Want to Know What I Got?


Bee

Beep

Bop

Buttons and keys Pop

Sounds Don’t Stop

Like or Not

Walk little or Lot

The ears you got

Show the sounds don’t stop

 

Each tells another story

Does a lot of talk

As you try to walk

“The ears you got are not a lot”

“They are NOT A LOT”

“Do you hear me?”

I said “DO YOU HEAR ME?”

Probably not

With those worthless ears you don’t got

 

You keep up your walk

Ignoring a lot

All the things that say I don’t got

Fight and fought

Many think they don’t got

Cause they listen a lot

 

Every time you’ve lost

They break the heart you’ve got

And you think of everything you are not

 

Everything that I am not

 

 

 

But Halt

 

They break the heart you have that they have not

A heart that beats

A mind that thinks

A soul that weeps

As they tell you what you don’t got

 

You do got.

There is no battle to be fought

All the noise just needs to stop

It needs to STOP

I said “It needs to STOP”

 

 

You tell them what you have that they have not

A heart that beats

A mind that thinks

A soul that treats

Eyes to see

Lungs to breath

Hands to give in need

Legs to leave

 

Legs to leave.
