Verbal Intercourse 2: My Life
I've danced beside The Devil, pale moonlight we're
toe to toe, the embers of my life emit a warm and
somber glow,
which lights the darkest corners of a place inside my
mind, a twitch defines my eye and I'm resigned to
think of times,
When life was oh so simple, go to school, do work
and eat, time changed the thrill of victories to
urgently defeat,
the dreams I chose to seek fell by the wayside to the
street, the wind beneath my wings became the
Timbs beneath my feet.
A couple lady freaks emblazed my steak, their gravy
sweet, with mashed potato lovin in the hot and hazy
heat,
I thought I was the man but was a man who claimed
to be, what changed all that? The coming of my
precious baby G.
I've flirted with the outskirts of a suicide attempt, it
couldn't have been that bad you're thinking but in my
defense,
my mental fortitude was not as strong as is today, I
used to lay back with a spliff and long for better days.
Well some things change but stay the same this
thang is not a game, my Milton Bradley antics kept
my mental slaved in chains,
and though I aged with grace it seemed my actions
stayed the same, I closed my eyes, stopped looking,
guess that's when the angels came.
The knowledge I possessed it grew by tenfold
overnight, I learned to love 1 woman and just how to
hold her tight,
my queen to be, she seemingly arrived by oversight,
I pledge for my whole life to never tell her no at night.
I cut off family members cause they all were tryna
trip, I'd rather die inside a ditch than love those lying
tricks,
I'd rather guide a life beside my wife with iron grip,
than share my blood with individ'uals dyin for a hit.
Attention junkies pumping massive venom in the air,
debase my name with swears cause in the long run
I don't care,
There's 1 God who will judge me for the way I've
handled strife, my words will sex you up it's verbal
intercourse, my life.
