to you.

brain behind a frame, see what I’m thinkin 

oh the sins, we choose to participate in 

blatant… blank stares,

straight thoughts. no chasers.

we just laid there, we left pain there

came as we made shame there

the situations crazy, uncomfortably I blame it

on the fact that were just lazy,  and it remains so complicated.

waste my breath, but I’d rather save it

i’m into recyclin’ baby,

#ORGN just so amazin’

and I swear you’d probably praise it

but maybe I’m just faded and this love has got me gone

I would’ve asked if something was wrong

but you were just too busy be bein’ grown and on your own.

the thought of you alone

keeps me worried, how you doin?

am I stupid or far gone…

or just to far from home… 

i’m so eaaaaaaast.

i knew this king,

he sat high above intimidation & right below arrogance.

without plannin it… he gave a chance to all ✞rilldren

while building a rap kingdom where he resides…

all in sight of his wonder, tried to compete for his wonder

wonder why he sits alone on the throne, waiting for the next contender.

spilling out a couple words & all you ever heard was 

“king kills kent.”

unsure of the meaning only knowing it was repeated after a peasant left defeated

so i pleaded with the king; “what’s real don’t have to be stated, what’s authentic don’t have to be mentioned.” 

 

unless it’s…

 

war between worlds, diamonds & pearls… they want the glory so bad.

so blasphemous, a story ‘bout the last lad will have you laugh at his….

misfortune

 

according to legend, he stepped against the rap master

rehearsing a flow that he could not flatter… a fly with

but he tried it

unworthy of a chapter in the kings raptures

 

so his majesty whispered… and let it linger

“king kills kent.”

when the night has come 

and the land is dark

and the moon is the only

only light we see

no, i won’t be afraid…

no no no no no no

just as long, just as long..

just as long as you stand by me.
