recoup my own sane asynchronous //
maintain same love even thru distance //
skin made of footprints, no metronome to follow //
abide my own laws, left as ya words rang hollow //
unalien to loss. grew inside catharsis when the tension first gone //
fester poems like flame, manifestos //
embedded name and marrow //
i ain't supposed to be here //
heart safe from security. peace i choose //
whatifisms 'fore i sleep //
constant state of dreaming better tomorrow //
freedom's a fluid fixture //
two fours scale a broken mirror. my reflection praxis //
when the labels outweigh they descriptors //
schematics incomplete without practice //
was taught to paint bigger pictures //
born martyrs only glorious match is overcoming authors //
ain't talking effectiveness when i'm talking artist intent! //
scorched earth, euro step tombstones effortless //
my greatest strength genuineness //
my inheritance

guilt like the man in the wall, useda write it down //
give beyond feeble my medium denial //
dance easy still //
steel sharpens steel, stone piles //
fill my head, stubbornness //
name myself after martian from meteorites driftin //
aimless, when they don't matter //
prayers sculpt skies like fireworks perpendicular //
passion pyrokinetic //
call and response aesthetic //
used to love her she useda love me too //
used to love her you useda love me too //
ricochet off old stances //
lost innocence fuel vibrance //
vision field tinted //
pixilate hillsides, eclipses //
my shield new indents //
rap with my grinning left grippin horizons //
spirit gravitational pull, gave all the goodwill i've received //
and pushed full way thru //
like cube in the right square hole //
pen entourage of hell and underground railroad //
as i become collage... //
abstract bare soul //
throw my body unstable to destiny echolocation //
chose excavation over knowing //
enable writing eclectic spare parts in my recreation //
what's left feels incohesive as i need //
hands toolkits incoherent //
more suited for optimistic than adhesion //
my magnetic energy meditation always chosen //
agency impatient these petals weren't stolen //
plucking, plucking, watch the garden rot off old stances //
lost innocence fuel vibrance //
vision field tinted //
pixilate hillsides, eclipses //
my shield new indents //

There's always a worse way to live
Seen it on corners of 125th
The underground above sewage level
Stewards dressed in dapper dan and flooded wrists
Hitting pull ups on scaffolds
Its the only way to lift
But check your hands
Rusted cuts, cigarette butts
Encrusted sin
Flip a coin between my fears and faith
Keep my pace steady break ground and shift the plates
Pre destiny more words to say gilded cage
I check my hands again, scars never left the page
Let it bleed, seethe, and writhe
Let me mix it with the paint
Adorn my streets with culture and let it cultivate
Blood pump, pulse, pulse
Block party with fire hydrants
I saw rainbows today
I saw gold today
hit heaven, hit grace //
walk the mezzanine between my niggas and faith //
they keep me sane, uncomplacent //
innocent impatient //
pace myself according to stasis, rest i rap from one take restart off wayward mistakes //
all my hesitation stay! //
soundscape rhythm brought by waves //
became missingno touching the shoreline //
no forethought to glitches, tryna break the bank beat the fucking system, no riches //
useda pay for lust in peace //
live in the future just to perceive past when shit get bleak //
anti-pyramid scheme //
bad penny outta grief, i wish you well //
i do my duty as enlisted
by self tutelage, poor enrichment
broad pickings
lose sight, we all victims
awe-stricken i was sitting
masquerading like i wasn't me
always kept a q or up to keep me company
fuck with me, couldn't do it at your best
had to get it off my chest last trip and
hit you with a suplex like taz
get to cutting up like victor zsasz
in the past, main organ on my fleece
used to speak death
sink or swim, i opted not to breathe yet
i can promise you i seen stress
when your mother miss her mother
you just hoping she can grieve less
rest assured the shit was sobering
don't pester me, i'm getting over it

lucrative soapbox defeat the purpose, dead culture //
whites scapegoat the ocean //
watch my eyes fade, 3rd person //
water bearer, summon kaleidoscope storms for the doldrums //
wind curtains, function override form //
all my blues reflect departure //
tribed with burnin' macaw, name and nature //
smothered in healing ash, suffering withdrawals //
by force of nurture walked you home //
sapphire hands translucent //
picking grass whistles off tomkins asphalt //
found a fitting end wondering if you were even there //
no hard feelings, honestly the memories is scarce //
the clarity mixed in artifact //
autumn inspects a loose lash //
cross examine causality //
inshallah the universities between us un-impasse //
fresh starts feelin like borrowed hourglass //
watch the j curve fulton street mournfully //
been natural way before the locs freed //
fork in the road i chose good //
cried after distro //
when community the utensil //
nobody used //
hearts meant to be open //
protection never allured me! //

tell myself i'm enough //
crossfade who you think i am with liberation //
this the sound of waking up from a man's pieces //
picking up my ambition like dreams theses //
legs strangled to the whim of my needs //
to be even in silence and feel completely sane //
if time's a cyclical exchange my internal sense perfect ying-yang //
marriage of dual names //
all the self left infused into lands carthaged shoulder pain //
my ocean hues morph into unpardoned chaos bars //
compound identity unforced //
honesty's a kind chore still choose niceness despite scars //
had to remind cesar he got a big heart //
we all need it sometimes //
smiles stunted by wise decisions //
neutrality's a position i could never exist in //
wear my emotions sleeveless like siegfried //
bare skin //
and the distribution never been the fairest
the only one so foolish with the errands
the adulation been useless
tip my hat to the sickest sense of humor
a glimpse of winter in her every movement
to you i say good riddance
walk with my face down as penance
eyes wide open but i'm distant
sink or swim no difference
i rock the tints in magenta
make s'mores when i burn bridges
harnessed living with the discontent
i thank god she don't believe me
cold water lather rinse repeating
i never knew a day i'd call easy
ain't shit fair but i'm laissez
been there done that lost days
she's still elusive like certainty off prayer
that jesus piece won't save you

too big for the both of us //
changed the focal point //
when shit get serious //
you would laugh i was turning into luminescence //
middle of a black hole //
eyeing up a storm //
ceased hurrying canes //
as peace begun to form //
war of attrition alone with thoughts //
kept thorough tongue sturdy //
gutter words survey situations //
before divulging towards emotion //
we was living much longer than we felt worthy //

reaffirm my personage learning from mistakes i've made //
inner vigil more than yearly how we useda yearn christmas day //
110th cathedral parkway, hung thoughts dance gallows of blind faith //
if there's a will there's a chance //
cutting onions with my tongue recent nostalgic like taste of pomegranate //
kept the promises 'cause they're promises //
love's an easy manage //
ion negotiate space no more, my heart empathetic to panic //
anxious skism shot in the dark //
used to comment death to dead stars //
row and column constellations //
consolidate journeys into hesitance //
dangling seconds before my hoping soul cleansed //
tabula rasa paint the town red //
private affairs public business //
my apologies written in the ways i knew you'd listen //
forgiveness! //
how im grown n don't know
how to love my brothers n sisters
without going against some sort of entity
i hate it
lost blood over a ocean
blood lust n overindulgence
the enemy n i know it
at a loss for everything
projecting strength
in quick one offs
we express the same pain
so how can i relate n not know what to say
i hate it
i pay attention to what they want me to see
whats in my gut
what they constructed
what they want for my dreams
i couldn't escape em
in the day
tryna recover my peace
something symbolic
bout how the sample repeat
something important bout
prayin more than than i eat
something horrid
in forming molded by this evil
i know its bigger than me
its up to us
cause nothing of this empire clean
or even subtle
