz
    im zipped up..this devil's suit cant come off
    n the medication God gave me is wearin off
    lost..knowin the consequences of my actions
    but jut the thought of satisfaction gat me mackin
    wrapped in..trapped in my devices..with no key
    it's saw three n i barely realized it
    cuz im blinded..by short term pleasure
    wit long term measures i endure till im buried
    n i'm 5 miles from empty..wit no reserve
    i so deserve to die for my lies..my deceit
    kept every receipt..a non refundable defeat
    n it repeats..evry time a honey's lookin sweet
    nice n thick..short n sweet
    i know im wrong so i own up...practically raised myself
    but so far from grown up..mentality of a winner
    generosity at the center...tho  fall n fall again
    u always help me get up..i'll never understand
    there must be a bigger purpose..u really want me to stand
    cuz when i give up on me..u still holdin my hand
    tho i disappoint u every day...
    tho i turn away...
    u neva left ..that's y im scared
    cuz i mess up anyway...
    n thinkin bout drives me insane..is this in vane?
    even in pleasure im feelin pain...
    cuz i wanna really walk wit u..i got issues..
    but i wont change today..let's see this out
    to be continued.....................
    November 14

    it's on me

     
     
    once bitten..twice shy..three times?..forget it
    any doubts of bein nice now forget it
    learn to live with regrets..mistakes will be made
    n the deeper involved u get the stakes will be raised
    so many expectations...it's inevitable to fail
    life's full of aches n pains...withdrawals n rage
    gatta step back ..to gain
    try to stay on ya game....
    tho experience leads to change..
    stay tru to u..only the real remain
    kill the doubts ..release the chaains..
    turnin over a new leaf...a path free from games
    honesty's all i gat...no finger to blame
    accept responsibility for all i claim
    cuz all i came with..was sin n naked
    no instructions  what i taught myself..is protect wats sacred
    my character..my strengths...my patience
    so somewhere i kno i'll make it
    whichever road i'll take it...
    cuz years down the road..i wanna own my acres
    raise my kids...make my paper
    see my name highly favoured
    from hard work n dedication...
    my will's my sedative..my medication
    it soothes my burn..releases my tension
    takes me away..leaves me suspended
    cuz i cant get attached..this curse is so persistent
    i'm all i know..ppl cud be so inconsistent
    so if i cant stand on my own...hold my position
    then let me cease to exist...n free my spirit
     
    it's on me
     
    October 22

    nameless

     
     
     
    i been brushed off..pusshed off..left for dead
    forgotten..betrayed..abused..misread
    misunderstood...used..and jeered
    n it used to hurt...tore my heart to shreds
    now i use the hurt..propel myself ahead
    into a realm of nice things n wealth
    experience helped..i aint the ray they used to seein
    changed my mindset reason bein
    that tomorrow's too uncertain to hold grudges against human beins
    so i suck it up..toughen up
    life dont change it 's ways to suit none of us
    so i change my ways to suit life
    took a while to swallow my pride..but that's life
    girls come n go..that's nice
    but i'm lookin for a consistent type..that's right
    been kicked while i was down...like twice
    everytime im goin thru  crisis...they get griped
    n i dont chase..let em get swiped
    cuz i dont need that stress..i luv life
    n tho these niggas hate...i'm still fly
    still livin like i cant die...knowin i shudda been dead least 5 times
    but i'm the only dog wit 9 lives
    lookin for a dime to share mine wit
    but i end up wit nickels n one time hits
    so i gave up on that "mrs. right" tip
    most chicks dont want much in life..cept nice kicks
    or niggas in nice fits with nice whips
    nice job...money nice n long..nice crib
    so i rewrite the songs as i get
    older n diffrentiate..liabilities n assets
    a real lady dont consist of ass n nice tits
    she gat class..loyal...n adjusts what life gives
    n i kno atleast 2 in my life like this
    actually quite a few..tho i let em slip
    cuz they came at a time i cudnt handle it
    n now i attract the bad bitches...
    so i dont holla no more...i ignore
    looks dont move me no more..i swear
    im lookin behind eyes...she gatta have more than curled hair
    cuz most girls aint what they appear
    give em 3 months ..u'll see everything clear
    when the cuttin up wears off..n the problems interfere
    see who was in love..n who loves ya dear
    who cud come see u when u hurt..when da world dont care
    u aint gatta worry cuz she be right there....
    i'd give anything to feel that there...
    but bad examples..gat me three times more scared to eva share
    eva care...eva stare in pretty eyes
    cuz i feel all i'll eva hear is witty lies
    cuz they scared..aint prepared for a future
    n truth is...love aint greater than fear
    love dont love nobody..it's neva seemed fair
    but life aint either..deal wit it ..immaturity leads to affairs
    n affairs lead to distrust..to disgust...emotional mix ups
    n u go from lookin for a good girl..to lookin to get ya dick sucked
    haha..cruel world...but it's up to u how it unfurls
    how it plays out..complex or laid out
    its up to u if u gon stress...or phase out
    none-the -less...it fades out...
    cuz love n life..is like life n death..it's inevitable..just weigh it out

