#Charge

Work so hard, punch in like I sparred
10 bucks an hour? In the red but I charge
This life is bizarre, still ain’t got a car
Looking at the towers all I see is Isengard

Looking down on me, looking down at the free
They might see a future J, they might see a future B
See the money in the trees, see the money in the weeds
All’s I see’s is the fruit don’t tell me bout the seeds. 

Man, I thought we knew, man, I thought we heed
Got it all construed but please translate for me
I cry a different hue, fight a different cheek 
Stayed inside the lines, they told me not to think

Man I need a shrink, they telling me to shrink
What if I want more, what if it’s what I need?
What if eating the floor’s, no foundation of free
What if that’s not me, what if that’s not me...

Because I was

Born at the bottom but I’m hating at the top
Throw shots tick tock’s and I’m looking at the clock
Wars I done fought em but the battle’s in my thoughts
Then I tally up the pattern, in the valley see the loss

& I’m looking for the cross while I’m cooking up the broth
& this counting on fear is like using chicken stock,
Get it now I’m lost cause these digits have a cost
Chased in interest when it’s hot but I only met a fall

Now it’s all gone, my heart was too involved 
Back at the bottom but I know what’s really tall &
My value stayed the same, how you make a change
When life gets rearranged gotta know where to stay 

Work so hard only for a downfall
Seen the end of a reign when I gave up the reins & 
My value stayed the same, how you make a change
When life gets rearranged gotta know to remain in

Jesus.

#WhiteNoise

All this white noise really keep me awake Make a move they get out of the way, so I’m making a lane How can you prove when I ain’t made mistakes Judge what I do, everything else is fake, had to break You out your bubble, pop off then you KNOW it’s trouble Then you don’t have to act tame, cause I’m out of the cage You built for me and you taught me to say  This is my mood, for 8 hours a day, then I & you part ways I feel relief, I remove all the breaks,  This ain’t new this is neutral, I can’t, stay parked for you,  I got fuel, & I’m starting to tank, the more I feel, I ain’t real, when to drive I must think, I think it’s time to press play  To move forward, gotta accept what I ain’t  To not keep score of a game, I never agreed to play There is more on both sides, so let’s walk down the plank  & if you see me walk towards, please don’t get out the way

Drippin’

Moses parted the seas (c’s) like some b’s & some d’s  Now I’m tackling leads quarterback & the reams  Shorter stacking the weeds hard to lack what you reap You know number one seeds ain’t always number one teams Life a Jungle in the least, got my state on a swing For the vine cap the v, miss the line if don’t reach  All mankind not just me, man ain’t kind on these streets That’s why I rhyme to the beats, lyricize when they mean  & I get what you mean, your status high when you leap I strategize with the links, you patronize with the team I’m riding by let them see, there’s more than I if you think About it, go head & crowd it, fraternize with the fleet & I’m, Geeking out know much of what I don’t need  Never front but I lead, be humbled go take a seat These mumbled dung holes only jumble paralyzed at the feet Got no direction address it, & hope they know how to read We got class in the task, no di...

Dear my old favorite rapper

10 years of good music of course he would lose it Pop off then diss pop stars from the pulpit  Lost how? We just found out who’s the culprit  Top down then pow, hit your fans with your bull...heh Hope you’re doing well had our fix like a tool kit Wanted to branch out but your roots stuck in sewage We’ve all heard the tale that money makes men a nuisance  Change ran a man down & no sense left to him But he’s married now & got 2 times 2 kids I’ll never diss a child, or the wife that he chooses  Still I hope he turns around, I hope he heard the crowd Though wise words shouted out, can be taken as foolish A man from the Chi, I don’t think that he blew it All heals with time, not with bribes & some cool kicks Keep walking the line, hope that you’ll find the Ruler Till then you’re on my mind maybe top 5 in the future
