-Verse- It was a Tuesday I recall, the third week of Fall I got a strange phone call in the AM Lenny said his girl had an illness they never saw I could hear it in his tone, he wasn't well at all I said that I would swing through, he should go to bed Give you a text when I'm off, brotha hold ya head He hung the phone up first, I just watched the screen Seeing the seconds stop, like my time was up for me I took a shower, got dressed, and I grabbed my lunch Put on my jacket then proceeded to head out the front Went down the staircase, thought I caught a glimpse I couldn't put my finger on it, something was amiss I felt a twitch in my lower back Made a face full of puzzlement, nah I'm too young for that I stepped out, felt the breeze as I steady my vision People's Instinctive Travels and the Path's of the Rhythm I took a right as I headed down the sidewalk The leaves colored and covering all the asphalt I see and Black & Mild box and a McDonald's cup I'm losing focus and forgetting that I'm in a rush Doubled my pace, but the dew of the dawn Made it slick where I stepped and this grate I'm upon just...

-Verse- After the racket, I'm laid on my back Surrounded by black and this pain in my... My legs gone numb, did anybody just see where I fell from I'm screaming for help but I fear there is none I can only breathe some, do I have a collapsed lung Why is the sun setting this soon? I don't understand why the walls are closing in, in this room I see a golden circle just above I look through and see a thousands angels reaching down about to touch As they grew closer felt my heart rate rise Even though they were of love, I had terror in my eyes Couldn't stand it anymore, thoughts of what I'll leave behind If I could rewind time, I would be just fine My thoughts are like a melody, I hum along As I'm staring in the heavenlies, the ambiance is strong I flash back to my childhood, up on Manorwood Wishing I could live a life others understood -Chorus- A child's born, a man dies We scramble every 24, not knowing our demise You should reflect in your moment when it's there Before the curtain close, and your spirit leave the air A child's born, a man dies We scramble every 24, not knowing our demise You should reflect in your moment when it's there Before the curtain close, and your spirit leave the air -Verse- I can't believe this is how I'm bout to exit I ain't tripping off the fact it's unexpected, but it's wack Bet my niggas have one last laugh on me But my son will probably ask, why is Daddy still sleep? Emerged from the dark, returned to the dark My back is soaking in piss, shit, and pus Infecting the blood the germs are creeping up But this hole in my back is more than enough Ain't seen a soul walk by Wake up, even if they did, they'd probably walk by I know my phone gotta be near where I linger Feeling through the sewage, felt some furry on my finger Angels looking more like demons as I'm studying Faces horrifying, I no longer wanna mention them Sleepy as I micro nap, trying to stay alert Body temperature is dropping from the vomit in my shirt -Chorus- A child's born, a man dies We scramble every 24, not knowing our demise You should reflect in your moment when it's there Before the curtain close, and your spirit leave the air A child's born, a man dies We scramble every 24, not knowing our demise You should reflect in your moment when it's there Before the curtain close, and your spirit leave the air -Verse- I spent so many years tryna share my gift But they don't never give a fuck unless radio plays it They swift to hit skip then ask bout the music I'm bout to lose it, is you that fucking stupid?? I blame it on the shapes, rectangles is the worst Carry one in your pocket, your jacket, or in your purse Misplace it and people kirk, it's like we mentally hurt Nobody socialize, we thinking it's too much work I'm angry I fell and I'm bleeding out But if I die right now, won't feel like I'm missing out I'm sorry son for Daddy going away I left you a couple bucks, I pray you will be okay My parents will probably die soon after because of grief Only in war is my pops supposed to bury me I'm getting tired guess it's time to go to sleep It ain't bad as we insist, at least I'll finally be at peace -Chorus- A child's born, a man dies We scramble every 24, not knowing our demise You should reflect in your moment when it's there Before the curtain close, and your spirit leave the air A child's born, a man dies We scramble every 24, not knowing our demise You should reflect in your moment when it's there Before the curtain close, and your spirit leave the air