    i'm in too deep..cant choose sides
    evrytime i think i gain..i lose stride
    it convicts spirit..yet fuels pride
    a fool's bribe..n i took it with jewelled eyes
    foolish..yet it soothes the same pain it brings
    short term pleasure...consequence remains
    but i refrain from thinkin bout it till my high's obtained
    then i beat myself up for it..cuz it's insane
    the same thing that's killin me..cures my burn
    i make the same mistakes..im too involved to learn
    sacrifice..i want to..but the lures are firm
    n they aint budgin..despite how i push n squirm
    n i cant handle it alone..but i cant talk about it
    so im shut off from the world..dont nobody kno about it
    im too ashamed to tell...made for heaven..claimed by hell
    maybe the devil's gat me..it's too late to tell
    or maybe imma breakthrough waitin to happen..cant say myself
    but as i age it aint gettin better..
    try to resist..but we end up back together..
    im addicted..obsessed..it's too much for me
    feels like im bein punished..evrytime i see..
    speak..touch ..hear ..im weak
    i need clarity...cuz im feelin like i ...
    like i...
    like i im too "out there" to reach

    suspended animation

     
     
    uh...
     
     
     
    scared of what's happening
    setback's at evry turn unravelling
    parts of me i hate showing...
    yet nobody hears my cries..
    slient screams...all they see is a smile
    my name..ringin in the ears of many
    for things i dont deserve credit for
    or merit..they love the negative me
    the positive? they wont hear it
    so y share it...they lovve to see me heartbroken eyes tearin
    im starin
    in the mirror..not seeing a reflection
    just a misconception of my perception
    "you dont look like this".."you dont act like that"
    they try n put my face to something im not
    i cant take it...
    so many lowered expectations..
    shud i rise above of it?..or provide em comfort
    puttin them before me..dont seem intelligent
    but puttin me before them makes me selfish doesnt it?
    torn between..freedom..n free will
    n it's killin me not knowin what tomorrow brings
    bad decisions..driven by lavish livin
    flesh influenced...death n ruin..is all it leads to
    but i love it
    so what do i do  this is so confusing
    i try to tell the devil to shove. it.change my life
    then next minute..im tryna covet my neighbour's wife?
    what's the aim of life...in this game of life
    i need a cheat code..feel like im goin thru each stages twice
    n im scared to fail..to die of gunshots...die of AIDS
    from one minute of mistakes..a whole life taken away
    Lord take me before i stray..i pray...
    what's the use...feel like i wont gain
    no matter how much i obtain..attain..my stains remain
    n perfection aint in my veins
    n protection cant keep me safe
    no gun no rubber no knife no way
    of me avoidin my fate...
    my face..shows all i feel
    expressions express my real's
    ordeals..my ups my downs
    show me my kingdom..before i lose my crown
    my ground..im wounded now
    i dont kno how to trust..love?dont exist
    m the few times i do..they dont assist
    another door closed..another burnt bridge
    n i'm colder than a fridge..
    angel till i die..soldier while i live
    but it's hard..please show me away
    the worlds a maze..
    n it s seemin death's the only escape
    so till the signs come ..i'll keep holdin the faith
    per say

    detox

     
     
     
    minutes turn hours turn days..
    n i aint pickin up the phone this time
    see i'm..
    feelin not so in the mood for u
    somewhere we grew...
    somewhere we knew..we grew apart
    n i been tryin hard not to get bored
    but...i cant help..cuz see normally im selfish
    but what i thought i was in made me more selfless
    helpless..n u'd take advantage of my smile
    my style..of not pullin scenes ..stayin calm on trial
    n evry little thing..evry word gets thrown back
    yet i press thru the negative..hopin for positive feed back
    but your so jealous..n truly..i dont need that
    so i sit here...thinkin of my imperfections
    my immaturity..tryna measure up to what u want from me
    but i cant..cuz u expect nothin..
    u expect me to mess up to cover up your problems
    n ive become so intoxicated by your presence
    that im actin unconsciously the feelin is overwhelmin
    it's hurtin me...but this torture feels so good
    tryna see if i cud make a fire with no wood
    u drainin me...cuz im givin givin ..n u barely entertainin me
    it's makin me sick..i gat a hangover just thinkin of ya kiss
    of ya smile..all the while not realizin...u killin me slowly
    n i aint even noticed
    but the time without u is allowin me to sober
    i may be out till november
    but we'll end before october
    i gave u my all..neva lied neva cheated
    but now i keep my distance
    due to irreconcilable difference-s
    mixed up with...alotta luggage from unhealthy relat-ion-ships
    n i aint the type to chase ya...

