Pride and Emancipation

In the words of my father
"Deceit walks among us"
In the words of my brother
"Self-preservation is above us"
Alone in this instance
Afloat in the moments
To home in the distance

Aurelius Aurelius
Eyes realigned
To signs
Guiding sin
Within confines
Calls shudder and dwindle
Stutter and stumble
Through your prayer words
Expecting you to say
It's insidious
Precarious
Mindfully delirious
So say your prayer words
With a heavy "yes"
Amen Amen
Emancipation
Emancipation
From possession
Aurelius Aurelius

She's a
Sophisticated lady
Got the mind of a tiger
Ready to get bloody
Got plenty of steady levees
There's plenty of deadly berries
Try to poison and conspire
Let the word of liars
Run her world with desire
But she's an
Unsedated lady
Uncomplicated, educated
She knows where she stands
As long as men have got her brand
She ain't
Thinking of stepping down
'Til she gets what she came for
Claim more than her success
Aim for more than her regrets
Let them intimidate, harass
No mind, no need
They can't
Fulfill her dreams for her
She'll walk away happily
Unworriedly about scrutiny
Been long enough hanging around
Can't hide what this world's about
Can't shake her or break her
She'll take you and awake you
Stick your luck on a slate
Ain't take this shit eternally
Regretably, historically
The odds are stacked against her
Piling up trust of investors
Make excuses for their successor
Finger pointing to his handprints
The defence of his influence
Hold all their confidence in men
They'll diminish her, her influence
Like inequals like children
Call her "sweetheart" and "honey"
They made of cheap parts and money
She got her street smarts outrunning
They want her sweet tart, they thirsty
Power hungry to their bones
Leave the rest of her at home
Their chrome stolen from her dome
But she ain't finished
Can't be diminished
Relish in the ditches
Cherish the stitches made from riches
They can make her dance and sing
Bring the sting to clip her wings
Leeches count on her complying
But they can't stop her from thinking
This is the last of her walking
On a leash made for controlling
She got her eyes on one thing

Shatter my dreams my reality
And bet it all on one chance
I still got the fight in me
I'll build a world from my plans
A romance of freedom
Don't need nobody else
To stand with me
I'll take, I'll take
My dying stance

Aurelius Aurelius
Eyes realigned
To signs
Guiding sin
Within confines
Calls shudder and dwindle
Stutter and stumble
Through your prayer words
Expecting you to say
It's insidious
Precarious
Mindfully delirious
So say your prayer words
With a heavy "yes"
Amen Amen
Emancipation
Emancipation
From possession
Aurelius Aurelius
