about

i think i wrote this the day before my birthday in 2017. i was trying to make myself rap and record at faster tempos that i'd usually prefer. i didn't quite get it where i wanted it but it's fine. i like some of the lines in this a lot.

lyrics

your most, staunch protections easily circumvented
a simple matter of determining your earthly limits 

we see through the subterfuge and nerdy gimmicks
your history's a trail of false starts and nervous pivots 

you hit the purple, grimace
eating a burger, winded
mental circuits bent none of this will serve your interests 

this sell sword
been shelved more than retail store chores
shoulda been working on my rewards score or

i shoulda gorged more 
dealt wit emotions daily
and maybe if you visited yours more

you wouldn't have been salty seven years and four score
 having lore wores with self proclaimed war lords over your poor rapport .
never ignore the force nor, those showing more remorse 
.peace to all the great thinkers who werepoor at sports

it's par for the course hey hey we are the monkeys with torch
who also scorched the porchflooring a Porsche bro bro

this cart is before the horse 
cuz it got, horses under hood plus a GPS
no such thing as an easy test  
your life is, like milk spilled in a CVS
or a diarrhea soaked greasy mess we the best 
at it,
without khaled without malice
i admit to pushing tedious routes thru uneasiness
 
making smarter moves when you see me less 
that's the hallmark ofguarding the all-spark no such thing as a small part





it rarely took a lot more than rhythms for me to leave an inordinate amount of gory victims
with sword incisions


made a  slow stab so , crabs don't, grab at the riches in my vocab
resulting in prose poorly written
 string me along wit all the meaningless songs
n yet wit all them dangling threads 
I'm pretty sure you'd still bore a kitten

he God of porcelain is accepting his offerings often
we head locking a hydra
lopping the tentacles off em 
or giving orders from the roof of an art base
........or in the coupe in a car chase
while losing pursuers who wanna scoop us up n leave us in the nude in a dark space
find me watching movies at park place 
dissecting cinema understanding the angles 
n what i plan to untangle n punish damage n strangle 

are harbingers of loss fear doubt
i'm one wit da angels 
full of grace cuz
i'm grateful 
still
