v1 they saw these hail mary passes these pacifists, who'd rather be passive and get their asses kicked laughed at us we back witta massive fist, joe-louis-sized for suicidal rivals who'd glue to pride for a foolish ride get them hands up stand up on seat, smash a bottle slipped the jagged edges in a bastard's melon then what follows is an escalated tussle of lacerated muscle bullet staccatos v2 for you we tether hectic stanzas to get a skeptic's hands up and though my pockets slimmer than your anorexic chances at advancement when your head is so expansive at your petty check advances we dig for heavy answers I slam a ring-ed fist into festive emerald lantern construct a verse of willful bless-ed banter to cleanse your septic cancer so learn you some better manners how put together grammars v3 one of the features of this creature is eagerness to defeat ya in each of the forms of media spit meteors in arenas and coliseums an d reach deep in my bag of seasonings sprinkling seeds of genius on the bleachers and seeing these parameciums evolve to evilly clawed equally raw with greedy maws eating people and all surrounding feasibly small pieces they can keep in their jaws

v1 if you wanna be a quitter than quit i won't stop you at all for dipping i get it, your spirits have dipped 'cause your mission isn't within you it isn't sincere you've submitted to fear fishing for compliments your confidence is missing it's clear i'm not here to be bestow it you gotta go and get it yourself if you wanna know that it is real you fishing for deals them big fish be eating you and lure too an indelible stain on the pure you be sure to close the door upon your exit first marvel on the titles i've contested gargle a pair of testes if you'd fold at the slightest sign of objection my watch only got time for the courageous watching behind my back within the battle is the bravest so we return the favors the weakest links in chains defeat the whole reason we entertain we speaking to enter brains and delight with these mics just to keep it simple and plain v2 .. before i go let the story show never frequented glory-holes or double dunked an oreo ..not within my skillset i ain't paid the bills yet no stability i ain't isolated the real threat ..maybe my lack of responsibility cements that the backs of my ears are still wet you do it for the meal check and bill flash to smash chicks like insects at picnics ya cain't even sniff a whiff of the buttermilk biscuits let alone ever sit up at the table wit me yo broke ass i'll break bread if you can break this 50 the secret's i'm broker and i got my whole savings with me could use a donation quickly your gators crispy you at random locations spiffy naysayers diss me but i get love from raver hippies to sailor gypsies to pagan pixies a hater's essence is fabricated n flimsy v3 young featherweights with heads full o steam and lesser names get metal rain and wrapped up in cellophane for telling names competitors gain leverage but their method is lame we train, to steady the aim bet it's shredding ya brain unluckily these suckas be claimin sucker free but pucker plus they'd rather duck and flee i'm going in, cover me you clumsily mismanage your companies trust in me these dummies uncomfortably rabble rouse at the top and spew that toxic brew they watch a few with myopic view, that's prolly what not to do we'll see if you gotta clue, when that tower topples on top of your microscopic crew, it's not philosophical it's the honest truth best believe it you know me the rep proceeded the pressure treated, accredited genius to whom you pledge allegiance so look a that king, you'll never be it and if you got me in your sights, you better squeeze it

v1 first contact our eyes lock God put me in the right spot tonight, watch I'll spark a conversation the things I found out I know she's of sound mind and body to pound out generous and humorous round out the traits, we'll lounge out, and dates around town, escapes it's fate, her crown's found above without doubt she's changing v2 her hugs are less tight the kisses are less fertile with love, so let's fight make up and sex right then text the next night reminiscing over lustful scratches and left bites but still I feel the comings of storms and sad sights I'm trying to laugh hard, to stifle the hidden cries she smiles, I feel high she's right there, she's fly with new eyes, she sees a real guy she will try v3 the spark in her eyes is lost the only recourse is law, high price divorce go to the source see the heart cold frost remorseless made some wrong choices paid the cost to be the boss the toll, consumes souls behold, the new road leap whole into the chasm below still searching for time where did it go? it changed the variables on our carousel headed to hell and there we go go go shorty, it's your birthday

you looking at a hit-and-run motorist no, i'm not heartless my motive is born from driving as a soloist through cities where the cobras is the loneliest which makes you paranoid and so afraid to pull over when there's soldiers in the streets making beats on the skulls of the drivers of the smoldering wreckage man , we must've dropped moral compasses nope, i didn't come for this v1 it was dark he was running in the intersection i wasn't drunk but, i was slumped it had been a second dropped my phone in between the seat you seen me reach looked up and seen a human body reach the peak in his eyes, the glimmer of life signs didn't reflect strings once connected to the soul been stripped and left dangling it's dangerous wherever streets intersect v2 see me posted downing potions at the hosted event I'm rollercoastin' on the sofa trying to hold in my liq overdosed, lost focus and dipped in snow drifiting lost control of the grip n mostly totaled the whip I awoke slow feeling like a locomotive had hit broken a rib and opened my lip, these selfish motorists keep rollin' by the ditch, where the Taurus had flipped thought I heard God's whispers and unfolded my fists and made a motion to split, can't die yet I got another bonus to get my throat singed, skin toasted a bit, airbag exploded and ripped in the smoke I'm convinced I saw the writing on the wall hadn't decoded the script, see Patron and the Cola don't mix ain't notice it but it's my onus to get, later on I found out the moment I split some knuckleheads unloaded some clips life's a cobra so we supposed to get bit

The giant slide is an actual existing thing that many Detroiters probably know very well. It resides on Belle Isle, an island-park in the Detroit River.


To utilize the giant slide, you have to wait in a line and climb a bunch of stairs. At some point in this process, you’re given an empty potato-sack. When it’s your turn, your put your body on that sack and you take a really quick and fun ride. Unlucky sliders who didn’t keep all limbs safely on the sack hold tightly to the memory of those fun-filled scars, even if those scars are now too small to perceive.


There’s a life-lesson in there somewhere. Maybe. I don’t know.

ask me for advice and i'll make a video about it: ILLingsAdvice@gmail.com
