I opened an email today. I was told of how I must look "Good" in order to be "Taken Seriously" or "If People wish to Even Take You At All."
Like David Copperfield, The Caged Tiger,  and The Joker.
Placed in "One Big Finale."  The "Entertainment" of this "Show" had started.
The Joker was not like all the rest. He became evil by being outcast,since youth, into adulthood; for scars that were not of his own  doing.
He decided to "Pay Back" The "Normals" in one big "Contest to Win The right To Live and Not for the Tiger to have your "Pretty Little Faces to Maw."
David Copperfield thought he could Escape and to "Save everyone's day" "From the scared up ugly which had made "His own choice to become Evil."
As the judges took their seats, the contest was about to begin.
A puff of smoke, some mirrored tricks, and a flashed destraction and David thought he was "Home Free."
Grabbing for the form in the clouds he thought was the "Joker," he grasped for the capture.
"Poor Magic Boy!" - The Joker sneered as he took his place at the start. To grab some finally deserved spot light and a chance to **** an "Animal with Color that isn't Very Hard to Use for David's Adventures."
Whipping at the beast and working in a wooden chair, finally the Tiger Spoke Out.
"Why must you Human's Use me as a prop? A
Defined Addition as People's Property?"
"Why So Serious? You've got your fame, as Magic Boy's Lackey!"
Swiping the Joker to the ground with one strong whip of his front left paw, he knocked out the Joker, but, he never killed him.
Busting out the door, running for the Jungle.
Words were understood as the "Prop Animal" ran for his freedom.
"What makes me different, Makes Me Strong. I survive not only because of my 'Animal Survival Instincts,' however, the faith and determination to fight for my rights  to be true to who and what I am and to be free."
"Free to  rule My Own Earned thrown in my Rule in my very own  Kingdom."

If you don't by know as of yet whom
I refer to as __,
you will soon enuf;

It is rare that I can go there so well, even on occasion for the destructive,
5th dimensional gifts running backwards, Houdini by grave doing back-flips,
for along with the Heart's of David Copperfield types wanting to know how,
can we pick up a few of these tricks, in other lifetimes my type picked up many,
places along of course through Kemet's of Egypt, and not so far back but,
is where I had to go on the endless effort of trying to find the magical child,
already gone by first of memories and I thought woot hoot I could juggle,
the woes of humanity or inhumanity as I see know, you know by;

justification of I don't see any more or less innocence or guilt,
round here but if there is such a great need when I saw it,
and figged I cud get through it, it was love for what else,
could there be and I do, be and fill so much very need;

but X'yzz....ah 'um once there was Shakespeare,
an era wrapping up by befalling heads wanting bread,
of whom exclaimed well if those are their terms and conditions,
'Let'em eat cake' ergo and or our newer foundations; but as far as,
I knew it and I wondered and pondered how why wherefore before,
someone who seems projective of who dare be Queen or Princess,
more than aristocratic, the vine of genetics, KISS keep it simple silly,
why war for this nonsensical stuff;

it's not the decadent decedent's,
but off Divine Spirit;

well money power sure can keep well hidden powers and you can,
hmmm get along for a spell but here a spell there a spell with each castle,
Humpty Dumpty oh well;

but now again is the Globe again along with Life,
the stage we are cast upon truly;

it's time for our own era's Renascence;

but last I knew them truly with all gifts 5th dimensional they and their darkly companions,
too now here they are onto years unmentionable, still can't honor it and I guess they,
just want death, not more than one way about it, they will try to out wait and hate;

hahaha,
but by me I've taught them all they know and no matter who they turn against me,
10k in a court room dey'd not dare a step by one in however remember Howard Hughes,
I would say I do always love and though too I am the one and only and best friend indeed,
even though I know I am the enemy, no matter what they say believe think and even feel,
but I love to play nice like thrice no mines about it,
giving all overly good information,
fairer than fair warnings;

they gather darkly more into about their hypnotic spells castings, kinda crazy all dead set against me, when last to save their own ***'s, there were some identity issues and class type things but they were, known as good in the end and yet we have yet again to begin;

