i shot the sheriff
i thought i was
enough
thought i was tough
they told me “life? oh that’s supposed to be rough”
tell me that i’m lazy
that i live life too hazy
but it’s funny cus i’m not
but it’s funny cus i thought
too much not not in my lane
in the night i feel vain
why did i eat that?
why do i even rap?
is life real?
fact: just money hacks
the computer in my cranium
he told me “shawty make it rain on them”
poetry
baby how about you flow me
go with me
to the unscattered part of my brain
where i am whole
welcome to the inner workings of my soul
tell them i’m whole
welcome to the inner workings of my soul
i tell her i am whole
don’t tell me i’m not listening when i know
i’m near greatness
and i can taste it
i cannot waste this
moment
i own it
cus i have the power
every minute
every hour
then i feel sour
so i scour
at my reflection
is it complex, did
i just mention?
i just want attention
that i have something to say
that i have found the way
the middle path
time to feel my wrath
crash into fear
feel more love my dear
give more hugs
lie on rugs
be luxurious
fight for bugs
on the ground
be more curious
of your surroundings
i am astound please
see the beauty with me
