Private Jets
Private jets
And chemtrails
Flying first class
45 minutes to my house
1 percent carbon footprint
132 times more than you
Caviar and silk robes
Paid for by your local mailman
Billions and billions
Can’t wrap my mind around
But they leave the check for the rest of us
And tweet about bullshit
They think is important
But not in my world
Have a birthday of decadence
Jet set to opulence
Must be nice for a peasant
Close as you get
Be their servant
Pick up...
And chemtrails

Chasing Green
Chasing Green
Done chasing green hoping it frees me
Focusing on living in the second
As you learn that time is more precious than
A bank account given to a grave
Traveling on a time chart setting goals that will be to suffering like a drop in the bucket
Money sits in misery surrounded by sycophantic bitches
Far away but in this world we live in
On a paddy field the climate water is rising
Young girl goes back to show her family she did her part
Daddy knows it’s not enough but he...
Done chasing green hoping it frees me
Focusing on living in the second
As you learn that time is more precious than
A bank account given to a grave
Traveling on a time chart setting goals that will be to suffering like a drop in the bucket
Money sits in misery surrounded by sycophantic bitches
Far away but in this world we live in
On a paddy field the climate water is rising
Young girl goes back to show her family she did her part
Daddy knows it’s not enough but he...

Puppy Kiss
Letting a puppy kiss your lips
Shows me that real not AI in a nightmare
Puppies kiss your lips but you’re not solved
Can’t figure myself what I’m all about
Dissolve in my soul of lies trying to realize
What is Real
Im a figure of your imagination looking for me
I can see but I don’t see noise in my eyes
entrapped me and it won’t end easily
All I want is a puppies lips to kiss
Because they feel my soul in a bowl
Always full of love between us
Why Can’t two legs live...
Shows me that real not AI in a nightmare
Puppies kiss your lips but you’re not solved
Can’t figure myself what I’m all about
Dissolve in my soul of lies trying to realize
What is Real
Im a figure of your imagination looking for me
I can see but I don’t see noise in my eyes
entrapped me and it won’t end easily
All I want is a puppies lips to kiss
Because they feel my soul in a bowl
Always full of love between us
Why Can’t two legs live...

Best Friend
Nothing like your best Friend making you better
I miss a string I can’t sing but you
Offer no comfort say I can’t sing at your bar
I’m dragon in my thoughts you say I can’t sing to you
Drop the demon within me and go back to work
Callouses on fingers warm up my throat
Strum in the stillness when I’m not moving
Puppet on TV saying clap for me
Put it on mute pick up the instrument
Sitting on stool playing for myself
Maybe I can play Here Comes the Sun to free me
I...
I miss a string I can’t sing but you
Offer no comfort say I can’t sing at your bar
I’m dragon in my thoughts you say I can’t sing to you
Drop the demon within me and go back to work
Callouses on fingers warm up my throat
Strum in the stillness when I’m not moving
Puppet on TV saying clap for me
Put it on mute pick up the instrument

Final Four for my Soul
Ball n tunes vs smoke n alcohol (Final Four for my soul)
Epic battle like Tyson vs Ali
Goliath and David
In the garden
Who wins will decide my soul
Rooting for bball but alcohol calls me
Back in to swim and lose myself
Find my way to the surface
Hearing tunes of dolphins
Smell skunk on the horizon
Sink into oblivion
Clear brain can’t find a word
To put together
Spirit’s figure it out
Playin leather and pulling strings
Are things of Buddha beings
...

Here and Now
It took a lot to get to here
Sweat runs down the day laborer
Sleeps in the sun while all are moving
Drops her off to school to go back to sleep
Turning in the covers thoughts win me over
Can’t sleep thinking with my brain turned off
She ends her day of learning my dreams go to sleep dreaming
Back in the soil of everyday life
Brain can’t sleep my body suffers
Back in the soil of everyday life
Brain can’t sleep my body suffers that
Dreams are heaven when you’re laying down ...
Sweat runs down the day laborer
Sleeps in the sun while all are moving
Drops her off to school to go back to sleep
Turning in the covers thoughts win me over
Can’t sleep thinking with my brain turned off
She ends her day of learning my dreams go to sleep dreaming
Back in the soil of everyday life
Brain can’t sleep my body suffers
Back in the soil of everyday life
Brain can’t sleep my body suffers that
Dreams are heaven when you’re laying down ...

