Sweet & Salty

life

 I'm about to flip the switch
I'm about to flip the script
in a ball of confusion
don't know which

 so stand still like a soldier
on post watching come & go
 "halt who goes there"
ask the owl whoo don't care
 still and silent eyes full of violence

 seen its share from up there
necessary like legs on chairs
otherwise we sittin on floors
in beast mode standing on fours
 the great escapes outdoors

 NBA on pause who keeping score
tricks of the trade a spades a spade
slide of hand pick a card
 any card is this your card

 whose behind the cause
whose giving orders
whose the boss
who signed the bill for laws
 to kill us on streets like dogs

 got a itinerary got logs
a website where I blog
is it smoke or is it fog
cracks in mirrors image flaw

 mama say chittlins ain't chit
without the slaw she also say
obey the law okay but swine
 ain't my flow it kill't my bro

 it burn like lye in perm
I don't know no chemical
I dread this fro like a Rastafarian
buffalo soldier with the pride
 of a lion no fear no crying

 seen the shadow seen the giant
on the ceiling what a feeling
to be on the planet in these
hard times knowing all the time
 what's written on the next line

 if this the time no need
to wind the watch gone tick
regardless I go stone cold
I go heartless protecting feelings

 knowing whole time
disease starts in the mind
full armor to protect the shine
 to pen the next rhyme

 braced for the fire next time
