The Tortured Poet Returns
The tortured poet has returned to cause chaos on the page
With a pen full of ink that is sharper than Michael Myers blade
This is about to get horrific and bloody it's not for the weak minded
I was forced to live with dark thoughts, but now I keep rhyming
I've learned to not listen to the opinions of the people who discredit the caterpillar, but praise the butterfly
I refuse to bring laughter to people who didn't want to know about what I suffered inside
As a teen I had dreams of a hug from my dad, or being another guy
So I sat alone in my room inside of the children's home
Feeling alone
Writing lyrics while listening to Eminem became my building zone
I don't know what they're authorising
but this authors writing
Slaughtering and torturing
Causing chaos to everything you're organising
Been through some times which were traumatising
I'm just trying to survive in this world I was born to die in
I got back up and cleaned my wings anytime I fell short with flying
I promise that I will have killed my demons and beat depression by the time the morgue is arriving
This isn't a game, there isn't a slot where you can make a quarter slide in
No buttons for you to push to stop this rhyming monster
Even Jason Voorhees finds him bonkers
I'll climb and conquer
With a heart of pain and mind of vodka
a pen full of ink that can't run out
My lyrics won't be dumbed down
Inspired by Rakim, Nas, Eminem and Big Pun
I'm now facing everything I once hid from
Speak your mind, because no one will respect the fence you sit on
The lost kid
Who became a Hip-Hop head
Starting to appreciate the fact I'm not dead
Time to start a new journey because some of my bridges have been burned
I've fell back in love with the pen, so you could say the tortured poet has returned
