Carry the name


Like a sword and shield

protecting my pride

I ride, I ride, I ride,

this is the cost to be a boss

now I think of where I came from

and the work that was put in

what lead to all my triumph and bought me to all my outcomes

To find myself

I had to get lost in my thoughts

write what was what

when all was a scramble,

I found life in all the rumble

the shakes of my hand

tremble with each press of the keys

for my emotion is high

like tides in the ocean,

like an addict oding.

I carry my name like a part of a breeze

connected to a wind and flowing with a howel

you can hear work, work of grind stone,

of sleepness nights and caffeine mornings

I get it when self improvement means self destructions

meaning I embodied a phoenix on the raise.

to make a play for c notes and stacks

good or bad I carry my name,

the blood in my vein,

the decision to bare the pain

when we lost pieces

I change the games

I carry the name, I carry the name, 

like blood in my veins,

pumping dope, I stay dope

something official with no honor comes no hope 

I mean what you see is your you

fighting a mirror you

only to defeat the inner you

get its all in a dream

bring it with you how ever it takes.

you carry the name until you realize the name carries you
