What if we got it all backwards and
life is death
& we don’t start really living until breathing
our last breathe?
 
Satisfaction’s disgruntling,
feeling good’s a facade.
 Hard is truly soft and
soft actually hard.
 
Would truth be the lie and
lies the truth?
Suppose if aging was actually
how we kept our youth.

Holding on is
letting go.
Saying yes is
saying no.
Something new was the same old rigmarole.

I Love you was I hate your f-in guts.
You look really nice
was code for
look at that fat butt.

What if being educated meant you were
brainless as air.
I'm so concerned for you
translated to
I just don't care.

"Would you like another helping of turkey & stuffing Pops"?
Deciphered,
he looks about 16 weeks
I hope soon he stops!

Give props when you really want to
slap the back of their head.

I'm gonna miss him, but inside thinking
"Ooh I'm glad that bastards dead.

Reality is we often say what we don't mean.
Masking the truth for altruistic reasons
to ulterior motivated schemes.

Saying goes the truth hurts.
The truth will set you free.
A lot of people I've known spell truth
L - I - E.
To forgive is hard
for some to deceive is so easy
"Unless I have it my way, your whole day will be greasy".

That's cheesy and you should truly be ashamed.
You know who you are don't even need to be named.
Wielding a cold stare and unapproachable glare.
Mean mugging people like a bipolar grizzly bear.

Get a grip of what sanity you have left and hold tight.
Let the trip towards the good man you'll be finally take flight.
Ladies be the woman that your mom always hoped.
Don't get yourself in to deep with these cowboys & their ropes.

They'll leave you dangling if you give it up to soon.
Bragging to their friends of how he made you swoon.
Turn the page on that chapter and you will find laughter.
Knowing yourself is the first step to becoming your own master.

Peace comes to the heart after nursing your hurting,
doing a little bit of self examination & soul searching.
Facing the future with confidence, positivity as well earnest.
Don't let haters get close enough to even scratch your surface.

If they can't respect your space they're just worthless.
It's like swimming in the sewer wearing your church best.
I'm very up front so folks will never have to guess.
Take me or leave me be damned or be Blessed.
