Death In The Family
I'm In pain
I feel numb
I don't really feel like functioning right now
I Just received some bad news...
So this Is how It feels when you have the blues...
My aunt Is dead
She passed away the other day
I usually have lot of my mind but I got nothing to say
At least not today
I don't even feel like moving my lips
I feel stuck
I don't wanna get up even though I know I should
And I don't wanna stop crying even though I know I could
But It's not good to leave emotions bottled up Inside
So I'm not ashamed to say I cried
That's basically...

The Girl From NEXT
Wanting what you can't have Is so stupid
With that In mind I feel like I keep getting sniped by Cupid
I went to the store NEXT the other day & there was this girl there & she was NICE
It's crazy how a woman can get you with her eyes
And she had me already & that was before I saw her thighs
She was THICK but slim too
Light skinned
Pretty face with long black hair
Ima be honest when I first saw her I couldn't do anything but stare
But only for a second or two
Because time Is money & had other things to do
But anyways whatever ...

Talk To Me
I don't know If I should be upset at you or upset with me
All I know Is for some unknown reason you won't talk to me
And that's messed up
Now I'm stressed up
I mean stressed out
Sapiosexual so you know I'm attracted to your Intelligence
So can you please tell me what I did to you to deserve your negligence?
I'm Just puzzled as to why whenever I hit you up I never get a reply?
It's like you got me over here on standby
And even though I'm writing this to you I feel like I'm Just talking to myself
Maybe I should Just put the rest of my feelings for you...

Stop Complaining
I don't understand why some people always complain
And then they complain about things that are so mundane
It's like they don't realize that things could be worse?
Exaggerating their situation like there living with a curse
Instead of manning up they decide to man down
These are the people I choose not to be around
I mean It's people out here dealing with REAL problems everyday
Matter of fact It was Just the other day when I saw a picture of a family living In a drain pipe
So when you come to me whining about dumb stuff what am I supposed to say?
I mean...

Bobby
I remember the day you died
I remember that day because on that day I cried
I was In my car scrolling through my Instagram when I saw your picture and It said RIP
My first thought was "You gotta be kidding me"
I called up Dione and he confirmed that It was true
Then I remember being overwhelmed with a feeling of not knowing what to do
I mean how could that happen to you?
A massive heart attack and you were only 23??
That's some straight bullshit because you were healthier than me
One of many moments when I could say that life Isn't fair
But...

Random Thoughts
If I'm being honest sometimes when I'm driving In my car I wanna flip It
I usually don't drink alcohol but lately I've been more Inclined to sip It
Suicidal thoughts have always been In my mind but I don't think that I'd ever do It
But what If I wake up one of these days and I'm just like screw It?
That's a sobering thought
Again I don't think that's something that I would ever do
But the fact Is I've done a lot of things that I thought I would never do
Like getting over Dasia
That was one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century for me
And If you...

Mom
They say you don't know what you've got until Its gone
So let me write this before you're gone
I can't think of a fancy or creative way to say that I really appreciate and love you for everything you've done for me
On days when I was cold you brought the sun to me
Weather through your actions or through your kind words of encouragement
Everything you have ever done for me has given me nourishment
And I've grown Into someone that I can say that I like and I know It's all because of you
So I wanna thank you for all that you've done and all that you do
In The...

Friendships
For the most part I usually don't feel
I Just react
Thinking about that makes me wonder If my emotions are still Intact
Because I've been backstabbed back to back
Multiple times and by my so called friends too
I guess I'm on safety mode now I mean what was I supposed to do?
It's getting kinda old really
We're In our 20s now
Who still does stuff like that It's Just silly
But I've always known maturity wasn't necessarily based on a persons age
Even still It doesn't matter because I'm In a new chapter In a new book and on a different page
I thank God...

Thinking
I been thinking about you like Frank Ocean
Day dreaming about us on a road trip somewhere coasting
Driving anywhere because If I'm with you It really wouldn't matter
And that thought right there makes me gladder
Or happier I should say
Man I promise I'll make this daydream a reality one day
That's what I tell myself from time to time
While I write rhyme after rhyme
Hoping that I'll find the words that'll get me closer to you
I write almost everyday now like It's Is what I'm supposed to do
But since this Is for you I mean really what am I supposed...

Favorite Mistake
I use to look at you as being my favorite mistake
Now I Just look at you as being a mistake
I guess that's a bit redundant because the mistake was still there
The only difference Is back then I didn't care
I kinda trusted you
Now I'm Just disgusted with you
Sometimes we expect so much from someone because we'd do that much for them
Man I'm tired of being tired about situations like this
I knew I should of payed more attention to the red flags but Ignorance Is bliss
I gotta let you know that If you do ever come to your senses, I won't be there anymore ...

Never Give In
To the one who opposes me
I Just wanted to let you know that I'll never give up
Or that I'll never give In
And I was wondering when are you gonna realize that you won't win?
The onslaught of attacks seam like they'll never end
So for now I guess I have no choice but to defend
But sooner or later you'll will realize you can't win
And that thought alone makes me grin
So with that In mind I must reiterate that I'll never give In
Even though everyday Is a consistent battle that I fight from within
It's almost like your my evil conjoined twin
Or some...

The Battle
I have the secrets to life In a book that I read In an undertone day and night
But even still It's difficult to avoid what's bad and do what's right
Everyday Is a constant fight
And somedays I Just wanna give up and give In
Its Just an ongoing battle that I feel like I can't win
I mean I know I can Its Just that some days I Just wanna stop trying
The stress Is to the point where I feel like I should be crying
But I don't
Or rather I won't
Either way I guess I'm Just too numb
But regardless of that I still gotta stay ready for whatever may come ...