'dey don't know themselves not even by here now this lifetime alone,
black art denialists wooing all about with sugary treaty's they bark bark,
but if they bit the wrong cat here to hard their teeth would fall out;

yet and the roots seeded here now for the better part of the show with new,
edit-eers producers rolling arts in, I know, I will, I can, I see these things always,
before they appear and blood bearing beings near on, ain't willing give or take,
some where and the billions of years the dust rocks and trees already are on;

all kinds of well you know, what we've got going round now along with a time,
to come from the woods of our hidings and out from the fear to be gods birth right,
citizens we played a lot of silly games of peeka boo pretend,
ain't heaven ain't here the list is long,
we know all to well

lord
turn our hearts into shields
let freedom liberty ring
when
justice step
upon
the battlefield again
oh lord
when
the
lamp of courage glow
and
sparkle beyond
the
green hills of Copperfield
and
there
we shall know

This not quite the underground, but still a strange corridor-
Scurrying in skirts and argyle and
Two-piece research paper suits.
They get together in the new Underground, they
Smoke old memories and sit in a stoner semicircle
To listen to old attendance records.

Humming the anecdotal lark, a man with a  prim tie
Rises and steps into the middle to slam. Over the deafening
Hookah comes David Copperfield.
Hello Voltaire, have you brought your
Reading glasses? The secret anatomies
Held in the inked atomies

Are all we come for. Let us in on this electric
Canvas. Let us paint out plots of plots that
All of us have known,
Around and underneath, and speak out our
Crayon set opinions, to tell the dim-eyed boys and girls
About in detail later. Ooh, say eight o’clock?

Laughter
as we watch our comedies on
nbc nightly tuesdays
Ben and kate
two broke girls
what the ****
As a secret slaughter goes on
And the genocide of a million minds
happens without us evening knowing what's going on
we laugh and we laugh
as our children get fater
our oceans get dirtier with foriegn oil
our earth aches in pain
our tv keeps distracting us
as the sun is waiting to explode
I hope a solar storm happens
so it knocks out every network
so our minds are free
and then maybe we will look outside our window again
maybe then we will see what is truly going on
the true terroism is just a click away
Fox news and media flaunting there depression pills
and the main predator is these pharmaceutical companies
telling us were sick and need help
so we rush to get the fix
when really its a sick twisted david copperfield trick
but whatever
let's keep watching 30 rock and snl
as our lives slowly fall into a hell
a living hell
a living comedy
what a disgrace
what a waste
take a look in your community
poverty is next door
its funny how we think were so safe
in america were like a mouse in a maze
cept there is no exit
were trapped
were trapped
not me I free my mind
and spread the word
threw words and writes
because if anything
Ill make this right
ill carry on the fight
ill make it right
and ill open that door
to shine light into this blind folded world
Jordan Robertson Jan 2014
Broken thoughts, Broken promises.
I remember you promised you'd be there.
The toxic waste
That leaks from your heart and mind
Poisons my remaining self-worth.
My sense of self validity
Vanishes.
Like a Copperfield canary.
You were my other half.
Now my circle of trust
Is simply an open parenthesis
oh how dreams don't come true
you sighed deeply into the night

looking at me like some sort of resolution had arrived
i was not there to wash away the life you had known
i chose to make life better for each of us

that was not going to happen

my life plan was to live
your life plan was already in shambles

there was no blue print
no scale model
just ideals

long dreamt ideals of who i should have been for you
you said i lied to you
that you were disillusioned with the idea of who i was

am i Copperfield?
there were no smoke or mirrors
only your addiction and vanity

Houdini?
i never tried to escape
into the countless bottles that accumulated

Blackstone?
i only tried to put you back together
every day after you tried to tear yourself and us apart

the magic was all around us and some days you even saw it
most nights you cut right through it

if i was your illusion
then you became the analogy

you might be my 1 great love
but you will never be a mistake

nothing hurt more than the words in your eyes

you said you became poison
was i the catalyst to that transformation

there is talk of mole hills now

then you spoke of our dreams

i even made the purchase
you finally broke me

there you were
moving brightly down civilized lane
basking in the glow of someones technicolor dream
was it even yours?

