VISION
My eyes are heavy
out here its dark, cold, and windy
here in the city
on the streets where there is no pity
makes you nearly lose your sanity
but there goes clarity
obstacles making it hard to see
what's right in front of me
I'm reaching for the epitome
while praying for an epiphany
Looks like I ain't getting any
but trust me, I'm getting plenty
Plenty of opportunities
Opportunities so glittery
Sparkling like infinite
I've got an affinity
for girls with big titties
But now I feel shitty
Oh well, giggity giggity!
But seriously...
I'm living dangerously
Writing poetry
that's sometimes inflammatory
That means people respond furiously
upset, frustrated, and act out angrily
Towards my rhymes that speak out politically
And also I speak religiously
about people and their hypocrisy
It's a shame they stress modesty
but fall short of solemnity
Then there is serenity
which should make girls practice chastity
but literally
when I speak it makes them drop their panties
I love religious girls, but some dress scantily
Whoops! Sorry ladies, there goes eternity!
I guess your dream of being heavenly
was just interrupted by my humanity.
I'll make it up to you, alrighty?
Let's get down to the nitty gritty
The world's so big you feel itty bitty
Let me make you feel monumentally
significant to everyone, and especially
to your friends and family
They're the only ones who count at the end of the day.
It's a hard knock life – that's reality!
What goes up, must come down, that's the law of gravity
but a return to your nativity
will help you realize the sensitivity
that the law of relativity
works if you're relatively
working to make a change in society
It's about relevancy
How relevant do you want to be?
Can you answer that honestly?
Honestly, I wish you took things more seriously
More seriously than me
when I was your age. You see
if you were me, at your age, then theoretically
you'd be immeasurably wealthy
because the wisdom I have now is inevitably
the secret to your success, if you'd just trust me
and listen. I'm trying to speak prophetically
in to your life. That's why I'm writing poetically
so you will consider what I say is true. But hypothetically
you need to put in to practice the philosophy
I'm imparting in your soul, you're solely
responsible for your own success in life. Basically,
you need to live life by the basics, it's the only way
to keep your head above water in this age and day
we are living in, but hey
do what you wanna do, but there's one more thing to say
life isn't so bad, if you take time out to pray
Pray with all the faith you've got, and never go astray
from the paths you've walked – you know the lay
of every foot step that guides you through the fray
Life is hard to live, but live it lively!
It has its up and downs, but live it excitedly!
Only you can choose whether your ending ends happily
so be happy, and try not to worry
or get through life in a hurry.
Your memory will grow blurry
if you don't take time to appreciate adversity
It's adversity that will make you a great personality
And your personality will take you far, maybe internationally
But really
in reality, to those of us who love you, you'll remain lovably
you. We, your friends, are here to make life more endurably
endurable when times get tough, and you're in trouble
Life is easier in doubles
Don't be afraid to fumble
We will catch you, as you trip and stumble
Hold my hand, it's ok to bumble
I bumbled several times, but now I'm humble
There's no room for pride, you've just got to jumble
all that pride and live life with no regrets
and live like there's no tomorrow!
