So gone
Same outfit, same outcome, you're always wearing my patience
This ship is sinking simply cause we're of no relation
You've set the bar, set the tone, but failed my expectations
Constantly causing conflicts that create confrontations
Complaints combined with concocted lies combust the complications
Disconnected cause been disrespected on countless occassions
Mental murderer, I swear I've killed you a thousand times
Detailed descriptions depicted in my vivid book of rhymes
A book of blueprints revealing my cerebral life of crime
An oath of silence is practiced similar to that of mimes
Pill popping when swallowing the jagged pill of pride
Unsettling circumstances, seems like it's suicide
A prisoner to my castle, I feel I've been confined
Definitively deconstructive is how we've been defined
Crazy combination we're like oil and water or fire and ice
Opposites do attract but tend to be imprecise
(Hook)
I bet you wish you could turn back time so you could get me back
He may have all you want, but there's something that he lacks
Feeling so clueless, although you have all the facts
Now that I'm gone, I'm never coming back...
I've packed my bags, I've packed my bags, I've packed my bags,
I've packed my bags, I've packed my bags...yeah
(Verse 2)
Subconscious subdued by silly subliminals
Her leaving letters behind reminds me to use the urinals
Catching Flack for killing you softly seems criminal
Emotions long unattached, damage was minimal
Pitiful, childish tendencies kept you from maintaining
That which you seeked for so long, and hoped of one day obtaining
Hope your happy with the recognition you're currently gaining
Acknowledged your foolish ways, but you I'm never naming
Just for the hell of it, you would say you were celibate
So now I celebrate freedom, you should see all the hell I get
Say you're emotionally scarred feeling really delicate
Funny, emotions the missing link, you unaffectionate
Betting man, took a gamble, lost it all, 'cept for my sanity
Seems we were cursed from the start, vulgar profanity
Pushed my buttons, always questioned the man in me
Eating at my soul, consumed me whole, quite candidly
(Repeat Hook)
Me, Myself, I...WE
Me myself I got a revolutionary mind state
My actions mobilize the evolution of the primate
Society that we're trapped in that's encouraging the crime rate
Grandma's getting punched and robbed, fearful to stay out late
Close our eyes turn our backs on it, settled for the blind fate
Put our faith in the corrupted government, the same one you say "I hate"
Jobs are scarce, money too, lash out cause of what we going through
Hustling by any means, you tell me, what we gon' do?
Bodies falling in our streets, result of the robberies
Scratch and fight for all we can, face to face with poverty
The government ain't helping, the media makes a mockery
With all my financial struggles, still their hands are where my pockets be
Our leaders are all dead and gone, so we wander carelessly
Evicted from our homes, wonder who will care for me
Cost of living going up, can't seem to feed our family
But soft spoken tones hardens their hearts, so You and I now becomes WE
Warriors engaged in war kicking down every door
Open up your eyes and minds witness what we're fighting for
Equality and happiness, the two things we most require
Two things the top percentile didn't have to fight for to acquire
So raise your fist and stand with me, who says we're "preaching to the choir"
Don't be deceived by their deceit, we all know the devil's known to be a liar

Brainwashed
ficticious thoughts make you believe you're something that you're not
idolizing Superman thinking bullets bounce off you, til you get shot
thoughts embedded in our heads through the television
subliminal messages corrupts our childrens vision
no more inspiring the young to be lawyers and doctors
just be a sports player, a rapper, or a rocker
and in the hood they're distracted by "urban literature" shoved in their faces
designed to stereotype and make the conscious racist
and white america's brain washed told to idolize the minority
fooled into believing to glorify the ghetto story
our children trained to die while young by playing with toy guns
and when they get older it seems real bullets seem more fun
but who's to blame for the tragedy that befalls our youth
that's the question one should be asking, if you're seeking the truth.

