KINGS & ROOKS

Call me what you will

Yeah so what

I'm mentally ill

A less than Zero

A far cry from a hero

Go ahead

wish me dead

Take my freakin head

You best believe

I'll die with a smile

Knowin' My God

My friend

beyond the end

Just took awhile

to turn the dial

Say what you will

From hittin' them books

One day maybe soon

It's my blood you'll spill

From the way It looks

I know the devil

That lives in

Kings and Rooks

Its me they wanna kill

for letting them know

their no better than

a bunch of crooks

You best believe

I have no need

To twist a tale

Made to deceive

Leading another

brother to wail

and grieve

I hit the vein

Went insane

Then gave God the pain

Now for me to die is gain

So I sit in a pit

doing strange shit

An aged man

true grit

feelin like a little nit

Ready to through a fit

I was given a

second birth

To take me

from this Earth

To a place far beyond

for what it's worth

You see a tiny seed

was planted

Call it imaginary

That's granted

only slightly slanted

By a good hand

the seed was sown

To bare fruits

Like works of art

By this seed my mind

would be blown

Was somethin'

I knew down

In my boots

from the start

Now the seed

has grown

healthy roots

down in my heart

So tare me up

Poison my cup

I cannot deny

I tell you know lie

Dyin' for another

Is a death of great honor

Yet it's me you despise

To my surprise

Its all because

I'm blessed

And very

seldom stressed

Excited I stand

Call me grand

Unlike many

I've experienced

the Supernatural

and found it

to be factual

I'm willin' to bet

God is love

I'm willin' to say

He paid my debt

By descendin'

from above

and becomin'

a man

that gave a shit

When a push

Came to a shove

On this I'm set

Knowin' he taught me

The wisdom

of the serpent

and the gentleness

of the dove

Go ahead

Put a bullet in my head

For what's been said

A front row seat

Is somethin

Nothin can beat

When it comes to

Sittin

Under what

The Most High is

Spittin

While he's rockin' out

On the throne

Throughin' some

Old preacher a bone

By sharin'

all that's needed

to be known