you finally sold it to me and here i sit
thinking of all those dreams

i
never
dreamt

missing things only you could have fed me


i have a mirror now
and i find myself looking

you tried to fill the ever growing void deep in me

i failed you

because the only things that kept me going
were the things you hated most

i feel the void and i feed the void
but it is sated because it is me
not something coerced into belief
neither is it a curse to which i was bequeathed

the void was here before you
the void will live beyond me
i will live before it takes me
  
yet as i go about those days
etched on the back of hand
will be the broken vision
of that life plan

These haters,
At best demoniators, im the numerator, cash capers,
Make girls catch the vapors,

Nineteen sixty four, my girl its my world,
Let the ball of confusion swirl,
Off my finger tips, see how many can hit with the hallow tips,
Catchin' a death grip from the words, off my lip,
Ya know i keeps a fat spliff, like Eazy, to Bone thugs and harmony,
Say yall harmonizin',
But just fantazin, let my vocals to the anayzlin, suckas aint wise and,
Kin to Solomon,
Many wives lived many lives, through ****** ******* and fies,
As time flys, and the many pies,
That baked in rhe oven, tryna up my grubbin', minus the lovin,
Listen well, the stories never fail,
Yo yosef will always prevail,





Pre-ignite the pyrex, my flows tighter than latex,
Say yall aint feelin' this so next,
Off the hit list, try to throw in ya diss, and I'll just take a ****,
Off the Hennessy i kissed, dismissed, the critics,
Spittin' gimmicks and mimics,
Dont even add up,
As i lay low in the cut, all my real brothers know what's up,
Its all love, caught the flash from up above,
Yo it be god's son, racking in the doves,
Clear the tears off they eyes, now Prince gave me the wise,
Now im the master, making slaves what a disaster,
To the record companies, tryna **** me after,
I turn into Iceberg, **** throwing up the bird, and what ya heard,
My soul blacker than a terd,
And slicks gettin' serves,
Fools shootin' but aint gotta lotta nervs,
I must be absurd, cuz i take blunts stash with mad herbs,
Blue lily power my devour, rhymes off the top every hour,
Dont need a rehearsal, **** going commercial, make my own expos,
Shut down the doors,

Continue gettin' mail, make ya melons swell, time movin' like a snail,

Without the flash,

Without the practice, my lyrics soak up ya soul like a cactus,
Who could out mack this,
Yo when my bullet splits, it no shell, i wont fail,
Yo big Yosef shall prevail

I might not be God.
But I have ways to give you blessings.
I can make your wish come truth.

Sure there are limits.
Especially if they are dealing with death.
But anything else.
I can make your dreams come true.

No, I'm not David Copperfield or Houdini.
But I do deal in their form of reality.
Where we twist things around to appear real?
I can make your wish come true.

If it love you need.
Then call on me.
If it dreams of truth.
Then come my way.
I got the strength to make changes.

Yo I told yall once more, been braced for war, even the score,
Shots like in da battlefield, high rising feel,  move like an eel, with the steel,
****** face from the Copperfield, let's keep it real, I appeal,
To the masses, check the horror glasses, hits beyond Classics
Cassius, disastrous, yo I'm straight hazardous, flows serious,
Haters tryna serve us, never nervous, keep a maxed out surplus,
Plus I got girls on the bang bus, who could rush us, out touch us,
Yo, I'm flipping birds without touching skies, stay wise,
Vigilant true gangsta militant, stay beyond magnificent,
Got a chase for money Manhattan, see what's happening,
Stay cappin', third ward coast rappin', so quit ya yappin',
Flappin' about nia this is the souf, so watch where ya peck ya mouf,
Haters fronting, and stunting, ain't no future in it, steam out Bennets,
Matrix with the blades, creamed out escalade, soufside fade,
Razor blades, sitting on the side of my gums,under my teef,
Shine up the christ reef, sit like an indian as chef, stress relief,
I'll leave ya stiffer and deader, than the winter leaf, peasants,
Become deaths residence, my gun distance, stay with the quickness,
Answers with the Iversons, yo who's liver sons, step to the don
Yo it's big pun, capital punishment, break the establishment,
Suckas got me bent, never been pent, to a magazine green,
Leaves I fiend, to keep my thoughts clean, no evil supreme,
Catch the dream, shakes from the microphone Hakeem,
Aim at ya peen, see what I mean, scope with the laser beam,
It seems dreams, are shallow I broke the battle, snitches tattle
I make like a snake and rattle, wait for bite pitch the might,
Dolomite any girls without using fright, game latex tight,
Iight, yosef only telling ya truth,no lies see the biblical eyes,
Close with the evil disguise, broke the celibate ties sighs,
Giving by the godly oddly shape my ology, it's my psychology,
Cant stop wont stop, til I'm the cold yard top, giving drops,
Unexpected, ya unprotected once I was resurrected, disconnected,
Off the face of the earth, my birth I knew my infinite worth,
Stay rowdy puff the green, make it cloudy, like chicks bowdy
Howdy howdy, word to this white henny good and plenty,
Sticks to stones break bones, word to the Houdini clones,
Magic I own, phone home sucka you dead amongst the battle zone,