Drugs
She claims I'm corrupted, but I know that she loves it
Perception of the public has her behaving like a puppet
Mask, she's in disguise, even contacts for her eyes
Appeals to the critics, unconsciously to no surprise
Character portrayal living a life ridden in betrayal
Success amounts to nothing, when in the end it's written that you'll fail
Back to the drawing board, sketching up a new scheme
Tricks of the trade, artist looking for a new theme
A new inspiration, a brand new vision
But still her self-esteem issues compromise her decisions
Lusting after men, idolizing all that seems to glitter
Unhappy and unsatisfied, still can't disguise the fact that she's bitter
Playing the part of a role, clearly losing all of control
No boundaries and no goals, sinking deeper into the hole
Lights grow dim, beginning from within
She thought we'd both lose, but in the end I alone win

Seize the moment
Time keeps ticking, tick tocking away
Memories passing me by, all of my days
Step back to see what I've accomplished
Fell short of my promise, I am astonished
Disgusted with the lack of enthusiasm, lack there of pride
Took my life for granted, feeling empty inside
Mentors have mental distaste for what I've become
Molded into a genius, but perceived to be dumb
Greatness in my grasp, still chose a different path
Ridiculed by my subconscious, which constantly laughs
Fallen from grace, viewed as a disgrace
Always in character; mask on my face
Man in the mirror says I'm better than you
To switch places with him, what I wouldn't do
Truth spoken in jest, a joker amongst peers
Appealing to the masses, while disguising my fears
Still I yearn to converse with an open book such as I
One as transparent as me, with no need to lie
Do you ever feel empty? Even cold at times?
Feel like you're down in the pits, with no desire to climb?
Satisfied with the outcome of the choices you've made?
Or scared to sleep at night, scared that your life may fade?
Educated to the degree you were destined to be?
Satisfied being paid hourly rather than salary?
Is this what your Parents, Grandparents, and Guardians expected?
Or were you hard headed, refused to learn, and help was neglected?
Will your children look up or down on past generations?
Are they destined to fail or have you set expectations?
Time moves fast, waits for no man
Plan for failure is the result of a failure to plan

Simply put...
I simplify my songs for you simpletons so you can simply see
The sacrifices for simplicity signify my sympathy
So complicated is the common consumer conscious
Caught up in the chaos and commotion, converting to nonsense
Seems I'm simultaneously sensible and yet cynical
Concentrated concepts claim casualties; condition's critical
Behold a being beyond barriers brainstorming out the box
Latch on and listen to lyrics that eleviate the locks
Breathing life into bodies battle tested and broken down
Done garnered recognition now I'm looking at gaining ground
Appalled at all the poor adolescents accomplishments unacknowledged
Corrupted by the crooked critics that keep 'em from going to college

Character Defined
Guess I'm a racist cuz I hate the black cloud hanging over me
They say you overcompensate & overthink, therefore you're overly
Under rated and underestimated, guess they don't understand it
Can't get over being under a microscope, but yet I'm still demanded
An overachiever with an underhanded demeanor
Climbed over to the other side, understood that their grass was greener
Pastures that surpassing the passion that I had for the path I chose
Honestly it'd be an honor if I wasn't the only one who knows
Sniffles from the nose, need a tissue so I can blow
Losing my composure with this music that I compose
My proposition is that my competition shouldn't oppose
The anger and the frustration that I impose
Get under my umbrella while we reign in champagne
Overindulging in this critical campaign
Sparking the mind of the people so I walk with a box of matches
Headphones attached to the youths while laying on a mattress
Unconventional and unique no one can match this
In a league all my own, so they calling me classless
Picture still ain't clear to them, they're in need of glasses
Timid student since childhood, so he never asks
For the roars of the applause although he leaves them in awe
Fundamental Young Intellect seemingly without flaw
Tongue lashing with the verbal yet lyrical onslaught
Superior vocabulary skills, untaught
Taunting the spectators who question my creator
Why speculate ghostwriting, question why I'm greater
Not illiterate but literally never been a fan of literature
Singled it out as insignificant, until I supplied My signature
My titanic penmanship seems to never sink
Pen and pad commands the conversation leaving me to think
Clear conscious creates the most complex of concepts
But I'm not a Character quickly taken out of context
To fit the demograph or rather the public perception
No dots or broken lines, untraceable therefore no connection
