Neutron Starry-Eyed

These are thoughts from the dark recesses of a bright mind
Ain't 50/50, I keep 100 when I write mine
Ask the audience, couldn't call a friend when it's grind time
Thought I had the answers, now I'm using lifelines
But we live and learn, its best to not let bridges burn
And my judgement stern, bring the hammer down court's adjourned
Because tables turn and seats at them are better earned
But don't be concerned, it takes patience so wait your turn
It's a marathon, it ain't about speed, it's bout stamina
I use my words wisely, it's not a lack of character
No flash please, I don't do it for the cameras
So at ease, I'm so laid back as I'm rapping this

Caution to the wind when I create, couldn't less if you rate it no
Coz you haven't had my losses so it's unrelatable
I had high hopes, I didn't expect fate'll go
Flip my world upside down, now my expectations low
I rock the mic with pride when I spit these bars
We all play the same game, thinking goals set us apart
Nah live better, we're less different than we think we are
I mean we all have crazy uncles, yeah we all have scars
And we made advancements regardless of circumstances
Can't let losses stop us, I'd rather we take our chances
So when we get buried there's no regrets in out caskets
Hindsight's 20/20 looking through rose tinted glasses

Don't be a prisoner of the past, don't give yourself a hard time
A trip down memory lane could be a hard drive
I read only what's present, it's a gift how I make bars rhyme
Not black or white, I'm coloured moses, see I part tides
Seperated from the haters, still a brown recluse
Catch me on the web, always making my next move
Pay me my respect then go ahead and cut the cheque too
And if it's bullshit, then miss me like my ex do
Lost in the shuffle, I was learning how to deal
Just had a lot on my plate wasn't trying to make a meal
Took my time to lick my wounds so I'll remember how they feel
And if I show up late it's coz it took my time heal