Whaaaaaat!!

one's security with insecurity is a crippled crutch of illusion

forgive me, i'm too terrified to expound

i fear waking up in this land of confusion

explaining away misery is an unforgettable sound

If you don't by know as of yet whom I refer to as X'yzzzzzzzzzleeeping, you will soon enuf; is rare that I can go there so well even on occasion for the destruction; 5th dimensional gifts running backwards Houdini by grave doing back-flips for along with the Heart's of David Copperfield types wanting to know how can we pick up a few of these tricks, in other lifetimes my type pick up many places along of course through Kemet's of Egypt, and not so far back but is where I had to go on the endless effort of trying to find the magical child already gone by first of memories and I thought woot hoot I could juggle the woes oh humanity or inhumanity as I see know you know by justification of I don't see any more or less innocence or guilt round here but if there such a great need I when I saw it and figged I cud get through it it was love for wat else could there be and I do be and fill so much very need; but X'yzz....ah 'um once there was Shakespeare an era wrapping up by befalling heads wanting bread of whom exclaimed well if those are their terms and conditions 'Let'em eat cake' ergo and or our newer foundations; but as far as I knew it and I wondered and pondered how why wherefore before someone who seems projections of who dare be Queen or Princess, more than aristocratic the vine of genetics KISS keep it simple silly why war for this nonsensical stuff; it's not the decadent decedent's but off Divine Spirit; well money power sure can keep well hidden powers and you can hmmm get along for a spell but here a spell there a spell with each castle Humpty Dumpty oh well; but now again is the Globe again along with Life the stage we are cast upon truly; and it's time for our own era's Renascence; but last I knew her truly with all gifts 5th dimensional her and her darkly companion too now here they are onto 22 years and still you can't honor it and I guess they just want spouses dead not more than one way 'bout it they are try to out wait and hate me; hahaha but by me I've taught them all they and know matter who they turn against me 10k in a court room dey'd not dare a step by one however remember Howard Hughes I'd say I always love and  though too I am your one and only and best friend indeed even I know I am your enemy, no matter what you say believe think and even feel, but I love to play nice like thrice no mines about it and give all overly good information and fairer than fair warnings; and they gather darkly more about into their hypnotic spells castings, kinda crazy all dead set against me when last to save their own as'ses the're were some identity issues and class type things but they were known as good in the end and yet we ajve yet again to begin; 'dey don'y know themselves not even by here now this lifetime alone, black art denialists wooing all about with sugary treaty's they bark bark but if they bit hte wrong cat here to hard their teeth would fall out; yet and the roots seeded here now for the better part of the show with new edit-eers producers rolling arts in I know I will I can I see these things always before they appear and blood bearing beings near on ain't willing give or take some where and billions of years the dust rocks and trees already are on; and all kinds of well you know  what we've got going round now along with a time to come from the woods of our hidings and out from the fear to be gods birth right citizen we played a lot of silly games of peeka boo pretend ain't heaven ain't here the list is long we know all to well

I  am
a soaking secret at best,
Drenched in affliction
I am
a ghost gripping your shadows,
Hunting for the sun
All the while
You are
a voyager
Seeking hands under tables,
Locked doors,
Alleyways,
Elevators,
Vague descriptions and
Protective platonic stances
You are
a true modern day Columbus,
You find me, a flat dimension of self.
You are
an alluring Copperfield,
Hiding my declarative "no's" under hats
and turning them into whispered "yes's"
Your audience in awe
Unaware of what they are actually applauding