-Verse- Am I dreaming, though I was in the sewer This cave is freaking cold, feel like I'm in a cooler Never the less, I'm stumbling, trying to get my bearings Like I'm swimming upstream, stubborn herrings This ain't no Heaven or Hell I read about Pastor never said about, thanks for the visit But I'm wishing they just let me out I see a ledge and approach on the sneak Take a peek off the peak, and the sight underneath, wow 1 million men and women amassed In a motherfucking cave, I was shaking so bad This ain't good, why these people down here If I died I can bet I wouldn't be found here Oh shit, is this death? I'm mad confused, cuz the chills on my skin Are consistent with the flesh Thereby making me alive, who am I kidding? I got no idea of this predicament that I sit in I'm transfixed on the crowd, they like a couple miles down But I can hear they mumbles as they compound And resound off the cave walls I'm guessing death is the debt that no man can ever pay off I think it's sinking in, I'm in that in-between As they are judging where I rest in piece My 45's feel tighter than a tough spot Now why are all of them below and I'm up top Points of reference to determine, tap into my higher learning My facade is of bravado, but I'm trembling like a virgin Paranoia got me burning, am I burning or I'm hot? When I got into this game, my flow more like a blood clot I'm deserving of the depths, I'm not generous, I'm not kind In my spare time, sharing sunshine ain't ever cross my mind I'm bout to leap and end it, hope they won't be offended I'm hurting deep inside, I'm tired of pretending I had so many aspirations, so many plans But when you shack with the crabs you never stand a chance They wanna pull you down, how can I pull it off Texas chainsaw, closet freak, I wanna fuck 'em all While mapping constellations, the world is so impatient The stench of man can't hide behind a pussies fragrance Give me a 0 rating, if I can't be the best Let me excel at being less...

-Verse- I cannot feel my legs, I cannot feel my arms I see the fire burn but it's cold as winter storms My eyes are froze and crusted, blurry vision readjusted Try and scream but my vocal chords can barely function I sense an evil presence, hey who's there? Not really frightened but confused, caught a few glares I can hear breathing but it sounding more like wheezing The devil's chiefin' , and I get it, no good reason Not to, God pulled off a block move Left me stranded but it's cool I'd do the same too Cuz I'm a bummy option, from a decrepit race We humans like some acne upon a perfect face So bring it on Luci, you ain't gon' never move me I've been through dark days, solemn as a drama movie Matter fact, nah I'm pissed off And the lives we receive only piss poor So I'm gunning to the finish, and kill you when I'm finished Speaking so many tongues, you can't interpret a sentence Fire in my eyes, and spices on the tongue Wrath on my skin, hatred in my lungs Death to my brothas, die nigga die Long as I'm better than you I'mma try To rob you and cheat you, lie and mislead you Sell you this potion, I pray that it's lethal Starving my Father, killing my Mother Raping my sister, envy my brother One blood, so we all from the same stars I'm getting what I put out like it's paddle ball But nah, we let the media raise us Preachers and speakers, bigots and racists Blood fellatio, enamel in braces Vomit and pus on the edge of they faces I've had enough of these thoughts you instill Time for me to go or shits about to get real That ain't a threat or promise, it's a guarantee I don't give a fuck I will disembowel a deity You think I'm kidding, nigga try me I got this righteous indignation on my side piece And if you move any closer, I swear on Christ...

-Verse- It's not what they said in the book Lights everywhere, nah this a more subtle look Matter fact, it's a planet with two moons The 12th chakra above is in full bloom Sorta desolate but I don't feel alone Eyes each way only dunes cover stones In addition there are birds in the distance Gliding on magic, sounds like they whispering Forests and coves, water falls with gold I had on no clothes, but did not feel cold Or ashamed, but I noticed my yeah had grown It's too bad huh, as well as it goes I started around but my steps were light I'm in paradise bro, my disposition is bright When I heard a voice call me from steps back Whe I turned around I had to step back She....she I have no words that were coming to mind Her skin was like a breeze, that we begging to tease Playful and proud, she was there to appease Her eyes were something like a jade from the deep When she fixed them on me, I would freeze like no heat She blinked so slow it was as a sunset I'm in love and she has not even spoke yet And then she step forth, I nearly came apart Get your mind out the gutter, go and rinse it off She said she had been waiting for eternity For me to love her, for her to serve me And then she knelt before me and she called me King Then got to work on my upgraded dang-a-lang And to think I thought that this might get boring I felt her tongue and then I started soaring Left off the ground, headed for the sky Tried to look down, tell my baby bye-bye, she was gone I'm zipping so fast past planets and suns But not of my choice, I was summoned I came to a freeze at a mirror that was massive It reflected me and the galaxies in back of Where I was going, I'm unknowing but no stress This is an odd death, as I began to fall I caught a glimpse of my baby from before She only let out a wave and told me to be strong It wouldn't be long before it's time to...
