My Life
My Life Is On The Line -The B-side
My life is on the line,
I gotta write, I have to write
Cause these lines
are my life
I used to dream of being like Fred Wesley playing my bone on stages
for top scale wages
Dreams like these were interrupted
Deffered by life the moment I lived through crises
My pen became my vise it..
comforted me through the darkess days
It soothed the beast, my violent ways
It caused me to look and be observant
Look again at situations
I'd now become His servant
So I gotta write
I have to write
Cause these lines are my life
I gotta write because I'm tired of my son listening to Bullshyte
Lyrical nonsense!
Talking 'bout nothing or what seems quite irrelevant
If in conscience these words from sound does he take heed
I'd rather it be from his fathers pen that bleeds
This "thing" that evolved from the real Hip-Hop
causing delusions and confusing has to stop
So I write ryhmes that reflect the real deal
so that my son will know the difference
between the fantasy-- and what's real
So I gotta write
I have to write
cause these lines
Are my life
I gotta write because in my lowest point in life God spoke to me
-Rather through me-See
The gift he gave me was revealed when I didn't even know him
It came through me from him in a poem
From then on my life has changed
My focus was now focused
My path was rearranged
No more sorrows,No more depression
My poetry is----My Therapy
That's said without question
My so-called fiends where exposed and replaced
My lost-loves ..A memory
My past.. A disgrace
Words are now my love they come even as I slumber
Flying around my head like a helicopter
Forming in my head like a teleprompter
I gotta write
Because now I just can't quit
I'm now with the Houz of Repz
I guess that makes me a H-O-R Hor for this shyte
So I gotta write
I have to write
cause these lines
Are my life
I gotta write because subconsciencely
My 9 to 5 doesn't fulfill me
Sure, On the surface I am confidence and smiles
But beneath the surface
There's a poet inside
I'm tired!
Tired of accepting who I've become over who I am!
Tired of depending on others
to give me what I can
My right!
My right to fufill my dreams it screams out to me
waiting to be heard
So much is going on
And noone says a word
I -HAVE -TO- RETALIATE..SO - I CREATE
MY WRITING IS MY FIGHTING
AND MY FIGHT IS MY RIGHT!!!!!
SO I GOTTA WRITE!
I HAVE TO WRITE!
CAUSE THESE LINES
ARE MY LIFE!
AND MY LIFE-IS ON- THE LINE!!!!!!!
