Matters of the Mind

Scholar at the heart
Of where my words were
Pen pierces palm
A bit further
Calm in the fervor
Staff and the rod
Bring comfort
Love in the cipher
Only want plus HP
In my circumference

Over competition
I choose cooperation
I know it's always options
I run the operations
In a random country
Lost in the stations
Took four years
Gathered all my patience
Got big
Got scammed
And lost all my savings
What a world
I break my daily bread in
Niggas out baking
Cake with revenge icing
Makes sense why
Their heart's made of ice
Naturally fragile
And self-care is rare
Won't indulge
Unless it's a vice
If it's good for you
Think twice
And move once
Because it's all that you got
I seen thru the plot
Been undid the knots

Rain on the window
Train at a high speed
Bedroom wall gallery
Of all my accomplishments
Shikuwasa water
Because I've heard
That Okinawans live longer
Ain't never been there
But I'm on it
One foot ahead of the other
Like hieroglyphics
Keep going
You got to stay with it
You got to share your story
With the kids
Make sure
They don't forget it
Go ahead and live
Among the legends

Got the wings now
Like falcon
Mans wanted football
So, we smash mouthing
QB collecting dollars
At the end
Extra orange slices
A reflection of what real life is
Seen my grandparents lifeless
So, I keep my light lit
I got to shine bright enough
So, I can reach the heavens
Across the world
To let my dreams unfold
Recorded my log
For when my story is told
Appreciate with time
Get the rate if it's sold
But the value goes higher
For as long as you hold
I stay true to my laurels
Can't let the game change you
I know my growth like florals
See what the rain do
I dig deep like
Shore-washed oysters
I write raps
For the times I felt voiceless
Call cousins
If I need grace and feel hopeless
I drifted where it's open
Shifted my focus
I turned inwards
I'm controlling my locus
Give my whole heart
Like this verse is my opus

And my spirit grew more
When my form was all broken