I Wanna Be A…
I Wanna Be A…
So I’m just a rock star
Trying to get on the stage
Thunder from under the auditorium
Broken string that I play
I’m just getting started don’t tempt me
Sit in the audience and listen
Feel like I can be one of them
I can be almost as good as them
Good enough for me and then some
I can slay a dragon if you let me
I can be your demon if that’s what you want me to be
I can be a friar serving penance for the congregation
All I want to be is a rock star
I know this will not...
So I’m just a rock star
Trying to get on the stage
Thunder from under the auditorium
Broken string that I play
I’m just getting started don’t tempt me
Sit in the audience and listen
Feel like I can be one of them
I can be almost as good as them
Good enough for me and then some
I can slay a dragon if you let me

What’s the frequency Kenneth?
Kenneth what’s the frequency
Am I just a barcode
Everywhere I go leaves a scent
Can’t escape any way
For it follows me
Right in my pocket
Lo Jack supreme
Pings off a tower
Find my phone and leave me alone
I’m tired of scrolling through this madness
Technology was to save us all
Made us slaves of social media
Control alt delete
That’s what we should do
Get back to being comfortable
Am I just a barcode
Everywhere I go leaves a scent
Can’t escape any way
For it follows me
Right in my pocket
Lo Jack supreme
Pings off a tower
Find my phone and leave me alone
I’m tired of scrolling through this madness
Technology was to save us all
Made us slaves of social media
Control alt delete
That’s what we should do
Get back to being comfortable

Quiet Bullet
Eat a bullet to quiet my demons
Help on the way
Save me from myself
The powder on my fingers
Will live with them through eternity
Dig out of my bunker
Stick the flag of my being
Firmly in my ground
Can’t go out like that
I’m much too handsome
Come around to how it really is
Cast away all the bullshit
Find some joy in dull minutes
But I have ADHD I can’t pay attention
To even myself
You say something to me
My brain is racing somewhere else
Pay...
Help on the way
Save me from myself

Full House
Full house
Going to the table
Someone’s money in my hand
Get my first card (impeachment)
I didn’t do anything wrong
In fact what I did was (Perfect)
Back in the game because
They wouldn’t convict
Get dealt my 2nd card of
Impeachment
This time lost my election
By 7 million
But I cried foul
They stole my Coranation
Plot and scheme with
Sydney and Rudy G
Go to bat in the court
62 times
Stand in the box
Uncle Sam says fastball
...

Ea$y Money (Not so Easy)
Ea$y Money (Not so easy)
Cutting in line
Won’t wait my turn
It’s my money and
I want to collect
But the game ain’t over
There’s still time
For it to fall to pieces
Does it almost every time
Life of a Rider
Comin up short in the end
They say insanity is
When you rinse and repeat
Tryin to make an easy buck
Instead of just being
Losing an easy buck instead
Of pocketing
Life of a Rider
Isn’t an easy path
Want to get rid of this
Insanity not so easy
...

Vanilla Chocolate Breath
Vanilla Chocolate Breath
This is your death
Vanilla chocolate on your breath
You’re not dead you’re saying
I’m alive kicking and screaming
I can’t detect more than a smell
I’m too drunk to finish you
But when I wake up again
I’m goddam woke Im screaming
You have Vanilla Chocolate Breath
I smell you In your sleep
I dream you awake
I sleep on your sweet smell
Your sweet Vanilla Chocolate Breath
Comforts me when I’m sleeping
This is your death
Vanilla chocolate on your breath
You’re not dead you’re saying
I’m alive kicking and screaming
I can’t detect more than a smell
I’m too drunk to finish you
But when I wake up again
I’m goddam woke Im screaming
You have Vanilla Chocolate Breath
I smell you In your sleep
I dream you awake
I sleep on your sweet smell
Your sweet Vanilla Chocolate Breath
Comforts me when I’m sleeping
