My New Shoes

My new shoes
Walked for miles
danced around had their own style
Had a tale
Had a story
Had a moment morning glory
Rain was pouring
fire roared
Thunder shouted lightenings chords and
My new shoes
They stood through it
Though thew knew it
would break through it
Tie em up strap em up
Head up high
Open the door
head outside
Don't be afraid that there's tears in your eyes
the pain will subside just like you described
you're lucky enough to have two friends below
keeping you grounded while you're missing shows
left by a fluke
that door has closed
you're broke you're sad your soul smells the road
Characters been exposed
the house, the gig, the girl soon betrothed
the comfort you thought was real life
real life the journey that walks 'way from real strife
Real life the path you feel down below you
two leather souls smile up just to show you.
My new shoes
Walked for miles
danced around had their own style
Had a tale
Had a story
Had a moment morning glory
Rain was pouring
fire roared
Thunder shouted lightenings chords and
My new shoes
They stood through it
Though thew knew it
would break through it

I sit and witness
is this you
Is it me
And as the rain falls
wet walls
crumble
crumble
My Lord Has it ended
Given that time was suspended
Given what space apprehended
Given the way that I feel
It seems we’re stuck here in a wheel
And the wheel keeps moving forward
But we keep feeling cornered
And its toruture
Drawn and quartered
Boarders without Board
Bored with Monotony
He
She
can't describe us
Cause we both say
Its not me
Lots free But its crowded
Clouded with their baggage
They keep moving on
Their spots filled with our new song
I sit and witness
is this you
Is it me
And as the rain falls
wet walls
crumble
crumble
Ive been so blinded by your greatness
blinded by your magic
wrapped in all your fabric
trying to find a way to say this
I think I got it
Let me fly up in your spaceship
Let me bring some balance to your basement
Couldnt even hide it if we tried it
All our stars collided
brief history, a time coincided
you and I united
Virtue is true patience
I played it cool til it was hot
You got me all excited
And now you're my standing rock
wasnt life without your water
reluctant and relentless
I made it through your matrix
Stop
You gotta witness to your fitness
but most of all existence
Im faded off your fragrance
finding risk in your resistance
confided in my cadence
closer in the distance
you need to cut it
call this what this is
what a year to ride in love with you in every instance
I sit and witness
is this you
Is it me
And as the rain falls
wet walls
crumble
crumble
Grits and gravy
Lifes not perfect baby
But at least the pain is wavering
I get it
I lied
Im a piece of scum
But Im trying
Im tired
But I wrote this
Feel Helpless
Feel Hopeless
Feel like growing
Greatness
If its its over
Save this
Behave its the
Best Shot
Caught what the test wrought
Fought missed the best part
Start back at the fresh start
My God what a blessed carp
Part in time or emotions
The new life following motions
My devotions going no where
Ive written how much I care
And I stare cause its too fair
I sit and witness
is this you
Is it me
And as the rain falls
wet walls
crumble
crumble

Stupid Me

Good on ya,
Finally on the flipped side of the Pancake
Land makes man shake
Flipped side caused by earthquake
Baked and Beholden
Older, but not Olden
Growing but not Golden
And Im loving and emboldened
Choosing from the other side
And Otherwise its fine
I stand upon the seashore
While others watch the signs
Im destroying time
Got a weapon for the crime
Im not caught up on cotton
But does brother got a dime
I got a lime for the gin
Paper for the poetry
Leslie for the Rotary
The Film has got the glow you see
the notary has noticed lotus
We’re part of the coatarie
The show for me
if covertly
if mala beads or rosary
the same thing
dont change
change is of the essence
Your presence sets the scene
my presence sends a message
Im taking from the past
While you celebrate the future
We make the present last
cause our presence is the suture
I got the new title track
titles whack
but I kinda dig the flow
blow from the tenor sax
Back of other black
Stacks and brand new slacks
Crap from kids
But I admit, I love the caps from crib
I fight for the win
cant win, get the press
blessed by the man who got his shit from the best
Set another scene
Finta smoke some green
Meet in outer space
Where we lace a brand new placement
Wasted
on the Brand sounds
Got another day to get the band of hounds
Yo Dawgs
Lets lounge around
When ever we kick it then the beats abound
While I clown at ya kid,
See your mess, see you bluff
Well I would too if my shit was your stuff
I would too If I fell from the stupid tree
Stupid me, Stupidly Let my mouth run head of me

No Face

I am ever seeking out my visage
But what the use of staring in the mirror
When you've never found your face
This is not a case of false identity
I beg you please, find me
Scene
from the back of the room
theres a boy dressed in white and he shout out GO
Flash
Theres a girl dressed in red as they serve her the sentence
she shouts out NO
For those hipster kids and trendy kids
I guess we never made it
mom and dad they got us hooked so they could go get wasted
plastered pale and pasted to the back of the room
dont know what else to do I guess ill just give up real soon
Loons call, spoons fall, the room fades to black
But the stranger came with knowledge and with wisdom attacks
Loons Call, Spoons Fall, twos better than one
and Im done with solo flights so now its time to have fun
Son theres no more time for twitching no more bitching lets run
and Watkins to the bar for my boys with the puns
Haha foolish man
who are you fool
I thought to knock you off the block
but then Im old school
you need to take another look at where I been
Maybe Im stronger Maybe Im wiser Maybe Im faster Maybe its slim
and oho silly kid
bitch this is mafia
this shit gets crazier than so I gotta talk to ya
you need to shut up, sit yo butt up , lets begin
A lesson from ol C slim
I am ever seeking out my visage
But what the use of staring in the mirror
When you've never found your face
This is not a case of false identity
I beg you please, find me
Gold Gold
Cotton Cotton
feel like king but its rotten
forgotten what it means to be a man
Forgotten whats the plan
If the industries the liar
and you might be its puppet
at least your dressed in gold threaded cotton
take caution
Gold hits the floor when he spits
The greedy could control him
but their sick
Quick to advise, but quicker to forget
The best of the best
At least better than the rest
Those festival eyes
The substance controls stress
Crescent moon in a bag
Seems that the feelings left
Im staring in dead eyes
Bereft of what was left
of the life that he was searching for
Sad and mostly deaf
Blind to whats unwanted
Haunted by the past
the cash wont last forever
the snow covers the grass
Your face never looked better
said the liar to the mask
and this will all blow over
said the powder to the casket
