Shaken,
shook.
Can’t shake you for the life of me
you’re such a crook.
I can’t win but I can’t quit.
Can’t wrap my mind
around
this
shit.
I thought I was the hustler but now I got GOT.
Forgot the rules, now I'm in a jam,
on the spot.
Every Confidence Man knows
you can’t con an honest man.
It’s the greedy ones that fall,
wanting something for nothing-
wanting it all.
I feel like blazing my way out of this
innocent bystanders crawl… and duck for cover.
But selfish keeps telling me
that self is all I...

I’m forgiven
I’m for giving
I’m forbidden
I’m forgetting

It’s in my genes
I’m out my jeans
Caught in between
A rock and a soft place
A taste I can’t erase
A memory I can’t replace

I can’t press rewind
My Rock with a sad face
Sending rockets to blow up my spot
I’m giddy at the thought

I’ll break it into a million pieces
Destruction for goodness sake
Destroying a generation
For my own veneration

And build something new
I could have just withdrew
Saved that deposit for my kids future
Instead...