You are
sawed in half
"This can be enough," I tell myself

It isn't.
We living in the times, of demons breeding, new ***** for seasoning,
No rhymes of reasoning, I sense a case of cold death breathing,
Amongst the curse lands, snake with bands, tryna buy every island,
But earth ain't for sale, see my thoughts failed, where reality sailed,
So many frail, scared to let their souls outta jail, this ain't another fairytale,
How many doing Gods will, I hold my sword, high prepared to ****,
Vengeance, for my past peers, shedding tears at the Capitol Hill,
Them lizards cant feel, no pain only blood and war, equals more gain,
And I done came, from rags to ***** riches, avoided the sin of stitches,
Switches, I lay to keep my thoughts on, once I become Darkseid, I sight on,
The easiest target to write on, put heads on Shaolin gongs, ring the alarms,
Snake a charm watch the belly dances, of sirens form, swarm of harms,
I stay close to the ghost farms, eyes of a lighted shadow, fifty foot halos,
Squaring every angle, brothers of Hades and Raphael, doing spiritual fills,
Im rodney, turn dangerous in these fields, harder than a blue bill,
Born in the land fills, where all the lands is fill, with hate of blood spills,
Cursed by my own will, how can I be saved, if I'm playing like Copperfield,
Submerged my thoughts, into another dimensions, locked in suspension,
Everybody turned Christian, from a rotted planned expedition,
I felt wisdom peeped in, chipping off the scholastics of Solomon,
Cant be born again, into an earthly human, if I'm already born,
My only next birth, is out of this earth, grazing the multi universe,
Taking it back way back when we used to rep black
Push back caps snaps jersey spitting cold raps
Corner blocks hustler fiends guns drug smugglers
I'm just a juggler tryna weigh my options
And miss the captions of a rerun the news run
Chaos laid daily **** its dark even when its
Sunny outside homicide cries as a soul searches the sky
I'm not fly guy not from Bedstuy but I put stys
To haters eyes double your visualize
Break the ties fools building empires I demise
Im the emperor y'all inferior bow to your superior
Link with Nas Escobar real ****** puff cigars
While y'all punks puffin' cigarettes I lay bars ya won't forget
Super threat a cold with my Cannon set
I'm Htown bound this is my sound fools drown
Tryna hang with the flow my pistol love to show
Another sucka mislead over the spread bread
But all he got was bullets that fed into his head
You scared **** right he fled made a jump for the feds
I play my skills low so check the smoke I blow
I disappear reappear my steel Copperfield
Makes hataz run out the atmosphere
Here me clear my dear I have no fear
God gave me his speer cuz I'm **** near
On the edge of death I playwright the black Shakespeare


Aiyo I lay paragraphs that make ya head hurt
Make a woman squirt yo that's Gods work
I'm Noah I'll show ya an Arc my flows art
Michaelango with these chrome pistols
Paintin' ya facials to a mural blood on the ceiling
The lyrics is penicillin give chumps a fillin'
This is just a low dose of ******* ritalin
We knock out middle men break the connects within'
Sniff drugs from Peruvian made me born again
Naw I'm just kidding put in my bidding
Haters be listening but no ears appealing
Scared of the massacre witnessing
I'm bringin' that real hip hop **** extended clips
That'll make ya hip hop **** becoming a crip
Leaking blood now that's gang banging ****
Sips of Hennessy above the fifth spirits lift
My mind body as well as soul unfold the scrolls
A demon intervention my ambition switching
Position so I can hit the vocals on tracks
It ain't about paper stacks the man in black
I'm K with the K putting ending add another K
That's Three Ks triple ****** lyrical burglar
But can't lock these bars up I'm corrupt
Fools spitting the same ol stuff shut up
And stop tryna act tough before you get *****....
Destination soldiers holding boulders
Colder bullets causin' tap dancers
Prancer cant go against a gun romancer
Chance ya bets black rap chancellor
****** war student stay beyind prudent
Laying the trident flows posideon
Over the airwaves brains began to graze
Summer time was made in the winter
Off the gun line kosovo rhymes en Fuego
El ***** swinging pistols with a cup of joe
Slow mentals open doors of hell pours
Church is the earth pores bloods explore
All over across the lands prices high demand
Stock numbers most folks love slumber
Dead walking deep wide awake but sleep
Braille to the instincts that creep weap
Once the wrath has begun word to Dogons
Slayin' corporate dragons from another eon
Let's talk gangsta **** prison Monopoly
Watching how the cops be watching thee
Living under the gods spell wicked cartel
I wasn't made to sell nor post bail
Only way im free is be in a casket jail well???



