Disappearing Ink

I wink, I wince
I blink, I rinse
My face up in the kitchen sink
What danger did you think was coming
When you chose to take the plummet
And plundered like pirates
Searching for something shiny and getting sunburnt
This whole life is sometimes nothing but a bummer
I run for cover, find it underneath
These thoughts as I wonder
Think deep, and I pause for a minute
I'm asking god for forgiveness
Even if I may doubt his existence
From the tops of mountains
To the bottoms of these ditches
I move on persistently
Not a thing could stop me it's just
Science, you can't deny it
It's a fact
I murder your preconceived notions
Violently when I spit these raps
And I leave a map to my soul
With this ink and page
So I can one day be reawakened in a different age
Better make sure that you say
Just what you meant to say
Because once these words have been printed
They will forever stay

This disappearing ink
For eternity my spirit's linked
To these lyrics that I create
For people to hear and think
And it never dissolves
Long after it is gone still the memory calls
This disappearing ink
For eternity my spirit's linked
To these lyrics that I create
For people to hear and think
And it never dissolves
Long after it is gone still the memory calls

See the beginning's already
Been written
I have been smitten with this wordsmithing
Ever since I was kid in kindergarten
Sitting, my attention was drifting
In infinite directions
Living somewhere off in the distance
The consequences
Of taking an interest
In lyricism led to listening
To the great ones, studied how they did business
And then made friends with
Some like-minded pimps
And we kicked it, spitting over instrumentals
But the shit was always a gimmick
Until this one fateful night
I met this dude he says my name is Mike
I got some bangers here that you may just like
Eight years later
Look at us now
Putting it down
As we're cooking these sounds
Blazing like Cajun spice
Crazy the way that life
It keeps us on our toes
And I suppose that's why I've chosen
To waive my right
To remain silent I won't stand idly by
This world can ask a lot
I've got to write my reply in

Disappearing ink
For eternity my spirit's linked
To these lyrics that I create
For people to hear and think
And it never dissolves
Long after it is gone still the memory calls
This disappearing ink
For eternity my spirit's linked
To these lyrics that I create
For people to hear and think
And it never dissolves
Long after it is gone still the memory calls
