some shit i'm workin on...not done yet

see it all as a test now...
my bodys left this earth, and i can finally rest now/
the best time i ever had was dreamin'
as i wake up in the morning to discover the meanin'/
cleanin slate, i prolly need a break
but my feet willl shake and make me rise up from this fetal state/
when the junkies veins turn to gold the needle breaks
drivin off the cliff, no longer in need of breaks/
when we fall, the wreckage is hauled off
the bodies still missin, the search is called off/
another hallmark card, this life a wal-mart job
throw down the name tag, we all walk off/
and pick up the pride that's stapled to our last check
keep rockin the boat, and ya slip on the glass deck/
and i'm sick of the fast lane,
life is art, often sold out for the cash gain/
the rat race cause the elephants to stampede
try to leave my mark, before the world stamp me/
brand me, a damned seed, just grant me one damn dream
the eyes see the prize but the prize is a damn scheme/
i seen what my fam means, when they say
that you ain't lived till you died, and i just died today/
so god if i may, have another chance i'll change
i tangoed with fate but the whole dance was strange/
i don't need fancy chains or designer names
i see the price of fame, ain't worth a life of pain/
from never knowin who you are
…or botherin to find out… until it's all gone/
this is the stars song that they sung to the clouds
if they got the words wrong, the sun still figured em out/
this is the wind beneath the birds wings, the journey is now
i manifest the blues the birthed me, and hurried me out/
cus the shell wasn't meant for me
my baby brain considered the womb a penitentiary/
break the fence now i'm free to see the other side
but first i'll take a nap as heaven sings a lullaby/

...this is my life in a nutshell
not so much in the words it's more the way that my gut felt
...some say i live in my dreams
as i wake up on the banks thank god the river redeems/

...how could you ever have known
that i rule over earth on a featherbed throne/
if it's really where the heart is, then i'll never get home
i'm just a permanent guest as forever it roams/


hope the tone of this song doesn't put you to sleep
but if it does, i know the dream will broadcast in 3D/
this is everybody leaving early wish you could stay
i say a toast for those loved most before we start the buffet/
i pray to jesus buddah allah all in hope there's a reason
just got a taste for life, ain't got to addin the seasonin’/