Bruce Lee lyricist flows exorcist
Scaring the **** out of a weak diss
Not even a snake could hiss dismiss
Fools talkin' trash but they can't dish
Out they own fish i attack them critics
Made for poster gimmicks mimics
Dont make it off of my blocks rocks
Go hand in hand in all states pocket Glocks
Street stocks aint where its at matter of fact
Its on a street with no walls hidden stalls
Holding my ***** the last curtain call
Black Jesus murdering Ceasar's
Infamous teasers become believers
Once the guns burns out the bleeders
End recievers watch me dig out their divas
Polygamy origami my salami mommis
Holding charge to my tommies
Grimys don't dare glance a chance
Dance in the moonshine drinking moonshine
Laughing out loud souls bawling loud
But the physical is painless souls stainless
Like my Copperfield use mental bullets
To shield out the emotions Neo matrix
Let's face it most really basic lace it
Stashed the cubans with hash off the dash
Let my thoughts crash then reconstruct the flash
Back memories one to my unharmed armies
Five star general true black Washington
Ball room full of champions and made dons
Check the Fred Sanford hat with the golden brown bats
Sitting out like I'm maxed bets over Jacks of all trades
Tirades streets I serenade made ya girl fade waves pomade
Blue magic fantastic broke from the tragic of heavy statics
Watch the burns lay more bars than taverns see my guns
Amazing blazing like purples tapes gazing htown showdown
Shaolin linked with the south park coalition clink sink
My thoughts deeper than a submarine black
Supreme human being still reigning as king touching
All hearts soul darts none could part feeling the charts
52 weeks 365 days a year even leap years I draw tears
From the clouds of thunderstorm broke the charm
Silence the pharm alarms blows like sounds of Islam
Desert sharp pierce the bark trees to bred my mentality
In actuality check my locality next to the space age scenery
Cosmos traced like octimos promo cashing portals
Copperfield ya grill see the how the hairs drill past the roots
Appeals I'm so real I'm so in love with the wings of a dove




Its blood money tryna get to the pyramids eyes stys
Slys from the wise I took notes from hells advice nice  
Devils playing advocate to heavens faith relate wait
My skills tryna make mills but I jumped over mass appeal
Rather be gangsta like scar miss the white cream seems
Only the fakes get the sting part of the outside rings
Make my own strategize hate through loves crate
Buried my tears long ago once I learned to let go
Over the pain that drains souls to the very essence best
Presences held from fleeing the past futures is presents
Gifted eternity pass the love ology base head psychology  
It's crazy off the rip slows sips so I can take mental trip
8 dimensions 7 demons 6 Angel's ready to strangle
Humanity to another angle degrees fall on your knees
Watch for the skeez no tease super pump soakers squeeze
Better be on yours Qs to Ps let the souls genuine deeds
Feed those in needs I'm here to payback diamondback
Cutters hiding in the gutters milking cows with no udders
Fools spitting bars with no feels claim they real
Tryna play gangsta with the mass appeal
This Copperfield will give em a new feel shield
Emotions makes for the most commotions
Slow sips of the poisoned potions oceans
Of thoughts deep cuz I was brought coastin'
In Atlantis star Galaxy came outta spirituality
In the forms of humanity now i see treachery
Rising before me black skin equated to black sins
Peeps still buying lies to believe in im giving
Nothing but the raw truth see my demonic troops
The goetias gave me  Solomons seal sigils
See the black sequel never ends so pretend
That we dont exist or problems arise risk
Why is it ever time i try to find myself
An adversary always after ya health my wealth
Was bombarded then discarded parted
From history but my real ****** know the story
Tryna brainwash white wash our history
Everybody knows Eygypt is black as can be
Just look at the walls of phoroahs legacy
A beautiful goddess black Nefertitis babies
Look like me im coming at Cha Cleopatra
Even made Caesar fall to his knees in pleas
Couldn't help he got lost that black *****
So bad he didn't even see his best friend
Plot the the killer theme it ain't a dream
I'm preaching the facts cold dominant tracks
Step into the booth where history formed at....

