BUILD A WALL AND CRIME WILL FALL
So basically continue to stall
While our kids continue to starve
The biggest killers have white skin but they still not behind bars
If they do get a sentence it’s shorter than a dwarf
Bills coming up to our neck like a scarf
And we’re told to be patient and let it run it’s course
But the suffering and hunger is something you don’t have to endorse
I miss those times we use to have
I want you back so bad
I wish we would stop this clash
To be real your new man is trash
That’s not intended to make you spazz
Just to say it looks like you downgraded
Or maybe I’m just the bitter ex
Or I’m saying he got less
You already know I was your best
But I guess it’s a reason I’m your ex
I’m stuck in my mind cause I seen a situation like this
So I kinda already know
Should I just drop the book and see how things go
Or hold it and see my dreams fold
This world is so cold
And I’m just trying to let you know
That your blood could be the coldest people you’ll ever know
Had to learn the hard way
I put my passion into it and watched it get shot down
I heard life come full circle, so I’m just waiting for my time to come back around
They say don’t trust friends and just let your blood surround
I’m feeling like a orphan because my friends seems like the only ones that’s down
Sometimes I wonder why I even speak
All they seem to hear is the depression
Don’t even notice I’m giving the guidelines to applying the pressure
Maybe I’m just the only one who gets the gesture
Never mind I can’t really worry about the backlash I’m just improving the texture
I’m just so mixed up in this mixture
Just worried about who down for the adventure
When I need to just go on the adventure
They will follow soon as the bills start falling
And the girls start drooling
I’m just flowing so my mind starts fooling
I’m just venting about a book that probably won’t see the light of day
Because I worry too much about who got faith in me
I just want people to learn from my mistakes
Never depend on others
Just work till the day you get discovered
If only I can get that through my thick skull
If only I knew my worth
I would have never been on that turf
I would have been right here getting everything I deserve
My own momma and poppa broke me down to my knees
I wish I didn’t take that plea
I wish I knew who I can be
I wish they knew who I can be
And that’s me
I should have fought to be me
I’m just venting about some days I’ll probably never see again
Times change
People change
Don’t be chained
To your past
I’m just venting about my past

Depression your back buddy
I knew it was only a matter of time
Before you had my mind wrapped in chains
My heart filled with pain
I can’t even complain
You gave me a 3-week break before you decided to come
I was starting to think you weren’t going to come
I guess you about to have me back feeling numb
As the days go by I think about the past days
Until my soul starts to feel like a bottomless pit
Then I start to have Thoughts about calling it quits
Until I just crawl into a ball
And just fall asleep
Then wake up and do it again
Disclaimer: Just one of them days.
Hey depression, I haven’t seen you in a while
I didn’t even think you still had my number to dial
I should’ve known you would come
You always seem to be there when I’m all alone
These words I let escape the pen is always the one that stops you from entering my dome
But I guess you built a new entry through my soul
I hope you just taking a stroll
Because I don’t want your true colors to unfold
Cause that’s when I start to mold
My heart gets cold
Just thinking of you taking back control
