Please offer genuine feedback, good or bad. I’m just starting to branch out into my writing... xD Time to Get a Clue Monday, August 20,

Up and Down,

Man...

That’s all my life has ever been...

Is just up and down...

BUT STILL

When you see me walkin

I aint walking with my head down

Nah, I’ve got my head held high

My eyes are always aimed at the sky

Especially at night

When I hit the green

Letting my mind take flight

Up past Mars

Through the nameless stars

Shit, everybody is asking me where I get my might

Brah, ‘God’ gave me true sight

So I can win the fight

And get up out of this world I call a zoo

So listen to these words and you might get a clue

How to play this game we call life

Cause guess WHAT???

Everybody’s got strife

It’s not how hard you get hit

It’s how fast you get back up

Screaming FUCK YOU BITCH

It’s ok to fall

Just don’t unpack and crawl by

You might live, but your soul will die

Its not a sin to cry

And if you think these words are lies

Shit, you’ll be begging for money while everyone just walks on bye

You gotta learn to spread your wings and fly

UP PAST MARS

THROUGH THE NAMELESS STARS

Y’all should see the beauty in this galaxy of ours

But nah, you’re more worried about that new phone

The one so expensive you took out a loan

When you could have taken that money and flown

Out of the depressed state your in

And y’all wonder how I do nothing but win

It’s only because I’ve learned not to condemn myself for my sins

Wake up and fight

Wake up and see the light

Realize that it’s only a simply plight

To change your perceptions

It’s easy to make those corrections

All you need is to take those daily reflections and put them to use

How do you think I learned to control my centimeter fuse?

Sometimes I think my faith is misused

Just like his was in the Jews

But what do you care?

You have your juice to drink

To bad that needle can’t make you think

Can’t make you right

Shits a temporary fix to a permanent problem

But y’all to blind to see it happenin

All the while y’all think I’m here rappin

Dumb mother fuckers

Must of come from a Lot Lizard and her trucker

Your misplaced faith just makes me pucker

All the while your so happy you got to fuck her

Too bad B.C. aint Vegas

That disease wont leave you shameless

So stand up and scream “FUCK YOU WORLD I CAN TAKE THIS”

And watch how quick those demons become faceless

I pray you take this as truth

I’m tired of seeing everyone walking around like we live in a same doped out sleuth

Don’t even know what sleuth means do ya Coop?

It’s alight, I teach kids to be couth

They seem wiser in their youth than you or I

So why don’t I just lay down and decay?

Because my bounce-back skills have no delay

And STILL

No one is listening to a word I say

Just living life day by day

Working yourself to the bone with no time to play

No skills to hone

No light to be shone

GET THE FUCK UP

Run yo ass out of this zoo

And one day you’ll get to come back and hear all these monkeys asking

“What did you do?

Who The Fuck Are You?”

And you’ll answer proudly,

I’m not a bitch as monkey behind bars pouting

Shit you might even learn to love speaking like a hick always greeting the pigs like “Hey Howdy”

For once you’ll have no anxiety

Talking to those who held you down with piety

Being one of us

Esteemed so highly

I’ll be waiting silently for my brothers and sisters

And after the long journey you’ll learn to love those blisters

Those scars

They’re proof you aint a zebra behind locked bars

Humbly saying I earned my scars

And realizing that life is more than just fast cars

I pray hard

That you get the truth from this lame ass bard

When that day comes

Aww Yea

You’re going to look back and say...

“Shhhiiittttt, that wasn’t so hard after all,

I guess you were right,

all I had to do was stand up after my fall

and show the world I know what it means to brawl”

On that day, I’ll be waiting to cover your nakedness in a shawl

Because you had the strength to stand up,

The courage to not live life in a crawl

And we’ll stand above all

Picking and choosing which door we go through down this long hall

Just don’t forget to turn around and give a hand to those that fall

And maybe, just maybe

We can fix this world destroyed by Katy

Laughing with each other,

Joyously thanking the love of our brothers

That kept us from becoming just another statistic

But fuck it,

If you don’t get what I’m laying

It’s because your a parasitic tic

Living life throwing a fit

While all those have ascended ditch you like a popped zit

Exclaiming “we don’t need the negativity of some two-faced bitch”

All because you read and listened to my shitty poem

One day you’ll be reminiscing

One day you’ll catch yourself whispering

“Thankfully I got to know ’im

His rant saved my life

And I’m no longer bothered by life’s strife”
