Fabricated Feelings


listen to the news reports from daily periodicals...
stories so strange you would have thought them mythological
not a tale of unicorns and rainbows
but tales of hatred .. love lost and grimey foes
it makes you wonder why people want to take you under
even if it was their own blunder..
my life has taken more twists that a screw top
it switched up from hip hop to a mosh pit like kid rock
hard for me to make things seem easy...
my drama starts soon as i turn the tv to mtv
are these people gonna grieve when i leave...
i dont believe..
cause they are the only problem that i cant solve for me
from a to z and back thru the letters again
26  letters and 26 different days of the month
and you wonder why i get angry and have to do these stunts
if my life was all i had and you took 2/3
that means my possession are limited... and balance of power has been curbed
my backs against the wall... something to lean on if i fall.. backwards is the plan.. but tall i have to stand
they keep pissing me off trying to hit the mark
dont frustrate yourself.. trying to drown a shark
sometimes i take a blunt to the head..
thinking about past differences and problems instead of the solutions ahead
is it my destiny to end up in the streets dead, a chalk outline with fringes stained red

when the real facts hit the table.....
i wont be able….
to cover up my past of corruption and con-artistry
it’s so hard for me to take anything and make it into a positive...
see why its hard for my life to be lived
stability.. haven’t had it since the age of 3 ..
cant even tell you the last time that i had to plea... for mercy...
from this life that it cursed me..
the ball goes round and wont stop till its in the hearse with me
send a prayer out to the high and mighty .. tell him that his son is on this earth fighting.. digging into the earth to gain his root in society..
but you and i see that its the light that i want to find me
shadows and shady hallways are what keeps calling...
depressing settings painted on the canvas for me
