Like the Universe

We are all just like the universe
changing through space and time
reacting to the environment
developing our minds

trying to be right
no crimes
what if we were all innocent
living in a guilty world
"forget about feeling guilty, we are innocent instead"  // DMB

twisted and turned
in our pursuit of happiness
looking for laughter, no sadness
just gladness

but pleasure with no pian
is like responsibility with no blame

many lame claim that we're all the same
but nobody is the same
cause we're all insane
nobody is sane
nobody sane
not sane all the time
all the time

all the time
I try to write and rhyme
Speak my mind in every line
I don't know where the fine line was drawn
between your world and mine
or even if your life is fine
or if that line is fine
I'm pretty sure my life is fine,
all I want
or is it all i need?
All i want is a girl that looks fine by my side
there for me through the tough times
right by my side
someone who can't lie
honestly, honesty is all I need need

when you stab me, I'll bleed
but I feed off my blood
my love that pours out,
all my expressions,

this is all me
no doubt
don't shout, get up and scream
do you know what I mean
If you haven't seen what I've seen
see the world as I see
Been where I've been
akin to the shit that runs though my head
running through my head
all the things you said
all the things i said
all the things she said (T.A.T.U.)
running through my head
all the things you said
you said
mmm. what you say? (Imogen Heap)
Oh what did you say?

There's no real Clock

       Tick Tock

Beat
The hands on a clock
on the wall
in the building
on the block
with the shop
where you can buy
a new clock
new clock
tick tock
tick tock

the clock beats constant
but always feels too fast
just like Lennon
I want a love that has no past
but oh no please no
no yo ko oh no
oh no please no woman like that

you treat me so mean
you're the meanest old woman
that I ever did see
I hope that you say soo
You gotta pack your things and go

That's right
I'm hitting the road,
gonna run the track
and I'm not coming back
No more, No more
No more what I need
but I need what I want
and I want what I need

buy anything at a store
a watch that goes tick tock
like that clock
on the wall
in the building
on the block

when you come close
knock, knock on the door
you know the rules
act like
you've been here before
act like
your not a whore
act like
your pure in the core
cause if I am
you are
but who knows?

Maybe I ain't
so I grab a brush
and get the paint
you be my canvas
those curves
that tight ass
don't worry, bar
you'll make it to class

we all just trying to pass
pass by the time
all these rhymes in my mind
pour out like a spout
like the spit out my mouth
as i chomp on this food
think about what i should

consume what i want
eat what i need
we're just like the animals
we gather, we feed
we're just another animal
lions and tigers and bears, oh my
we feast like the lions
with our eyes of the tiger
we behave like bears
but we bitch like the badger

we think we have swagger
we murder, we stabbers
we quick with our daggers
et tu brute
our words, our lines
we quick with with our judgments
our nods, all the time

All the time
our heads turn
oohs and ahhs astound
we listen to the sound
we see what we see
we see what we want to see
we be what we want to be
but we can't see all that we're turning out to be
because I can try to be me,
but I just do as I see
Monkey see, Monkey Do,

we go with the masses
we listen to dudes with thick glasses
we look at girls with nice asses
we go oohh for nice passes

I'm really so simple
so simply complex
it's a mess
how much beauty we possess
it's hard to imagine
an eternal light
that shines so bright
through the night
through the pain
through the fight

I just might, I really should
Could if i would
I really gotta stop with the
shoulda
could
woulda
cause when i die
i wanna say
if I shoulda and coulda then i woulda
cause pat riley did
I can't wait to have a kid
cause i will do all I can do
but I'm happy right here
right here in the now

In this moment, right now
with my eyes on the prize
unveiling the disguise of lies
that make up most of our minds

but i will break free
that's gonna be me
defying gravity
defining define
just saying what comes to mind

honestly, honesty is more valuable than two points
like sublime i smoke two joints
i try not to disappoint
but y'all seems to miss the point
no bullzeye
if your minds eye is covered by lies
fried
french fries fill the belly
media makes our brains jelly
we sit and we clean
and hope not to get smelly

cultural lens are hard to see
but my contacts got blurry
clean em off
no use to hurry
what's the use in worrying?

There's no real clock
That clock beats constant
but who needs a metronome
if your living acapella
rapping off the beat
getting people off their seat
jumping off the boat cause we're not going nowhere
so swim far out
see how far you can go

no structure, no form

but we need there to be
so we can make sense of what we see
somehow make sense of it all
be all that you can be
be your army of one
get your shit done
have fun
live slow and run

Repetition

Repetition
I repeat myself
Repetition
Everyday
Every single damn day
Same old shit, man
just a different day

Day after day
week after week
time after time
turn around and back
up and down
right and wrong
left and right

day after day
I repeat the words I say
lay after lay
it's hard to remember what i say
when im having fun just playin

in control of my life
working and improving
hearing and listening
dancing and grooving

sitting here proving
myself to the world
trying to hit the right note
play the right chord

living this life holding a double edged sword
me, myself, my world and yours
filled with hate and toys
cute girls and boys
bad boys
with all their ploys
to destroy
to change
to build

rewrite the story
if the words get blurry
there's no need to hurry
no need to worry


when do the words get boring
no longer storing