Yo let's take it backkkkk


Thy kingdom come thy will be done slums
Dont want none what's a snare to a drum
All you get is beats like when my heats
Tapping spines sounds the flatline cold mind's
Of a serial killer hawks the thriller fill ya
Coal mind's with the flawless diamonds
**** what Simon seys **** chasing dead pres
They all slave masters plot the disaster
Trillion dollar industry folks looking musty
Tryna keep clean I see the grand surpreme
Of evilness that rings sings and binges flings
Caught the bees sting took it like man understand
This for my future and unknown fans
I speak facts **** all them gun bars and play
Im a real vet say what the **** I wanna say
Darkness preys upon the light showcast sight
Brailled the non-believers become bleeders
To the afterworld lives put up for silver and gold
Metals watch the blooming rose peddles
Out of the cracked concrete settles mettles
The universes spreading curses worsest
See the pain empty out the closest Black Moses
Burning bushes talking with the spiritual judges
Tryna heal without the crutches clutching
My mind its hard to define chakra realign
Numbs the kind im a new grand design
So many tears so many fears through these tattoo tears
I wish you could here my pain sighing from the rears
This atmosphere ain't nothing but hell as it appears
As I steer hatred wheel still tryna survive my black will
And I'll still be ready for my body to chill suckas always ****
The real anytime you speak on the real man of steels
Put my faith in Copperfield instead of the Gods who feels?
No mercy no pain author of confusion mayne pain
Seems to follow us everywhere we go I cant grow a muscle
Same movements sun tzu mentality residence hesitance
Cuz the deaths distance is killing me tryna see the eternity  
Will they bury me a g or will they let me die a soldier easily
In the battlefield see the ****** tunnels my vision funnels
Life and death been ******* since the beginning they winning
No matter through goodness or sinning I'm still pending
My skills to a broken feel no more can we be real pills
To **** to meditate a conscious the nonsense so intense
Straddling the fence tryna hop over the deaths residence
But it seems so attracted fear seems attracted to success
How can i be blessed when everyday I'm faced with new stress
I guess the bigger the pockets see how they change the topics
Focused on my prophets this the life of yosef through the devils optics
Cant stop it I shook the cane bit the ways of the enslaved man
Who are we? We dont even own thee ourselves weighing curses
Over the same scriptured verses when will we see the hearses
Thousands of flowers weaping souls in the hour ready to shower
Fake love ain't no love no peace just the belly of the beast
I was release now i got peace holding a ****** swords
Listen to the words and stop nodding ya head to chorus

Greetings mutual friend,
hard times dash Great Expectations
in this Bleak House
whereby battle of life ensues
when Sunday chimes
from Master Humphrey’s clock
somber american notes
invoking overshadowing doom
from young gentlemen:

Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, Barnaby Rudge
Martin Chuzzlewit, David Copperfield
and Young Cricket on the hearth Little Dorrit
collaborated on Pickwick Papers
with dombey and son detailing
how I (a haunted man/
ghost’s bargain) alias Mudfog
self absorbed in his Old Curiosity Shop

hunted down by boyhood days
(akin to an endless Christmas carol
frieze as child’s history)
now a  thick dust covered holiday romance
memory portraying this signal-man
(according to George Silverman's explanation)
eerily similar to
the mystery of Edwin Drood,
exiled after his trial for ******

birthing three ghost stories
inhabiting a haunted house
affecting the young couples lamplighter,
an uncommercial traveler
evidenced by pictures from Italy
prone to speeches, sketches
by Boz and his lazy tour
an oft repeated Tale Of Two Cities
best read at dusk.