    trippin

     
     
    it's overwhelmin..im self consumed
    nowhere seems like home
    my gift my curse...ppl only kno my face
    my fate?..no one relates
    my faith?..fading every breath i take
    i'm becomin evrything i hate
    tho evrything seems great...it aint
    my joy's overtook by pain
    my reign..is rain..darkness..but i cant complain
    cuz i've hardened..made scars from stains
    now it's harder just to sustain
    stay sane..press on..to gain
    but gain what?..what i want seems unattained
    what i need is an ear or shoulder
    cuz i gat tears neva cried while sober
    and really there's no one to blame
    so many ways to change..but i cant maintain
    i fall back from where i came
    n with all that..u think i'd change
    but im caught up in my games
    my vices...any time there's crisis
    im back in my corner...attackin who wants ta
    help but they dont kno who dey dealin wit
    see i'mma genius..n it hurts bein manipulative
    but it soothes the burn....
    cuz my emotions get the best of me..i refuse to learn
    so i'll be damned till i lose my firm
    grip on what reality is...
    or till reality loses me ....ha

    just a reminder

     
     
    dont eva know what u gat till its gone
    it dont eva feel right till its wrong
    n tho it aint what u want u move on
    and that's when they dont like the response
    after u tried to fight so long
    thinkin nuthin cud break such a tightened bond
    n in ya eyes feels like they the one
    till u drop ya guards when they drop the bomb
    so im like...preserve self first
    nobody can love u like u...then other ties might work
    dont be a fool for nobody..
    cuz love dont love nobody
    try ya best to let it grow...
    n if it dont try ya best to let it go
    cuz life aint a friend or foe
    the consequences cud leave u bent or broke
    ppl come n go...realize the truth
    branches might break..keep the trunks n roots
    stay up....u'll only grow stronger
    learn to live without regrets
    n feel pain no longer
    cuz it aint till ya far apart..till the heart grows fonder

    dont mis-read my signs
    i mean..i dont wanna lead u on..but das just me sometimes
    i say thingz to get what i want..
    so before u get too deep lemme put da brakes on
    i dont wanna hurt u..u nice and all
    but i was only interested in one night..thats all
    so what i liked dissolved..da minute ya clothes came off
    plz dont make this hard..i dont wanna be blamed at fault
    cuz tho u want us to be..we aint involved
    so let me be..we cud be friends from a distance
    cuz i cant look u in ya eyes..it'll trigger my guilt n i
    gat a problem with my built in pride
    so gimme space..matter fact gimme da whole nine
    see ya feelinz untamed..i can control mine
    flick em on n off...hope is lost
    hope u dont hate me...but this cant go on
    this is me time...tryna re-cline
    n figure what i want ...sweet lies
    i didnt mean to
    so just let me fade to black...i aint king enuff to queen u
    actually i am..but i'm just tryna make it easier to breeze thru
     
    sorry sorry sorry sorry.................

    mine

     
     
    dayz end the same way..cold beds n heart aches
    tho i learned to set apart the fakes
    all da real ones taken..n i'm only foolin masef
    tryna break up sumthin so sacred
    tho dey like my style smile n conversations
    there's more to me than what we make it
    n i aint bitchin but..i gatta mention it
    i'm slippin into a place where a conscience aint welcomed in
    n i'd lie if i said i aint felt um
    but damn...enuffs enuff ..settlin aint helpin
    n lookin fa it leads to infatuation
    so i'm chillin..killin myself with a alcohol n weed fascination
    prayin for a time
    when im sent someone who gonna be all mine
    at all times...rain or shine
    sumtin oh so divine
    tired of bein shared..spared n compared
    tired of countless affairs
    cuz when i look around at my peers
    makes me realize...i've wasted so many years
    so many gorgeous's cutie's n jungalists
    i cant remember em all..n i dont wanna live like this
    so i guess i'mma chill for my own health
    n pray dat God dont send me someone elses angels
    just a reflection of myself...
