That Bitch and a Half.

As I draw the drapes

Today at my place

My room sinks into semi darkness

And then so do I.

They tell me, you are a bitch

A bitch and a half

But then somewhere deep down inside

I think I fell for a bitch

It was fun, girl; while it lasted

And now it’s time to move on

The opening of doors and the touches on the back

Everything packed and kept on a rack.

I am going to stay in touch

And I am going to visit

And we are going to hang out

And have fun; without a doubt

But I don’t think I will ever again

Hold you in my arms on a narrow stair

With overgrowing weeds and gusts of cool air

My hand on your back and that leaf in my hair

Dancing to the tunes of some stupid old song

Now correct me baby’ if I am wrong.

That kiss on the cheek

That Sunday after the week

And that hug in the car

Oh, don’t I remember when we turned it into a breezer bar

Someday I am gonna get old

My knees are gonna creak

And its gonna be easy to catch a cold

One of those days I am gonna open an old, dusty book

And I will soon come across a photograph

Which is so gonna’ make me laugh.

I am gonna end with this

Life is gonna move on as it always has

And so will I, I may add

and if ever you need someone

who understands your heart

you'd always know where to start.

Keepin' ma' Sanity'

They try feedin’ me anti-deps

They tell me it is calcium

The shit’s gonna keep my bones strong

But i am smarter than a bitch that was ever born

I flush em’ with the shit in the mornin’

Goin’ goin’ gone!!!

I ain’t crazy, i ain’t mad

Oh yea! I know;

that’s what every looser says!!!

You must think i am one of those motherfuckin’ lunatics

But then maybe i am

But do it look like this nigga’ eva give a damn?

In this motha’ fuckin’ earth insanity fuckin’ prevails

I see the sane and the things they doo

Like jerking off in the corner of a public loo

And this nigga’ bows down in front of the cross on his bed

Thank you God; you command respect;

For makin’ me a little soft in my head!!!

They try feedin’ me anti-deps

They tell me it is calcium

The shit’s gonna keep my bones strong

But i am smarter than a bitch that was ever born

I flush em’ with the shit in the mornin’

Goin’ goin’ gone!!!

I know i ain’t no studious

but i ain’t need no studious

bring em’ one of those your motherfuckin’ nerdy clown

and ask em’ to reciprocate the rap i just put down!!

I know kid, i know that sound,

you can’t do it,

Coz’ there aint’ no book around,

So just screw it!!

Yo bespectacled ugly nerd!!

Yo mothafuckin’ mockin’bird !!!

there ain’t no bitch who screw me up

coz’ i screw em’ before they could screw me up

yo this nigga’s a dog

bark! bark! bark!

yo this nigga’s a dog

but he ain’t not born a dog

he loved, he lost

and he did that over again

and again

but this nigga don’t hide that

nigga’ proud of the kid he left behind

yo nigga’ she ain’t no cindrella

so stop whinin’ around.

They try feedin’ me anti-deps

They tell me it is calcium

The shit’s gonna keep my bones strong

But i am smarter than a bitch that was ever born

I flush em’ with the shit in the mornin’

Goin’ goin’ gone!!!

And when its all ova’

And when they shove me in the ground

Will you make a sound?

Will you shed a little tear?

And say, ‘look, there lies a friend so dear’

Maybe you would, maybe you won’t

But this nigga don’t care

Coz’ then some of you are gonna’ weep

and insult the sanity, this nigga’ tried so hard to keep.

They try feedin’ me anti-deps

They tell me it is calcium

The shit’s gonna keep my bones strong

But i am smarter than a bitch that was ever born

I flush em’ with the shit in the mornin’

Goin’ goin’ gone!!!

Angels or Demons?

I sometimes wonder why doesn't the rain come down all at once
Why does it have to fall in those million little droplets

The sheer number makes me shiver
It makes me feel timid, weak

Its like the rain Gods play with my sense of self-tangibility
The hoard of raindrops kinda' renders me inconsequential

Its a stark reminder of the very fragility of my existence
and of those around me


Rain drops were there before i was first seen
they would still be there after i breath my last


It took us aeons to accumulate
and they took just minutes

and they do that over and over again,
compiling on my misery

the mere inception of rain is enough to provoke a chill within me
and its my soul that shivers, not my spine

only if it could come down all at once
and leave me feeling powerful again

coz' I would persist
even as it ceased to exist.

but then there are those
who say, "look at those million little angels"

and my beloved is a monster
which would eat us all up

but trust me o' poor beings
the monster may inflict pain

but wont you take pain
if misery were the only other lane?

and as for your "million little angels"
bestow your trust upon me;
they are not of Michael's breed.

They are just Demons in uprising,
worthy of nothing but cruel, rude exorcising.
