Spoken word,
Life’s given me an opportunity, but this isn’t a chosen turn,
lately my mind has been giving me mixed feelings like a frozen burn,
I could’ve went out into the street taking lives, taking cars, push some weight, but I chose to learn,
Driven by my ambitions of Tailor’s suits, expensive cologne, and coats with furs,
But I came into this world salty as a motherfucker, like an ocean birth,
Green grass, rose petals, natural water, and pine trees,
It seems like nowadays, these scenes are only available in my dreams,
I haven’t been the same since my godmother died on the IVs,
Now it’s a fantastic struggle between life and my peace,
It seems like things were simpler back when we was kids with peanut butter sandwiches and hi-C’s,
Tom Ford creative potions,
Tobacco, ouds, woods, bergamot, and roses,
Ever since I was a kid, I put all my million dollar ideas on yellow post its,
To this day, I still have visions of killing myself, but nobody knows it,
Because some days I wake up king of the world, and some days I wake up feeling hopeless,
I thought of hundreds of ways to dedicate this album to my dead friends and family, so what better than a poem,
Lil, Brian, John, Jose, Jerry, Kevin, Patrick, Tony, Abuela, and all the rest I do it all fo em,
I swear they would make you all feel like you was on top of the world if you would have got to know em,
Every time I wake up all I think about is losing myself and who I’ve lost,
My revenge against the people in my past, and what it cost,
Not knowing in the end it’d be myself I never knew I’d lost,
And now all I do is try to compensate with all the fancy shit I bought,
I dedicate this one to my mom,
I thought things would heal if we just gave it time,
Certain things you said about me when I was a kid that crossed the line,
I told you I forgave, but it was forgiveness I couldn’t find,
Now you say you want to leave, now it’s forever scarred up in my mind,
I guess I can’t change how you feel,
I lost one mother already, so I guess losing you was also part of the deal,
I know you wanted more,
So I supposed it’s time for me to let you got and let you heal,
I forgive you.
This one is dedicated to anyone who doesn’t want to be here anymore,
I too have been there, shedding tears like waterfalls and breakdowns upon the floor,
When you feel like living life is a chore, you want to give, but you poor, want to run away but you’re sore, you’re scarred to your core, I promise you at the end of the tunnel, that there’s more!
