A Diamond (In the Rough)
just remember the adage where theres muck theres brass
look out for a diamond in the rough, the glass is crass
and you know the cloth make the man
so damn sure ima floss when I can
they also say a bird in the hand is worth deuce in the bush
they see me chokin' on this kush
and yet people ask me why, I signal sign up that middle finga'
cuz until I get a gun its my only alternative to the trigga'
to show yall I know just whats wrong witchya'
go figure
yall end up twitchers
for the grave digger...

Let the Honey Bubble (f**k the money trouble)
got half the money
on the bag of sunny
coughin' and gaggin' this herbal action got us actin' funny
so bubble up the honey
joints gettin' runny
sweet it up till this shit is nothin' but fuckin' yummy
crystals in the lungs got me talkin' somethin' lovely
so fuck the money trouble
sticky icky keepin' me from bein' sickly
-im just tryna watch the honey bubble
get a couple cunnies on the double
lookin' like those bunnies out the mansion lookin' supple
I wonder if shed do it for a bundle?

People
people are people
from the churchgoer laughin at you with a grin
even tho already you well aware you gonna be nothing
but sin.
that may be the case but be fucked if im the type to go out like all that dust in the wind.
people are people from the black president to the white russian
people are people from the case worker fussin with this broken hearted kid who wont stop cussin
im tired of people being people with their hatin then their lovin
these people dont know how not to be evil with their pushin and their...

Youth Wasted (parts 1 and 2)
Youth Wasted on the Young
1.) The Youth
This is the story as it goes real life actor,
cracked plaster,
escape from this dying fate run faster
black and white backdrop the way he sees because hes clinically depressed
hes a fucking young prodigy could have been a genius
instead he lives like a fucking vagrant on the streets with his own mother, goddamn it does he feel blessed.
Only fourteen blasts his tolerance to the test
in every way stressed
so he taketh up the ses
yet still smarter than to fall into shit like meth ...

simplicity was intelligence (working title)
intelligence
intelligence isn't what you necessarily think
intelligence is not the only answer, merely the transport to deliver us from the brink
intelligence is half eloquence
and half arrogance
intelligence is simplicity
derived from simple misery
as opposed to the past our power was unity
perhaps without knowing what we were becoming we picked this trait up foolishly?
were so smart weve learned not to trust
and weve learned that were so high and mighty we came from dead star matter, not...

Waiting for the Water (drowning in a lake of fire)
I must be in hell I see the fire all around
no fear its like I feel well; the fires look like gold wire abound and the melted wires make a hallowed sound
The house is looking nice
illusions of the mind yet I never think twice
cats to the mice
sheep as people if the metaphors suffice
here's a bit of scientific truth like sci-fi like we in Splice
people in the rice
and the potatoes
the government knows not what it do so the people have to stay close
make the most out of what we knows around the corner...

Anger or Empathy? (short)
should I feel anger or empathy?
Either way im no stranger to devils on my shoulders temptin me
with weed and Hennessy pushin me down the stairs how Denise the menace be-
-doin. And always making sure my life is in a state of ruin. A state of denial im choosin much is the state of the union.

Freestylin' on a Migraine
I need to be impressive
but I need to see the incentive
See just what you want to say
Stress me till im throwin up
test me till im blowin up
bless me like you know the how of why im goin up
but yall know im goin down
so far down in a lake of fire I find a way to drown
so dark and I can only hear the sound
of the tortured souls
as above so below so its obvious to me duality has got to be the more correct road
when your good you go to heaven?
Shit that dont even make sense

The Upset
I see right through the fabric of time
the mistress of the minutes like wearin' silk lookin' fine
blowin' my mind
right before my eyes
I see all these lows; all these highs
it is all an illusion
relative to the way we live it's just to ease the confusion
so our lives have no intrusions
we embrace our delusions
People who talk that shit about religion
but truth is nobody has real facts on which one is and which one isnt
only things we do got is public schools pain clinics...

Mass Hysteria (Welcome to America)
Mass Hysteria
Welcome to America it is in a hole
they want your heart they want your body and they want your soul
they want you depressed

all they want is a simple pound of flesh!
And marshal law

Are you so deprived of vitamins?
Yall undead without a life to live
